Summary

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Eddie Wilson, a third-generation real estate investor and prolific entrepreneur who has started and exited over 120 businesses. Eddie shares how growing up in a family of entrepreneurs laid the groundwork for his success, and how painful early business lessons taught him to manage fear and practice gratitude. He unpacks the structure behind his billion-dollar exits, explains why he prefers service-based businesses over e-commerce, and reveals how he uses an “empire operating system” to scale businesses and real estate simultaneously. Eddie also discusses his not-for-profit, Impact Others, which builds self-sustaining ecosystems for children in over 100 countries.
