Manage episode 491744895 series 3572299
What does it take to leave a traditional job, face down fear, and build a thriving real estate business from scratch?
In this special episode of Skip the Lines Podcast, Jonathan Mitchell sits down with entrepreneur and real estate investor Oliver Davis. Originally from France, Oliver moved to the U.S. and dove headfirst into real estate, evolving from ADU development to wholesaling high-ticket properties. His story highlights the relentless grit it takes to pivot industries, overcome self-doubt, and build a business from the ground up—all while managing a young family and starting from zero.
Oliver shares the ups and downs of his entrepreneurial journey, including the emotional toll of waiting for deals to close, the importance of mentorship, and how a single conversation at a conference changed the trajectory of his business. Listeners get a front-row seat to a transformative journey that proves success favors the bold—and those who trust the process.
