16 months ago, Zack Metcalf was listening to the Action Academy podcast while working in pharmaceutical sales and buying one rental property a year.
Today, he’s developing boutique micro resorts, partnering on a 240-acre hospitality project in New York, and speaking on stages alongside entrepreneurs he once looked up to.
In this episode, Zack breaks down:
- Why he outgrew traditional rental investing
- The power of getting in bigger rooms
- How masterminds accelerated his growth
- Lessons from losing $25K on a failed deal
- The mindset shift from employee to developer
- Why alignment matters more than money
This episode is about betting on yourself, thinking bigger, and taking action before you feel ready.
