It started with a bet Mark made on himself, walking away from corporate America with no guarantee it would work, and the discipline it took to turn that risk into a real business.\n\nToday, Mark and Keeley run a design-driven real estate and development company in Tampa's urban core, known for full gut renovations that turn overlooked properties into standout homes. They've also built a mastermind community of local investors, all while running the business together as husband and wife.\n\nWe get into:\nThe moment Mark decided to leave corporate America and what that bet actually looked like\nTheir best deal, and what made it work so well\nTheir worst deal, and the lessons that came out of it the hard way\nWhat it takes to build a real estate business as partners, both in life and in business\nHow they built a design-first brand that stands out in a crowded market\n\nIf you've ever thought about betting on yourself but weren't sure you had the stomach for it, this conversation is proof it can be done, and what it actually costs to do it."}
