The Russell Westcott Podcast

Build It. Own It.


Listen Later

In this episode, Russell Westcott is interviewed by Derek Issac from Rapid Results Creators for a practical, behind-the-scenes conversation about how real estate investors and builders can work together to create lasting wealth.

Drawing on more than two decades of experience and tens of millions of dollars invested alongside contractors and home builders, Russell explains why the real leverage in real estate isn’t found on the job site — it’s found in ownership, alignment, and long-term partnerships.

Together, they explore how investors can scale without micromanaging construction, why builders prefer working with a small number of strong partners, and how the right relationships can turn individual projects into scalable portfolios.

This episode isn’t about building harder.

It’s about building smarter — and owning what you build.

COACHING & MENTORSHIP

If this episode sparked clarity or challenged how you think about investing, you don’t have to figure out the next step alone.

Most investors don’t struggle because they lack motivation — they struggle because they lack clarity, focus, and a strategy that actually fits their goals and lifestyle.
