In this episode of the Digital Executive, hosted by Brian Thomas at Coruzant Technologies, we dive into the inspiring entrepreneurial journey of Graeme and Leanne Carling, Scotland's powerhouse couple. With a saga that begins with overcoming early failures to becoming Scotland’s largest privately-owned landlord, the Carlings share the grit and strategy behind their success. Graeme, influenced by financial education icons like Robert Kiyosaki, alongside Leanne, with her acute talent for sourcing acquisitions and deal-making, have expanded their empire beyond real estate into sectors including engineering, AI, and green energy.


Leanne, as the Mergers and Acquisitions Director at United Capital, elaborates on her criteria for selecting lucrative deals, emphasizing cash flow, capital, and equity. Meanwhile, Graeme reflects on the Carlings' humble beginnings during the financial crash, purchasing single-family homes and gradually diversifying their investments based on market opportunities and future trends.

Now operating globally, with recent expansions into the U.S. market and investments in AI and security, the Carlings are excited about the future. They share insights into their latest ventures, such as Elevate Holdings in Florida, focusing on civil and structural engineering, and their interest in government contracts and health tech. This episode not only highlights the Carlings' remarkable path to entrepreneurship but also showcases their continuous quest for growth, innovation, and the impact of partnership in business success.
