In this episode of Beyond the Deal, host Michael Wagman sits down with Trevor Mauch, founder and CEO of Carrot.com, the leading platform powering real estate investor websites across the U.S. and Canada. Trevor shares his raw journey of building Carrot into a multimillion-dollar company serving thousands of flippers, wholesalers, and agents—while battling burnout, doubt, and the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship.

Trevor reveals how he turned things around by auditing his energy, setting non-negotiables, and surrounding himself with the right people. He breaks down the principles behind building a business that funds your vision, gives you back your time, and creates an impact you’re proud of.
