In this CG Live episode from our Select and Elevate event in Dallas, I sit down with Jason Reynolds, a former pro baseball player turned real estate investor, who joined CG in January and has already tripled his business in under a year. This is a masterclass in action-taking—from construction bottlenecks to team building, Jason walks us through how the right conversations at the right time completely reshaped his company.

He shares how moving project management in-house saved him tens of thousands per deal, how mentoring from other members like Phil Jackson helped him fast-track solutions, and why transforming as a leader—not just a hustler—has been the key to scaling his business and his life. If you've ever felt stuck wearing too many hats or unsure how to build a team you can trust, this episode is your blueprint.
