About the Show:

"Recognize good people that are going to do the right thing, give them what they need to do the right thing, and then provide some vision and direction.”

 - Stuart Collier

Meet Stuart Collier, a man who saw untapped potential in the people around him. Fresh out of college with a real estate license  Stuart was full of rebellious energy. But despite his initial enthusiasm, he couldn’t make a significant impact in the real estate industry. That's when life led him to a steady 9-5 job as a nursing home administrator.

Balancing work and family life, Stuart stumbled upon unexpected success in the healthcare field. He pioneered a revolutionary management style that put frontline caregivers in the driver’s seat. This shift in approach propelled the nursing home to the rank of Arkansas' number one facility. Stuart was on a roll, but then life threw him a curveball.

His addiction derailed his career and personal life, pulling him off his successful path. Hitting rock bottom became the wake-up call Stuart desperately needed. It was this challenging period that reshaped his perspective and instilled in him a newfound sense of gratitude.

This gratitude didn’t just transform Stuart personally; it also fueled his comeback into the real estate business. Armed with lessons from his nursing home days, he founded a real estate firm centered around people, not just profits. Stuart knew that the secret sauce to a successful business was empowering those interacting directly with customers.

Today, his real estate firm is the fastest-growing in Arkansas. Stuart’s journey serves as an inspiring testament to the powers of perseverance, gratitude, and recognizing the value in others. Join us as we delve into his compelling story, full of highs, lows, and valuable life lessons.
