On the Built4Profit Podcast, hosts interview Aaron Zucker, who has acquired assets in 21 states and surpassed $100M in transactions!

Zucker shares how he fell into entrepreneurship as a college junior by buying a bar in Tuscaloosa through seller financing, then discovered commercial real estate after realizing landlords “collect rent and play golf.” After building a leasing career in Atlanta and Charlotte and learning at family office, he left a high-paying job to start his own value-add retail real estate business and later pursued franchising, selecting AFC Urgent Care for its recession and e-commerce resilience. 

He explains his mindset shaped by grandparents who survived the Holocaust, his use of EOS to focus on quarterly “rocks,” and ZIG’s model of partnering with experienced multi-unit operators to scale with limited equity or debt. He closes by advising listeners to follow their gut.
