In this interview, Alex (left) talks about how he utilized college as a resource to find better opportunities to supplement his classroom education.

When Alex was 24, he co-headed a division with Young Entrepreneurs Across America, bringing in over $1M revenue in his first year (which is typically unheard of).

He went on to start a real estate company, CC Solutions, that is growing faster than expected. Alex is a fun-loving entrepreneur with a big work ethic, and I learn something every time I talk with him.

During the conversation, my phone beeps at me a couple times from calls. So far I’m 3/3 for some type of audible interruption in these podcasts. I’m thinking about planning it next time and making it a regular thing. It could be like Where’s Waldo, except you have to pick out the sound that wasn’t meant to be there.

Surrounding yourself with the right people

Choosing opportunities based on your comfort zone

Utilizing college as a resource

Starting a real-estate business
