In this powerful live episode of the CG Podcast, I sit down with longtime Collective Genius member and CEO-level investor Micah Self. Fresh off the main stage, Micah shares the evolution of his business and leadership—from swinging hammers on his first flip to building a high-performing wholesaling operation in Houston with a mission grounded in faith and service.

We explore the turning point that shifted Micah’s mindset from purely transactional deals to life-changing interactions—and how that spiritual transformation now guides every aspect of his company. This isn’t just a conversation about scaling; it’s about doing business with deep purpose and legacy in mind.

Real estate is relational, not just transactional – True transformation—for you and your sellers—starts when you care more about impact than income.
Leadership is modeled – Your personal values influence your company culture, hiring, and long-term legacy.
