Manage episode 520074086 series 2504329
What happens when a pro athlete walks away from the game and builds an entirely new kind of success?
In this episode, I had an in-depth conversation with former MLS goalkeeper Spencer Richey to explore his remarkable transition from the world of professional soccer to thriving real estate entrepreneur. Spencer shares the pivotal mindset shift that allowed him to step away from sports, the courage it took to reinvent himself, and the excitement he found in helping others grow their wealth through innovative real estate opportunities.
You’ll hear Spencer break down the vision behind launching Sound Stays and The Missing Hotel, the real challenges of starting from scratch, and how he uses lessons from the field—discipline, resilience, and teamwork—to earn trust from investors and partners. He also opens up about balancing ambitious hospitality projects with the realities of family life, all while continuing to scale his growing portfolio.
If you’re curious about career pivots, real estate investing, or the personal growth that comes with betting on yourself, this conversation offers real, honest insights you won’t want to miss.
Things we discussed in this episode:
Spencer’s MLS-to-Real-Estate Career Pivot

Leaving Pro Sports & Redefining Identity
Building The Missing Hotel in Texas
