Welcome to a new episode of The Founder Podcast! Today, we're excited to have real estate investor and entrepreneur Jerome Maldonado joining us. Jerome has built an impressive $600 million real estate portfolio over the past 28 years, focusing on sustainable and workforce housing. What's fascinating about Jerome's journey is his unique perspective on working with immigrant business partners versus those from the US. He believes immigrants who aren't "jacked up" by the US education system often make better partners, as they're more eager to learn. Dive into Jerome's insights and lessons learned over his 30+ years in the industry and discover a new perspective on education.
Highlights:
"You know, what's great about America is that I love and I tell people, this is I'll take an immigrant as a business partner over somebody from the United States nine times out of 10."
"If I would have known 10 years prior that people would have really believed in me, I would have grown exponentially."

Welcome to a new episode of The Founder Podcast! In today's episode, Chris discusses how to build an effective accountability chart for your business. Unlike traditional organizational charts, accountability charts focus on roles and processes rather than just people. This approach helps in managing growth, avoiding silos, and creating clear paths for accountability and communication within the company. He also shares his personal experiences and provides practical steps to design an accountability chart tailored to your business needs and future goals.
https://nextlevelhomepros.com/june25thworkshop
Highlights:
"The fault of that is you're relying on people and not processes and roles."
"We overestimate what we can do in one year and vastly underestimate what we can do in five to 10 years."
"Any one person can manage between three and eight people."
