Ash Patel & Amanda Cruise interviews Ryan Narus as he shares his journey from a middle-class upbringing and a $60,000 MBA to the founder of a multimillion-dollar mobile home park portfolio. He explains why traditional education and slow, safe growth often limit entrepreneurs and how living in a mobile home park, teaching himself Spanish, and doing what's uncomfortable can accelerate learning and grit. You'll discover the importance of trailblazing, the power of doing things no one else will, and why being David versus Goliath has its advantages in today’s evolving real estate landscape. Most entrepreneurs are told to follow the conventional path, get that MBA, rent their own apartment, build a business step-by-step. But what if the secret to massive success is doing the opposite? Ryan Narus reveals how living in mobile home parks, learning skills the hard way, and taking unconventional risks propelled him from near zero to a thriving real estate empire and why this bold approach might be exactly what you need right now.

In this solo Horizon episode, John breaks down the Supreme Court’s ruling on tariffs, the subsequent policy shifts, and what it all means for the broader economy and commercial real estate. While tariffs don’t directly hit property owners, he explains how the ripple effects—particularly uncertainty—are slowing job creation, household formation, and overall space demand. He highlights how weaker migration and hiring trends are creating headwinds in overbuilt Sunbelt markets, while pent-up demand continues to build beneath the surface.
