Carson's Corner: Entrepreneurship & Investing
Carson's Corner is the podcast for commercial real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and operators who think in decades, not quarters.
Host Carson Jones — investor, author of The Red Flag Playbook, and licensed commercial real estate advisor and business broker — interviews founders, family offices, and industry operators to unpack the deals, strategies, and hard lessons behind real wealth creation.
Carson's Corner is built for investors, entrepreneurs, and operators who are serious about long-term wealth creation — not get-rich-quick schemes.
The world’s wealthiest investors approach investing very differently than most people. Instead of chasing short-term returns, they focus on preserving wealth, reputation, and legacy across generations. Their decisions are often driven as much by relationships and trusted networks as by financial models, and many of their best opportunities come through private deals, family offices, and invitation-only circles, not public markets. Each episode brings a commercial real estate lens to capital deployment, business partnerships, and alternative investments.
Topics covered: commercial real estate investing · industrial real estate · syndications · passive investing · oil & gas · alternative assets · business acquisitions · capital partnerships · entrepreneurship · wealth building · family office strategies · market risk · reshoring trends

Unlocking Opportunity Zones: Impact Investing with John Vachon
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Carson Jones sits down with John Vachon. Whether you’re a high-net-worth individual eyeing tax optimization or an entrepreneur passionate about equitable growth, this conversation equips you with actionable insights to unlock your next big move.
On Unlocking Opportunity Zones: Impact Investing with John Vachon, we break down one of the most powerful tools in a passive investor’s playbook: the tax advantages of Opportunity Zones.
If you’ve recently sold stocks, real estate, crypto, or a business—any appreciated asset—you may be staring at a large capital gains tax bill. Opportunity Zones can turn that liability into an engine for long-term wealth creation.
Here’s how:
- Tax Reduction – Hold your OZ investment for 5+ years and unlock up to a 10% step-up in basis on your deferred gain.
- Tax Elimination – After 10 years, all appreciation inside the OZ investment can be 100% tax-free—a permanent exclusion from capital gains.
To make this simple and compliant, we spotlight OZPros.com, one of the nation’s leading Opportunity Zone advisory firms. Founded by OZ pioneer Ashley Tison and guided by strategists like John Vachon, OZPros has become the “OZ Sherpa,” helping investors navigate the complexities with clarity and confidence.
Whether you’re an individual facing a single liquidity event or a fund manager building a diversified OZ portfolio, this episode shows you how to defer, reduce, and eliminate taxes—while investing in real assets that revitalize communities. The property discussed in this podcast is officially listed with NAI Koella RM Moore, Justin Sterling Senior Advisor 865.236.1610
