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

This week, I sat down with Thomas Brachey, PMP, founder of Key Real Estate Consulting and one of the sharpest minds in tax-advantaged real estate. Thomas specializes in 1031 exchanges, mineral-rights strategies, and the overlooked investment structures most people never hear about.
Recognized as a 2025 Top Agent by BestAgents.US, Thomas blends deep technical training (PMP + Six Sigma Master Black Belt) with real-world execution. He's also the author of Basics of the 1031 Exchange and Leveraging Mineral Rights and the 1031 Exchange, two guides that simplify complex strategies for everyday investors.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to structure 1031 exchanges for long-term tax deferral and cash flow
- Why mineral rights are becoming a lucrative alternative asset class
- How retirement accounts (SDIRAs, Solo 401(k)s, etc.) tie into real estate and minerals
- Common mistakes and red flags and how to avoid them
A must-listen for investors exploring smarter, tax-efficient ways to scale.
Are you aware of the tax and cash-flow advantages a 1031 exchange can unlock when mineral rights are involved?
