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

🎙️The Self-Storage Advantage.
Christy Brock and Margot Kennedy break down one of the most recession-resistant plays in commercial real estate: Self-Storage.
Storage is one of the most consistently profitable and recession-resistant asset classes in commercial real estate: self-storage.
We dive into how self-storage delivers immediate cash flow for partners, along with seller-friendly buyout structures that allow owners to unlock most of their equity, reduce capital gains exposure, and still retain upside on the back end.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why over 11% of U.S. households rely on self-storage — and why demand keeps rising
- How low management intensity + controllable expenses create stable performance
- The role of automation, dynamic pricing, and ancillary revenue in driving returns
- Why simple maintenance and fewer surprises make storage a powerful diversification tool
- How creative deal structures can benefit both investors and longtime owners
If you want to understand why self-storage continues to win in both boom cycles and downturns, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
