A proposito di questo titolo

 This podcast is about having the guts to do what terrifies you... on purpose. It’s for people chasing their calling, even if it means tripping over a few obstacles (or faceplanting into them). Tune in for real stories of real people who dared to follow their own path—even when it was uphill, in the snow, both ways.Sarah Sémajuste Successo personale Sviluppo personale

    Master the world of land development and learn how to scale your real estate portfolio by "flipping the paper" and building high-value projects. In this episode of Scared Shitless, host Sarah sits down with Carina Guzman, founder of the Land Development Academy, to uncover the raw truth about transition from a corporate 9-to-5 to becoming a powerhouse developer.Building a life you love means doing it afraid, and Carina shares her journey as an immigrant escaping war in El Salvador to navigating the complex regulations of the Canadian real estate market. We dive deep into modular construction challenges, the importance of deal structuring, and why your "exit strategy" is the most critical part of any land development project. Carina explains her "flipping the paper" strategy, securing permits and entitlements to add massive value to raw land before selling to builders and why this niche is the ultimate wealth-builder for those willing to learn the foundations.Whether you are a seasoned investor or a curious beginner, this conversation covers the importance of networking with high-caliber individuals, managing the stress of multiple mortgages, and leading a team with a sense of urgency. Carina doesn’t sugarcoat the failures; she treats every "landmine" as a lesson.
