Success means nothing if you don’t have time for your family.
In this episode, we talk about building real wealth, the kind that buys presence, not just profit.
Ben Nelson shares how he transitioned from producing world-class Red Bull action sports events to building over $100M in multifamily real estate, without sacrificing family, values, or integrity. This conversation goes deep on operator mindset, disciplined execution, community-first investing, and why time freedom is the real metric of success. If you’re building something serious and want it to support your life, not consume it, this episode is for you.
Ben Nelson is a Partner at Wild Oak Capital with over $100 million in multifamily assets under management and more than 1,000 doors acquired. Before real estate, Ben spent nearly two decades producing high-stakes global action sports events for brands like Red Bull, where failure wasn’t an option. Today, he applies that same precision, leadership, and systems thinking to multifamily operations, investor communication, and building communities that last.
