Description

Kevin Cawley launched his career as a union carpenter straight out of high school at just 18 years old. After over a decade in the trades—and a fortunate series of events—CostSegKev was born.

His very first client? Neil Gerber of Gerber Collision & Glass. Since then, Kevin has made it his mission to help business owners dramatically reduce their income tax liability and boost cash flow—freeing up capital to reinvest, expand operations, acquire new properties, or pay down debt.

For the past ten years, Kevin has been known for one thing: improving the economics of commercial real estate through powerful tax strategies.

In short, Kevin Cawley is a good guy to know in commercial real estate. Plain and simple.

In this episode, Philip and Kevin Cawley discuss: 

• Lead with value in every connection
• Optimize time for what matters most
• Own mistakes to build integrity
• Stay curious and adaptable

Lightbulb Moments:

• In professional networking, take the initiative to offer something useful early on. This establishes trust, opens doors, and sets the tone for a reciprocal relationship.
• Efficiency isn't just about productivity—it’s about freeing up time for what truly matters. Streamline work to make space for family, rest, and meaning.
• Admitting fault is a rare and respected strength. It strengthens relationships and marks the character of a trustworthy leader.
• Embrace mentorship, remain teachable, and pivot when needed. Lifelong learning is a competitive edge—and a defense against stagnation.
