Morgan Keim, Founder of Ocean Ridge Capital, knows firsthand what it means to chase success at the cost of balance. After raising over $400M for food-tech startups, Morgan realized the constant flights, pressure, and uncertainty weren’t sustainable. His pivot into affordable multifamily housing became a turning point—not just for his finances, but for his family and future.   In this episode, Morgan shares his journey from the high-risk startup world to building stable, recession-resilient real estate portfolios. You’ll hear how he went from a curious limited partner to running his own private equity firm, revitalizing 20+ properties since 2020.   We dig into: 👉🏻 How real estate became the “other side” of his barbell strategy 👉🏻 The wake-up call that shifted his priorities from income to ownership 👉🏻 Why overlooked affordable markets like Cleveland can outperform hot metros 👉🏻 Practical nuggets new investors can use to take imperfect action today   This conversation is a reminder that wealth isn’t just about chasing headlines—it’s about creating stability, freedom, and lasting impact. If you’ve ever wondered whether your ladder is leaning against the right wall, Morgan’s story will inspire you to realign and start building wealth beyond the startup hustle.     --   TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 Introduction & Guest Welcome 00:01:20 Morgan’s Background in Startups 00:03:00 First Steps into Real Estate Investing 00:05:10 Becoming an LP and Early Lessons 00:07:00 Vinney’s Positivity and Book Insights 00:08:20 Transition from LP to GP 00:09:40 Balancing Startups, Travel, and Family 00:11:30 Realization: Redefining Priorities and Success 00:13:00 Market Shifts and Opportunities in Multifamily 00:15:00 Investing in Affordable Markets like Cleveland 00:16:20 Nuggets for New Investors 00:17:40 Mentorship, Mindset, and Positive Attitude 00:18:50 Aligning Investment Goals with Personal Vision 00:19:30 Favorite Books & Lessons on Leverage 00:20:30 How to Connect with Morgan 00:21:00 Closing Thoughts & Farewell   --- Check out the FULL episode wherever you like to listen or watch podcasts!
