Episode Synopsis

In episode #10 of Tahoe Minds, Duane Andrews, the Co-Founder and CEO of Clear Capital joins me to discuss his career in real estate technology. After starting REOnetwork.com and attending USC Marshall, he built and grew Clear Capital into a 9-figure revenue business in his 20 years as CEO.
We discuss business strategy in the real estate industry, finding large opportunity in saturated markets, risk tolerance and preparing for black swan events like 2008, acquiring businesses versus releasing competitive products, how to hire a great team, and much more. My favorite part is discussing unfair advantage and Duane's strategy to maintain market control. Duane is also a big car guy, and has a 10 car collection so we discuss our shared passion at the end of the episode.
