We’re thrilled to highlight Ross McArthur, Co-Founder of Follow The Deal, in his recent guest appearance on the Know Your Why podcast, hosted by Dr. Jason Balara. The episode, titled “From Software Executive to Real Estate Tycoon: Achieving $40M in 3 Years with Ross McArthur,” dives deep into the journey of transformation, grit, and purpose.
In this inspiring conversation, Ross shares how he walked away from a high-powered software career to pursue his vision of financial freedom through real estate investing. Since launching into real estate in 2020, Ross has built a $40 million portfolio, co-founded a rapidly growing investment group, and leads a house-flipping business that completes 30 flips annually.
But this episode goes far beyond numbers.
Ross opens up about the mindset shifts that made his transition possible, the obstacles he’s faced (like unreliable contractors and property surprises), and how he stays grounded through it all. He reflects on the deeper “why” that fuels his ambition: providing for his family, achieving autonomy, and helping others do the same. He also shares how a daily morning run has become a mental reset that clears his mind and sparks creativity—proving that entrepreneurship is just as much about mental fitness as it is about strategy.
Whether you’re a corporate professional searching for your next chapter or an investor in the making, this episode delivers practical wisdom, raw honesty, and inspiration to help you take the next step.
