あらすじ・解説
In this episode of the Collective Genius Podcast, I sit down with longtime CG member and fellow leadership team member, Marck de Latour. Marck shares his inspiring journey from growing up in New Zealand to building a thriving real estate business in Kansas City. We unpack how he transitioned from a tennis scholarship student to a full-time investor, and the pivotal moments that shaped his career. What makes Marck’s story so compelling isn’t just the scale of his operation—it’s the strategic mindset behind it. We get into what it really takes to go from solopreneur to CEO, how to build a team rooted in culture and accountability, and why investing in people is the true unlock for long-term success. If you’re navigating the early stages of real estate or trying to scale your business while preserving your sanity, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Your Spouse is Your First Business Partner Aligning with your spouse or partner financially and emotionally is non-negotiable when building a business that impacts your family. Culture Over Everything Building a great team starts with shared values. A strong culture can outperform talent alone—and Book Club is one way Marck nurtures that. Get Out of the Way to Scale Visionaries need integrators. Marck didn’t find balance or scalability until he hired a true operations leader to run the day-to-day. Community Is a Cheat Code Collective Genius gave Marck the tools, strategies, and peer accountability he needed to evolve from investor to CEO—and it continues to be his sounding board through every stage of growth.
