From Air Traffic Controller to $80 Million: The Rich Somers Blueprint

Описание: Welcome back to Built to Scale — the show where we sit down with entrepreneurs who didn’t just dream big, they executed bigger.
Today’s guest is someone who embodies pure decisiveness, relentless action, and elite-level scaling.
Rich Somers is an active real estate investor and entrepreneur with a portfolio of apartments and boutique hotels valued at over $80 million. He’s the founder of Somers Capital, one of the fastest-growing boutique hotel investment companies in the game.
But what makes Rich special isn’t just the results — it’s the journey.
He spent 11 years as an air traffic controller, making real-time decisions in one of the highest pressure environments in the world. And then, in less than a year of self-education, he made a move most people would never have the courage to: he cashed out his 401(k) and bought his first properties.
Today he hosts a top 1% business and real estate podcast, The Rich Somers Report, and runs Beers & Deals, the largest real estate networking event in San Diego.
Rich’s message is simple but powerful:
Act quickly. Embrace mistakes. Invest in yourself. Build your community. Stay hungry.

About Built to Scale

I’m Quinn Schilz, founder of Master Roofing and host of Built to Scale. After scaling my company from zero to millions, I created this show to reverse-engineer how real people build 8-figure and even 9-figure businesses—without the fluff. This is about the pain, process, and playbook behind real growth.

If you’re listening, you’re not average—you’re built to scale.
