Ep 17 | Entrepreneurship As A Tool For Personal Transformation For Property Managers with Tony Cline
What do 200-mile races and property management have in common? More than you'd think.

From his journey from serious illness to becoming an ultra endurance athlete to building a successful property management business, Tony shares his approach to change and growth.
The conversation dives into the importance of vulnerability, surrounding oneself with the right people, and the strategic shift from being an entrepreneur to becoming a business owner. Tony also highlights his unique approach to event marketing and community building, emphasizing the significance of shared missions and personal passions in driving business success.
A must-listen for anyone looking to break new ground in their personal and professional life.
You'll learn:
🎯 Why most property managers are stuck in a job they can’t quit—and how to escape that trap.
🧠 The invisible first step to scaling: rewriting the mental movie you're living in.
🛠️ The 3 inflection points that separate hustlers from true business owners.
❤️ Why core values aren’t a poster—they’re your team’s decision-making compass.
👥 Why your “real client” becomes your team, not your owners.
💡 Why vulnerability is the secret weapon for building real community and culture.
🧗♂️ How transformational events (like hiking rim-to-rim through the Grand Canyon) foster the connections that grow great companies.
And of course, Tony and Pablo dive into what AI means for the next era of property management—and why the winners won’t be the ones with the biggest portfolios, but the ones who remove themselves from day-to-day operations fastest.
“Most people build a business without ever asking what they want out of it. If you don’t write the movie, you can’t play the lead.”
🎧 Tune in now for a frame-breaking conversation about mindset, mentorship, scaling, and building a business you love.
