The McDonald’s Worker Who Built an $8M Real Estate Empire | Derek Boone E299

Most people scroll through social media for entertainment. Derek Boone used it to build an empire. In this episode, we sit down with Derek Boone — a Philly-based investor who went from flipping burgers at McDonald’s to owning an $8 million dollar real estate portfolio. He shares how he spent his lunch breaks reading books, binging real estate podcasts, and visualizing a bigger life. That hunger led him to become an agent, then a team leader, then a wholesaler, and eventually a full-time investor. We unpack the mindset shifts that fueled his journey, how he turned frustration into fuel, and the exact social media strategies he used to build deal flow, create a personal brand, and also launch a paid education platform. From rental properties to event spaces, Derek now has multiple income streams and a clear vision for development and generational wealth. If you're looking for proof that you can build real wealth from the ground up without any hand outs — this episode is it.
