Commercially Speaking Podcast- Commercial Real Estate Investing That Entertains You Won. Now What? The Money Problems No One Prepares You For | with Garrett Gatton
You built the business.
The money showed up.
And suddenly you’re asking the questions no one warned you about:
Where do I put this money?
How do I make sure it actually lasts?
In this episode of Commercially Speaking, we sit down with Garrett Gatton, founder of Reinvest Capital, to talk about what comes after success.
Garrett works with business owners who’ve already “won” and are now trying to steward capital wisely, buy back time, and build wealth that doesn’t wreck their life or their family.
This conversation dives into:
- Why success often creates more complexity, not less
- The difference between being safe with money and being wise
- Passive real estate investing vs active distraction
- Buying back time instead of stacking more responsibility
- Faith, stewardship, and purpose without sacrificing returns
- Why unmanaged money becomes anxiety with better snacks
- How legacy thinking changes every financial decision
- AI, executive assistants, and scaling your impact without burning out
- The future of housing, including Ohio’s first 3D-printed concrete home
If you’ve ever thought, “I did the hard part… now what?”
This episode is for you.
