What does it really take to lead, whether in business, in life, or in the boardroom?

In this episode of The Color of Money, we sit down with Dwight Stephenson, Principal at Blue Vista Capital Management, to explore the mindset behind long-term success in commercial real estate. From growing up in a real estate family to overseeing billions in transactions, Dwight shares how intentional goal setting, structured relationship-building, and a strong family foundation shaped his approach to leadership and investing.

He also opens up about what it means to lead as an “uber minority” in private equity, the importance of introspection, and why his new nonprofit—the Agage Program—is focused on empowering the next generation of diverse rainmakers in real estate.

This is an episode about clarity, discipline, and aligning with the right people, on purpose.
