In this powerful episode of Wealth Made Simple, Karlton Dennis sits down with real estate developer and entrepreneur Eric Crutchfield, whose journey from prison to building an eight-figure development business is nothing short of remarkable. Eric opens up about his past, including serving seven years of a 10-year prison sentence for manslaughter, and how a single Tony Robbins book sparked a total transformation. His story is one of redemption, personal growth, and the relentless pursuit of a better life through real estate.

Eric shares how he transitioned from flipping homes to spearheading multi-million dollar development projects, and the discipline it took to reinvest every dollar of his first $53,000 profit instead of spending it. The conversation dives deep into the mechanics of real estate development, risk-taking, delayed gratification, and the mindset required to go from rock bottom to building generational wealth. He also explains how he structures deals, raises capital, and mentors others—many of whom come from similarly difficult pasts.

More than a story about business, this episode is about resilience, purpose, and the power of vision. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to scale, Eric's journey will inspire you to bet on yourself, stay disciplined, and create your own opportunities. Don’t miss this candid and motivating conversation packed with real-world advice and entrepreneurial wisdom.
