In this Episode of the Owners Club Podcast, I sit down with Jordan Reyes, a California native turned Montana-based real estate investor, whose journey shows the power of saying yes to opportunities. Jordan’s path took him from drilling wells and farming almonds to launching an ag-tech company and ultimately into creative real estate, new construction, and RV parks.

From negotiating seller-financed RV park deals to buying businesses with zero money down, Jordan’s story is packed with lessons on relationships, collaboration, and taking action before you’re ready.
How Jordan pivoted from agriculture and corporate life into real estate investing.
Why saying yes to opportunities opened doors he never expected.
The story of meeting Pace Morby and landing his first RV park deal.

The value of community, mentorship, and surrounding yourself with the right people.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Owners Club Podcast — the show where we open the door to real conversations between real business owners.
I’m your host, Sean Ziari, and whether you’re building your first startup or leading your second (or third) business, this podcast is your home.
In each episode, we dive deep into what really drives growth:
✅ Building the right team
✅ Managing finances strategically
✅ Developing the mindset and strategies that help owners scale and thrive
I’ll sit down with fellow Owners Club members — a community of leaders, visionaries, and builders to talk about what’s working in business today. Together, we explore:
How they got started
The struggles and roadblocks they’ve faced
The moments that almost broke them
And the people who helped them keep going
Because at the end of the day, business isn’t just about numbers… it’s about people, relationships, and the community you choose to build around you.
Starting next week: we’ll launch our “Meet the Owner” series, where I sit down with founders and CEOs to learn how they got started, what’s working in their business right now, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
If you’re here for connection, insight, or just that little push to keep going, you’re in the right place.
So let’s get into the room and let’s meet some of the owners.
