    The $13M Impact: How Three Bulls Capital Revives Dying Towns ft. Michael Liss

    Episode SummaryMost investors chase the next hot market. Michael Liss went the other direction — into forgotten Southern mill towns that globalization left behind. On this episode of Wayfinder, Michael breaks down how Three Bulls Capital turned overlooked workforce housing into a repeatable model for community revitalization, complete with the receipts to prove it: $13 million in economic output and 61 jobs created in a single market in just one year. Brady and Michael dig into why housing — not incentives, not tax breaks — is the real lever cities need to pull to attract jobs and rebuild quality of life. They trace Michael's own path from corporate banker trained to avoid risk, to entrepreneur who had to confront fear head-on during a COVID-era quarantine in Shanghai. Along the way, Michael shares the leadership lesson, the book, and the partnership philosophy that shaped how he builds trust — and why the biggest capital shift in 30 years (the US-China trade decoupling) is about to make small-town American real estate one of the most important asset classes of the decade. What You'll LearnWhy housing — not factories or incentives — is the real foundation of community revitalizationHow density and homeownership momentum create the conditions for local economies to recoverThe economic impact study behind the $13M output, 61 jobs number — and what it provesWhy legislation aimed at institutional home-buying actually carved out an exception for what Three Bulls doesHow the US-China trade decoupling is driving manufacturing jobs back into second- and third-tier Southern townsMichael's "f**k fear, go forward" moment that pushed him out of corporate bankingThe Triple D Rule for vetting partners: no douchebags, no dickheads, no divasWhy Michael sees his real product as a service to municipalities, not just real estate returnsNotable Quotes"If towns want to revitalize, they want to create the momentum — you have to fix the housing." "The one thing that was stopping me from doing the thing that I wanted to do the most was fear." "We put on our running shoes and run around through the neighborhoods. We drive the neighborhoods at 2am so we can see where the problems are." "We realized we are delivering a service to municipalities."
