Stepping into the aftermath of my father's passing was like entering a battlefield, but little did I know that amidst the chaos, an unexpected twist awaited. As the city council stood against us and the Emberwood project teetered on the edge, we faced rejection, self-doubt, and countless sleepless nights. But just when it seemed like the odds were stacked against us, a glimmer of hope emerged, shattering our expectations and rewriting our destiny. This is a story of resilience, determination, and the remarkable twist that changed everything.
Taking the reins after my father's untimely passing wasn't just a daunting task, it was like stepping into a battlefield. The business was in chaos, and we were in survival mode. The city council wasn't exactly on our side, and the Emberwood project was hanging by a thread. I faced rejection, skepticism, and my own self-doubt. All this while my wife, Alyssa and I were starting our family, with our first baby on the way.
The struggle was real, but so was my resolve. There were countless sleepless nights, calls made, deals struck, and lessons learned. We were shut down, humiliated, but never defeated. Our resilient spirit was our secret weapon, pushing us to prove our worth, and in the end, we did. When the city finally approved our project, it was a sigh of relief; a validation that we were not just good enough, but capable of accomplishing great things. That moment was powerful beyond measure, a turning point in my life that boosted my confidence and reinforced my determination to succeed.,It was like stepping into a storm.
My father's passing left a void both in our lives and the business he had built. Alyssa and I were left holding the pieces, trying to make sense of it while wrestling with our own insecurities and the skepticism from the city council. As we trudged through the Emberwood project, we faced hurdles that seemed too high to scale. We were shut down, had to plead, negotiate, and push beyond our limits to get the city's approval. It was an uphill battle, one that was made even more challenging as we welcomed our first child, Claire. But every storm passes, and ours did too. The day the city approved our project was a monumental victory.
It was a testament to our perseverance and a reminder that we were capable of extraordinary feats.

Growing up, Mike Kaeding was surrounded by hard work, persistence, and his father's unwavering commitment to affordable housing. But little did he know that his journey in the real estate development industry would take an unexpected twist. As he followed in his father's footsteps, Mike discovered a hidden passion and a vision that went beyond just building houses. This is a story of ambition, innovation, and the pursuit of a dream that will leave you wondering: what groundbreaking change did Mike bring to the world of real estate?
Growing up, I was immersed in a world of hard work, persistence, and aspiration. My father, an ardent real estate developer, was a constant source of motivation. His commitment to providing affordable housing for the average blue-collar worker was inspiring, and the seeds of my career were sown in those summer days helping him on site.
As I grew older, my interest in the field deepened. I recognized the potential in the industry, the opportunity to drive real change. The idea of significantly reducing housing costs, of having a profound impact on people’s lives, was appealing. It was this realization that steered me towards the real estate industry, with a vision of solving America's housing affordability crisis and making a meaningful difference in the world. I can still hear the echoes of my father's drive and determination, as he worked relentlessly on his real estate projects. His ethos of providing quality, affordable housing deeply resonated with me.
Those long summer days spent helping him on site were more than just a way to keep a young boy occupied - they were lessons in perseverance, frugality, and ambition. The bug had bitten me. I saw the potential, the need for innovation, and the opportunity to shape a better future. The dream of transforming the real estate industry, of significantly lowering housing costs, and making a tangible difference in the lives of many was born.
This vision has been my guiding light, influencing my every decision and shaping my journey in the real estate world.

Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well. Today, we have a different kind of conversation. I found myself in a debate over my business strategy, specifically our choice to cap our clientele at 40 annually. Currently, we're operating at full capacity, with numbers in the early 30s. This decision was met with criticism for not seizing the opportunity to earn more, sparking a reflection on the balance between professional growth and personal life.
Main Content
Reflecting on my personal life, especially as a father of two rapidly growing children, the discussion took a deeper turn. Time, particularly the years lost to the COVID-19 pandemic, feels like a precious commodity that I'm unwilling to trade for additional profit. This perspective stems not just from personal preference but also from witnessing the consequences of prioritizing wealth over family among peers.
A notable example involves a long-time client and friend, a billionaire thrice divorced with minimal contact with his grown children. His experiences and expressed regrets reinforce my stance on not sacrificing family time for further business expansion. This conversation isn't about disregarding business growth, but about maintaining a balance that doesn't compromise one's relationship with their family.
The conversation also touches upon my ambition to own a part of Liverpool Football Club, a dream adjusted to align with my values on family and time. The aspiration for immense wealth, if it compromises my time with my children, loses its appeal.
Conclusion
This dialogue serves as a reminder of the importance of being present for our families and the necessity to balance our professional ambitions with our personal lives. I encourage everyone to take a moment to appreciate and prioritize their loved ones, ensuring that our pursuits of success do not come at the cost of our most valuable relationships.
Closing Thoughts
I shared these thoughts not only as a reflection of my personal journey but also as a message to others who might find themselves in a similar crossroads. It's a call to value the time we have with our families and to consider the real cost of our ambitions. Let's not wait for life-altering events to appreciate what truly matters.
Action Steps
As we conclude, I urge you to take a moment after this podcast to disconnect from work and connect with your family. Remember, success is not just measured by financial gains but by the richness of our relationships and the memories we create with our loved ones.
