About this episode
Samuel Sells, a retired U.S. Air Force and combat veteran, he founded Wild Mountain in 2018 after traveling the globe as an International Health Specialist. Seeing poverty and a lack of safe housing fueled Sam to create a company set to change 1 million lives. Wild Mountain Capital works to change people's lives by transforming neglected and distressed workforce and “affordable” housing into healthy, well-governed communities that are clean and safe. Sam and his team see opportunity where responsibility has been abdicated by property owners or investment capital. To Sam, this is a health initiative that operates in a capitalistic paradigm.
