Nicolas Sfeir: Built Different — From $300 to a $250M Raiders Stadium Deal

Born in a hospital bunker during the Lebanese Civil War, Nicolas Sfeir arrived in the U.S. with two suitcases, $300, and a dream.

Today, he’s the owner of EEF Custom Homes, a father of four, and a graduate of ChoiceCenter’s LV159 EQ Leadership training who has scaled companies from $23M to $72M and won the $250M mechanical contract for the Raiders Stadium in Las Vegas. But none of that defines him like his emotional intelligence does.

In this powerful episode of EQ U, Nicolas shares:

• How he immigrated to the U.S. and found purpose through construction

• The inside story of how he used enrolling and vision to beat competitors and win the Raiders Stadium bid

• Why his EQ training helped him become the kind of father and husband he always wanted to be

• How he scaled two companies and bought his dream business at age 46

• What the Samurai Game, Journey Within, and Men's Retreat gave him that business school never did

• His biggest coaching moment: “Would you want your daughter to marry someone like you?”

Plus, Nicolas leaves listeners with an EQ Stretch Challenge inspired by his time as a Boy Scout—and a heartfelt message to his children that will stay with you long after the episode ends.

🎧 Listen now and be reminded: You’re never too old, too late, or too far behind to build your dream. You just have to be present—and put in the work.
