This Week's Outlaw Entrepreneur - Michael Wimberly

Yo, what's good? I'm Clay Edwards, and whether you're a longtime listener of The Clay Edwards Show or just tuning in, welcome to my brand-new project, Heavy Hitters—a show all about outlaw entrepreneurs, those hustlers who carve their own path to live life on their terms. What's an outlaw entrepreneur? Man, it’s hard to pin down, but you know one when you see one—folks who hustle hard, whether they’re running their own business or killing it in sales like real estate or car deals, building a life they love without punching someone else’s clock. For the next 6-8 weeks, I’m sitting down with business owners who’ve got their name on the checks, starting with my boy Michael Wimberly, a real estate broker with Insight Group and the owner of the legendary McB’s Bar & Grill. Michael’s a mentor, a partner, and a guy who’s been through the grind—losing it all, starting over, and coming out on top with grit and hustle. He’s flipped the real estate game with a flat-fee model that lets his experienced agents keep more of their cash, and he’s poured his heart into McB’s, turning it from a dive bar into a community staple where folks bring old T-shirts and relive memories. From real estate to running a bar, Michael’s story is about investing in people, taking risks, and learning that running a restaurant is like chasing 1,000 marbles on a truck hood—tough as hell but worth it for the community you build. Tune in as we talk hustle, heartbreak, and how to keep swinging no matter what.
