Jeremiah Dalton: The Power of Personal Change to Transform Life & Business

In this special episode of the Collective Genius Live Podcast, I sit down with Jeremiah Dalton just before he steps on stage at our CG Select event in Sarasota. Jeremiah, a high-end fix-and-flip investor from Long Island, opens up about his powerful journey of personal and professional growth—from navigating a crisis in 2022 to transforming himself physically and mentally, and becoming a more effective leader and marketer.

 

We discuss his early days joining Collective Genius during the COVID pandemic, the challenges he faced when the market shifted, and how CG helped him develop strategies to buy properties at the right price and build stronger relationships. Jeremiah also previews his impactful main stage presentation about how prioritizing health and self-care unlocked new levels of performance in his life and business.

 

This conversation dives into the mindset shifts that helped him soften his approach, expand his network, and make a meaningful impact on others—including inspiring fellow members to transform their own lives.
