Welcome to another exciting episode of Boss Uncaged Podcast! In today’s episode, our host S. A. Grant sits down with the remarkable Vernon J. Beckford, CEO of Diversified Lending Solutions. Vernon shares his journey from studying political science at Columbia University to becoming a powerhouse in real estate financing. We'll delve into Vernon's personal milestones, such as his memorable wedding and honeymoon in South Africa, and his pivot from corporate business acquisitions to the influential world of real estate.


Listen in as Vernon reflects on the importance of documenting achievements for future generations and shares his love for sailing, a passion he and S.A. Grant both enjoy despite their families' disinterest. We’ll also explore his insightful advice for entrepreneurs considering commercial real estate investments and his unique "3x growth process" for securing financing deals.


Discover how Vernon and his partner, Eric, balance their longstanding business relationship, and the creative ventures Vernon has pursued to ensure his daughter sees herself represented in media – including an animated series featuring a black girl with a brown Santa Claus. This episode is packed with wisdom on incremental progress in business, the significance of team-building in real estate, and the critical importance of financial literacy for children. Vernon’s journey is not just about building a career; it’s about leaving a legacy.
