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.
