Eddie Esparza is a real estate investor and the co-founder/CIO of Diversified Equity Partners, where he helps professionals achieve financial freedom through real estate investments. His journey into real estate began at a young age, as he was born into it. His father had a property portfolio, and Eddie and his brother started by working in demolition, which led to them assisting with renovations and managing contractors.
Over time, Eddie became more involved in managing investments and understanding real estate dynamics, particularly in Chicago. His early goal was to steadily build a property portfolio. However, the pandemic caused a shift in his career. After being laid off during the crisis, Eddie realized he could apply the same dedication he had in his professional career to real estate. This led him to pivot into owning not just properties but a real estate business.
Determined to grow, Eddie joined a multifamily commercial real estate mastermind and has been focused on that path ever since, embracing challenges as opportunities.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
