After going through a divorce in 2014, I found myself in the position of working paycheck-to-paycheck with little to spare at the end of each month. As a single mom, I wanted financial security for my child, so I set out to make the right connections to learn how to flip homes in California. Although I had early success, legal expenses from the divorce were extracting all the profits I was making, but I was determined to build wealth and a legacy for my family. When my daughter moved to Louisiana for college, I relocated to Jackson, MS so I could be closer to her, and that’s where I started my real estate investment career in earnest. Discouraged by a few set-backs that would leave me nearly homeless, within a month I closed on my first home and had $500 left to my name. In 2018, I founded “WIT (Whatever It Takes) Property Finders” and finally accomplished my goal of building my wealth and legacy. From those humble beginnings, I now own four multi-family complexes and over 60 rentals and commercial properties. In the last four years I have executed over 1,000 transactions such as traditional and non-traditional flips, buy and holds, notes, wraps, partials and wholesaling properties such as single-family residences, multi-family properties, storage units, mobile home parks, and retail and commercial buildings. I have also retained over $72 million from the field. Currently, I am writing a book that will release in August 2019. Most recently, I have completed my very first box product! I built this empire by doing WIT - Whatever It Takes!

I’m a digital strategist. I’ve spent the past 20 years working in the digital strategy industry. While I began my career in website design, my passion has always been to help businesses expand their reach through web-based strategic thinking. I believe there’s no such thing as one size fits all, when it comes to managing your business. Throughout my career I’ve worked in several capacities across many verticals including digital marketing, usability, social media, and web analytics. This unique experience mix allowed me to connect the dots between industries and create customized strategies that work for individual organizations. I began my career as a Web Technology Analyst for a local bank in Michigan. After completing college, I moved to North Carolina and began working with a digital marketing company. It was during this position that I cultivated my love for small and medium businesses. By 2008, I’d found my calling in digital analytics and have worked every day since, to bridge the gap between technology and marketing; translating the foreign language that often confuses businesses and throws them off course.

In 2018, Alec Lace, father of four, became distraught over the decline of fatherhood in America. A railroad mechanic by trade and a part-time Uber driver, Alec launched a podcast named First Class Fatherhood, with a vision to change the narrative of what true fatherhood means. His goal was to give dads an opportunity to encourage others by sharing the experiences and wisdom they’ve gained during their respective journeys. The show quickly became one of the top parenting podcasts (over 3 million downloads) thanks to interviews with hundreds of the most recognized fathers in the world from professional sports, media, Hollywood celebrities, politics, the military, and business leaders. Alec has interviewed more than 600 notable guests about core fatherhood topics, such as discipline, education, dating, self-care, finances, faith, and service. A partial list of contributors includes: Pro Sports - Tom Brady, Tony Hawk, Dana White, Kurt Warner, Deion Sanders, Mario Andretti, Mike Piazza, Buster Douglas Hollywood Actors - Matthew McConaughey, Danny Trejo, Dean Cain, Brian Austin Green, Josh Peck, John Cho, Jason Alexander Comedians - Steve Harvey, Adam Carolla, Jim Breuer, Howie Mandel, Joel McHale Military Heroes - Jocko Willink, Tim Kennedy, Marcus Luttrell, Dakota Meyer, Rob O'Neill, Mike Durant Music - Donny Osmond, Nick Carter, Logic, Rotimi, AJ McLean, Mark McGrath “Being a father is the most important role a man can play in life,” says Alec. “It is my hope is that First Class Fatherhood, with so much advice from successful fathers— will help change the narrative of fatherhood and family life, and greatly reduce the number of children growing up without a father in the home.” In addition to advice from his guests, Alec also shares his own thoughts and tips on being a “Fatherhood Ambassador” to encourage men in their fatherhood journeys. Alec Lace is the creator and host of the popular podcast First Class Fatherhood, created in 2018 with a vision to change the narrative of fatherhood and family life.
