Susan Miller Gruppi and Jessica Miller Essl: M2G Ventures
In this candid episode of Stories with Soul, Jamey sits down with twin powerhouses Susan Miller Gruppi and Jessica Miller Essl, co-founders of M2G Ventures. Since founding their Fort Worth-based real estate investment firm in 2014, they've grown into an unstoppable force with $1.5 billion in investments and advisory services.
From their early days of "playing business" in Longview, Texas, to transforming Fort Worth's urban landscape through projects like Mule Alley and the Foundry District, the sisters share their remarkable journey of entrepreneurship, innovation, and resilience. Their story goes beyond real estate success - they openly discuss their deeply personal connection to mental health advocacy and how they've raised over $1 million for research through their M2G Mental Health Initiative.
The conversation dives deep into the unique dynamics of being twin entrepreneurs, the challenges of scaling from a two-person startup to a 40-person powerhouse, and the intentional work required to maintain both a successful business partnership and a close sibling relationship. Susan and Jessica offer invaluable insights about leadership, growth, and the importance of taking care of yourself while building something meaningful.
