What happens when you combine obsession-level passion, high-stakes risk, and an uncompromising standard for quality? You get Brent Villareal.

In this episode of Houston Hustle, Dr. Paige and Dr. Charlie Ward sit down with the mastermind behind Near Mint Plus—a disruptor in the comic world who turned a lifelong passion into one of the largest premium comic retail brands online.

Brent shares his unconventional journey from building custom forged wheels for some of the fastest hypercars on the planet, to pioneering exclusive, high-end comic drops with Marvel artists. We dive into how he scaled rapidly, took massive financial risks, and built a reputation rooted in one thing: quality over everything.

But this isn’t just about comics.

• Betting on yourself when no one understands your vision
• Turning passion into profit without losing integrity
• Handling criticism, competition, and controversy at scale

In this episode of the Houston Hustle, Dr. Paige Ward and Dr. Charlie Ward sit down with Jason Hassenstab of Elevated Development to explore the world of land development and what it takes to build thriving communities in one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.

Jason shares how growing up in a family construction business shaped his work ethic and entrepreneurial mindset. After more than a decade working in infrastructure projects across California and Hawaii, he made the bold decision to move to Texas and start building something of his own.

The conversation dives into the realities of land development, including how projects can take years before a single home is built, the importance of infrastructure and utilities, and the long-term planning required to scale a business in this industry. Jason also discusses the strategy behind Elevated Development’s goal of delivering 1,000 residential lots per year by 2034, while expanding into commercial projects like office condos, daycares, and co-living spaces.

Along the way, he reflects on lessons learned from entrepreneurship, the importance of mentorship and investor communities, and how maintaining strong systems and partnerships allows a small team to operate efficiently at a large scale.

If you are interested in real estate development, entrepreneurship, or the growth of Houston and Texas, this episode offers a fascinating look behind the scenes at how land becomes neighborhoods.
