The Pivot: From Meal Prep to Waterfront Homes | Marc Elkman, Empire Development
Wednesday, 11 February, 2026

Marc Elkman grew up in Fort Lauderdale with a competitive blueprint from his mother, a pro athlete who shaped his discipline early. After bootstrapping a meal plan business to the Inc. 500 and $18M in sales, he pivoted into luxury waterfront development and now leads Empire Development with more than $100M in active projects. In this episode, Marc shares the real lessons behind fast growth, hard logistics, why community banks matter, and why “health is wealth” is not just a quote.
