In a special Father’s Day episode of the New Dad Order Podcast, hosts Ray and Parfait welcome their longtime friend and first guest, Jason Lipscomb, a local real estate mogul and entrepreneur from Ponchatoula, Louisiana. Jason’s inspiring journey from dealing cards at poker tables to becoming a top-producing real estate broker, investor, and restaurateur highlights the power of hustle, motivation, and family values.Jason first stepped into the poker world as a dealer after realizing he wasn’t a great player. What started in small card rooms soon led him to run some of the biggest tournaments, including the World Series of Poker and high-stakes games across the country. His poker career taught him discipline, people skills, and the ability to thrive under pressure — qualities that later fueled his success in real estate.When the casino industry shifted and Jason became a new father, he transitioned into real estate sales. What began as a way to control his own investments quickly grew into a thriving career. Jason built one of Louisiana’s leading real estate teams, closing over $60 million in transactions annually, and later launched his own brokerage, Downtown Realty, right in the heart of Ponchatoula. By focusing on listings, smart delegation, and strong local relationships, Jason created a scalable model that allowed him to become one of the area’s most respected brokers.Jason’s entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t stop at real estate. He has invested in commercial properties, restaurants, and community projects, helping preserve the small-town charm of downtown Ponchatoula while driving local growth. His philosophy is simple: shop local, support local, and reinvest in the community that raised you. This commitment has made him a cornerstone of the region’s business landscape.Beyond business, Jason is a dedicated father of five, including bonus children. He emphasizes leading by example, teaching his kids the value of hard work, balance, and resilience. From supporting his son’s journey to LSU Law School, to encouraging his daughter’s entrepreneurial dream of opening a bakery, to backing his youngest son’s athletic pursuits, Jason blends fatherhood with mentorship. He openly shares lessons on work-life balance, acknowledging the sacrifices of his early hustle years while celebrating the ability to now be more present for his family.Jason’s story is also about embracing change and seizing opportunity. Whether transitioning from poker to real estate, or expanding into restaurants and investments, he demonstrates how adaptability, grit, and vision can create generational impact. His hobbies — from pickleball and boating to traveling with family — underscore the importance of enjoying the fruits of hard work while continuing to build for the future.This episode offers powerful insights for fathers, entrepreneurs, and anyone chasing success: embrace risk, delegate wisely, invest in your community, and never stop learning. Jason Lipscomb’s journey proves that with focus and heart, you can go from poker dealer to real estate broker and beyond — building not just a business, but a legacy.📩 Reach Out:Jerrard:📧 Email: jmparfait@gmail.com📱 Instagram: @itsparfaitRay:📧 Email: rbelvin91@gmail.com💤 Sleep & Recovery:Melatonin-Free Sleep & Recovery for Peak Fitness👉 Hit this link and use promo code: NDOZZZ🔗 https://thirdzy.com/⚡ Energy Boost:Need a new energy drink?
