In this episode of Al Mega Podcast, host Al Mega interviews Edwin Carrion, a Marine, entrepreneur, mentor, coach, and God-made millionaire. Garrion is originally from somewhere else, and he talks about taking advantage of the American dream. He emphasizes that no one is truly self-made, and that success is only possible with the help of mentors and God. Garrion shares his story of how he achieved success, and provides valuable insights into perseverance, determination, and goal-reaching.
The speaker began by clarifying that their entrepreneurial journey began at 15 years old. At that age, a friend offered them a DJing job at a party for $200 for 4 hours, which was a lot of money for a 15 year old. As a result, they started a DJ business at that age, which they kept up until they were 19. At 19, the speaker changed lanes and started something else.
The speaker joined the Marines at the age of 19 and served four and a half years. After leaving the Marines, he was able to take advantage of the rising real estate market and eventually made millions. However, due to inexperience he lost it all and went bankrupt at the age of 27. This was a huge blessing for him because it made him realize that money was not the key to happiness and he needed to focus on fulfilling his life. He was able to pick himself up within a few months and realized the importance of being humble and giving credit to others.
Edwin is an entrepreneur who believes in constantly improving and learning. He had success without a mentor or training. After the market crashed in 2007, he and a friend started a gold buying business which grew into a franchise model with 14 stores in the US and was making millions a month. In 2014, he retired at 31. However, he soon wanted to do something else and started building multimillion dollar mansions to fulfill people’s American dream. He loves this business because it has a purpose.
Join Edwin’s Startup to Millions Facebook group A community where they improve, learn and grow by sharing their experiences and creating value for everyone. A community with High Moral , Values, and faith, that want to help each other succed and live life to the fullest.

Interview with Edwin Lopez: Empowering Entrepreneurs with Inner Circle and His Third Book
Highlights
Not on that group. But I do have an Inner Circle that is by invitation only. We have an inner circle. We have an online program which we do group coaching. It’s called Start Up to Millions 365, because it’s a whole year program that they only cost you a dollar a day. So if you’re able to invest one dollars in yourself so you could improve, so you could know the right steps, get the guide, and it’s also for those that do not know what kind of business to start, I have two types of businesses in there that it teaches you how to make money. How can you get your $365 return on investment right away?
Yes, again, I’m huge in real estate because I’m a real estate developer. I’ve been doing real estate development for only 22 years now, but I became an expert in business, and I became an expert in business scaling. So one of the things that I wanted to give back was I created a Facebook group, which is called a startup to Millions for anybody that wants to start a business, anybody that’s starting a business.. You become part of this community of entrepreneurs where you could ask questions, you get answers to your questions, and you get some teaching from me, you get some guides from me on what are the steps that you need in order to start a business and take that business to the millions.
But the question you have to ask yourself is, do you need to have the money to start the business that you want to? And that’s the most important thing, right? A lot of people get stuck, and they don’t do what they want to do in life because they get stuck. Oh, I need to have the money to start a business. No, you don’t need to have the money to start the business. The business needs the money to be started.
Does it fit within your guidelines and your criteria? So, to me, for example, a good deal could be 10% return on investment. So anything that I find that it gives me 10% return on investment, it’s a good deal. Okay, but maybe for you, it’s not good enough. 10% return on investment. So I could give you the most safe, secure deal in life or investment in life that is going to give you 10%. But if your risk tolerance and is not fixed for that 10%, then you’re not going to go with it, right?
Somebody’s going to listen to this that doesn’t believe in themselves, and they’re going to understand, wow, Edwin, that comes when all ads were against him. Look where he’s at right now. I just have to believe in myself and I could be successful like him because I grew up better than him. I’m very fortunate enough to be married and just celebrating my twelve year anniversary and growing up without a father raised by a single mom.. Those ads are huge of me being divorced by now. And it’s all those things, all those negative beliefs that a lot of people have. It’s just kind of leaving the legacy behind of letting them know, hey, you can change your life. And maybe somebody doesn’t hear this now, but maybe somebody hears this podcast ten years from now. And if I’m able to change their life ten years from now, that’s amazing.
