Eric Cline


Think Realty Podcast #351 – From Drugs to Deals: The Eric Cline Story
From crackhead to business coach — Eric Cline is living proof that rock bottom can be the foundation for a multi-million-dollar empire. Now 15 years clean and sober, he’s closed over $200 million in sales — all over the phone —and built an empire fueled by grit, hardwork, and unmatched energy. His first company was valued at $147 million, and he was headed for a 9-figure exit... until a lawsuit in 2019 derailed the deal. But Eric didn’t let the setback define him. After resolving the lawsuit, he pivoted into wholesale real estate. In his first year, he generated $2.6 million in revenue. Within three years, he had earned $8.6 million in assignment fees, consistently maintaining 50%+ profit margins. In 2024, he successfully exited the operation. Today, Eric is at the forefront of one of the fastest-growing movements in real estate sales and personal development. He’s built and led high-performing sales teams of over 150 people, personally mentored more than 1,000 students, and taken the stage alongside top industry leaders at events with audiences exceeding 30,000. He’s also the unapologetic host of the "REFUSE TO LOSE" Podcast — where mindset meets momentum. Eric doesn’t just talk about closing deals — he lives it, breathes it, and teaches others to do it better and faster than ever.
