Firefighter. Cornell grad. Serial entrepreneur. Real estate investor. Risk-taker.

Keith Saffles has lived several lives in one — and each chapter has required bold decisions, deep resilience, and a willingness to start over.

In this episode of Caller ID, we dive into Keith’s journey through public service, entrepreneurship, and real estate, exploring what drives someone to repeatedly step into uncertainty and build from scratch. We talk about fear, faith, failure, timing, and the internal compass that guides big life decisions.

If you’ve ever wrestled with risk, reinvention, or the tension between security and calling, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
