In this candid and wide-ranging episode, Saurabh Jain sits down with Christopher Miller , co-founder of Vantage Strata and founder of Taylr Services , to unpack what it really looks like to build, scale, and evolve businesses over decades - while managing risk, capital, and personal conviction. Christopher shares his unconventional journey into strata management, growing Vantage Strata from zero to more than 14,000 lots under management, and why he ultimately stepped aside from the CEO role. The conversation centres on Taylr Services, a separate venture born from a long-held belief that strata communities represent untapped micro-economies - and why solving this problem is far harder, slower, and more capital-intensive than it appears.
