S2.6 Meg Epstein: Bringing the best of CA to Music City

Climbing the Charts with Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller

Climbing the Charts sat down with Meg Epstein, Founder and CEO of CA South. Meg launched CA South in January 2016, and despite being just 7 years old now, CA South has over a billion dollars in projects and related real estate assets under its belt, notching a place as one of the leading real estate businesses in Music City.

Meg has garnered numerous accolades along the way, including being a NBJ “CEO of the Year” winner in 2022, and the Entrepreneur Center’s Entrepreneur of 2022. Award Category. Meg is one of a new generation of women real estate developers in Nashville shaping the city’s skyline and helping write its next chapter.

During our conversation with Meg, we learn about her early years on the West Coast (as a clever listener might surmise, Meg moved to Nashville from California, ergo, CA South), her work as a project manager for Orion & Finton Group, and how she came to found CA South, as well as become the managing member of a private equity fund affiliated with it. Meg explains her commitment to non-profit work, the importance of family, and what has driven her to reach such high levels at a relatively young age. Meg also weighs in about recent events and politics in the city, including the upcoming Mayor’s race, and shares what keeps her inspired each and every day.

We promise you will learn some very interesting things in this inviting conversation, as well as hear Meg’s advice to entrepreneurs and especially those who want to make a name for themselves in real estate!
