The Industrial Real Estate Podcast

I had a fantastic time talking about commercial real estate technology with Michael Beckerman, CEO of CREtech.  Michael is on the leading edge of technology and how it can be integrated into the commercial real estate industry.  Michael also addresses the often asked question: will technology displace commercial real estate professionals?

I had the pleasure of interviewing Nick Pryce, Director - Planning Group for V3 Companies. We chatted about how complex municipal planning can be and why it's needed in the first place.  I am often critical of government for having too much red tape, but planning is one of those cases where a lot of important work happens behind the scenes.  And for anyone involved in development, or real estate in general, being able to navigate these complexities is an absolute necessity.
