The Industrial Real Estate Podcast

Artificial Intelligence might seem overwhelming but there's a lot it can do for your business if you're willing to spend some time on it. To help with the learning curve, I was honored to be joined by Mark Duclos, President of Sentry Commercial, to hear how he uses AI daily within various commercial real estate businesses he runs. Here's a quote I firmly believe in right now: "You won't be replaced by AI, you'll be replaced by someone who uses AI."
