Welcome to Takeaways – Life Lessons Learned!
I started this podcast to share the Takeaways I’ve learned from remarkable people that have come into my life. Then I also started recording Takeaways from real estate events.
The titles with a guest name are me and a guest talking about the Takeaways I’ve learned from them. The titles with NAIOP are the recording from the monthly NAIOP breakfast program about the commercial real estate and development industry.
