MP3•Episode home

Michael shared that his success in commercial real estate stems from decades of consistent “reps” — experience gained through countless deals, leases, and relationships since 1986. That repetition allows him to instantly evaluate properties and markets with precision. His diverse background across nonprofits, advisory boards, and marketing gives him a broad business perspective, while his long-term relationships with national tenants help him quickly optimize deals. He emphasized that true mastery comes from experience and pattern recognition, not shortcuts. Discussing risk, he admitted to both bold moves and periods of over-caution, ultimately saying his biggest and best “risk” was getting married and having kids. Faith, family, and legacy drive his outlook — believing that population growth, family stability, and trust in God are essential for both personal fulfillment and a healthy economy.
