🎙 BETTER DECISIONS PODCAST Branded Condos EXPOSED: Investment or Illusion?
In this episode of Better Decisions, I sit down with Danielle Garno, a branding & intellectual property attorney who has spent decades protecting world-class brands, to unpack the psychology, law, and economics behind “branded” luxury—especially in Miami real estate. We get real about seduction marketing, brand markup, licensing & approval rights, heritage vs. hype, and how private equity can reshape (or erode) what made a brand special in the first place.
