On this episode of Built World Hot Shots, we sit down with Camilo Niño, Founder & CEO of Linkvest Capital, to discuss his transition from active developer to one of South Florida’s most strategic private lenders. Camilo reveals how his "Developer DNA" allows him to underwrite deals with a speed and flexibility that traditional banks can't match, creating a massive edge in the bridge loan market. We dive into the current Miami lending landscape, navigating volatile interest rates, and why certainty of execution has become the single most valuable currency in today's real estate economy.

Jimmy Tate joins us over a pour of Basil Hayden bourbon for a wide-ranging conversation that traces his journey from growing up in a small-town Miami on Bay Harbor Islands to becoming a key figure behind some of South Florida’s most complex developments. We get into his early hustles, learning real estate the hard way on his father’s construction sites, the decision to strike out on his own, and the discipline that shaped Tate Capital. Jimmy also shares lessons from rebuilding after Hurricane Andrew, seeing the 2008 crash coming early, and tackling massive projects like the Bahia Mar redevelopment, giving us a candid look at legacy, risk, and building in Miami over decades.

Jaime Sturgis made the trip down from the U.S. (Fort Lauderdale) armed with a bottle of Don Fulano tequila, to talk about how he became one of South Florida’s neighborhood-makers. 

As Founder and CEO of Native Realty, Jaime has spent the last decade curating emerging districts, from Miami’s Wynwood to Fort Lauderdale’s Flagler Village, completing millions of square feet of transactions and setting multiple pricing records along the way.

A triple-major FSU alum and a frequent voice in Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, GlobeSt, and more, Jaime has built a brokerage known for disrupting the traditional model and shaping the next generation of urban neighborhoods. In this episode, we get into his rise, some surf talk,  his approach to placemaking, and where he sees South Florida’s growth heading next.

Sipping on a pour (or two) of Macallan, Chuck Bohl sits down with us to share the winding, unexpected journey that led him to become the founding director of the University of Miami’s Master of Real Estate Development program. We go all the way back to his early years growing up on a farm, where hard work and curiosity first took hold, before jumping into his teenage days shredding guitars and dreaming of being a rock star.

Chuck walks us through his time roaming the streets of 1980s New York City, the grit, the music, the culture, and the urban chaos that shaped his fascination with how cities work. It was there that the spark of placemaking and New Urbanism first ignited, eventually guiding him toward a career dedicated to building better neighborhoods, walkable communities, and transformative public spaces.

From music to academia, from farm life to urban design, Chuck’s story is a masterclass in following your interests wherever they lead. This episode is a thoughtful, entertaining look at how one of Miami’s most influential urban thinkers found his calling, and how he's helped shape the minds of hundreds of developers who now build the cities we live in.
