On this week's episode I welcome a close friend and colleague in the industry, Eric Birnbaum, Founder & CEO at Dreamscape Companies. In this episode, Eric shares with us his incredible story on how a friendship with the President of Vornado in 2003 turned into a pathway into the real estate industry on the acquisitions side and why he decided to leave investment banking to take on this new challenge. Eric then gives us an inside look at his entrepreneurial side as he gives us a detailed look at how he started Imperial Companies in 2014 and what drawbacks and advice he would give to someone going through the same thing. Finally, Eric shares with us what he is currently working on as well as advice he'd give to our listeners who are looking to get involved in the industry.
