On this episode of the Hoffman Hour Podcast, host Robert Hoffman sits down with commercial real estate broker and entrepreneur Christian File for a wide-ranging conversation about business, leadership, and the long game of building wealth.

Christian shares one of his most epic elk hunting stories, setting the tone for a discussion that blends adventure with entrepreneurship. The two dive into the fundamentals of commercial real estate, including what a qualifying broker actually does, how the Berkshire Hathaway commercial real estate division in New Mexico came to be, and what separates a hungry, high-performing broker from the rest when it comes to listings, leads, and long-term success.

Robert and Christian also explore the mindset behind running multiple businesses vs. focusing on one specialty, how leaders find their flow state, and lessons from the book Stealing Fire about peak performance.

Other topics include:

• The value of farmable soil and long-term assets
• Faith, believing in God, and staying grounded as an entrepreneur
• Residual income and planting seeds for the future
• Playing poker and hosting CCIM charity poker tournaments built on respect and relationships

The episode also reflects on the historic retirement of legendary investor Warren Buffett, and what his philosophy of patience and discipline can teach entrepreneurs and investors today.

It’s a conversation about playing the long game in business and life—planting seeds today so they grow into something meaningful tomorrow.
