Most people are waiting for clarity, certainty, or the “perfect plan” but as this week's guest Hugh Zaretsky explains, momentum comes from action. A strong launch strategy starts with taking the next step, even when it’s only 70–80% aligned.

You’ll also hear how AI is changing the way investors find deals, analyze opportunities, and save time. But tools alone aren’t enough. Loral and Hugh emphasize that mentorship, critical thinking, and real-world experience are still essential to successfully launch your next chapter with AI and real estate.

They also unpack current market realities, from rising insurance costs to shifting investment hotspots and where opportunities still exist for those willing to adapt.

Meet Hugh Zaretsky:

After living through 9/11 in New York City, Hugh’s life and career forever changed. At that time, he was one of the youngest directors of technology for Getty Images, and was one of the first people to take pictures of the 9/11 scene that day. These were some of the first images that went out to every major newspaper.

He watched people go to work with hopes and dreams that would never get the chance to fulfill them. At that moment, he realized that he had to make a change. That is when he found real estate investing, speaking, and training. He comes from three generations of teachers. Speaking and training is in his blood.
