This podcast explores the surprising disconnect between soaring GDP growth and a simultaneous collapse in hiring, unpacking what this divergence reveals about the modern economy. Through accessible analysis and real-world examples, the episode examines how productivity gains, corporate behavior, technology, and post-pandemic dynamics have reshaped the relationship between economic output and jobs. Listeners are guided through why strong headline economic numbers may no longer translate into widespread employment growth—and what that means for workers, businesses, and policymakers going forward.

This podcast episode dives into the aftermath of the industrial real estate boom, examining how years of rapid expansion have given way to a market correction. It breaks down the forces behind the "industrial real estate hangover," including shifting demand, overbuilding, changing supply chains, and evolving tenant behavior. With clear insights into what's driving today's challenges, the episode explores what this slowdown means for investors, developers, and the broader commercial real estate market—and what to watch as the sector recalibrates for its next phase.

This episode features special guests Dwight Hotchkiss, SIOR and David Howard, Presidents of our Riverside Temecula Valley and Atlanta offices, respectively.
