On this week’s episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr interviews Lauren Brychell. They dig into her new 90-day playbook Beyond the Lead, outlining the four pillars of capital attraction and why most firms don’t need more leads, they need better conversion and nurture systems. Lauren and Richard get tactical on aligning marketing and sales into a single machine, building a lightweight tech stack with CRM, investor portal and segmented drips, and running discovery calls that keep your talk time under 20% while guiding prospects up a yes-ladder. They also compare top-of-funnel strategies—high-ROI in-person events, heavy content repurposing and distribution, and the realities of paid ads where only best-in-class funnels win.

On this week’s episode of Horizon Podcast, John Chang breaks down the newest jobs report, why the Fed is poised to cut, and how a sub-4 percent 10-year Treasury creates a short window to lock attractive debt for acquisitions and refis. He explains why policy uncertainty and tariffs could stoke stagflation, then maps the likely impacts by asset class, from steady necessity retail and mixed industrial outlooks to a nascent office recovery fueled by rising return-to-office pressure. John also outlines why supply pipelines are tapering faster than demand in many markets, how absorption could remain positive even through a mild recession, and why real estate may still outperform stocks and bonds if inflation lingers.

Ben shares his 32-year journey in commercial real estate, beginning with his first industrial syndication in his early 20s that launched him into office, industrial, and medical office leadership. He explains why Alliance CGC has now launched a multifamily division, pointing to trillions in debt coming due and the buying opportunities it presents. Ben emphasizes the importance of mindset, resilience, and personal development while also breaking down his investing philosophy of conservative leverage, the ability to hold, and scaling through talent and in-house management.

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Paul Moore. Paul shares his remarkable journey from selling his first company and chasing “shiny objects” that left him $2.5M in debt, to giving his way out during the 2008 crash, and eventually pivoting into real estate. He explains why multifamily wasn’t the “perfect investment,” how Wellings Capital now focuses on fund-of-funds strategies using Pareto’s principle to back only top-tier operators, and why diversification across operators, geographies, and asset classes is key. Paul also highlights how private equity firms vet operators, what passives should know about due diligence (including NOI audits), and how Wellings has raised over $800K to fight human trafficking through AIM

On this week’s episode of Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Fred Hubler. Fred shares why he built a retainer-based advisory model that helps entrepreneurs and high-net-worth families allocate beyond stocks into private credit, real estate and other alternatives, and he explains his 50-10-20-20 portfolio framework for traditional assets, cash, alts and hard assets. He digs into his due-diligence rubric of legal, ethical and moral unfair advantages, plus concrete playbooks like franchise roll-ups, optioning underused retail land for townhouse developments, and partnering with institutional-grade sponsors to protect downside. You’ll also hear how to vet operators, get closer to the underlying asset, and set break-even thresholds in volatile areas like oil and gas.

On this week’s episode of Beyond Multifamily, Ash Patel and Amanda Cruise interview each other for a solo episode. Amanda breaks down her land-home playbook for manufactured housing near Raleigh, explaining why county zoning and well plus septic areas unlock buildable lots and how smart cost segregation can offset gains with highly depreciable mobile home park components. She and Ash compare notes on commercial operations, from insisting on true commercial property managers and hyperlocal leasing pros to swallowing six-figure commissions when they add millions in value. They trade hard-won lessons on equity-sharing promissory notes, saying no to small time-sucks, and protecting sale-leasebacks with rent escrows, personal guarantees, and never dropping lawsuits, then close with practical etiquette for earning mentors and second calls.

On this week’s episode of Best Ever CRE, John Chang and Matt Faircloth interview each other in a fireside chat style. They unpack the three market drivers John watches most — jobs, demographics and local supply — and why rates matter mainly when the deal hits underwriting rather than for predicting operating performance. Matt explains his pivot toward day-one cash flow, positive leverage and scalability while moving away from C class value add plays. They debate hospitality with Matt favoring flagged limited-service hotels tied to business travel as John flags labor and construction headwinds, then trade war stories on COVID and Lehman that forced forecasts to flip overnight.

On this week’s episode of Unlimited Capital, Richard McGirr interviews Gene Trowbridge. They unpack how fund-of-funds legally solve the age-old capital-raising problem while navigating broker-dealer rules, why co-GPs rarely fix compensation issues, and what sponsors should demand from FOF managers. Gene deciphers 506C vs 506B offerings, the importance of disclosure, side-letter transparency, and third-party accreditation. They also explore investor relations dynamics, skin-in-the-game structures, and customizable funds—all while watching for potential SEC finder-definition shifts.

On this episode of The Horizon, John discusses two big themes: a looming seniors housing supply gap and why multifamily still looks durable. He explains that the 80+ population is set to surge while construction lags far behind NIC MAP’s estimated needs, pushing occupancies up and rents higher—though labor shortages remain a risk. He then pivots to apartments, noting record absorption, a historically wide cost gap between owning and renting, and a steep drop in new starts—all of which should keep vacancies trending down even if growth cools in a recession. Net-net, he argues CRE—especially seniors housing and multifamily—remains compelling for long-term investors.

On this episode of Multifamily Mastery, John Casmon interviews Georgy Marrero. Georgy shares his journey from coding prodigy to Big Tech (Amazon/Meta) and why he pivoted into real estate after early single-family flips led him toward multifamily, development, and industrial deals across the U.S. and Dominican Republic. He breaks down his operator-first framework (operator → market → asset), emphasizes downside protection through conservative debt and buying at a discount, and explains his AI-driven 21-point market screen. Georgy also details how he uses AI to scale capital raising, compress underwriting from hours to minutes, and tighten asset/development oversight with computer-vision tools.
