The Fly Through - CRE

Please welcome a multi-talented woman to The Fly Through.   She is one of the original architects of the Target Store of Future back in the day, she's a retail expert, owner and creator of the Third Haus - a co-working/community built around retail and the thought leadership of her own podcast, Omni Talk and a website full of great and massively informative content.  In her spare time, she owns 3 gyms and is an all around badass lady.  I was thrilled to talk to Anne Mezzenga on The Fly Through.   

We had way too much to talk about, so we focused on how grocery today is a bell weather for what other companies might be experiencing in the not too distant future - implementing technologies, creating safe workplaces for employees and clients, and supply chain challenges.   A note that we recorded this episode on April 8th, 2020 - while shelter in place means that many of us experience the outside world via our trips to the grocery store.

Takeoff Technologies Micro-Fulfillment Center at Sedano's Grocery Store in Miami (this is Anne, filling real orders, seeing this for the first time, super simple to do. Each of the products from the orders arrives in the bins in front of me, and a screen above tells me how many ketchup bottles, for example, to put in the bag, then the bin disappears, and the next one comes down, and the screen tells me how many of the next product to put in the bag.)

Rex Miller joined me to discuss a broad and increasingly important concept of wellness in the work place.  Rex is an expert in ROI, trust building and wellness in the workplace that he discussed in depth in his recent book, The Healthy Workplace Nudge.  His thesis is that truly healthy employees are engaged, proactive, happy and productive - a win win for employers and employees.   We talk about how wellness can be reflected in the built environment and small, thoughtful nudges can help support people's wellness in the workplace.

Carolyn Bates, JLL Research lead for the Midwest, joined me.  We discussed the soon to be released research for Q1 2020 - remember the time before the pandemic hit?  They still track all that at JLL.  More importantly, we discuss what is happening right about now - March 31st, 2020 that is, and while we aren't forecasting, we can share the conversations that are out there now about real estate and how folks are thinking about it. 

As a fun follow up we reviewed trends that were definitely trends right around the new year, but are they anymore?
