Welcome to W.I.R.E.D., a new podcast focused on wealth in real estate development. In the inaugural episode, host Nick Smith shares his journey, discussing his upbringing in East Chicago, his transition into the real estate field, and his experience in both residential and commercial real estate. Additionally, Nick highlights the challenges he faced after graduating during the 2008 recession and his latest project in East Chicago, where he plans to renovate a vacant building and positively impact the community. 

Motivated by a lack of mainstream podcasts on real estate development, Nick started W.I.R.E.D. to educate listeners about building wealth and communities through property ownership. He aims to feature developers of all scales and emphasize the importance of local involvement in the expansion process. The podcast promises to provide valuable insights into the industry and its potential for transforming neighborhoods and creating wealth. Join Nick on this exciting journey as he dives deeper into the fascinating world of real estate development.
