        • Thibault Manekin of Seawall

          On this episode, I’m speaking with Thibault Manekin, Partner at Seawall.

          Growing up in Baltimore City, Thibault wrestled to understand why we, as human beings, seemed so divided. He continued to ask himself what causes the divides that separate races, cultures, and communities and what can be done to bridge them.

          Since 2007, Seawall has been an impact-driven company made up of passionate social entrepreneurs who believe in re-imagining the real estate industry, believing that all facets of the built environment should be used to empower communities, unite our cities, and help launch powerful ideas that create important movements.

          Thibault is also the author of Larger Than Yourself, released in 2021, and as he would say - most importantly - a passionate husband and father.

            • Martha Bader of Arden 55+ Living

              On this episode I'm speaking with Martha Bader, Director of Marketing and Programming at Arden 55+ Living.

              A Southerner by birth but not by accent, her career in Marketing is as varied as the colors in the largest box of crayons that one can find.

              Her roles have included store openings and logistics with Old Navy, events and public relations for The Park Hyatt Hotel, and business development for a woman-owned training company.

              Fueled by innovation and a passion for healthy living, she started on a "start-up" road with Privia Health and K4Connect, which landed her in the sector she now calls home, Active Adult.

              Working locally and nationally with Greystar's Active Adult marketing team ignited combined her love of hospitality, real estate, events, and marketing into one.

              Today, at Arden 55+ Living, she works to engage her teams as well as future "55 and better" residents. Her main focus is to discover new ways to market to residents accurately, make the renter journey enjoyable, simplify our onsite teams' responsibilities, and understand trends to continue innovating.
