Took the leap. Left my role as Leasing Director at an industrial private equity group. Time to build something of my own. The education received from my Mentors + Colleagues , and the experiences over the last 6 years is very difficult explain the endless value of. Grateful for the foundation and to have watched some of the industries finest Real Estate minds at work. Today: -50,000 SF owned operated across 4 buildings. All acquired within last 6 months. -Every building acquired vacant - Every building Now 100% leased - LPs forecasted to receive full return of capital within 6–9 months after refi. Future: -We are Focused on acquiring industiral, small bay, and flex industrial properties under 50K SF. Vacant, partially vacant, or properties with unique circumstances are the sweet spot. Preference is in the South East. Just getting started. The Road to 1M sf begins.

@SneakerPhetish @westonblasi Hint: They aren’t advertising to Golfers.

Haha probably cause Bron kinda sucks at golf - it was such an interesting move to use him instead of an actual golfer. Would’ve been easy to show Rory or someone knocking down perfect shots, drowning out the noise, but adding the humor of Lebron (a world class athlete in another sport) doing terrible makes it that much better lol

Everyone has a good ad until Nike shows up with a new ad. Then you’re reminded who’s on Top when it comes to great marketing. This LeBron is good for so many reasons.

@SahilBloom GrayScale is a game changer.

I broke my phone addiction in 30 days. • Screen Time down ~70% • Phone pickups down ~50% I reclaimed 4 hours 30 minutes per day. That's 1,635 hours across a full year. 68 days of life from a single behavior change. Here's exactly what I did (save this): 1. Grayscale Mode Put your phone on Grayscale Mode for the entire day. Grayscale Mode removes the colors to make your phone immediately less appealing and addicting. It takes 30 seconds to set up. If you have an iPhone, follow these steps: • Settings • Accessibility • Display & Text Size • Color Filters -> On • Grayscale Next, create a simple shortcut: • Settings • Accessibility • Accessibility Shortcut • Color Filters Now, if you triple-click the side button, you'll be able to toggle it on and off. For non-iPhone users, you can find instructions​ with a simple search. I kept my phone on Grayscale at all times and only removed it for specific reasons (like posting something that required me to see the color, looking at photos, etc.). It made me less interested in grabbing my phone for the random "just checks" during the day. 2. No-Phone Zones Set specific locations, times, and events where you won't have your phone on you. I called them No-Phone Zones: • Downstairs (kitchen, living room) • Creative flow time (from ~5-8am) • Family flow time (from ~5-7pm) • Family gatherings During these windows, my phone would be in a lock box or in a drawer in my office. If we were out at a family gathering, I would leave it in the car or in my wife's bag where I couldn't feel it. Specifically listing out these No-Phone Zones had the benefit of making it a clear rule that I could cement in my mind. Create your list of No-Phone Zones. Write it down if you need to. 3. Strategic Friction Even with the Grayscale Mode and No-Phone Zones, my phone addiction intervention would have been difficult to execute without this final piece of the puzzle. Motivation and discipline are never enough when you're trying to crack a deeply entrenched behavior. There's a theory in cognitive science called Choice Architecture, which is the idea that you can design your environment to make good choices easier and bad choices harder. Basically, I wanted to add strategic friction to make it much easier to adhere to my rules (and much more difficult to break them). Three primary ways I did that: 1. I locked my phone in a ​lock box​ during my morning creative flow (5-8am) and evening family flow (5-7pm). It was a timed lock so I couldn’t get it without emailing the company. 2. I left my phone far away from where I was going to be working. If I wanted to get it, I'd have to walk to the other side of the house or down a few flights of stairs to get it. 3. I added really low screen time restrictions to social apps. If I wanted to overuse them, I'd have to keep approving more time, which felt like letting myself down when I did it. Breaking the addiction is going to be difficult at first. Create strategic friction that helps you stick to the change. Make it difficult to make a bad choice. The Life Impact I'm not going to sugarcoat it at all: This was the single most powerful behavior change I've ever made in terms of the tangible impact and ripple effects on my life. That is not an exaggeration. I was more present, less stressed, and able to connect on an entirely different level. In short, I showed up more aligned with how my ideal self would. My capacity for deep work expanded significantly from simply placing my phone in another room or a lock box. I got more done, faster, at a higher quality bar. It was like the holy trinity of productivity improvement, with no fancy productivity tool required. Reviewing the research, this isn't surprising: There is clear ​scientific evidence​ that even having your phone in your pocket or on your desk reduces your cognitive capacity. I felt happier and less stressed immediately upon making the change. So, just keeping score... This was a single, zero cost behavior change that had the net effect of: • Improving my relationships • Improving my work • Improving my happiness To be completely transparent, just a few days in, the only negative thought I had related to the intervention was simple: Why didn't I do this sooner? I hope this is the push you need to make this change in your life. Start small and stick to it. Aim for a 10-20% screen time reduction week-over-week. Keep yourself accountable with a friend. Having now gone through it, I can guarantee you'll see and feel the positive impact immediately. Onward and upward.

@seanpatward Another Option: Hire someone to teach you how to use AI, then never use a broker again.

Holy smokes, so many people still don’t get this. Let’s say a client is going to hire someone to lease or sell their property. They are going to pay the same market fee. Do they choose: - a solo broker (who may or may not have an assistant)? - a solo broker who is leveraging AI to be 5x more productive? - a broker who leverages human capital and has a team of ten people? - that same team of ten where each person is leveraging AI to be 5x more productive? This seems so obvious to me. For the same cost I’m picking the team that brings 10-50x the horse power. Our team is all-in on leveraging AI to the benefit of our clients.

@oneinvestorguy Nailed it.

@Kyle_Wade2 Those are the people who need financial advisors

Accurate and hilarious

@Shubhamkhatwani @HustleBitch_ Lmao real estate agents don’t handle any of that anyways. (FL license holder for 15 years+)

No Wifi on the Plane should be criminalized.

@JakehellerAI Plot twist. The GP doesn’t need your capital just needs your claude prompting skills to find errors in their assumptions 😆

if a GP sends you their underwriting model... drag it into claude for excel (or Endex AI or Shortcut AI) and say: "scrutinize everything... find formula errors... flag aggressive assumptions... prepare questions for the GP, identify red flags" the AI won't replace your judgment on whether to invest but it will beat the shit out of the deal and make sure you're asking the right questions before you wire capital

Buy shit from your friends businesses and try and get free shit from strangers. Not the other way around.

2020: Real estate as we know it is done for; the market isn't going to survive lockdown. Result: The people who kept focusing on the basics and ignored the noise won. 2021: NFTs & the Metaverse. Facebook is changing its name, go all-in on NFTs & the Metaverse, or get left behind! Result: The people who kept focusing on the basics and ignored the noise won. 2022-2023: Buy an automated e-commerce store, don't get left behind! Unlimited cash flow. Result: The people who kept focusing on the basics and ignored the noise won. 2024-Present: Fire your whole team, spend every hour per day learning AI or get left behind! Result: The people who keep focusing on the basics and ignore the noise will win. If AI helps you solve a legit current constraint in your business right now -- great, use it as a tool like you would anything else. But AI is here to AUGMENT your business and make it better, not for you to tinker with OpenClaw for 8 hours per day.

Your entire life will change the day you realize real confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you know failure is never final.

Strength of light industrial highlighted in the performance of industrial properties under 100,000 SF Demand Drivers • Ecommerce: fuels demand for last mile and local distribution hubs. Delivery speed trend not slowing down and U.S. online sale have grown roughly 2.5x since 2019 • Light Manufacturing: accelerated by reshoring/nearshoring trends plus tariff and supply chain resilience initiatives. Not only does this impact massive manufacturing developments, but it also favors smaller suppliers, assembly operations and specialty fabricators near population centers. We are in the early stages of seeing the effects of suppliers taking existing industrial space near the mega manufacturing new developments. Supply • Small bay development (article defines as <100,000 SF) annually has often been less than 0.5% of existing supply, as developers have prioritized big box industrial development over the past decade. • This under supply is projected to continue with smaller buildings being difficult to replicate. Prime land near population centers is difficult to find, is costly, faces restrictive zoning, and higher construction costs result in new development economics favoring large scale projects. Vacancy Rates • Small bay hovering in the 3.4 - 4.8% vacancy rate range • Broader industrial and/or big box vacancy: 7 - 9% range Limited new supply and continued demand tailwinds protect existing assets long term value and supports sustained future rent growth.

Sourround yourself with people who make you believe in a bigger version of yourself, not force you to adopt a smaller version of yourself to accommodate their smaller version of themselves.

Commercial real estate rewards those who stick with it long enough to let their relationships, knowledge, and efforts compound. You cannot control the market and you cannot force deals to happen. But you can control your habits and your actions, and doing the right thing for long enough will almost always pay off. You don't have to be the smartest person in the room to win.

@chernobelskiy I would love to catch up with you to see how this has progressed.
