Excellence is the goal of celebrity philanthropy
One of our favorite guests is attorney Andrew Morton. He’s the chair of Handler Thayer LLP’s Sports & Entertainment Law Group, and he works with celebrities of all types to help them give back effectively. Morton travels in interesting circles, and he came back on the show recently to share a few examples of celebrities […]
Curate your brand for better business
Museums don’t have managers. They have “curators” – people who are responsible not just for the day-to-day operation but for the entire experience. I like to say that we have to “curate” our brands. Once we have a brand, the question becomes how to maintain it, cultivate it, and make sure the customer experience is […]
Love and awareness at Lauren’s book event
This show talks a lot about facts and figures and trends and projections. But it’s also about kindness and goodness and sharing and positive energy. And no where did I see more of that than when I attended Lauren Book’s reading of her own book – Lauren’s Kingdom – at Books & Books at Bal […]
Michael Fay surveys South Florida real estate scene
Simply put, Michael Fay is a real estate rainmaker. He has over 31 years of commercial real estate experience and more than $4.2 billion in transactions under his belt.

CCIM’s take expertise to Wynwood makeover
By now you know that I’m a big fan of the CCIM designation and organization. Once a month or so, we have a CCIM representative on the show to talk about the training and the brand. March was no exception, and we had two real pros join us for a conversation. Danny Zelonker, SIOR, CCIM, […]
Bergstrom Center affiliation helps radio host pay it forward
Back in the early 1980s, I was a real estate major at the University of Florida. That, to be sure, was an oddity. Almost no one – and I mean no one – had a specific focus on real estate as a major. Fast-forward 30 years, and now it’s almost commonplace thanks to the UF […]
Capital flight among top family office trends
I never tire of talking about family offices, mostly because they are so relevant to the economic times in which we live. So it was a privilege to once again welcome a family office expert – Thomas Handler – back to the show to talk about family office trends for 2015. I can’t think of […]
Prepping for Miami Marlins 2015
I LOVE baseball – and a really love Miami Marlins baseball. Back in the day, I’d sit in the front row at FanFest, ready with lots of questions. So it probably goes without saying that I’m absolutely stoked about the upcoming Miami Marlins 2015 season. In preparation, I had the team’s director of marketing, Matt […]
Miami apartment market is hot
Miami is a magnet for investment money, but that wasn’t always the case. I can remember the days when our town was redlined by institutional development capital for one reason or another. These days, however, Miami has turned into an international hot spot for institutional capital deployment, and apartments are a favorite vehicle. I had […]
Condo experts see value in Miami-Dade
Well, you think about sunshine and water, too. But you get what I’m saying – real estate is huge in Miami and condos make up the bulk of it. Basically there are two ways to buy a condo in Miami. You can purchase an existing unit, or you can buy pre-construction. Each has its advantages, […]
