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 […]

Celebrity philanthropy takes planning, commitment
If you’re like me, you probably see celebrities on TV promoting their latest causes and think to yourself, “Yeah, they’re just doing it for the publicity.” Frankly, that’s not the case with most of them, said sports and entertainment attorney Andrew D. Morton of Handler Thayer LLP. They’re giving back – particularly the athletes – […]
CCIM touts upcoming Commercial Real Estate Outlook Conference
We talk a lot about the CCIM designation on this show, and with good reason. It’s considered by many to be the Ph.D. of real estate, and earning the CCIM badge is no light task. A bunch of those Ph.D.’s will be gathering here in South Florida on Jan. 21 for the 2015 CCIM Commercial […]
