Of all commercial real estate investors, only 3% are women – and when Beth Azor learned that stat, she decided to frickin' change it. In this episode, Erin sits down with the woman affectionately known as The Canvassing Queen®: founder and CEO of Azor Advisory Services, owner of three Florida shopping centers valued at over $75 million, and founder of the Women's Real Estate Investment Summit, where Erin has had the joy of speaking – and riding the famous four-hour bus tour of the town Beth practically owns. Beth's story starts with an $11,000-a-year nonprofit salary and a real estate license she'd had since age 18. It took a boss literally marching her to a bank to co-sign a $50,000 note – on the condition she invest 20% of every commission from then on – to turn a high-earning spender into an investor. Eight LP deals later, she went out on her own as a GP, and today she's the co-GP of a $32 million asset she waited thirteen years to buy. Yes, thirteen. That story alone (Mr. G, the quarterly "no," and the pivot to pure relationship-building) is worth the listen – and so is the one about crashing a utility company's remote HQ with cupcakes. Whether you've never heard the terms LP and GP or you're ready to raise capital for your first deal, Beth breaks the path down into steps any woman can start this week: pick an asset class, find an expert, invest passively first, and watch how it's done. Because as Beth's community proves – 68 women stood up at this year's summit having invested with someone in the room – you don't have to do it alone. Listen in as Erin and Beth discuss: The boss who called her "a freaking idiot" (with love), co-signed her first $50K investment, and made her bank 20% of every commission The stat that lit the fire: only 3% of commercial real estate investors are women – and most inherited it or signed on a husband's guarantee Why "we don't know any other women doing it" is the real barrier – and how the Women's Real Estate Investment Summit is dismantling it LP vs. GP, explained in plain English: preferred returns, refinances, and why LPs end up "playing with house money" Beth's starting playbook: pick your asset class, find an expert, LP first, and watch the GP How GPs raise capital – including the empty Wells Fargo bank deal where Beth raised $3.2M from 22 people in four days Beth's non-negotiable: never invest with a GP who has no skin in the game The 13-year Mr. G story: how persistence plus genuine relationship turned "no, click" into co-GP of a $32M asset The cupcake story: how a Friday-afternoon delivery did what eight men yelling couldn't Women Investor Wednesdays, the March 2027 summit, and how to get in the room About Affectionately known as The Canvassing Queen®, Beth Azor is the founder and CEO of Azor Advisory Services (AAS), a leading commercial real estate advisory and investment firm based in Davie, Florida. As its principal, Beth currently owns and manages three shopping centers in Florida valued at over $75M. She travels the U.S. consulting with, brokering deals for, and training associates in the commercial real estate industry, with clients including Phillips Edison & Co., Brixmor Properties, The Shopping Center Group, Urban Edge Development, DLC Management Group, and Bedrock. Beth is the author of Don't Say No for the Prospect (2019) and The Retail Leasing Playbook (2020), the founder of the Women's Real Estate Investment Summit – on a mission to get more women investing in real estate and growing their families' wealth – and co-founder of the South Florida Independent Retailer Awards®. Her newly created AI bot "Ask Beth" is a compilation of her 900 YouTube videos and 300 podcast episodes. A graduate of FSU, Beth is founder and past Chairwoman of the FSU Real Estate Foundation, past President of HOPE Outreach Center in Davie, and co-founder of 100+ Women Who Care in South Florida.

Mamdani’s Netanyahu arrest threat hits a wall—and CNN is the one pushing back. Netanyahu has had words and Trump said the arrest won’t happen. But CNN's takedown of Mamdani’s threat was the most epic and viral. Britain's new leader wants to rewrite the rulebook. What does that mean? He wants to reinvent the economy. Sound familiar? CPS: protecting children or a system out of control? Are some families being torn apart by the very system meant to protect them? Tim Walz’s last remarks about the illegal alien child rapist he pardoned drew major backlash. Shockingly, they draw support from a large media outlet.

We sat down to speak with Claire Wang (王婉諭), chairwoman of the New Power Party, one of Taiwan political parties, that emerged from the Sunflower Movement.

At the time it was the largest recall effort attempted by the citizens of a democracy. As a result of what was called the Great Recall Movement, a total of 31 KMT legislators were put up for a recall vote. Another 7 KMT legislators in addition to the first 24 would be up for a recall vote on August 23. Last July Talking Taiwan traveled back to witness the first recall vote on July 26th. To learn more about the Great Recall movement we encourage you to listen to our past episodes 316 with recall campaigners Carol, Acho and Eric, and 317 with Courtney Donovan Smith.

What separates good economic development organizations from great ones? According to Barry Broome, it comes down to leadership, data, and the courage to adapt. In this episode of Develop This!, host Dennis Fraise sits down with Barry Broome, President and CEO of the Greater Sacramento Economic Council and recipient of the 2025 Chairwoman's Award from the International Economic Development Council. Barry shares hard-earned insights from decades in the field, offering a candid look at the evolving economic development landscape. From the acceleration of reshoring and the rise of secondary markets to the growing influence of AI and automation, this conversation dives deep into the forces shaping regional economies today. A major theme? Communities must be prepared—or risk being left behind. Barry emphasizes that credible data, reliable power infrastructure, and workforce readiness are no longer optional—they are prerequisites for competing in today's investment environment. As demand for data centers and AI-driven industries surges, the conversation highlights a critical reality: power availability may be the single biggest constraint on growth. The discussion also explores a shift toward smaller, more strategic projects and why chasing megadeals without fundamentals in place can backfire. Barry offers practical, real-world advice for economic developers looking to position their communities for long-term success. Whether you're working in a large metro or a second-tier market, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you lead with clarity, compete effectively, and build a more resilient regional economy. Key Topics Leadership traits of high-performing economic development organizations The impact of AI and automation on jobs and regional competitiveness Strategies for attracting, retaining, and growing investment The critical role of power infrastructure in data centers and AI projects Workforce challenges and opportunities in a shifting economy Lessons learned from a distinguished career in economic development Sound Bites "Moving away from meritocracy to comfort levels." "Not having good data is a red flag for communities." "Power availability is critical for data centers."
Newt talks with Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21st), Chairwoman of the House Republican Leadership, about her new book, “Poisoned Ivies: The Inside Account of the Academic and Moral Rot at America’s Elite Universities.” They discuss how America’s elite universities, once proud symbols of academic excellence, have become centers of far-left indoctrination and division. Stefanik traces her own political and professional trajectory, from volunteering for the New York Republican State Committee at age 14 and ultimately running as a 28-year-old underdog who has become a long-serving New York Republican in Congress. Drawing on her experience as a Harvard alumna, Stefanik argues that many elite universities have shifted from liberal leaning but pluralistic to ideologically lopsided, with a dramatic imbalance between Democratic and Republican faculty and a growing culture of political indoctrination over academic rigor. Stefanik’s participation in the hearing with university presidents was a historic turning point in the national debate over higher education. She concludes by expressing her hope, both as a policymaker and as a parent, that this earthquake in public awareness will help restore American universities to global excellence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
