In this episode, Shawn Lynch sits down with ER doctor turned serial entrepreneur Dr. Abdulla Kudrath to break down how one man built a portfolio of emergency rooms, a rooftop lounge, an imaging center, and a growing real estate empire. If you have ever wondered how high performers turn expertise into ownership, this conversation hands you the playbook in real time and shows you why your skills are worth far more than a paycheck.Shawn and Abdulla go deep on commercial real estate investing, from buying distressed industrial buildings at $50 per square foot to converting them into Class A flex space, understanding cap rates, carrying costs, and how actually to raise a building's value through occupancy. They get candid about why most doctors go broke in business, how to choose the right operator, the danger of ego, and the hard-won lessons that only come from getting beaten up like in kung fu. The conversation also covers AI and the future of work, raising kids without entitlement, the spilled milk approach to solving problems, and why traditional college may already be obsolete.If you are ready to think bigger about wealth, ownership, and building a life on your own terms, subscribe to the Official Success Formula channel for more conversations that give you a real advantage.

Commercial real estate debt is now one of the market's most avoided asset classes. Our Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets explains why there may be an opportunity to invest in those securities.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Andrew Sheets, Global Head of Fixed Income Research at Morgan Stanley. Today, why commercial real estate debt could be overlooked and undervalued. It's Friday, May 29th at 2pm in London. Bond yields have risen this year, and it's attracting strong flows into fixed income markets. The problem is that all of that demand is narrowing the risk premium that one receives. Spreads on U.S. mortgage bonds are richer than 89 percent of observations over the last 20 years. Spreads on the U.S. high yield market, well, they're richer than 96 percent of the time. And spreads on U.S. investment grade, it's 99 percent. We live in a world where the risk premium on most bonds is very low versus history, but there are exceptions. One is debt backed by commercial mortgages or so-called CMBS. Spreads here, notably and unusually, are significantly higher than the long run average. It is a market that we like. Commercial property is largely comprised of lending against office buildings, apartments, retail complexes, and industrial sites like warehouses. The first three have faced major challenges over the last five years. Office values have slumped as investors feared more people working from home. Apartments have suffered from significant supply in building, conceived in a low-rate world as this has come online. And retail has faced long-run concern about the trend of more online shopping. And the rise of interest rates, well, that's loomed over everything. A building, in a lot of ways, is a lot like a bond, promising a dependable stream of rents over time. When an investor can get that stream of cash flows from the bond market, commercial property prices must adjust lower to remain competitive. These challenges are material, but they are also not new. Indeed, investors may recall that fears around commercial property peaked way back in early 2023 following significant rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Back then, there were widespread fears that commercial property weakness would ricochet back and threaten the banking system. Three years later, those worst fears have not been realized. And while defaults and restructurings have happened, overall commercial property fundamentals are beginning to pick back up. Commercial property transaction volumes increased 27 percent in the U.S. in the first quarter relative to a year prior; and prices are rising, up about 5 percent over the same period. The amount of commercial real estate debt being originated is up about 40 percent over the last year – a sign that lenders are coming back. And the number of commercial deals that are becoming distressed and unable to pay their bills, they just saw their first quarterly decline since all of those problems in early 2023. Part of this recovery in the commercial real estate market may be explained by U.S. growth, which continues to be resilient, and some of it mirrors other cycles. When rates rose and commercial lending markets weakened, the construction of new properties really slowed down. It takes several years to build a building, and so it's only now that the impact of everything that was not built is starting to be felt. With less supply coming online, the value of existing property is better supported, especially relative to the more elevated risk premiums on offer for its debt. Thank you, as always, for your time.

The 10-year Treasury rising past 4.5% has taken the wind out of real estate's recovery sails. Momentum gained in Q1 is already reversing as the war in Iran pushes on inflation. MSCI Chief Economist of Real Estate Research Jim Costello said the volatile bond market is “a new wrench thrown into the works.” And while he believes the CRE recovery is still underway, it's tenuous.“[Investors] need to do more scenario planning these days, because that's how you can deal with the growing uncertainty in the market,” he said.

This episode of The Kash & Dash Show — Unscripted with Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner is a little bit real estate, a little bit family life, and a whole lot of “this is why business is never as clean as people make it look online.”Ted and Owen talk Mother's Day, Father's Day traditions, dad memories, old business cards, garage sale chaos, Goodwill debates, and the random things that make you realize life moves way too fast.They also get into the real stuff: insurance sticker shock, commercial property expenses, car wash surprises, water heater costs, and the brutal reality that owning real estate is not always passive income. Sometimes it is just expensive problems wearing a cute little “investment property” hat.The Golden Nugget in this episode is simple: don't fake the rehab number. If you are an agent bringing a deal to an investor, your job is not to guess construction costs. Bring the ARV, bring the comps, bring what you can visibly see the property needs — but don't say it needs $20,000 in repairs when it is really a $50,000 problem. Bad numbers kill credibility and can blow up a deal fast. Ted and Owen also talk about public speaking, Toastmasters, improving as a presenter, and what it looks like when a speaker truly moves a room. Ted shares a personal moment about the passing of Kyle Loftus from 1320Video and the impact Kyle had on Omaha and beyond.If you enjoy the episode, subscribe, leave a review, and check out The Kash and Dash Show on YouTube. You can Join the Omaha REIA - https://omahareia.com/join-todayOmaha REIA on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OmahaREIACheck out the National REIA - https://nationalreia.org/ Find Ted Kaasch at www.tedkaasch.com Owen Dashner on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/owen.dashner Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/odawg2424/ Red Ladder Property Solutions - www.sellmyhouseinomahafast.com Liquid Lending Solutions - www.liquidlendingsolutions.com Owen's Blogs - www.otowninvestor.com www.reiquicktips.com Propstream - https://trial.propstreampro.com/reianebraska/Timber Creek Virtual - https://timbercreekvirtual.com/services/MagicDoor - https://magicdoor.com/reia/...

Is artificial intelligence going to replace real estate professionals, or just the ones who refuse to adapt? The world of real estate is moving faster than ever, and if you aren't leveraging the cutting-edge tech hitting the market, you're actively falling behind the competition. If you want to stop wasting hours on tedious data entry and start closing more deals exponentially faster, it's time to change how you do business. In this episode, host Scott Carson sits down with Jake Heller, a third-generation real estate professional, licensed broker, and founder of the AI for CRE Collective. Despite having "dirty hands" on the physical side of real estate and zero formal tech background, Jake recognized a massive void in how the industry adopts advanced technology. He brought together leading real estate minds to form a powerhouse community dedicated to testing, filtering, and deploying practical AI tools directly into commercial and residential investing workflows. Jake pulls back the curtain on his massive database of over 650 commercial real estate AI tools—revealing why most vertical solutions on the market are garbage and how general-purpose powerhouses like Claude have become his absolute daily driver. From running automated weekly market reports to utilizing AI-powered voice outreach and generating institutional-quality deal decks in under ten minutes, this episode is a masterclass in modern real estate leverage. Whether you're a broker looking to target high-probability buyers or a note investor trying to scrub nationwide spreadsheets in seconds, Jake outlines the exact frameworks needed to build a lean, high-ROI business machine. Key Topics Covered:The $30 Trillion Tech Gap: Why commercial real estate has historically been incredibly slow to adopt technology, and why tech built by non-real estate developers usually fails. Filtering the Noise: Inside Jake's database of 650+ real estate AI platforms and his process for picking out the tiny handful that actually yield a measurable ROI. The "Jack of All Trades" Model: Why general-purpose AI platforms like Claude are often vastly superior to expensive niche industry solutions. Don't AI Everything: The critical mistake of over-automating basic tasks, and how to establish clear, measurable KPIs for your tech integration. The Human in the Loop: Navigating accuracy hurdles, running quality control on data outputs, and mastering the new modern skill set of AI prompt auditing. One-Click Feasibility & Entitlements: How Jake's firm uses AI for permit expediting, structural development standards, and predicting approval likelihoods in tough landscapes like Los Angeles. Automated Lead Generation & Outreach: Utilizing automated internet scrapers to track local zoning shifts, new businesses, and regulatory changes on autopilot. Leveling the Geographic Playing Field: How data aggregation allows solo operators to instantly get up to speed on foreign real estate markets and out-compete teams ten times their size. Bypassing Nondisclosure Hurdles: Smart strategies for scrubbing public county appraisal records to track self-directed IRA investors for capital raising campaigns. Embracing artificial intelligence is no longer an optional luxury—it is a baseline requirement to survive the modern real estate shift. Real estate remains a fundamentally simple, relationship-driven business, but the tools you choose will ultimately dictate your speed, accuracy, and profitability.

Joe Killinger has spent over 30 years in real estate — rehabbing SoCal houses he was literally living inside of, running real estate auctions with unpublished reserves that almost got him swung at by angry buyers, getting laid off, laying his partner off, building three companies to over $5M in revenue inside 18 months. He's done $950M in transactions across more than 6,500 assets. But the move that should matter most to independent brokers right now is the one he made in 2021 — the CRE Affiliate Network. A no-fee, referral-only network designed so a five-person shop can hand off a deal in Dallas and get paid like a national.In this episode, Kyle and Joe get into:The real estate auction playbook The losses that birthed the CRE Affiliate Network The 40-member milestone "What can you offer that we can't?"The business behind the brand The AI staffing resetThe decision-tree system for protecting your timeOne asset class, one market If you're an independent broker, a small shop owner, or a junior agent trying to figure out how to compete without the national brand on your business card — this one's the map.

Episode Summary In this episode, Benoy Thanjan sits down with Victoria Stulgis, President of Black Bear Energy, to explore one of the most underrated opportunities in the solar industry: commercial real estate. Black Bear Energy acts as an owner's representative for institutional property owners, helping them deploy on-site solar and battery storage across their portfolios at scale. Victoria discusses Black Bear's recently published 2025 Real Estate Solar Leaderboards Report, a first-of-its-kind dataset tracking energized on-site solar across major U.S. real estate owners and managers. The numbers are eye-opening. Prologis leads with 309 MW deployed in the U.S. alone and more than 1 GW globally. Public Storage has quietly completed more than 1,100 projects totaling 111 MW. According to Morgan Stanley, there is still 326 GW of untapped solar capacity sitting on commercial rooftops across the country. The conversation gets into the real mechanics of how large REITs and institutional landlords are approaching solar today, why most deals are front-of-meter rooftop leases, what is driving community solar adoption in Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland, and what the ITC phase-out means for lease rates and deal economics going forward. Victoria also makes the case for why battery storage is the next major frontier for commercial real estate and what it will take for the capital markets to catch up. Biographies Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy, a solar development and consulting firm, and a strategic advisor to multiple cleantech startups. Over his career, Benoy has developed more than 100 MW of solar projects across the U.S., helped launch the first residential solar tax equity funds at Tesla, and brokered $45 million in Renewable Energy Credit transactions. Prior to founding Reneu Energy, Benoy was the Environmental Commodities Trader in Tesla's Project Finance Group, where he managed one of the largest environmental commodities portfolios. He originated REC trades and co-developed a monetization and hedging strategy with senior leadership to enter the East Coast market. As Vice President at Vanguard Energy Partners, Benoy crafted project finance solutions for commercial-scale solar portfolios. His role at Ridgewood Renewable Power, a private equity fund with 125 MW of U.S. renewable assets, involved evaluating investment opportunities and maximizing returns. He also played a key role in the sale of the firm's renewable portfolio. Earlier in his career, Benoy worked in Energy Structured Finance at Deloitte & Touche and Financial Advisory Services at Ernst & Young, following an internship on the trading floor at D.E. Shaw & Co., a multi-billion-dollar hedge fund. Benoy holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University and a BS in Finance and Economics from NYU Stern, where he was an Alumni Scholar. Victoria Stulgis Victoria Stulgis is the President of Black Bear Energy, where she oversees the company's growth and day-to-day operations following the departure of founder Drew Torbin at the end of 2025. She has been with Black Bear for more than nine years, joining in the company's early days and working her way up through client-facing roles. Before Black Bear, Victoria built her career at two nonprofits focused on market-based solutions to climate change. She started at The Carbon War Room, Sir Richard Branson's climate NGO, where she worked on decarbonizing the maritime shipping industry. After The Carbon War Room was acquired by Rocky Mountain Institute, Victoria shifted her focus to corporate virtual PPAs, working directly with Fortune 500 companies that were early adopters of large-scale clean energy procurement. RMI was also an original seed funder of Black Bear Energy, which is how she connected with Drew Torbin and eventually joined the team. Black Bear Energy is now owned by Legence, a Blackstone portfolio company that went public through an IPO in September 2025.

Small to break down how business acquisitions, commercial real estate, and tax strategy work together as a unified play for building and sustaining generational wealth.

Washington's Proposed Millionaires Tax (SB 6346) and the "Seattle Tax Stack": Mechanics, Migration, and Real Estate Impacts Industrial Advisors Podcast hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor discuss Washington's proposed "Millionaires Tax," SB 6346, a 9.9% tax on household income above $1 million, noting it can effectively hit dual-income households and "lumpy" stock-based compensation. They describe a cumulative Seattle "tax stack" (9.9% state, 5% social housing, 2.4% JumpStart, 0.58% WA Cares) exceeding 18% before federal taxes, potentially reaching 55–60% total, and argue it could influence jobs, investment, sports free agents, and real estate demand, including taxation of Washington-sourced income for nonresidents. Using an AI-generated deep dive built from documents, the episode compares migration and revenue dynamics in New York and California, explains domicile-planning timelines, highlights QSBS (Section 1202) as a potential shelter, and emphasizes the risk that the $1 million threshold could be lowered, especially if tech valuations fall and projected revenues miss. 0:00 Cold open: the $1M household threshold 0:46 Introduction to Washington's proposed millionaires tax 2:08 RSUs, deferred income, and one-time tax events 3:10 Seattle's 18% local tax stack explained 5:31 Commercial real estate and Washington-sourced income 7:00 Investor demand, property values, and economic ripple effects 8:01 Why Bill and Matt used AI for this episode 10:15 AI deep dive: tax flight and wealth migration 11:19 Washington as a national tax policy test case 14:32 Revenue projections and the 21,000 filer base 15:22 The Seattle tax stack breakdown 16:50 Federal taxes and the 55%–60% combined burden 18:47 The real estate exemption in SB 6346 19:37 Lessons from Los Angeles Measure ULA 22:57 Luxury housing demand and high-net-worth buyer risk 24:11 2028 effective date and relocation planning 26:35 RSUs and "lumpy vesting" risk for tech workers 28:05 The marriage penalty in the proposed tax structure 30:06 QSBS as a potential shelter for founders 33:13 California, New York, and wealth migration data 36:38 Remote work and the new mobility of high earners 38:47 Why the $1M threshold may not stay fixed 41:04 Massachusetts and the risk of expanding the tax base 43:29 Tech market correction risk and revenue shortfalls 44:32 Final takeaway: the "leaky bucket" problem 45:06 Closing comments

Stronger Together: How Baby Booty Is Redefining Parenthood Fitness In this episode of the Boulos Beat, guest host Sasha Phillips sits down with Molly DeLong Brubaker to discuss how she transformed her background in startup marketing and her experience as a new mom into Baby Booty—a fitness and community platform designed for parents. What began during COVID as virtual workouts quickly evolved into in-person classes, built around a simple idea: parents need a space where they can work out, connect, and show up as they are—without leaving their babies behind. Baby Booty blends functional fitness with real-life parenting, offering classes where children are welcome and community is central. Each session combines a workout with dedicated time for connection, creating a supportive “third space” for parents to rebuild strength and identity. The business has grown largely through word-of-mouth, with many instructors coming from within the community, reinforcing its authentic and deeply personal culture. A key part of their conversation also highlights the real estate journey behind the brand's growth. Molly shares how moving from pop-up classes to a permanent studio required finding a space with easy access, ample parking, and a welcoming layout suited for parents with young children. With her first location in Portland and a second in Massachusetts, she reflects on navigating different markets, negotiating leases, and adapting spaces to fit her vision. As she explores expansion in southern Maine and considers franchising, real estate strategy remains central to scaling Baby Booty's unique community-driven model.
