ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and messaging expert Brandon Lucero for a powerful deep-dive into what really makes content convert. We go beyond surface-level strategies and into the psychology of messaging that drives demand—without relying on hype or constant how-to posts. Brandon breaks down his three levels of trust that every business needs to build with its audience, and how to shift from over-teaching to creating true resonance and relevance. We talk about how to stop overwhelming your audience, the difference between encyclopedic content and TED Talk-level impact, and why self-identifying content is one of the most effective ways to generate demand before ever mentioning your offer. Brandon also shares practical examples of how to structure your messaging, content, and even Reels to attract aligned clients who are ready to buy—not just engage.

Intellect is important. Using your expertise to really showcase and break down processes in a logical way that is digestible for someone to understand is important, but that doesn't always lead to a sale. In fact, a lot of times that can kind of put you in the friend zone where people are engaging with your content. Maybe they find you valuable. They find you inspiring, they think that you're really smart, but they're not buying from you.” - Julie Solomon  “   When it comes to information, I always talk about teaching concepts. Don't teach them how to actually do something, but what's the concept they need to learn? And then if you follow it up with like a metaphor or analogy or something like that, now the brain automatically goes, oh, that makes sense.

In part two of our interview Arno Michaelis, we navigate the bizarre intersection of music, ideology, and redemption. If you've ever wondered how extremist movements actually work, this offers some great insight. Arno gives us the inside scoop on how a skinhead band like Centurion shifted 20,000 records whilst still getting royally ripped off by their label boss. We also chat about right wing ideology and symbolism, as Arno discusses how antisemitism serves as what "the connective tissue" that binds seemingly opposing extremist groups together. We delve into the psychological mechanics too. Taking in everything from Norse fantasy to Tolkien, as well as the very large psychological leaps bands like Skrewdriver had to take to justify playing rock n roll music and Jewish cabaret tunes. Arno also talks about how the music of the Beastie Boys was something of a saving grace as he exited the movement, and he tells us about how a MySpace message in the early 00s regarding his former band, Centurion, led him to reckon with the legacy of poison he created. Whilst also giving him the impetus to try to be a force for good in the world. Grab a cuppa and dive in.

Is America really bringing manufacturing back? And what does that mean for real estate investors? In this episode of REady2Scale, Jeannette Friedrich is joined by Patrick Sentner, Executive Vice President at Colliers and longtime expert in office and industrial real estate. Together, they unpack how reshoring, power constraints, tenant behavior, and capital markets are transforming industrial and office site selection in 2025. From the behind-the-scenes dynamics of data centers to the rising cost of office buildouts, this conversation is full of actionable insights for passive investors, brokers, and developers navigating today's complex commercial real estate landscape. Key Takeaways: - Onshoring is real, but power access now drives site selection. Tenants increasingly prioritize megawatt availability over geography due to AI and advanced manufacturing needs. - States are becoming selective with incentives. Locations offering jobs with strong wages are winning competitive bids, while others shy away from low-job-impact data centers. - Private equity is betting big on data center land. Investors are securing power-ready sites even before corporate tenants commit. - Office buildouts now cost double. Tenants are facing $75 to $80 per square foot for basic improvements, driving new lease structuring and rate negotiations. - Cap rates diverge by asset type. Class A office properties are seeing steep declines in value, some with cap rates as high as 15 percent, while industrial assets vary by location but are ticking up again. - Blend and extend lease strategies are surging. Tenants are renegotiating terms for lower rates or rent relief in exchange for longer lease commitments, often amid distressed debt situations. - Lenders are becoming de facto landlords. More tenants are navigating lease agreements directly with receivers and banks as buildings change hands. - Conversions to housing are rarely viable. Despite calls to convert vacant office space into housing, construction costs and layout limitations often make it financially unfeasible. - What passive investors should look for: Poorly capitalized buildings with strong physical infrastructure may offer distressed buying opportunities, especially if acquired directly from lenders at a steep discount. This episode offers a rare, inside look at where industrial and office markets are heading and how investors can navigate the road ahead.
