Podcast appearances and mentions of Drew Williams

Most Colorado investors have never seriously considered industrial real estate. At first, it feels like a different world — big buildings, commercial tenants, unfamiliar terminology. But once you understand how the asset class actually works, it starts to look a lot like the multifamily investing you already know, just with fewer headaches. To start, industrial real estate covers a wide range. On one end you have a 2,000 square foot bay rented to an HVAC company. On the other end, million square foot distribution centers broken into 20,000-50,000 square foot bays. For individual investors, though, the sweet spot is the middle — small-bay multi-tenant buildings in the $1-4 million range where spaces run 1,500 to 5,000 square feet. These attract the same kinds of small businesses that keep renewing: trade contractors, lumber companies, light manufacturers. Tenants that need space and don’t want to move. And in a triple net lease, those tenants pay your taxes, your insurance, and your maintenance costs. You collect the check. That’s where Drew Williams comes in. Drew is an industrial and retail broker at North Peak Commercial Brokers in Denver. Over the last four years he’s focused on exactly this segment of the market — multi-tenant industrial along the Front Range — and in this episode he walks through the asset class from the ground up. Deal types, tenant profiles, how to read a cap rate, what flex industrial actually means, and how to think about risk when you’re underwriting a business instead of a household. From there, the conversation turns to where the 2026 Denver industrial real estate market stands right now. Prices have pulled back. The ask-to-close gap has averaged 15% over the last 12 months. Meanwhile, rents have held flat at $12-13 per square foot triple net while expenses have climbed. On top of that, lenders now want 35-40% down and a 1.3 DSCR. It sounds like a tough market — and in some ways it is. Still, Drew explains why these conditions are also creating real opportunities for buyers who know how to find them. In This Episode We Cover: What industrial real estate actually is — deal types, tenant profiles, and the difference between small bay, flex, and single tenant The three buyer profiles — passive investor, owner-user, and syndication group — with real Denver deal examples How triple net leases work and why tenants pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance Where the 2026 Denver industrial real estate market stands — cap rates, rents, price per square foot, and the 15% ask-to-close gap The value-add playbook — converting gross leases to triple net and recovering expenses landlords have been absorbing for years The three physical features that make a Denver industrial building significantly easier to lease and sell The zoning trap that turns a promising purchase into an expensive mistake If industrial real estate has ever been on your radar but felt too unfamiliar to pursue, this episode is the place to start — and if you’re already looking at the 2026 Denver industrial real estate market, Drew gives you the ground-level data to move with confidence.

This week, we welcome Bishop Drew Williams from All Saints Church Amesbury, preaching from Isaiah 45:1–5, alongside reflections from Hosea 11, Luke 1:78–79, Romans 7, Isaiah 54:2–4, and the wider story of redemption .Centering on God's promise to give “treasures of darkness” (Isaiah 45), Bishop Drew unpacks the historical moment of Israel's exile and Cyrus' unlikely role in their restoration—revealing how God brings hidden treasure out of places of defeat. But this isn't just ancient history. It's a deeply personal promise. The same God who broke open Babylon's vaults now enters the hidden, shame-filled vaults of our own hearts.With pastoral warmth and theological depth, Bishop Drew explores how trauma, sin, and shame drive us into secrecy—and how Jesus meets us there, not with wrath, but with compassion. Drawing from Hosea's declaration that God's “compassion grows warm and tender,” and Luke's image of the “Dayspring from on high,” we are reminded that grace is not a substance to be rationed—it is a Person who abounds toward us.This message is a call to step out of hiding. The darkness we fear may actually be the place where Jesus reveals His mercy most clearly. What feels like failure can become treasure. What feels like shame can become testimony. And what feels like the end may, in Christ, be the ignition of calling and destiny.In the power of the cross, Bishop Drew invites us to trust the slow, gentle work of healing—piece by piece—and to move forward with courage. Because in Jesus, we are not disgraced, not abandoned, and not disqualified. We are called by name.

A 911 call came in from a Florida motel pool reporting a possible drowning — but the man on scene said no one had drowned… and couldn't explain where his fiancée was.What police uncovered next involved infidelity, threats, a sudden breakup, and a woman found soaked, shaking, and pointing straight at the man she said tried to kill her. This is the case of Drew Williams, the Capri Motel pool, and the five minutes that almost ended in murder.Listen now to this Florida Man Friday.**************************************Do you have thoughts about this case, or is there a specific true crime case you'd like to hear about? Let me know with an email or a voice message: https://murderandlove.com/contactFind the sources used in this episode and learn more about how to support Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide and gain access to even more cases, including bonus episodes, ad-free and intro-free cases, case files and more at: https://murderandlove.comMusic:℗ lesfreemusicBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/love-and-murder-heartbreak-to-homicide--4348896/support.

Who reigns in your life? This Sunday, in his message "Who Reigns?", Drew Williams unpacks how sin and death enslave us through lies, shame, and broken cycles — and how serving sin allows death to rule over us. But Jesus came to break the power of sin and death once and for all. When we let Christ reign, His truth sets us free from the lies that keep us bound, and we step into true freedom, grace, and righteousness. This message is an invitation to let Him reign fully in our lives — and to allow Him to receive His full reward in us. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Just like a seed that must be buried to grow, our lives are meant to be planted by God. This Sunday, Drew Williams reminded us that being planted often means taking up our cross and letting go of our own desires. It can feel uncomfortable or even painful, as we surrender to what God wants for us. But it's in this “burial” that we begin to find new life and purpose. This isn't just a one-time choice; it's an invitation to embrace a lifelong journey of following Christ and discovering the fruit He intends for us. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

This Sunday, Drew Williams preached on the significance of water baptism. Just as Jesus demonstrated in His own life, we are invited to embrace the transformative gift of baptism, where we enter one way and emerged renewed. Drew reminds and encourages us that in this powerful declaration of faith, there is mercy, deliverance, destiny, and salvation. Whether you've already been baptized, wish to rededicate your life to the Lord, or are taking this important step for the first time, we remember that Jesus is at the center of it all, allowing us to live in the reality of what He has accomplished for us. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

This Sunday, Drew Williams spoke to the importance and impact of our thought life in his message, "What Are You Thinking?". Drew unpacked what the Word says about the power of our thoughts in shaping not only our beliefs about ourselves and others but also our relationship with the Lord. As sons and daughters, we are confronted with a pivotal question: are our minds being renewed and transformed according to His truth, or are we conforming to the patterns of this world? Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Introduction: Welcome to Five & Thrive: a weekly podcast highlighting the Southeast's most interesting news, entrepreneurs, and information of the week, all under 5 minutes.  My name is Jon Birdsong and I'm with Atlanta Ventures. Beta Product of the Week: Just yesterday morning, the iStory team launched their product on ProductHunt and it has been well received. Stephen Malik, Chris Hall, and team, have put an interactive product out there to help content creators improve audience experience through voice. How do they do it? Imagine you have a website that sells a product, with the easy use of iStory, you can add your unique voice to any part of the website. So as a user experiences your site, whether it be a video demo or a specific web page, adding audio with analytics is performed by iStory. Check out their website, demo, and if it peaks your interest enough, upvote them on Product Hunt.  The Second Beta Product of the week is Any Distance who just launched their 3.0 version which includes features making it the most safe and secure activity tracking app in the market, while still keeping their superior design. If you run, bike, or walk, Any Distance is the app for you to prioritize celebration and maintain motivation.   Event of the Week: Mark your calendars for the last Atlanta Startup Convos of the year on December 7th. It's amazing how much that MeetUp group has organically grown with over 2700 members in the MeetUp. Three very exciting products will be shown including Gatsby which we've covered on this pod before, Lavender, and The Gig Room. Jacey Cadet of Atlanta Ventures runs and hosts this informative and insightful event. Mark your calendars today.    Alpha Product of the Week: This week's Alpha product of the week comes from entrepreneur Drew Williams of FANFUNDR. The product is still early, but the community driven mechanisms are very interesting and I believe Drew as entrepreneur will create some magic in the space. Here is how it works: let's say you're a fan of an artist and you have an idea about creating a unique event, product, or piece of content you'd like to see your cherished artist produce. With FANFUNDR, the mechanisms are in place to dream the idea, generate a petition, gain a groundswell of fans who love the idea, begin collecting payments to fund the concept, and generate enough momentum to make the experience or product happen. This product is still very early and Drew is entertaining several ways to make the process seamless, even looking at digital assets to purchase as a way to kick start the momentum. Regardless, check out FanFundr, sign up for the product updates, and keep in touch with the evolution of this journey.   Companies Worth Applying Too:  This week I was speaking with a junior engineer looking to work for an early stage company. Outside of suggesting different engineering groups he should connect with as well as combing through some of the fastest growing companies in Georgia on the Inc 5000, the Atlanta Tech Village job boards came to mind. I went to check it out and in addition to several Carpool Logistics roles we mentioned last week, there are more companies hiring including ePlannerPro, ByteCheck, and more coming! Shout out to Irena and Aly for keeping this job board fresh!  Market Analysis of the Week: For those who have listened or read more of our content from Atlanta Ventures, you know the importance of markets. One of our very talented interns, Divya Pinnaka, put together an insightful analysis on the carbon footprint market not only today but in 10 years. She also highlights the companies already working on the problem. The saying is “pick a niche to get rich” is true, but picking a niche that will grow into an even bigger market is the cream of the crop. To me the carbon footprint market is vast. In Greenzie's sense, it would be like outdoor robotics, but even then an entrepreneur still needs to focus on a very real and specific pain point. In Greenzie's case, the pain point is the cost of repetitive labor solved by automating 52-72 commercial lawn mowers. What is that equivalent in the carbon footprint market? Only additional customer discovery and research will tell. Start with Divya's post, linked in the show notes.  Annnnd, that's 5 minutes. Thank you for listening to Five and Thrive. We provide 5 minutes of quality information, so you can thrive in the upcoming week. Please subscribe to the show and spread the good word!  Resources discussed in this episode: Beta Product of the Week: iStory, Any Distance Event of the Week: Meetup with Gatsby, Lavender, and Gig Room Alpha Product of the Week:  FANFUNDR Companies Worth Applying Too: ATV Job Board Market Analysis of the Week: Carbon Footprint Market Analysis
