It’s about building a better normal for everyone.” WLI is hosting a Reset Symposium, on May 19th, in efforts to cultivate an on-going feedback loop for participants to build community, share insights and knowledge, test and iterate on solutions in a post pandemic city. This symposium is a conversation inviting diverse and multidisciplinary perspectives on the collective realization, reckoning and reset needed for cities to build back better. Gail Borthwick and Andrea Katz discuss with Saira Muzaffar, the catalyst for the reset symposium, the unique format of the symposium - blurring the lines between experts and participants - and the outcomes they hope to achieve. WLI’s Reset Symposium will be occurring virtually on May 19th, registration is available on ULI Toronto Events Page: https://toronto.uli.org/events/detail/850609E0-456E-4CD6-922C-211F40B7CDF9/

On this weeks episode, I chat with Ambassador Dr. Kema Chikwe,  a dynamic politician, distinguished public administrator, educationist, gender and social engineer and activist, writer and diplomat.   She is the Founder and Chairperson of the Women Leadership Institute (WLI) - WLI  is an international leadership development organization focused on developing the leadership capacity of women across Africa. Dr. Chikwe shared memories from her childhood and insights into her approach to parenting. She reflected on her career accomplishments, the gap she identified in governance  and the work she is doing through WLI to close that gap- raising a critical mass of women who are leadership conscious and equipping them with the skills they need. Dr. Chikwe studied French at the Advanced Teachers' College Owerri and obtained a further degree in French from Queens College, City University of New York. She has a doctorate in Curriculum Education from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.Dr. Chikwe is a renowned writer; her books are included in both the Nigerian and American curriculum. The books include Kema Chikwe: Across Borders, Women of My Era, Village Boys, First School Day for Adaeze, Kame Chameleon tours the garden, My Precious Book and other publications.  She served as Nigerian Ambassador to Ireland from 2008-2011, a former  Nigerian Federal Minister of Transportation and Federal Minister of Aviation. The first woman to hold either position in Nigeria.

BE SURE TO SEE THE SHOWNOTES AND LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE HERE Eve Picker: [00:00:15] Hi there, thanks for joining me on Rethink Real Estate. I'm on a mission to make real estate work for everyone. Real estate can help to solve climate change, can house people affordably, can create beautiful streetscapes, unify neighborhoods and enliven cities. So I'm on a journey to find the most creative thinkers and doers out there. I'm not the only one who wants to rethink real estate. You can learn more about me at EvePicker.com or you can find me at SmallChange.co, a real estate crowdfunding platform with impact real estate investment opportunities open for investment right now. And if you want to support this podcast, join me at Patreon.com/rethinkrealestate, where there are special opportunities for my friends and followers.   Eve: [00:01:29] Today, I'm talking with Libby Seifel. Libby's life is built around big causes. She has spent much of it professionally focused on affordable housing and much of it personally focused on women. Libby's interest in housing came about when she lived through gentrification in her own neighborhood in Boston. There she saw her own godmother pushed out of her apartment into distressed public housing, and that convinced her that mixed income housing was a far better solution. She went on to get degrees at MIT in Planning and Urban Studies and became the founding Executive Director of Tent City Corporation, a non-profit developer of a ULI, award winning, mixed income housing development in downtown Boston. At that time, mixed income housing and sustainable development were considered somewhat of an oddball concept, says Libby. Now they're widely accepted as good planning. And then she founded her own firm. She was the only woman in the room when she started her career. Today, that has changed a little, but not nearly enough for Libby, who has founded a quickly growing women's development collaborative to support women developers. I'm a member of the Women's Development Collaborative, so I've seen firsthand the strength of Libby's focus. If you'd like to join me in my quest to rethink real estate, there are two simple things you can do.

Thanks for joining me.   Libby Seifel: [00:03:38] Thank you.   Eve: [00:03:39] So I've known you for quite some time. I was trying to remember how long that was, but I just couldn't. It's been a long time. But still, I was really surprised when I read your resume and you've done so much and there's probably more that you haven't talked about, which I'm hoping we're going to talk about today. But I wanted to start with a quote I read that you were going to be a doctor and and I'm wondering what happened.   Libby: [00:04:07] That's interesting story. So, I think what happened was that I got really, really interested in urban planning and I was actually talking with somebody about this recently that I had the great fortune of having Lewis Mumford as one of my professors, my freshman year in college. And I was coincidentally reading The City and History, which is his famous book. And he was such a wonderful storyteller and really conveyor of what was going on in the earlier part of the 20th century with respect to thinking about what cities could be and how they could be. And so he looked at it both historically and as a visionary, and he was very dedicated to sustainable development. About having development that was holistic, where people could walk to, walk in their communities to the grocery store where they could live together.   Eve: [00:05:16] And that was before this was the thing, right?   Libby: [00:05:18] This was before it was a thing. This was, yeah, it was. I mean, there's, we can talk about the criticism and there are pieces about the movement that he was part of that was very white focused. So I want to just say that up front. And I understand and and that but this sort of it was kind of the city beautiful, but it was really more country beautiful movement. He lived for it pretty much his whole life after he moved out of New York City, in Amenia, New York, which is an absolutely beautiful part of New York. And if you've never driven up the Hudson Valley, it is absolutely exquisite. And Amenia is off the Hudson Valley inland. And it's a beautiful farming community near the border of Connecticut and on, coincidentally, a rail line that goes into New York City.   Eve: [00:06:11] I've been on that train. It's fabulous.   Libby: [00:06:13] You've been on that train. So you know what I'm what I'm talking about. So, and my uncle's an architect, so my mother never wanted me to be an architect or an urban planner, which is what I am now. She wanted me to be a doctor and specifically she wanted me to be an ophthalmologist. So I was like, no, but I love visual arts and I love visual science. And I actually studied that. So alongside of studying urban planning, I studied neurophysiology and urban, just a lot of urban studies. And and I prepared to be a doctor. And I finally convinced my mom that if I got a master's in urban planning alongside of my undergraduate degree, I'd be so much more competitive to be a doctor. So, so that's the funny story. But on a more serious note, I was able to study with Dr. Land at Polaroid on visual art and visual science. And I have a very deep appreciation for the arts and colors in particular. And I like the idea of creating a colorful world where we all can participate and be part of this. You know, it's the utopic view, but my life is really dedicated to making the world a better place. That's what I try to do.   Eve: [00:07:41] That's wonderful.   Libby: [00:07:41] And I think Lewis Mumford and people like him are just very inspirational to us in this field.   Eve: [00:07:50] You were lucky.   Libby: [00:07:50] And I wouldn't really be here without him. And then actually the other clincher to all of this was that - it's a story that kind of leads into my career - is that I moved to Boston, I went to school in Cambridge at MIT, and I moved to Boston with my college roommate, who's now still a very good friend of mine and a real estate developer and investor. And we moved into the South End neighborhood of Boston, which is a really incredible neighborhood now. And then when we moved in there, it was a neighborhood very much in transition and it was a neighborhood very affected by urban renewal. And these were the times when wholesale displacement of people occurred, where they were moved out of their homes. Where a vibrant neighborhood that had been very colorful and dynamic, was changed through urban renewal, and the community had been promised development as part of their protests against urban renewal. They had formed a tent city in protest to say we did not want to be moved. And a group of folks reenacted this tent city event, this demonstration, and I was coincidentally in college at the time and was at a studio that was dedicated to working on studying this site called Tent City, which was the site where this protest had occurred. And so I took the studio and I was forever transformed. I got very involved with the community. I was living there. We really wanted to make this housing happen. We wanted it as mixed income housing. We wanted it to be a resource for the people who have been displaced in the community. And we wanted it to be a place where people of all income levels could live together in a great, absolutely great site in Boston, right next to that Back Bay Station, which ultimately got built. I mean, that's part of my whole history, but ultimately got built with that vision and that dedication of that group of people totally transformed my life.   Eve: [00:10:14] And that also got a ULI award, right?   Libby: [00:10:17] It did. It did. It got a ULI award. And it is great to visit. It's right next to Copley Place. There's a whole story about Copley Place. We could talk about later if you wanted, but it's next door to Copley Place. It's next door to Back Bay Station, which is where the Amtrak station is and the light rail. And it's also next door to the moved underground railway that used to be an elevated railway, a streetcar through Boston, through the South End in a southern part of the South End which was then put into an underground tunnel. And on top of it is the most amazing set of community gardens.   Eve: [00:10:57] Yes, I've been in them. They're stunning.   Libby: [00:10:58] You've been in them. And the walkway...   Eve: [00:11:01] That was the Big Dig, right?   Libby: [00:11:02] Yeah, well, it's not the Big Dig, but the Big Dig is amazing. The Big Dig is over by the waterfront of Boston. This is actually in the Back Bay, South End, part of Boston. It's the orange line. And you wouldn't know because you're going underneath it if you're riding it. But it is on top of it. There are these amazing community gardens.   Eve: [00:11:25] The gardens are gorgeous.   Libby: [00:11:27] Yeah.   Eve: [00:11:27] Including, you know, community vegetable gardens.   Libby: [00:11:31] Exactly and each neighborhood block actually participated in the design of each garden and walkway at the end of their block. Another mentor and person that got me into this was Ken Kirkmeyer, who lived in the South End, who was the President of Tent City Task Force. And he was actually the project manager that spearheaded this project and worked with the neighbors to create this marvelous place to walk the South End corridor.   Eve: [00:12:04] So Boston and all that really formed your professional path. And where did that lead you? Where are you now?   Libby: [00:12:12] So I now live in San Francisco, across the country.   Eve: [00:12:18] Very different.   Libby: [00:12:20] Yes. But I think sister cities. We're on the water. We have a long history of progressive politics. Though, it's quite different out here than it is in Boston and a very, very strong set of values when it comes to preserving history, to recognize the importance of neighborhoods and community and thoughtfulness about design. A lot of architects and designers. In fact, when I when I was making the decision to leave Boston and come out here, I can't tell you how many people told me not to come because there's way too many planners out here, urban planners and architects and real estate economists. And it was going to be very hard to move, unfortunately, chose the time to move, which was one of the recessionary times we had across the industry. But it all worked out and I love it here. It's a beautiful city and the Bay Area is an absolutely lovely place to be. And there are so many challenges and I thrive on challenges. So there are so many urban challenges in the Bay Area to work on.   Eve: [00:13:34] What sort of challenges? What do you work on?   Libby: [00:13:36] Well, first, you know, like in Boston, but even worse, the cost of housing is just phenomenal out here and out of reach of so many people. And it exacerbates the haves and the have nots. So that's a big challenge that I work on a lot, both as a volunteer and in my profession. It's also that we have we have to be very conscious of sea level rise, much of the Bay area is on water, as it makes sense, we're on the bay. We're on the ocean, San Francisco straddles the Pacific Ocean and the San Francisco Bay. And so, we're virtually surrounded by water on three sides. And we have the possibility of our downtown in San Francisco being underwater in the not-too-distant future. The history of San Francisco, like Boston, there's a lot of the city is on fill. We have natural hills that we took down, many of them to build fill, and we filled in a lot of the areas that when you come to visit San Francisco and you're walking around that land used to be either marshland or ocean, very deep ocean or bay. So actually bay, not ocean, but through the ocean, water intrudes. So that's a big challenge. We also have earthquakes. Just to keep things interesting. So that shakes us up every once in a while. And we're at risk of an earthquake, particularly in the East Bay, happening again. So we have to be very conscious of resilience in so many ways. So that makes our our life challenging. And we have we have it's an absolute blessing and a curse. As many people say, we have the most amazing set of folks in technology. I mean, many of whom are M.I.T. alums and Stanford alums who have formed this tech corridor and biotech corridor that we have all through the through the Bay Area Peninsula and Silicon Valley, which is absolutely amazing and makes our economy incredibly strong and robust. And California's incredibly strong and robust. But alongside of that, it ends up pushing up the price of land and the price of development so it can make it very hard for small businesses to be successful. Sometimes small retail businesses, the rents can get very expensive. That can make it more difficult for them. So, we have a lot of challenges.   Eve: [00:16:18] So how does that like, how does that color the work that you do? You now have your own company, right? And you do consulting work? And is it mostly around affordable housing or what challenges do you confront in that work?   Libby: [00:16:33] Great question. So, I do a lot more than affordable housing work, but my passion and heart is around affordable housing. I just want to say on one of my volunteer efforts, because I want people to know about this, I'm the co-chair of the Utilized San Francisco Housing the Bay Steering Committee, and we are dedicated to promoting and producing more housing in the Bay Area through our work. And we have an upcoming summit that's happening June 2nd, 3rd and 4th. This will be our fourth summit that we've had where we bring together a very diverse group of speakers from around the world and the United States to talk about the Bay Area's housing situation, but also more generally, the housing situation across the United States and what are great strategies and tools and best practices that we can use to improve our housing situation. Which includes building all types of housing for all types of people. It's very invigorating to be part of the housing the Bay effort. And this summit always inspires me every year to do more. And in my practice, I work with a lot of cities and developers that are dedicated to building affordable housing and mixed income housing, which is even tougher to do. Tent City was able to hit the timing right with the funding and the commitment by the city to make that mixed income housing development happen. And it had a unique location, but it's been it's very difficult to get the funding together and the financing that is necessary to do mixed income housing at scale. We do have a strong inclusionary housing set of regulations, but here in many cities in the Bay Area, so we do a lot of work and inclusionary housing, which means that a portion of housing is restricted for occupancy or dedicated to occupancy by persons of usually very low, low and moderate income, which is HUD speak is federal housing agency speak for people that earn typically less than the rest of us or about the same.   Eve: [00:19:05] Critical for the function of the city, right?   Libby: [00:19:08]  Right.   Eve: [00:19:09] Often service workers and ...   Libby: [00:19:11] Essential workers, yep.   Eve: [00:19:12] And people who keep places going.   Libby: [00:19:15] Yep, exactly.   Eve: [00:19:17] If they live too far out, then those places are not going to work anymore.   Libby: [00:19:20] Exactly. Exactly. And trying to figure out how to do this with the private market. So I work a lot on the private market side. I'm the number cruncher behind the scenes and the strategist trying to work on these projects. And so, we're constantly trying to thread the needle to figure out how can we keep the private market still building housing while including housing for more people of a greater and more diverse set of backgrounds and incomes?   Eve: [00:19:54] Yeah, it's a really big challenge.   Libby: [00:19:58] It's really big.   Eve: [00:20:00] Well, I want to shift gears a little bit, because I also know about another one of your passions, which is also very close to my heart. And that is how to increase the visibility of women in the real estate industry, in particular real estate developers. And so I've kind of watched you over the years put together a little group that's become the Women's Development Collaborative, and it isn't so little anymore. And I wanted to talk about that. Where did this come from? Why did you start it?   Libby: [00:20:35] That's a great question. I guess I mentioned the Urban Land Institute or ULI earlier, and I've been a member of ULI now for, realizing it's been three decades or more. It's an organization that's dedicated to advancing development across the world, globally, and since I've been involved for so many years. When I first got involved, I was often the youngest person in the room and many of these national conferences, and I was often the only woman or one of the few women. And it was very important to me to find, I guess, soul sisters or wise women in this industry. It had been a struggle in my career at different I know, right, to be the only woman. And it was definitely...   Eve: [00:21:31] I was the only woman developer in Pittsburgh for quite a while. So, I ...   Libby: [00:21:35] Yeah. You were? Well, and Eve, I don't know if you remember this, but how we met was we were at a conference for the Women Presidents Organization in San Francisco.   Eve: [00:21:47] Yes.   Libby: [00:21:47] Many, many years ago, and you and I both were involved in that. And that's an organization that's dedicated to women entrepreneurs and building capacity. It's a peer-based group. It actually also inspired the Women's Development Collaborative. So it's worth talking about for a minute in case anybody on the line, a woman entrepreneur, it's a great group.   Eve: [00:22:09] It's a great group.   Libby: [00:22:09] But what was incredibly funny was there's this entire ballroom, one of San Francisco's largest ballrooms, with tables all across it on a Saturday morning with signs on it of like, you know, are you in consumer affairs? Are you in you know? I don't know. Do you do retail product, apparel, whatever? But all across the room, everything. There was one table in real estate, and it was at the table. You and I, we were the only ones at the table.   Eve: [00:22:40] And it's really not a whole lot different today, Libby. What really scares me.   Libby: [00:22:49] It's true. It's true. So, I mean, it's better, we're working very hard at ULI. So the origin story of the Women's Development Collaborative goes back to these times. And ULI, which still often continue but have gotten better because a number of women that were part of this informal network of wise women, soul sisters that came together to meet on a regular basis at the spring and fall meetings of ULI, which are national meetings when we get together across the country. And we would meet, whether it was for dinner or breakfast or whatever, and we would share ideas about development and best practices and what we were doing. And one of my mentors, she said to me, well, you need to we need to do something more than this. Like these women's receptions in these gatherings are fine, but we need to actually make a difference. We need to improve leadership. And so a number of us got together and helped form what's now called the Women's Leadership Initiative, or WLI within ULI, which is dedicated to advancing women's leadership in the entire real estate industry. And that's been phenomenal and that's gone on since 2012. And again, anyone in the real estate industry should follow that because WLI is wonderful. But at the same time, there we had this niche group that was really focused on development and we recognize that development itself, which is part of the entire landscape of real estate, that you needed support and nurturing and showcasing. And so we started to alongside of the WLI activities, I continue to organize with a lot of other women, events around this spring and fall meetings where we would showcase women developers. We'd go tour their projects, we hear from them, we learn from them. And it's just been so inspiring to see these projects.   Eve: [00:25:02] It really has been.   Libby: [00:25:03] And then we had to go virtual because there was no Toronto meeting. And so now we're online. So, you can find us at the Women's Development Collaborative online. And we are really trying to build our presence across the United States and Canada. We have a number of women involved from Canada to really promote and advance women's success, leadership, innovation and collaboration and building transformative developments.   Eve: [00:25:35] I need to tell you, like I I was also a member of ULI for many years, and then I stopped my membership because I really didn't feel like I belonged there, for a couple of reasons. One was the whole woman thing. But also, I was working on quirky, small interstitial urban projects. And when I was a member of ULI just there was there was nothing there was no one talking about that. So I stopped attending. And actually, when you started inviting me to the Women's Development Collaborative meetings was when I decided to join again because I finally felt like there was sort of a space emerging for developers like myself. That and the small-scale development group, which has been also pretty wonderful to see emerge. But I think...   Libby: [00:26:28] Yes, yes.   Eve: [00:26:29] Times are very different, but it is incredibly inspiring what you're doing and you have a lot of stick-to-it-ness. And it's also very frustrating to see how slowly things have changed. I mean, what do you think about that, for women? It's very slow.   Libby: [00:26:43] Yeah, it is really slow, but it is it is getting better bit by bit. You know, it is, I was looking at some data and it is it is improving, but it is very, very hard. And it's I think that, you know, I, I think that a couple of things that we have to think about and think about deeply, which is that in addition particularly to the history of African-Americans in the United States and their inability to first secure and hold property or even keep property right after the civil war. Property was actually stolen away from them, it was often stolen away back from Native Americans as well. So, we have had a history in our country of not respecting and honoring property for persons of color. But at the same time, when we think about the history and it's not just of the United States it's of the world, women were not allowed to own property. And it also varied state by state. And I believe it still does. And a lot of states that there are different rules that make it very hard for women to hold property or to transact. So it's not just discrimination in the sense of how you show up. Like if you're a woman, you're obviously different as you enter a room, but it's also the rules by which we play. So getting through the those rules...   Eve: [00:28:21] Not just the rules, but the culture that those rules perpetuate,   Libby: [00:28:25] Yeah, and the culture.   Eve: [00:28:25] Because even if there are no rules there, you know, I have to say I, I own a small portfolio of buildings and I have two female bankers to thank for it. Without them, I would not own that portfolio of buildings, which is really an extraordinary thing to say, right?   Libby: [00:28:44] It is. It is. And, you know, that's part of what WDC is trying to work on. I mean, we have we have a lot of ambitions and it's and it's hard to even figure out what to prioritize because there's so many challenges. But alongside of really promoting women developers, we want to expand women in the workforce and the development supply chain for developments because of exactly what you said, that we need more women bankers. We need more women equity investors. I mean, that's something we want to talk about, right? That that women just aren't investing as much as men.   Eve: [00:29:24] Oh yeah, women investors. Why do women not invest? I don't understand.   Libby: [00:29:32] Well, and I think it's I think there's a history of this. Like I think there's an education process. I mean, that's partly what WDC is a big part of our mission is to educate. But I'm now recognizing it's not just educating and building up women developers like educating ourselves about each other or, you know, the service providers, introducing them to women developers. It's also about educating the broader community. I was listening to your podcast with Stephanie Gripne and I absolutely loved the conversation that you had about the fact that in essence, you know, part of this is a perception issue that if we think about it, everyone is an investor, as Stephanie said. She said when we make a choice to buy, she used buy milk. That was her analogy. When we buy milk, we make a conscious choice whether we're realizing that it's conscious or not, that we're using milk. We're choosing a type of milk that's sold by a certain company. And we may be choosing it based on price, but we may be choosing it based on the fact that we recognize the farms or the farms where it came from. Or in these days, we might be making a choice not to buy cow milk. We might be buying almond milk or soy milk, and we may be looking at how that was grown. So we have to, I think women are the biggest consumers in our country. So struck by this, after I listened to that podcast, that we are the ones that we lead the buying. If you look at all the consumer surveys, women are the buyers in our society. We are the retail shoppers. We love to shop. We do comparison shopping, et cetera, et cetera. We need to learn as women how to do the same thing with real estate investment. We need to get educated about it, it's it's a much different world than buying milk, but at the same time it is it is how the milk is, where the milk sits right in our society, these buildings.   Eve: [00:31:49] What's interesting to me, if I think about researching where milk comes from, so I can make an informed decision, that makes my brain hurt compared to understanding a real estate project and what I might invest in. So I think it's partly what you're trained in, what you learn, how you're educated. It's not I don't think it's harder to do. It's just different.   Libby: [00:32:12] Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're absolutely right. It's it's not harder to do. It's just different. But we're not educated in it. I mean, I don't know how you feel about this, but I never learned really what I do today. Like when I was in school, they didn't teach me what I what I practice right now. I learned real estate by reading books, honestly.   Eve: [00:32:39] Oh. How did I learn Securities Law? Yes, yeah.   Libby: [00:32:46] Yeah, exactly. Like reading books so and getting educated in it. And now I mean I'm grateful. I'm able to teach, I'm teaching now at UC Berkeley. I'm a lecturer part time, but I just absolutely love being able to teach. And what I recognize is I teach public private partnerships, which is a lot of my work is how to get the public in the private sector to work together, whether it's on a deal that the public sector is sponsoring or whether it's just a deal a private developer wants to do. And they need the support of the public sector, which is pretty much every project ever.   Eve: [00:33:24] Yes, that's right.   Libby: [00:33:26] Especially in the Bay Area. If you don't have public support, you're not going to get your project. And what I recognize is there are so there are so few classes that actually teach people how to do this and how to do it well or how to do real estate development and how to do it well. Luckily, ULI has offers a lot. And as you said, the you know, the small scale development council, that they focus on that and have some great trainings through ULI. But it is not something that is taught to the average person. It's not like we go to school and we learn about how buildings are built.   Eve: [00:34:03] Right.   Libby: [00:34:03] And so I think we have to start to educate the general population and in our case with the women's development, collaborative women in particular, and including women in our field, because what I'm even finding out is through the WDC, I've been asking women like, do you invest in real estate? And the answer is often is pretty much no, we don't we don't know. We don't know how to do it. We don't understand it. So that's a mission for someone in our and where...   Eve: [00:34:39] I can sense a class coming along that you and I can conduct.   Libby: [00:34:43] Exactly. I'm so excited about this. I really want to do this, Eve this spring or summer. I want to do a class in how to invest in real estate and why. It's like how to invest in real estate and why should we care and why should we do it. And I think it's critical.   Eve: [00:35:01] Yeah, it's also something else about real estate, you know, that I think over the last few decades, everyone's been trained to think about quick returns. And real estate isn't that. You just have to think about the long haul.   Libby: [00:35:19] Right.   Eve: [00:35:20] And I'm always stunned when I hear from people saying I invested there and they're going to give me my money back in six months. Can I do that in real estate? And I'm like, no, what can you do in six months in real estate? It's, it's a different thought process.   Libby: [00:35:38] It's absolutely a different thought process. And I also think that the real estate is much more long term in the investment horizon that many capital providers, meaning institutional and private investment capital, which is what fuels a lot of real estate development in the United States and across the world. It is usually focused on five-to-seven-year time horizons. And in terms of equity investment, a lot of the money that is coming in. So, their preference is that they can make their money back, they can get their money back and a return within a five-to-seven-year horizon. And that puts you on the one hand, it puts a certain discipline in the market, but it also means that it goes at counter purposes for, you know, the idea of patient capital, because buildings are they're going to I mean, if we build them well, they should last for a very long time, if not forever, like they do in Europe. And some buildings have a lifetime. Kind of you think at a minimum of 50 years, if we're doing a good job, that should be the minimum life and hopefully it's much longer than that. So the time horizons have to be much longer. But as you said, you know, in many consumer markets, it's a much shorter time horizon, six months or a year. It is just not it's not realistic in real estate.   Eve: [00:37:15] Tell me, how much has WDC grown since you started it? How many members how many of your meetings and what do you do now that it's covid-19.   Libby: [00:37:28] Right. Right. So so first of all, we are very much still a start-up organization. We're reaching out to anyone that's interested in joining, please Google Women's Development Collaborative and reach out. Our organization has about I guess we have 400 to 500 women on our email list and our LinkedIn group now I think it's around 300 people. So it's still very much a growing group. Our meetings are intentionally intimate and small, usually 30 to 40, maybe 50 people, 50 women. We are intentionally keeping this focused on women. We are trying to think about how do we bring in men as allies, because that's critical, particularly as we start to think about some of our next goals of what we want to do as an organization. But the goal of WDC is to really build our capacity and to create a safe space for us to as women, to be able to provide advice and guidance to other women and to be open about our deals and what we're what we're experiencing and to provide advice. So that's the scale we're at. And I think to myself, how big do we really want to be? Do we want to be another ULI? What is the scale that we really want to be at, and I and I think it's a, it's a question that we have to ponder as the group of us, because I think we cherish having the ability to know one another and to get to know one another. So, we want to keep that part of WDC alive because it's so important to all of us.   Eve: [00:39:22] So this year, programming is changed because of the, at least last year, because of the pandemic.   Libby: [00:39:27] Yes.   Eve: [00:39:28] And I thought as I watched it, it was sort of an amazing opportunity. To move this group along a bit fast and not be reliant on ULI meetings twice a year and the people who can afford to show up there.   Libby: [00:39:42] Yes, yes, that's true. It is. That is one thing about being online that we can provide better access to, just across the country and people can access it. We will definitely keep an online program, even if we could hopefully go back to meeting in person, maybe even as early as this fall in Chicago at ULI. But what we what we have right now are a series of programs that we've been evolving. You do such an amazing job at Small Change in branding. I've learned so much from you about this.   Eve: [00:40:23] Thank you.   Libby: [00:40:24] And really, it's incredible. And one of the programs that we have very much inspired by you and this podcast, though I didn't even know when I when I was first thinking about it, I didn't even realize you were on this podcast quest. And then when I started talking with you, you actually agreed to be the first person to participate. And it's called In Conversation with Developer. So, it was in conversation with the developer, Eve Picker. And we've done a series of these. And each conversation is just so fascinating like this. Your podcast about how did the women make the decisions they did to be developers, who has provided them support along their way, etc. So those have been really, really inspiring. We also have these project forums that are dedicated to helping women developer and emerging developer present the challenges that she's facing regarding her development project and receive advice from a panel of seasoned professionals to help her overcome these challenges. And thankfully, Eve, you also participated on one of those project forums as well, were you able to be part of a panel to provide advice? We call it kind of instead of a shark tank. It's a guppy tank. It's a place it's a safe space where people can feel comfortable and really get honest advice about how to move forward. So, we've had several of those. We've we're doing three this year. We've had three already last year in the year before. So, we're building our program there. So, if anyone out there is an emerging developer, that's an option for you to consider. And then I'm just going to do one other program. We have a number of others. But the other one I want to talk about is the investment forum, because this is where tying to our discussion earlier, we are really trying to build our collective muscle to invest in and advance successful development partnerships. And that investment forum is featuring conversations with women developers and investors about how deals are done. And it's actually a learning experience for developers and potential investors. So that's what we're dedicated on. And that's the program where I really want us to collaborate on thinking about how. How can we get more women in the investment world?   Eve: [00:43:03] Yes, that's critical. So what are some potential strategies you're thinking about for promoting investment or encouraging women to invest?   Libby: [00:43:16] So we've been working on an investment framework that's a gender lens framework for how we could evaluate investments in women led developments. And that's been a process. We've been very informed by the Small Change metrics and thinking about how crowdfunding could be a potential tool to encourage investment in women led developments. But we also realized that we needed to define what we meant by women led development, and we needed to think about the whole ecosystem, like I talked about earlier, about all the women that could contribute to it. So we're focusing right now on WDC taking on four dimensions of activities to empower women developers to expand economic opportunity, which means expanding women in the workforce and the development supply chain, as we talked about earlier, expanding access to capital. So building on the same theme. So, both getting women, individual women investors to invest in real estate, but also just to promote investment more broadly from men and women and institutional corporations in development. And then we want to make sure that these developments benefit women and communities, and so we've come up with a set of principles and you and I speak. There's a lot of 10 principles books. So, we have 10 principles of transformative development that benefit women and communities. And we're using these four criteria, these four activities, as a way to measure women developers and their development to provide recommendations. So the screening process to provide recommendations to women and to men about developments that they may invest in. So, four lenses are women in leadership in development, women in the supply chain and workforce, women capital providers and benefiting women and communities. And out of these criteria, we developed 10 questions. We spent a long time actually refining these 10 questions that really it was more like 15. We refined it went through a number of rounds. And what's really been great is we had this whole community of women developers who've beta tested this scoring process a lot. And you were one of them. So, thank you so much, Eve.   Eve: [00:45:53] It's great.   Libby: [00:45:54] Women from around the country and we learned a lot through this beta testing. And we think we have an investment framework that can work alongside of the Small Change index and other crowdfunding platform.   Eve: [00:46:09] And other ESG indices, right? Like...   Libby: [00:46:13] Yes.   Eve: [00:46:13] It's a very particular woman-centric real estate lens. It's great.   Libby: [00:46:20] Yeah. And so what we're hoping to do, our next step is that we are really trying to work on the strategies that are going to enable us as a small organization, you know, where can we make impact first and how can we make impact first? But our hope is to actually encourage some individual investment and crowdfunding investment in specific real estate developments that will be placed through this investment framework lens. That's our first goal.   Eve: [00:46:52] It's pretty big.   Libby: [00:46:54] It's a big goal. It's a really big goal.   Eve: [00:46:56] It's a very big goal. So, I have to wrap up and I just have one final question for you, and that is, what are you most excited about right now?   Libby: [00:47:08] It's so many things that I'm working on, but I think what I'm most excited about with WDC and my work generally is just the number of wonderful young and emerging women developers and and women who want to be developers. There is this community of women that are both really younger and older. It's women who've been in their careers in real estate for a number of years. For example, a woman architect who's decided that she wants to be a developer after having been leading her practice for a number of years and is actually her first project, is going to be building a building for herself and her community of professionals that she works with. So the building will be bigger than just her architectural practice. It will include others in it as well. And then younger women developers who are starting out, who are really interested in changing the world and in leading development companies. And it's very exciting to talk to them and hear what they're doing and how they're going about it and trying to support them. We have another colleague that you and I know who is developing is working on a mixed use project in her community that is going to be transformative for that community, be a place where people can gather. And whereas she says one plus one can equal much more than that. And that's Molly McCabe, who you've also interviewed here in your podcast.   Eve: [00:48:50] Yes.   Libby: [00:48:51] So I just thought that constantly inspires me to have to just have that sense that there is this community and this future of women in development that we can encourage and build upon, which is fabulous.   Eve: [00:49:06] Well, thank you so much for your time, Libby. I have really enjoyed our conversation and I'm going to be seeing a lot more of you.   Libby: [00:49:14] Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Thank you so much, Eve.   Eve: [00:49:32] That was Libby Seifel, Libby's career has been one built from her heart. First, she worked on affordable housing concepts that were ground-breaking at the time, having witnessed firsthand how crushing gentrification and displacement can be. And now she is focused on the small number of women in the room. She has puzzled over the years, as have many of us, why there are so few women who take the leap into real estate investment and development. She intends for the Women's Development Collaborative to be a safe place for women who are testing the waters to land. A place where they will be supported by their peers as they emerge as women developers. Please share this podcast so that more women learn about Libby and the Women's Development Collaborative.

This week on IAQ Radio we discuss a topic that gets blood pressure up among some in the restoration world. Third Party Administrators TPAs are a fact of life today in many industries and RIA has been helping their members make the adjustments necessary. This week we welcome two widely respected restoration professionals to IAQ Radio. Mark Springer and Phill Rosebrook are both RIA members and were speakers at the recent RIA Strictly TPAs Fall Conference. We look forward to having them join us along with frequent contributor Pete Consigl. Mark Springer If you know Mark Springer, you probably know when the platitude, How are you doing? comes up in conversation, his likely answer is, Living the dream! Thats because its true. Mark has been married to his high school sweetheart, Angie for 20 years and they have been blessed with five beautiful daughters who, fortunately for Mark, take after their mother. Living in Montana accentuates the dream as he is able to pursue doing things he loves like downhill skiing, bow hunting, competitive shooting, and the mountains in general. Its not all hobbies though, Mark also gets to work all over the great state of Montana helping people who have experienced disasters, primarily from fires and floods. He is the President of Dayspring Restoration, a company that specializes in disaster restoration. Dayspring has 6 locations and about 100 team members. Mark has become a mini, (emphasis on �¢??mini�¢??) celebrity in Montana due to several television advertising campaigns where he flooded and burned his house and then demonstrated to the community the restoration process, (these videos can be viewed at www.calldayspring.com). Giving back to his community and his industry has always been a priority for Mark as he serves on numerous non-profit and trade association committees and boards Phillip Rosebrook Jr., Cr. Phillip is a graduate of the University of Oregons Lundquist School of Business. He worked his way through college in the family restoration business. He filled most all roles in the company including working on the cleaning crew, carpet cleaning, water damage emergency services, and other various restoration and construction related services. He ran the retail and wholesale carpet cleaning division managing several employees and coordinating the installation crews. After college Phillip managed the water damage division and scheduled all company production crews. He managed the branch office in Coos Bay, Oregon and served the Southern Oregon Coast region. The office was in a very rural area of the state with a small population yet the office grew from $300,000 in annual sales to over $1,000,000 under his management. In managing this office he filled every role from Estimator to Marketing Manager. After training the new Manager Phillip returned to the main office with oversight of all branch offices. He served as the Education Committee representative for the Western Chapter of Disaster Kleenup International. In 1997 when the company sold, Phillip moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to assist in opening a new office for Rocky Mountain Catastrophe. He was in charge of training the new manager, developing the marketing campaign, implementing systems and procedures and training the water damage and cleaning staff. The office quickly grew to over $300,000 in monthly sales. Phillip joined his father as a Partner in Business Mentors in March of 1998. He specializes in implementing change in restoration companies. He works with the individual managers, key employees and sometimes even the field staff to implement new systems and procedures. He developed the Operations Manual and Personnel Manual that is utilized in all of Business Mentors consulting. He is a frequent presenter at industry conferences, contributing author to the WLI course book and has authored many articles in Cleaning and Restoration magazine. Phillip is the founding partner of ELC Training a training resource for restoration companies. He is also a faculty member of the Restoration Leadership Institute. Phillip is the father of four children and has been married to Deanna since 2000. He enjoys gardening, hiking, and cycling. Phil lives in Portland, Oregon.
