Join host Keith Andrews as he sits down with John Letourneau, Director of Commercial Operations at eXp Commercial, for an eye-opening conversation about how commercial real estate drives economic development at every level.
Key Topics Covered: - The massive economic impact difference between residential and commercial real estate transactions - Why commercial brokers must engage with municipalities and economic development officials early in the process - Building relationships that matter: It's not who you know, it's who knows you - The importance of being involved in zoning and land use decisions 2+ years before development - Lessons learned from market downturns and the power of relational vs. transactional business - Tax advantages and investment diversification opportunities in commercial real estate - Career advice for professionals considering entering the commercial real estate field
Episode Highlights: "If you sell a million dollar factory, forty workers now need a place to go every day. Those suppliers need to bring product in and out of there... So they're bringing in community resources to two hundred ten, twenty, thirty times the fiscal impact a single million dollar home would sell." - John Letourneau
This episode was recorded live at the Commercial Mastermind Summit in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, just blocks from the Cumberland River and across from the Titans stadium.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
