Industrial real estate broker, owner, and Principal at Brit Properties, Joel Friedland, has a 40-year track record in industrial real estate, having secured more than 2,000 industrial property leases and sales. If you asked Joel his greatest career accomplishment, he would say that it’s his ability to maintain valued relationships spanning five decades. In today’s episode, he offers insight into his tried-and-true code of conduct for building lasting relationships, loosely based on Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements (a highly recommended read from our guest). Joel also shares a few anecdotes that illustrate how you can build relationships anywhere, whether you’re driving down the road or picking up your dry cleaning.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
