In this episode, Seth Bradley sits down with Michael Flight, a seasoned real estate investor and developer, who shares how he made, lost, and plans to make his next million. Michael Flight explains that his story begins with a value-add shopping center project early in his career, a challenging deal with vacant anchor tenants and environmental issues. After several years of redevelopment and refinancing, the project paid off massively, marking Michael Flight’s first million-dollar milestone.
Key Highlight Points: - First Million: Earned from a value-add shopping center redevelopment that overcame major hurdles (vacancies, environmental problems) and paid out big after refinancing. - Early Lessons: Started with small multifamily properties, his first rent check in cash ($900) made a lasting impression about cash flow and ownership. - Longevity: Over 35 years in real estate, building wealth through steady, value-add projects. - Last Million: Currently tied up in private tokenized investments, waiting for retail liquidity events. - Next Million: Betting on the tokenization and data revolution, especially through companies like Proximal, which allows AI analytics on encrypted corporate data without exposing proprietary information. - Vision: Sees data as the new oil, believes tokenization and secure data analytics will define the next generation of billion-dollar companies.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
