Jackson Stith, principal at Maverick Capital, discusses land development in the Rio Grande Valley. The region is experiencing population growth and economic development, making it an attractive market for real estate. Maverick Capital focuses on land development projects, primarily in the form of multi-family housing. They conduct extensive due diligence before acquiring land and then proceed with site planning, utility installation, and establishing the necessary legal frameworks. Stith emphasizes the importance of understanding the local market and catering to the specific needs and preferences of the residents. He also discusses the potential for amenities to enhance the value proposition of their projects. In this conversation, Jackson Stith discusses his experience in land development in Mexico. He talks about the amenities that work well in the region, such as playgrounds and pools, and the target buyers for rental properties and townhouses. Stith explains the flow of the development process, from builders leasing up the properties to selling them to investors. He also shares the secret sauce of his success, which includes understanding the market thoroughly, maximizing land efficiency, and problem-solving. Stith discusses his funding strategy, which involves using his own cash upfront and raising money on a deal-by-deal basis. He also shares his vision for the future, including expanding into vertical development and capitalizing on the growing market opportunities in Mexico.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
