-What I Witness- My role in #Bedminster is truly remarkable, and here's why... I am surrounded by some of the most #generous people I have ever met. Giving of their #time, #experiences, and #support. I typically would edit myself out of this photo, however I cannot think of 4 people I respect at a higher level, and as I am always behind the camera this may be the only opportunity I have to get in the photo with them (John Ruhl - Managing Partner, Jonathan V. Brito, Jay C. Burgman and John Kozakis, CFP). Jay is the #Annuities Specialist for our network and came to present to our office this week. He clearly knows the "ins & outs" of the space... but what impressed me more is why he does it, and how he carries himself. "Client First & Best Interest" are the foundations for his financial practice and his teachings. Watching him share his wisdom with both our newest and our veteran advisors, and then hearing them sing his praises when he went back to his office in PA (and out of earshot) reinforced what I already knew... this team is special. The ripple effect that takes place when you do good for another person and they repeat that again and again, is of a magnitude that's hard to imagine. There is a profound impact that stems from the individuals in this group... spanning decades and generations, and it will never cease. Thank you for everything that you each do day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month... you get the idea.

Excited to share the op-ed that Daphne Bond-Godfrey and I co-authored in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution titled "Intentionality is key to creating equitable opportunity within commercial real estate". In this article we touch on the importance of doing our part to shape the future of the built environment, work that directly aligns with the Urban Land Institute and Baker Tilly US’s commitments to DEI, stewardship and social impact. As we think about shaping the future our industry, its imperative that we commit to addressing the lack of diverse representation in commercial real estate. For me, two areas of focus are creating onramps for diverse talent into the industry, and identifying ways to democratize access to capital for diverse developers and asset managers. Every day, I am energized by the opportunity to lead the DevelUP platform, an extensive ecosystem comprising hundreds of multidisciplinary stakeholders from across the nation. Their shared commitment to enhancing our industry fuels our collective progress. I am deeply grateful for this journey and the inspiring change-makers I have encountered along the way. I am grateful for ULI Atlanta leadership - Daphne Bond-Godfrey, Amanda Rhein, and Tyrone Rachal, and DEI Committee co-chairs Keith Mack and Quinn Green, MBA for their vision, courage and commitment to this work, as well as my Baker Tilly colleagues Don Bernards, Todd Carpenter, Nuwandi Trahan, CPA, and Tracey B. Nguyen. The work is never finished, and I am excited to see all we accomplish together. #Atlanta #Economicdevelopment #ULI #DevelUP #Buildingequityfromthegroundup #collaboration #socialimpact #DEI #furthertogether #inclusiveleadership #talentdevelopment #accesstocapital

Howard Lorber's recent departure from Douglas Elliman marks a pivotal moment in the New York real estate landscape. After over two decades of leadership, his exit, prompted by board concerns regarding workplace culture, is raising important questions about the future of one of the industry's key players. The circumstances of Lorber's resignation—coupled with the backdrop of ongoing allegations against former top brokers—signal a shift not just for Douglas Elliman, but for the entire real estate sector as it grapples with changing dynamics. As the firm moves away from an era defined by Lorber and faces uncertainties in the market, opportunities for revitalization under new leadership could emerge. What does this mean for Douglas Elliman and the broader industry? How might governmental changes and evolving workplace cultures shape the future of real estate? These are critical questions that warrant attention as we navigate this new landscape.

Envisioning a Reimagined Black Wall Street! Black Wall Street's history hails from a standard set of values that served as a baseline for how community members engaged with one another and within broader society. Today, the "Values" are showcased across the different BSWF communities. The Charlotte council envisions a reimagined Black Wall Street in which the following values are centered and uplifted. As we strive to rebuild and reimagine, let's center our vision around our core values. Here's how they can guide us towards a brighter future: Servant Leadership: Embracing authentic communication, we prioritize serving others and fostering inclusive growth. Trust: Building intimacy and collaboration, we create spaces where trust flourishes, driving collective prosperity. Integrity: Through transparency, accountability, and responsibility, we uphold the highest ethical standards, laying the foundation for a resilient community. Community and Collaboration: Grounded in support, love, and neighborly awareness, we unite to uplift each other and foster a thriving ecosystem. Anti-Racism: With an unwavering Anti-Racist mindset, we dismantle systemic barriers and cultivate a culture of equity and justice for all. Together, let's pave the way for a vibrant and empowered Black Wall Street, rooted in these guiding principles. #BWSF #BlackWallStreetForward #ReimaginingBlackWallStreet #CommunityFirst #EquityForAll

Personally, the greatest benefit in working for others (if you haven't figured out how to work for yourself or if that's simply not in the cards) is great leadership. There was nothing more important to me when I left one industry in 2022 and started in this new one in 2023 was to find strong leadership and a healthy corporate culture. These faces of Thomas & Hutton below deliver on both.

We should never lose sight of the idea that most fundamental to a peaceful and prosperous society is the fulfillment of the hopes, aspirations and dreams that people have for themselves, family, friends and what they value most. Culture has always been a vital cornerstone, bringing joy, meaning and a prism of opportunity to express and engage with our inner selves and the people and ideas that surround, shape and reshape us. At The Leap, like many funding and support organisations we want to help people and places to thrive - to enable ordinary people, to have agency, to do extraordinary things that can make the biggest difference. But very often, people don't want to do big things, to scale, grow or change systems, they simply want to do things that just really matter to them in places and spaces that are.most meaningful to them. That's why I believe that small amounts of money often alongside volunteers and some well targeted help is equally as important as ideas that can generate investment and create impact at scale. At The Leap, collaborating with Calderdale Council, we are doing just that with The Leap into Culturedale Awards, to give people who may not otherwise, in areas with the least opportunity, step forward with creative ideas, and have a go at making meaning and bringing joy through arts, culture and heritage.
