After 28 years building a real estate career the hard way — doing everything myself, grinding through a thousand transactions, and surviving a $3.55 million loss — I discovered a framework from 1946 that changed everything. This keynote traces the journey from exhausted doer to conscious director, connecting Harold Percival’s philosophy of the triune self to modern AI-powered entrepreneurship. Audiences leave with a practical framework for shifting from execution to orchestration.
Best for: Entrepreneurs, business leaders, consciousness-curious professionals, HBCU audiences
I run a real estate investment firm targeting 5-20 unit apartment buildings across 16 markets — from a laptop in Barcelona, Spain. This talk breaks down how AI handles 80% of the sourcing, analysis, and communication while I focus on the 10% vision and 10% taste that machines can’t replicate. No hype. No theory. Real systems running real deals from 4,000 miles away.
Best for: Real estate investors, remote entrepreneurs, AI-curious business owners, tech + real estate audiences
I’ve spent nearly three decades watching families lose their homes — often the same communities, the same patterns, the same systemic failures. This talk connects the legacy of Philip Payton Jr. (the father of Black real estate in Harlem) to modern wealth gaps and foreclosure cycles. It’s part history, part data, and part mission — 100 housing units preserved through strategic acquisition and stabilization. Not charity. Infrastructure.
Best for: HBCU students and alumni, housing advocates, community leaders, real estate conferences, civic organizations
Most people use AI wrong. They either hand it everything (losing their voice) or refuse to use it (losing their time). The 10-80-10 Rule is a practical framework: you provide 10% vision and ideation, AI executes 80% of the work, and you apply 10% taste and pattern recognition from your experience. This talk shows exactly how this works in real estate, content creation, publishing, and business operations — with live examples.
Best for: Entrepreneurs at any stage, corporate teams exploring AI, educators, content creators
Between 2026 and 2028, $162 billion in multifamily commercial real estate debt is maturing — much of it from operators who bought at peak pricing in 2021-2022 with bridge and hard money loans. They can’t refinance. They can’t hold. This talk breaks down where the distress is concentrated, how to identify it, how to underwrite it, and how to acquire these assets at a discount while preserving workforce housing for communities. Data-heavy. Actionable. Time-sensitive.
Best for: Real estate investors, commercial brokers, family offices, private equity professionals, CCIM/SIOR audiences
