In this episode recorded at ICSC@Florida 2025, host Nathan Griffis sits down with Craig Kopko of WMG to talk about honesty in development, the challenges of today’s market, and how scaling into massive mixed‑use projects—like their 125‑acre Heritage development—shapes the future of their business. They discuss transparency with tenants, the importance of delivering what you promise, how great leaders pay it forward, and why developing a healthy pipeline is essential for long‑range success. Plus: Oura Rings, Zillow‑scrolling confessionals, and the mystery of spongy trade‑show flooring.

Retail isn't dead, it just needs better ideas.

In this episode of the Built2Suit Podcast, Nathan Griffis talks with Josh Harris, Senior Vice President at Crossmark Services, about the evolution of retail real estate and the misunderstood “death of the mall.”

Josh argues that malls didn’t fail because of demand, but because of rigid financial thinking and a lack of creativity. He shares insights on how small businesses, flexible leasing, and community-focused design can revive retail and office spaces, along with advice for young professionals entering the industry. The conversation highlights why adaptability, not just capital, will shape the future of commercial real estate.

Fewer young people are entering the trades — but what if we introduced them to robots that can print buildings? 🤖

On this episode, Nathan Griffis sits down with Darin Ross, CEO and Founder of FMG, to discuss how 3D concrete printing is transforming commercial construction. Darin shares how FMG became an early adopter of the technology, lessons learned from “failing forward” on one of the largest 3D-printed buildings in the U.S., and how the process is reducing costs, shortening schedules, and improving jobsite safety.

Beyond innovation, the conversation dives into leadership, burnout, and the realities of high performance. Darin opens up about why work-life balance is a myth, the importance of physical and mental discipline, and how leaders can sustain long-term success without sacrificing their health, families, or teams.

This episode blends future-focused construction insights with honest leadership perspective for anyone building both a business and a life that lasts.
