About this listen

Join me every week as I share unprecedented transparency into our active deals, pipeline and lending industry challenges, as well as a dive into the week's real estate, finance and business news. The Hard Money Academy is a no-nonsense (but not too serious) podcast from a hard money lender and real estate developer who lives at the intersection of real estate, credit, and capital markets—and everything swirling around them. We'll talk deals, debt, economic trends, cultural issues, and viral events, all through the lens of husband and father who's still figuring it out in business and life.
