Positive externalities

“Learned so much and was inspired to listen and read more. Doing more good vs. doing less bad. Ecosystem plurality vs vertical integration. Listening to you, Neal, speak with other thought leaders provides language for all of us to have these conversations in our professions and neighborhoods. Looking forward to listening to previous episodes and staying current as you continue to interview thinkers in this space.”

Source of inspiration, motivation and excitement

“This podcast has become my source of inspiration, motivation and excitement since I discovered it last year. While I thought I was trying to do what Regenerative Real Estate is doing all by myself, it turns out there are these amazing people striving to change the world through the vehicle of real estate. The interviews/conversations Neal Collins brings about are deeply driven by the similar values and passion. I’m so grateful to have found this podcast and so looking forward to each new episode!”
