I’m Doing a Podcast!

SHARE:

If you’ve been reading my newsletter for a while, you know by now that I like to play with technology. It’s fun to explore new ways of being more efficient at work and at home. To that end, I’d like to announce that I’m branching out and offering up my content in an exciting format – Podcast!

I’ve been working on this for a while, and some kind colleagues have been generous with their time and came to talk with me in the recording studio. We are in the final editing stages and hope to kick-off the podcasts soon.

In the meanwhile, here are some of my favorite podcasts to get us in an audio mood. I love listening to podcasts when I’m in the car (long drives to scout out industrial sites are great opportunities to listen to podcasts).

Here are some cool podcasts you might want to try:

Akimbo With Seth Goden.
Seth’s describes his podcast like this: “Akimbo is an ancient word, from the bend in the river or the bend in an archer’s bow. It’s become a symbol for strength, a posture of possibility, the idea that when we stand tall, arms bent, looking right at it, we can make a difference. Akimbo’s a podcast about our culture and about how we can change it. About seeing what’s happening and choosing to do something. The culture is real, but it can be changed. You can bend it.”

Meaningful Monday’s with Lee Brower
Faithful readers know I’ve been a fan of Lee’s for years. This week he aired an interesting episode discussing reactivity versus creativity.

Radiolab
I love this one. Created by Jad Abumrad and hosted by Jad and Robert Krulwich, Radiolab has won all sorts of fancy awards for their work investigating what they call a strange world. They use science to make science accessible. One of the hosts has won a MacArthur Genius grant, and the show often tours in sold out shows across the country.

Inside Strategic Coach
This is another long-time must for me. I’ve worked with Dan Sullivan for a long time, and find great value in his insight and inspiration that he offers entrepreneurs.

The Daily
The New York Times produces this podcast that regularly offers up interesting, thoughtful news and features.

Podasts are a great way to hear and try new things. Whether you are looking to laugh, cry, get inspired or learn a new skill, there’s a podcast for you. They are easily accessible and can be a fulfilling way to spend some time.

I’ll be sure to let you know when Cardinal Insights: The Podcast is ready. It’s coming soon. And if you ever want to talk about useful or inspiring tools that can boost your productivity or make your company more efficient, give me a call.

Real estate transactions can be fraught with frustration and pitfalls.

Sometimes the hardest part turns out to be working with your broker, the person who is supposed to help you through the complexities. Veteran commercial real estate broker and client advisor John Culbertson discovered that brokers’ interests aren’t always aligned with those of their clients. He realized there was a better way to advocate for clients and get the deal done.

TESTIMONIALS

Our clients get senior-level attention.

We’re grateful for our clients. They are extraordinary leaders who have achieved tremendous results. When we think about the companies and people we are fortunate to work with, we are blown away.

Jay Faison
Former President, WirePath and ZoboTV

John and his team were exceptional advocates on our behalf. Their team approach makes sense, and it yielded an excellent value for my company.

Bob Spencer
Senior Vice President, RBC Bank

I got to know John while serving on a state board and observed him be one of very high integrity and commitment to his clients. His approach to serving clients in the real estate business is unique and results-focused. I have no hesitation recommending him to any of my clients. I know he is a true professional and an expert in his field. He understands partnering like no one else!

Lee Roberts
Former Managing Director Piedmont Community Bank Holdings

Truth is, we can easily find real estate that is available in SouthPark. But Cardinal called the landlord of one of our competitors and helped us make a deal for an awesome Charlotte branch. I am extraordinarily pleased with the engagement in every possible dimension.

Ronnie Bryant
Former CEO, Charlotte Regional Partnership

Working with a smaller shop gets you more personal attention. I got the top guy’s attention. You don’t get that with a large organization where sometimes you end up with junior people doing the work. John is detailed; he’s professional, he’s aggressive, and not in a negative way, but in terms of wanting to get it right. He’s tenacious. He would be my No. 1 choice for any real estate deal. I know what to expect. He’s a good guy, and over the years, he's become a good friend, too.

Stephen Pandos
Director of Finance, Insite Properties

Few people have a Rolodex like John. He's about the most networked person I know and people take his call. He has deep contacts with all the major players, both locally and around the region. As a result of John's introductions, we have found several exceptional deals and developed some valuable relationships. You can't put a price tag on this type of access and speed of trust.

Stephen Pandos
Director of Finance, Insite Properties

John has a high tolerance for the mental pain it takes to solve a complex problem. Frankly, his peers in the brokerage industry just don’t have it. I think John’s experience as an operator, investor, developer, and broker gives him a unique perspective when looking at opportunities. His vision, his ability to think forward, is unique in his profession. His ability to see the bigger picture and what the future looks like on opportunities is remarkable. He also is networked - he has deep contacts with all the major players, both locally and around the region. John’s network has opened doors for us. People take his call.
