Drey and Tayler recorded this episode at the 2023 CREi Summit in Orlando, Florida. Rod was a presenter at the event and was kind enough to dive into a podcast episode to discuss Artificial Intelligence as it pertains to Commercial Real Estate. One of Rod's best lines during his presentation was: "AI is not going to take your job as a commercial real estate broker. But a commercial real estate broker who knows how to leverage AI will." In this episode we cover a few areas AI is already impacting the CRE industry. You can take a deeper dive at the Massimo Group website.

The Podcast is coming full circle in this episode! Back in 2021 show hosts, Tayler Tibbitts and Drey Campbell, attended the inaugural Commercial Real Estate Influencers (CREi) Summit in Truckee, CA. It was there they had the idea to start the TVCRE Podcast, which is now the CREducation podcast!

Ken Ashley, Casey Flannery, and Sarah Malcolm have been instrumental in the growth of the CREi Summit, which just wrapped up it's third annual event. It was there that Tayler and Drey invited them onto the show to talk about the growth of the Summit and CREi in general, and now we have this great episode for you!

If you are interested in learning more about CREi you can find more here.

If you'd like to get in touch with any of the guests, you can find them on all major social media platforms and their DMs are open!

He has made a number of power moves to help grow his family business into a real force to be reckoned with, including a number of commercial real estate plays that he breaks down on this episode. We haven't explored the intersection of this type of business and commercial real estate on the show before, and we hope you enjoy the new approach.

Brett also has his own podcast, A Scrap Life, which you can check out here!

(Note: We had a little shake up in the order of podcasts, and we had to leap frog what we had originally recorded as episode 14. So in this episode we call it episode 15, but it's actually 14. )

On lucky episode 13, we are excited to introduce the Treasure Valley CRE market to Andrew Bermudez of Digsy. Andrew, Drey and Tayler connected initially through the CREi Summit (https://creisummit.com/), which we highly recommend checking out. He runs a company that provides virtual support in a variety of ways for commercial real estate professionals, and on this episode of the podcast, he breaks down these options and how they can help brokers optimize their business.
