Multipliers - An A.CRE Pod: How Mentors Change Your Trajectory (S1E13)

The fastest way to compress a decade of learning into two years is to find someone who has already made the mistakes you are about to make. In this episode of Multipliers, Spencer, Michael, and Sam sit down with David Conroy, Principal at Cawley Commercial Real Estate and founder of Headwaters, to talk about how mentorship shaped his career in industrial real estate, why understanding the tenant's P&L gives you an investment edge most sponsors never develop, how labor and transportation costs drive leasing decisions far more than rent does, and what it looks like to build a vertical expertise that compounds over time. They also get into Michael's new AI deal sourcing agent, the population and labor market screening tool David built in Replit in 20 minutes that took a year to attempt before, and why curiosity might be the most underrated multiplier in the business.

Multipliers - An A.CRE Pod: Ask Why Until the Answer Changes (S1E12)

In this episode of Multipliers, Spencer and Sam get into how Michael is using AI to turn over more acquisition stones with the same size team, why the mental model you use to understand a new technology determines whether you ever actually adopt it, how Spencer explains the difference between a harness and a capabilities layer using an elevator analogy that finally made it click for a senior industry veteran, and why Sam's moment watching CRE Agents complete a task from start to finish changed the way he thinks about software forever. They also get into SpaceX going public, what Elon Musk's first principles obsession has to do with your buy box, and the Cursor acquisition by XAI and what it means for the cost of AI going forward.

Multipliers - An A.CRE Pod: Most People and Companies Are Ill-Prepared for the AI Wave (S1E11)

Re-skilling is not optional. Every person and every organization in commercial real estate is going to have to do it. The question is whether you start now or get left behind. In this episode of Multipliers, Spencer and Sam get into why autonomous agents are expensive and still looking for their killer use case in CRE, how AI skills have evolved from a single markdown file into something closer to a full software program, why the re-skilling and retooling wave is more complex than most people realize, and what it actually takes to stay ahead when the tools are changing faster than anyone can track. They also get personal: what Spencer fears most at 3am, Sam's psychological operating system framework, and the signal vs. noise problem that keeps smart people from doing the things they already know they should.

Multipliers - An A.CRE Pod: Modeling Like a Deal Seasoned Pro in the Era of AI (S1E10)

In this episode of Multipliers, Spencer live-demos an AI skill built for a real estate financial model — pulling in an actual OM, T12, and rent roll, querying live Freddie Mac rate data from the A.CRE Intelligence Hub, and watching Claude populate a full apartment acquisition underwriting in under 20 minutes. We get into why the fundamentals are still the prerequisite, why you need a separate prompt engineer to keep your coding context clean, how living skills accumulate experience the way people do, and why the person building skills inside their firm right now is in the driver's seat for the next two to three years.

Multipliers - An A.CRE Pod: The Traffic Engine Nobody's Building (S1E9)

Some portion of your revenue every single night is going to a third party. That's NOI you're giving away. There's a way to stop. In this episode of Multipliers, we break down how Michael Belasco built an AI-powered traffic and attribution engine for his RV park that's already beating projections, and why the playbook applies to multifamily, self-storage, senior housing, and hospitality. We get into why geo-targeting beats geo-fencing, how organic content like event calendars and local amenity pages create retargeting pipelines most operators never think about, and why there's real arbitrage right now for anyone willing to build their own distribution instead of renting someone else's.
