From France to the American Dream

Beyond the Comfort Zone

In this episode, Anne-Lise Cailliez sits down with Henry Abenaim, founder and CEO of Fundingo, a loan management platform built for non-traditional lenders. Henry started his career at a lending startup in Los Angeles, once fat-fingered a wire transfer that sent 10 times the right amount to a bait and fishing shop in Montana, and turned that wake-up call into a company that now serves customers across the alternative lending industry. He talks candidly about building without co-founders, without outside funding, and without ever expecting the road to be easy. If you have ever wondered what it looks like to grow a business slowly, intentionally, and on your own terms, this episode is for you.

Hard Lessons in Multifamily

In this episode, Anne-Lise Cailliez sits down with Mark Kenney, co-founder of Think Multifamily, to talk about what it really looks like when a 10,000-unit portfolio starts coming apart at the seams - and what he learned rebuilding it. Mark doesn't sugarcoat anything. He went offline for nearly two years, lost 20 pounds in under two months, and had partners forge his signature on deals he knew nothing about. This isn't a highlight reel. It's a survival guide - and it might be the most honest conversation about multifamily investing you'll hear all year.

The Real Estate Private Bank for Family Offices

In this episode, Anne-Lise Cailliez sits down with Spencer Cassell, investor and commercial strategist at Devotio Capital Management, to discuss what it truly entails to manage real estate wealth for ultra-high-net-worth families without the bloated fees, the black box, and institutional indifference. Spencer breaks down why the wealthiest families in the world keep choosing US real estate even now, why Devotio makes clients qualify to work with them instead of the other way around, and what it takes to negotiate with confidence when the stakes are in the tens of millions. If you've ever wondered how the other side of serious wealth management actually works. This episode pulls back the curtain.
