ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when a 15-year commercial real estate goes all in on blockchain, AI, and tokenization before anyone in her industry is paying attention?
In this special episode, we turn the tables on our host Mandy McGill. Producer Ana Gonzalez sits down with Mandy to talk about the moment everything clicked, what she's really building, and why she believes the next 10 years will compress 50 years of change into one decade.
