From Foreclosure to Reinvention: How Eugene Gershman Built Back Smarter
In this episode of Change & Triumph, Tené Williams sits down with real estate developer Eugene Gershman to talk about family business, foreclosure, reinvention, and the future of real estate.
Eugene shares how growing up around the stress of construction pushed him away from the industry, only for him to later join the family business and spend more than two decades in development. After losing two projects to foreclosure, he was forced to rethink the business model, where he spent his time, and how he wanted to operate going forward.
He also explains how he now uses AI for feasibility, zoning research, bookkeeping, contract review, marketing, and podcast production.
This is a conversation about real estate, resilience, and knowing when to change the way you build.
