"A No Is Just a Bridge to Yes" - Daniel Lebensohn, Co-Founder of BH3 Management
Daniel Lebensohn co-founded South Florida investment and development firm BH3 in November 2009 — right in the teeth of the financial crisis — with his partner Greg Freedman and, in his words, "no material track record" and no capital locked down. A lawyer by training (JD, New York Law School), Daniel spent a decade in practice before moving fully into distressed real estate, and has since helped scale BH3 into a national player with billions invested across Florida and New York, from the Privé at Island Estates towers in Aventura to a new Privé project at Point Dume, Malibu. In this episode, Daniel unpacks the trait one peer called his superpower — tenacity — and where it really comes from. We get the full story of how he tracked down an investor from Michael Dell's family office, bought a stranger's seat on a JetBlue flight to sit beside him, and turned a delayed tarmac into five hours of captive pitch time. We also cover the multi-year, multi-million-dollar Williams Island litigation, what adversity reveals about your partners, and why he believes AI is about to pour rocket fuel on the people who stay authentic. If you're a rising professional looking down the barrel of your first leadership role, this one's for you. He closes with the clearest case for taking the leap you'll hear all year: "This is not a dress rehearsal."

Instincts Are Just Preparation: Mark Levy, CIO of FRP Holdings
What if the leadership style that got you promoted is exactly what's holding your team back? In this episode, Nick Carman sits down with Mark Levy, Chief Investment Officer of FRP Holdings and former founder and president of Altman Logistics. Mark oversees capital deployment across FRP's industrial development platform along the US eastern seaboard — but this conversation isn't about deals. It's about the harder, slower work of becoming a leader worth following. Mark is refreshingly honest about his early career: driven by validation, outworking everyone in the room, and — by his own admission — leading with a command-and-control style that left his teams disempowered and results falling short. He shares the turning point: a career coach who introduced him to emotional intelligence, and the "light bulb moment" that reshaped how he leads, hires and mentors today. Whether you're a rising star eyeing your first leadership role or an experienced professional questioning your approach, this is a mentor-in-your-pocket episode you'll come back to. In this episode: Why holding a leadership title isn't the same as leading (2:19) The early drivers: validation, work ethic and "failure is not an option" (8:51) How Mark's teams really saw him — and the feedback that stung (12:38) The career coach conversation that changed everything: emotional intelligence and servant leadership (6:32) "Listen more, talk less" — the advice Mark wishes he'd had (17:11) Why "gut feel" is a myth: instincts are built on preparation (20:17) What drives Mark today: coaching, mentoring and success through others (26:42) The advice he gives University of Miami and UPenn students: know your value proposition (28:42) Why showing up still matters — Mark's candid take on remote work for young professionals (32:18) What he looks for when hiring: intellectual curiosity over hard skills (35:54) Building your own "personal board of directors" (44:28) The long game: be the best at the role you have today (45:19) About the guest: Mark Levy is Chief Investment Officer at FRP Holdings, an industrial development and acquisitions platform focused on markets along the US eastern seaboard, with primary markets in New Jersey and Florida. He joined FRP following its acquisition of Altman Logistics, where he was founder and president. Earlier in his career he held senior leadership roles at Prologis, the world's largest industrial REIT.
