Performance Mindset

About Performance Mindset

Long Position is a podcast about the decisions that actually build wealth, businesses, and communities. Hosted by Amy Calandrino, a commercial real estate advisor with nearly 20 years of experience working with entrepreneurs, investors, and families, the show explores what it looks like to think strategically, build intentionally, and play the long game in commercial real estate, business growth, and life. Each episode features candid conversations with the people doing exactly that: business owners scaling responsibly, developers shaping neighborhoods, family enterprises navigating succession, investors building lasting portfolios, operators rooting themselves in communities, and the advisors, architects, bankers, attorneys, and economic development leaders who help make it all work. These are not hustle stories. They are stories about ownership, legacy, patience, and the kind of thinking that compounds over time. Whether you are a founder evaluating your first building purchase, a family navigating a generational transition, an investor looking for smarter perspective, or simply someone who believes that long-term thinking is a competitive advantage, Long Position was made for you. Because the most important decisions rarely reward urgency. They reward clarity.

Strategic Real Estate Financing with Aaron Marsh

Published 7 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] If you only know that you're going to be in this house for five years, We can get you a better rate on a 5-1 or 7-1 arm. You're going to be out of it anyway. Right. And so let's give you some monthly savings anyway. Right. You know, just those type of things. That is a great thought. If you already know that that's your tendency, you know, and that's why I gave in. And let's say that you stay eight years and you're on a 7-1 arm. Well, the rates action, your rate may go down if rates are better eight years from now, or you may only pay that last 12 to 18 months, eight, eight and a half years at like a slightly higher rate, but you benefited for having the low rate for seven years, right?
