Gabe Navarro | The Navarro Pharmacies Story: From Selling to CVS to Building a Real Estate Empire
<p>In this episode of Miami Dealmakers, Omar Morales sits down with Gabe Navarro, co-founder of MMG Real Estate, to discuss building one of South Florida's most recognizable family business legacies — and what came after. Gabe shares the story of Navarro Discount Pharmacy, from his grandfather's first store in Little Havana to a 30-location chain his family eventually sold to CVS, and how the real estate they accumulated along the way became the foundation for what's next. They get into MMG's evolution from distressed debt buyer post-GFC to active retail developer, the unconventional move to acquire and revive Tamarack Resort in Idaho, and how Gabe approaches JVs, long-term holds, and finding deals where institutional capital hasn't crowded you out. This episode is packed with lessons on generational business, relationship-driven dealmaking, and what it takes to reinvent yourself after a major exit.</p><p>====================</p><p>AI-Powered Construction Project Management Software: <a href="https://www.buildpass.ai/us" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.buildpass.ai/us</a></p><p>====================</p><ul><li>0:00 - Intro</li><li>1:55 - The Story Behind Navarro Pharmacy</li><li>8:03 - Discovering Real Estate</li><li>13:55 - Selling Navarro, Private Equity & CVS</li><li>22:31 - Building MMG Equity Partners After the Exit</li><li>34:45 - Expanding Beyond Retail Real Estate</li><li>43:28 - From Shopping Centers to Ski Resorts</li><li>59:02 - South Florida Development</li><li>1:04:58 - Finding Opportunities in Today's Market</li><li>1:11:36 - Family, Leadership & Raising the Next Generation</li><li>1:15:56 - Advice for Younger Self & Closing Thoughts</li></ul>

Moshe Popack | 11 Kids, Contrarian Investing, and the Spiritual Foundation Behind It All
<p>In this episode of Miami Dealmakers, Omar Morales sits down with Moshe Popack, a South Florida real estate investor and father of 11, to discuss building wealth through contrarian thinking, spiritual grounding, and a long-term mindset. Moshe shares his journey from New York — navigating law school, a crashed market, and three kids and no job at 29 — to amassing over 2.5 million square feet of commercial real estate across South Florida and beyond. They dig into his investment philosophy: buying distressed office, multifamily, and assisted living assets when institutions are fleeing, structuring deals with certainty, and compounding returns through refinancing. Moshe also walks through two recent contrarian office plays that generated outsized returns. But the conversation goes deeper than dealmaking — exploring spirituality, unconditional love as a leadership principle, and what 11 kids teach you about patience, empathy, and letting go of judgment. This episode is a rare look at a dealmaker who operates from the inside out.</p><p>====================</p><p>AI-Powered Construction Project Management Software: <a href="https://www.buildpass.ai/us" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.buildpass.ai/us</a></p><p>====================</p><ul><li>0:00 - Intro</li><li>1:40 - Law School, Marriage & Moving to Miami</li><li>7:10 - Spirituality, Abundance & Entrepreneurship</li><li>15:37 - Turning $10,000 into a Six-Figure Profit</li><li>18:07 - Building a Multifamily Portfolio During the Crash</li><li>24:04 - The Investment Philosophy Behind His Success</li><li>28:44 - Finding Opportunity in Senior Housing</li><li>31:49 - The Workforce Housing Challenge</li><li>36:17 - Building Wealth by Creating Value for Others</li><li>41:20 - The Miramar and Atlanta Office Deals</li><li>49:37 - Why Certainty Wins Deals</li><li>51:45 - Raising 11 Children While Building a Business</li><li>1:00:36 - Advice to His Younger Self & Closing Thoughts</li></ul>

Sam Nazarian | Turning a Lifestyle Brand Into a Billion-Dollar Exit
<p>In this episode of Miami Dealmakers, Omar Morales sits down with Sam Nazarian, founder of SBE Entertainment Group, to discuss building one of the world's most influential luxury lifestyle hospitality companies—and selling it for nearly $1 billion.
