The Real Estate Reset: Distress, Opportunity & the Future of Multifamily Investing
On this episode of The Working Title Show with Zach Sams, Zach sits down with Andrew Castanos and Fritz Barton III of Clover Capital Partners to talk about the current state of multifamily real estate, the opportunities emerging from market distress, and why they believe Texas remains such a compelling place to invest.

From Baseball to Business: Nick Sunderman on Entrepreneurship, Leadership & Handle
In this episode of The Working Title Show, Zach sits down with Nick Sunderman, founder of Handle, to talk about entrepreneurship, leadership, real estate, and the lessons that carry over from sports into business.
Nick shares how his experience playing minor league baseball shaped his approach to leadership and entrepreneurship, why he considers himself a “needs-based founder,” and how a frustration with property maintenance led to the creation of Handle. They discuss Handle’s growing commercial and residential services, how the company helps property owners manage vendors and reduce inefficiencies, and why Nick is especially passionate about helping older homeowners and their families navigate home services.
The conversation also dives into failure, parenting, sports, golf, and the importance of effort, attitude, and leaving things better than you found them.

Fixing Downtown Dallas: Homelessness, Crime & What Comes Next
Downtown Dallas has faced some serious challenges in recent years — from homelessness and crime to struggling businesses and concerns about whether people still feel safe coming into the city.
On this episode of The Working Title Show, Mark Nunnley joins the conversation to talk about the work being done to change that.
Mark shares how his career with the Ashford Group of Companies eventually led him into civic work focused on downtown Dallas, including efforts to better understand and reduce unsheltered homelessness. He discusses the data-driven approach being used to track homelessness and crime, the progress already made in the central business district, and why accountability matters if Dallas wants to create lasting change.
The conversation also explores **Pathways Dallas**, a developing initiative inspired by San Antonio’s Haven for Hope model, designed to bring shelter, mental health services, addiction treatment, and other resources together in a more coordinated way.
They also get into the bigger picture: public safety, city services, taxes, infrastructure, Deep Ellum, the future of downtown, and what it will take for people to feel confident investing, living, working, and spending time in Dallas again.
If Dallas wants a stronger downtown, the path forward starts with tackling the issues people can see and feel every day — and making sure the solutions actually work.
