What If You’re the One Your Town’s Been Waiting For? | EP#01

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement for LOCALS ready to lead.What if the buildings you drive by every day—the vacant lots, the rundown corner stores, the old warehouses—were yours to reimagine?This first episode of The Local Real Estate Developer Podcast kicks off the mission: breaking down the gatekeeping in development and showing locals exactly how to start building real projects in their own communities.Kristi Kandel and co-host Raphael Collazo share their backstories, how this podcast came to life, and why real estate development should no longer be an insider’s game.We cover: ✅ What sparked this podcast (and why it matters now more than ever)✅ How Kristi and Raphael both found their way into development from two wildly different paths✅ Why local developers are the key to revitalizing small towns and underinvested cities✅ The five strategic partners every developer needs✅ What to expect from future episodes, the Developer Vault, and the LRED communityThe bold truth?You don’t need millions. You need a mission and the right support.✅ Sign up for the LRED Developer Vault & Monthly Newsletter: ⁠⁠http://www.localrealestatedeveloper.com/developer-vault-optin⁠⁠🎧 Access all platforms, the Developer Vault, and more:⁠ https://linktr.ee/localrealestatedeveloper⁠Ready to go from podcast listener to Local Developer?
