🔥 This one’s spicy.

We sat down with Nick Huber—one of the most loved and hated voices in commercial real estate Twitter—and confronted him with his most controversial tweets in our new segment: “Defend That Tweet.”

But this episode isn’t just Twitter drama. We dive deep into:

• How Nick built a $150M storage empire
• Why he believes “common things done uncommonly well” is the secret to real wealth
• How to raise capital without begging
• What’s wrong with the current culture of entrepreneurship
• Why he picks fights online—and what it’s really done for his business

You might not agree with everything he says… but you won’t be able to stop listening.

🎯 Whether you’re a CRE pro, an aspiring entrepreneur, or just here for the internet chaos, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
