PODCAST
Hear It From The Groundfloor
What does it actually take to drive growth and move the needle? On the Real Growth Podcast, we go behind the scenes through engaging conversations with entrepreneurs and business owners who are navigating the everyday realities of scaling. From those just launching to those who have built a lasting legacy, we listen to their growth stories to fuel our mission of business empowerment.
We move beyond theory to share the personal experiences, specific actions, and essential attitudes that have worked for others. Our goal isn’t to give you a rigid “recipe” for success, but to provide an interesting perspective and tangible tools you can add to your own secret sauce. If you’re looking for real-world insights to help you take your business to the next level, you’re in the right place.
Is the traditional office space dead, or is it just waiting for a better model?
In this episode of the Real Growth Podcast, host Justin sits down with Andrew Robinson, founder of Slingshot Real Estate. Andrew shares how he transitioned from managing $180M+ institutional assets at CBRE to building Rochester’s largest private office ecosystem from the ground up.
Andrew unpacks his vision for “The Hub on Third” in downtown Rochester, explaining why younger professionals are trading open coworking desks for high-value, frictionless private offices. From leveraging AI to slash overhead costs to resolving stressful tenant crises with empathy, this conversation provides a raw look at what it actually takes to be a boots-on-the-ground property operator.
