Don Peebles builds skylines. I wanted you to hear how.

Don is the founder, chairman, and CEO of The Peebles Corporation, one of America’s largest Black-owned real estate development companies, with projects in Washington, Miami, New York, and beyond. He is also an author, a commentator, and a man who has spent decades opening doors in an industry that was not built to let him in.

For nearly an hour and a half, we talk about how he got his first deal done with no money and a lot of nerve. What he looks for in a city before he commits capital. Why he believes real estate is still the surest path to generational wealth for our community. And how he thinks about politics, power, and access as tools in the same toolbox.

If you have ever driven past a new building and wondered how somebody gets to own that, this is your answer.
