Defeasance, Clarity, and the War for What Works in Commercial Real Estate With Rob Finlay

Think your next win in commercial real estate is just about timing? Rob Finlay shows why it’s really about clarity, conviction, and building something that actually lasts—no matter what the market throws at you.
What if your next big win in commercial real estate depended on spotting the danger before it hit you over the head with a sledgehammer? Rob Finlay opens up about the emotional toll of building and selling a company by 35, the near-burnout moments, and how he turned a complex loophole—defeasance—into a powerful profit engine. He reveals how investors are being misled by AI hype, blindsided by bad debt strategy, and why the next generation of leaders desperately needs not motivational soundbites—but an authenticity awakening. This episode is your blueprint to lead with conviction, protect what you’re building, and win on your terms.
