Any real estate developers on here? Curious how you broke into the industry, was it your first job out of college, did you have insider connections etc. Super fascinated by the industry, but it’s very opaque.

I’ll give you my story. I was a big law lawyer and started later on in investment in commercial real estate. Started companies later and went into investment. Landlords, development, are different things. We’re looking at building, but that is very local. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to discuss, but this an industry I’m definitely getting into.

This is one of my favorite couples from the show. While Steven was quite immature during the show, it seemed like he was just young and wanted to be a good dad. They've been together as a family for a while now, he has taken up yoga to manage his temper issues, she has a career on the side as a photographer and they seem happy. I hope their social media is a true representation of their lives and I hope they are truly happy together with their little son 😊

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
