How do you all stay up to date with what's going on in the industry?

I started in CRE about a year ago, and one thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of people seem to always know what’s going on - specific deals, which companies are active, what’s happening in certain markets, capital raising activity, etc.

I’m curious how you all stay on top of this.

What resources are you using regularly? Newsletters, websites, YouTube channels, industry reports, podcasts, Twitter/X, etc.? Are you mostly reading trade publications or is a lot of it just from being in the flow of conversations?

Would really appreciate any advice on how you’ve built your “information pipeline” over time.
