What is your focus each day in order to improve where you at in your career?
Is it specially related to development and learning construction? Modeling (being a monkey), learn the finance side of things or is it knowing how to source deals?
Also - what do you do each day to achieve your goals?
How can someone learn at least one new thing everyday at work without getting caught up in your day to day job?
In my day job, I'm making sure we have a large pipeline. It's much harder for developers to cut staff when there are projects under construction ;)
Outside of that, I'm continuing to look for, talk to, and research developers who put additional effort into what they create. That could be tech innovations, heavy timber or other new construction methods, a focus on beautiful design and architecture, sustainability, "what office will look like post-pandemic," or anything else that goes beyond the merchant builder strategy of VEing everything interesting out of a project.
Just two weeks ago I had a great talk with a company from the Netherlands about how they approach design as well as a local developer who talked about how developers can help the communities they gentrify through job training and hiring workers specifically from the neighborhoods the projects are build in.
