Greta Work!
Chris has a variety of different industry thoughts leaders on his podcast. The thing that I enjoy most is how he is able to blend industry specific content and who these people really are on the day to day. They don’t hold back and give you a true glimpse of their journey. Keep it up Chris!
You will leave hungry for more
It is rare to see a series where you leave hungry for more wishing it was 10 hours not 1 hour. There is not one single episode I have listened to where I did not have a great take away. I have had some pretty concrete opinions on some topics where Chris has caused me to take a different perspective towards. I am always looking for reasons to discredit my beliefs and to challenge them to make sure I am not leaving myself open for blind spots. Chris presents information, guests, and dialogue in a manner that makes me look at the business world differently.
Notifications on for this one
This is the only podcast where I have the notifications on, and the only podcast I’ve reviewed to date. Here’s why: 1. Chris is an excellent interviewer and focuses on his guests rather than himself - and he has a fantastic, humble perspective. 2. His guests are “accessible achievers” in that they got to an accessible level of success by taking actions that are accessible to all of us - so, it will be people you may not have heard of, but that’s a good thing because how much do we really have to learn from Elon Musk’s playbook? 3. His guests cover a nice array of topics without being all over the place - he’s focused on investing, SMB and real estate while periodically touching on other hot topics. 4. Finally, he comes at his interviews from a grass roots rather than highbrow perspective. This means you’ll get a look at the playbook his guests used to achieve accessible success. If it isn’t obvious, I highly recommend.
Such a great resource
Chris is a humble and personable interviewer. His questions get right to the point and extract the most vital information from his interesting guests. I have learned a great deal from his insights and guests.
Awesome show
Chris has great content, and we get to peak into his curious mind too.
Best commercial real estate and all around business podcast
Chris delivers the goods. At first I listened because he brought on some of the smartest folks in commercial real estate. But his genuine curiosity for all things business has made him an excellent interviewer and allowed him to have a diverse group of guests where listeners get to learn something new every week. It’s a must listen every week.
Consistently delivers top quality content
Chris’ podcasts are always relevant, informative, and intriguing. Give it a listen.
Hidden Gem!
The Fort podcast is a hidden gem! If you are interested in business, real estate, tech, and Texas then you will not be disappointed. Chris does a great job interviewing interesting people from all those industries. Keep up the great work Chris!
My fav RE podcast!
I learn something new every time I listen. Great info from a variety of RE practitioners.
Great Show and Getting Better
Really great guests. Chris does a really good job of giving them enough space to talk and tell their stories while guiding them in a productive way. Very skilled at asking the right questions to make it easy for all knowledge levels to learn about real estate and a variety of other industries.
Little bit of everything you love.
Always interesting, never disappoints. If you’re into Real Estate, Business, or Startups this is your podcast. (And Chris is the man!)
Informative and entertaining
Great guests and illuminating questions.
RE as a business + much more
Love the format of the pod. Chris is not only a great interviewer bringing out important lessons from his guests, but I also take tons of leadership lessons from his approach to building a biz, RE or not.
Deep conversations that make you think
Chris asks fantastic questions that make you think deeply about the topics. Great podcast!
Great guests and candid conversations
This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Hearing from experts in different areas offers a refreshing perspective and I always finish the podcast smarter than when I started. Appreciate all the time it takes to produce high quality content like this.
Great show for commercial RE and other interesting topics
Show/host works hard to get great and interesting guests and asks great questions. Very informative and one of my favorite podcasts (it’s often niche topics that i’m very interested in)
MBA-quality content
I’m usually not one for long form podcasts but The Fort changed that. Chris Powers’ thoughtful interview style is well prepared, inquisitive, insightful, and engaging. The best thing about listening to The Fort is you are guaranteed to learn something new in every episode. Whether you are a founder, a CRE expert, or a budding SMB owner/operator, this podcast will inform you like no other. The guests are as unique as they are experienced. The topics cover all sorts of niche businesses and opportunities. As someone who regularly curates his podcast list and rotates out the old or repetitive ones, The Fort remains at the top. This one is well worth your time.
Keep up the great work!
Chris does a great job of researching his guests and asking great questions. As well as getting a wide variety of guests from different backgrounds. Highly recommend the FORT podcast!
Number 1 RE Podcast!
I’ve listened to all the major real estate podcasts and The Fort is my personal favorite. Fantastic guests, and you feel like you’re sitting at the same dinner table listening to the convos. And it’s exactly that, a great conversation with well curated, inspiring guests. Kudos to Chris to allowing the guests to talk (not overpowering as a host). My go-to podcast when I’m driving around looking for real estate deals, the best type of motivation. Give me 2 years and I’ll be on the pod :)
The best commercial real estate podcast
My go to for anything commercial real estate related. When Chris does occasionally have guests outside that field you know they have to be good.
Teaches you a lot about life, business, and real estate
I learned a lot from the episodes I’ve listened to and the interviewer is good.
Great podcast! Very informative
Loving the pods. Learn something in each episode. Keep it up.
A must listen for success in biz & life
This pod features some of the most amazing people you’ve never heard of - the best in their craft sharing lessons that took many years + million$ to learn. Chris has a talent for pulling the good stuff out of guests. This is the podcast for finding people you want to emulate in business and life.
Best podcast on the web
Great content, great interviewer and interesting guests. Keep it up Chris!
