We sat down with Nick Huber—one of the most loved and hated voices in commercial real estate Twitter—and confronted him with his most controversial tweets in our new segment: “Defend That Tweet.”

But this episode isn’t just Twitter drama. We dive deep into:

• How Nick built a $150M storage empire
• Why he believes "common things done uncommonly well" is the secret to real wealth
• How to raise capital without begging
• What’s wrong with the current culture of entrepreneurship
• Why he picks fights online—and what it’s really done for his business

You might not agree with everything he says... but you won’t be able to stop listening.
