Brad Inman spent 40+ years revolutionizing how the real estate industry communicates and innovates, transforming from a San Francisco Examiner journalist to founding Inman News—the industry's most trusted media empire. After selling to Beringer Capital in 2021, this serial entrepreneur who launched platforms like HomeGain, TurnHere, and ClimateCheck is now disrupting the longevity space with Livelong Media.

In this episode, he reveals why homes will come to consumers (not the other way around), how AI is creating "godlike" capabilities in real estate, and the tenacious mindset that helped him champion tech underdogs when the industry feared innovation. From interviewing Barbara Corcoran's mic-stealing moment to buying a San Francisco home to be at the center of AI development, Brad shares the unfiltered truth about building media empires, embracing failure, and why authenticity beats perfection every time.
