    Yehuda Katz riskremedy io interview on NEREJ NYREJ Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail Support our Podcast:   https://www.buzzsprout.com/1899808/support Rick Kaplan host of NEREJ/NYREJ Podcast interviews CEO and co-founder of RiskRemedy Yehuda Daniel Katz, based at the Columbia Startup Lab in New York, and I spend my days reading commercial insurance policies line by line. Our team has analyzed more than 2 million commercial endorsements, which gives me an unusual view of how policy language is changing, especially on contractor and real estate policies. I write a weekly series, "Exclusion of the Week," that breaks down a real (anonymized) endorsement and what it means for the owners, contractors and brokers relying on it. This interview would be educational: findings and practical checklists your audience can use, not a product pitch. 1) Why a certificate of insurance isn't proof of coverage, and the endorsements owners and property managers should ask to see before hiring a contractor. 2) Real examples from contractor policies: a 20-foot work height limit on a facade contractor (think Local Law 11 work), exclusions for condo and office-to-residential conversions, and subcontractor conditions that can void coverage over one missing piece of paperwork. 3) New language showing up in the surplus lines market, like a definition of bodily injury that removes genetic and epigenetic claims and medical monitoring on an abatement contractor's policy, and what it signals about where claims are heading. 4) What owners, developers and property managers can do about it: what to write into contracts, what to ask their broker, and a simple checklist for reviewing a contractor's policy.

    Alex Taylor CommercializeIQ interviw on NEREJ NYREJ Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail Please Support the NEREJ/NYREJ Podcast:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/1899808/support Rick Kaplan host of the NEREJ/NYREJ podcast interviews Alex Taylor of CommercializeIQ.     www.commercializeIQ Commercial real estate is entering a period where AI and technology are going to materially change how people work, make decisions, and operate portfolios, but I think a lot of the conversation is still either too theoretical or too focused on the technology itself. I’d like to have a practical discussion about what is actually changing inside CRE, where AI is useful today, where the hype gets ahead of reality, and how owners, operators, developers, retailers, and asset managers should be thinking about the next several years. There is a much bigger conversation here than any one product or platform. I’ve spent 15+ years at the intersection of commercial real estate and technology. I’ve built and scaled multiple multi-million-dollar PropTech companies, had three successful startup exits, and I’m now in my fourth founder/co-founder seat. What makes my perspective a little different is that I’m not coming at CRE as a software outsider. I’ve also been a commercial real estate owner, investor, developer, and operator. I’ve sat on both sides of the table, building technology for the industry while also living the operational problems that technology is supposed to solve. Support the show

    Jerry Donnini of Sales TaxHelper interview on NEREJ NYREJ Podcast

    Send us Fan Mail Support this podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1899808/support Rick Kaplan Host of NEREJ/NYREJ Podcast guest is Jerry Donnini founder and CEO of SalesTaxHelper.    www.salestaxhelper.com Jerry  built his career helping businesses navigate complex sales and use tax matters. My work includes audit defense, disputes, appeals, litigation, nexus and multi-state compliance issues. I regularly work with businesses facing state revenue agencies and help them understand their exposure, respond strategically and develop more defensible processes going forward. My experience gives me a firsthand perspective on the mistakes businesses commonly make, how tax issues escalate and the practical steps organizations can take to reduce risk. Jerry discusses the sales tax issues that commercial real estate operators, property-related businesses and companies operating across multiple states should have on their radar. Topics could include how sales tax nexus is changing, common compliance mistakes, what can trigger an audit, what actually happens once a state revenue agency begins asking questions and how businesses can prepare before they find themselves in a costly dispute. I can also share practical examples of where businesses tend to get caught off guard and what a more proactive, defensible approach to sales tax looks like. Support the show

    Andy Carballeira talks Acoustics in buildings on NEREJ NYREj poodcast

    Send us Fan Mail Support this podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1899808/support Rick Kaplan host of NEREJ/NYREJ Podcast interviews Andy Carballeira of Acentech.    https://www.acentech.com/team-member/andrew-carballeira/ Andy would provide interesting insight to NEREJ's audience of developers, owners, architects, and construction professionals. Sound is often an 'after-thought' in AEC design, which can often lead to costly over-runs. Andy enjoys translating technical topics such as acoustics, sound isolation, and environmental noise control into practical insights for architects, owners, and developers. Andy will be discussing acoustics and noise & vibration control, perhaps in a general way, such as 'how sound impacts the success of buildings and communities' - or tailored to more specific sub-topics if desired.
