    How Flexible Work Is Reshaping Commercial Real Estate | Kayley DiCicco

Kayley DiCicco, Director of Enterprise Sales at Expansive, joins Nathan to discuss why flexible workspace is becoming a long-term business strategy rather than a temporary solution. They explore how coworking has evolved beyond the WeWork era, why enterprise companies are demanding more adaptable real estate, and how AI is changing both headcount needs and the value of working together in person.

    AI Is Changing Work. What Happens to the Office? | Brett Hautop

    Brett Hautop, Founding Partner of WorkShape, joins The Workspace Talk Show to discuss why companies need to rethink how they measure offices, workplace strategy, AI, and the future of work. Instead of starting with desks, conference rooms, or attendance numbers, Brett argues that workplace leaders should start with outcomes: what people need to accomplish, what behaviors the space should support, and whether the office is actually helping the business.

    Where Real Estate Is Headed Next | Dr. Glenn Mueller’s Market Cycle Report

    Dr. Glenn Mueller joins The Work Space Talk Show to walk through his real estate market cycle report and explain what the data says about where the market is headed next. Nathan and Dr. Mueller discuss the leading indicators that contractors, developers, owners, and real estate teams should be watching, including population growth, GDP, employment, inflation, interest rates, local economic-base industries, demand and supply, occupancy, rent growth, capital flows, cap rates, and how different property types are moving through the cycle.

    The Case for Betting on America, AI, and Real Estate | Dr. Peter Linneman

    Dr. Peter Linneman joins The Workspace Talk Show for a wide-ranging conversation on real estate, capital markets, AI, productivity, and why long-term thinking matters in an industry built around long-term assets. Peter is the Founding Principal and CEO of Linneman Associates and a Professor Emeritus at Wharton. In this episode, he explains why real estate continues to hold his attention, how he thinks through short-term market shocks, why the U.S. remains a difficult market to bet against, and why he believes AI is more likely to create new opportunity than eliminate work entirely. The conversation also moves into Peter’s broader view on work, technology, success, and what it means to keep moving the ball forward over a long career.

    How the History of Homes and Cities Shapes How We Live | Stefan Al

    Architect and author Stefan Al joins us to talk about the long history of dwellings, and what that history reveals about the housing problems we face today. Stefan is a professor at Hunter College, a trained architect, and the author of "Dwelling on Earth". In this conversation, he and Nathan discuss how homes evolved from early shelters to dense Roman apartment buildings, why the home and workplace were once the same space, how zoning became one of the biggest barriers to new housing, and why converting empty offices into apartments is much harder than it sounds. They also get into mixed-use cities, the American single-family ideal, AI tools in architecture and planning, and why the built environment keeps forcing humans to solve new problems created by previous solutions.

    Why America Stopped Building Enough Housing | Dr. Joseph Gyourko

    America’s housing affordability problem is often discussed through prices, interest rates, investors, or politics. Dr. Joseph Gyourko argues that the core issue is more direct: we are not building enough housing where people want to live. In this episode of The Work Space Talk Show, Nathan Manuel talks with Dr. Joseph Gyourko, Martin Bucksbaum Professor of Real Estate, Finance and Business & Public Policy at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, about the history of housing affordability in the United States, the post-1970 shift in local zoning and supply restrictions, and the price-to-income ratio that explains why so many households feel squeezed. They also discuss institutional single-family rentals, whether banning institutional buyers actually helps renters, why the commonly cited housing shortage number may be too low, what China’s overbuilt housing market reveals about supply-side policy, and why local zoning boards often represent existing neighbors more clearly than future residents. For anyone working in real estate, construction, architecture, development, or public policy, this conversation connects housing economics to the systems that determine what actually gets built.

    How Capital, Brokers, and Relationships Shape What Gets Built | Brooke Gothard

    In this episode of The Work Space Talk Show, Nathan sits down with Brooke Gothard, Partner at Partners Real Estate, to talk about the relationship side of commercial real estate and how deals actually get done. Brooke shares how she grew up around the Atlanta commercial real estate business, built her career through CBRE and JLL, and eventually made the move to Partners Real Estate. The conversation covers brokerage, market knowledge, off-market deal flow, ownership, risk, investment opportunities, and why relationships still matter in an industry where data and AI are changing how people work.
