    The Intelligent Developers Podcast - Season 6 Episode 2 - The Investor Mindset with Richard Roberts

    In this episode, Jerrod Delaine and Andre Bueno sit down with Richard Roberts for a wide-ranging discussion on leadership, public-private problem solving, and the realities of scaling impact in affordable housing. Richard walks through his professional trajectory—from growing up in Akron, Ohio and attending Yale College and Yale Law School, to serving in New York City government, including senior leadership at the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). He offers a grounded, operator’s view of how large public agencies function, describing HPD’s three-part mandate and the responsibility of leading at scale early in one’s career. The conversation then turns to Richard’s transition into institutional finance at Goldman Sachs’ Urban Investment Group, where he developed an investor mindset and gained exposure to private equity decision-making and risk evaluation. He later assumed a leadership role at Redstone, a national real estate investment firm that deploys capital nationwide across more than 40 states to finance both new construction and the preservation of affordable housing. He explains why affordable housing investing is structured yet highly judgment-based—equal parts art and science—requiring an understanding of policy, local context, and partner credibility in addition to the project’s numbers. The episode closes with a candid conversation on self-awareness and professional development: Richard shares what he learned when he attempted to become a developer, what roles best fit different skill sets, and what advice he would give his younger self about leaning into discomfort and strengthening weaknesses rather than working around them.
