The Opportunity Zone Expo Podcast

This conversation with the founders of Hotbed Entertainment Group is easily the most unique podcast I've done yet. Hotbed combines both Real Estate development and an utterly unique Operating Business that can scale across OZ communities. Their offering has the staying power required by the patient investor and the tangible, long-term benefits demanded by the residents of opportunity zones. Seth Dunlap and Todd Perlmutter of Hotbed Entertainment Group are my guests on The OZExpo Podcast.

Avy Stein was already a successful entrepreneur, real estate investor and co-founder of one of the country's most innovative financial management companies. But a battle with cancer prepared him for a different kind of challenge in life. The Opportunity Zone program proved to be the perfect fit for a man who is commited to creating capitalism to drive results - especially in underinvested communities.

You wouldn't expect to hear a discussion of Immanuel Kant and his Categorical Imperative from a tax attorney. But Jon Talansky is no typical tax attorney. His broad education and deep experience reveal a humanity, expertise and wisdom that's rare in the cut-and-dried world of tax law, especially the Opportunity Zone. Jon Talansky of King & Spalding is my guest on this episode of The OZExpo Podcast.

As a rule, I don't host bankers here on The OZExpo Podcast. The reason is simple: in many ways, a bank is a bank is a bank. Yet I think we may have stumbled onto something different, something extraordinary. Dan Topple of Customers Bank embodies the spirit of the Opportunity Zone program. And he has the passion to help those who need it most, and the mandate and power of a private bank to get them that help. That's why he's our guest on this episode of The OZExpo Podcast.
