We flipped the script and put Willy in the interviewee's seat. He was joined by his friend, Danny Gabriel – CEO of real estate, construction, and investment firm, ColRich (https://colrich.com/) and longtime fundraiser for Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) – who asked him questions from the audience.

They covered a variety of topics from his daily routine, greatest fears, what drives him to succeed, how he avoids burnout, whether or not he’d run for office, private vs. public markets, interest rates, institutional capital, debt funds, and much more.

Watch or listen to the replay.

If you have any comments or questions, please reach out to your main Walker & Dunlop point of contact. We are all available to answer questions and provide assistance. Additionally, if you have topics you would like covered during one of our future webcasts, we would be happy to take your suggestions.
