As interest rates begin to ease and market confidence slowly returns, many are asking: Is real estate entering its next opportunity window?

On this episode of Next to Madison, I sit down with David Becker, real estate investor and leader at Time Equities, to break down what today’s shifting market really means — and how experienced investors think during moments of transition.

We discuss:

• What easing interest rates mean for real estate
• How smart money positions itself before momentum returns
• Why uncertainty still creates opportunity
• The long-term fundamentals behind real estate wealth
• What investors should be watching next

This is a clear, grounded conversation about how real estate evolves as conditions shift — without hype, fear, or headlines.

In this episode of Next to Madison, Madison sits down with Ron Barba to discuss his new political movement, “MAGA for Mamdani,” a bold and unconventional idea that’s sparking conversation by intentionally challenging political labels and assumptions.

Ron explains the purpose behind the movement, how controversy can be used as a tool to disrupt entrenched narratives, and why provoking discomfort can sometimes open the door to deeper understanding. Rather than pushing a traditional political agenda, this conversation explores the psychology of polarization, the power of reframing, and what happens when familiar slogans are flipped on their head.

This episode isn’t about telling listeners what to think — it’s about encouraging critical thought, curiosity, and honest dialogue in a time when political conversations often shut down before they begin.

Whether you agree, disagree, or fall somewhere in between, this episode invites you to listen beyond the headline and engage with the bigger conversation underneath.

Comedian and podcast host Paul Virzi joins Next to Madison for a real, hilarious conversation about comedy, relationships, and the myths we believe about success.

Paul shares what years of stand-up, marriage, and fatherhood have taught him about pressure, expectations, and why “making it” doesn’t magically solve your internal stuff. We talk about balancing ambition with real life, staying grounded in a chaotic industry, and the moments that keep comedians honest — onstage and off.

This episode is funny, thoughtful, and refreshingly human — the kind of conversation that reminds you why laughter and perspective matter just as much as achievement.
