    Jul 22 2025

    In this raw and unfiltered debut episode, I share the truth behind why I created The Commercial Builders’ Network.

    It’s not pretty, polished, or performative—it’s real. From being burned in real estate to watching so many of our people get boxed out of opportunities, this episode is for the dreamers, the doers, and the builders who’ve had enough.

    You’ll hear my blunt truth and my deep love for my people—especially those trying to make it in commercial construction, real estate, and business.

    This is where it begins.

  • From Denied Leases to Perfect Properties: Chiko Abengowe’s Real Estate Playbook
    Jul 22 2025

    In this episode of The Commercial Builders’ Network, I sit down with serial entrepreneur Chiko Abengowe — the visionary behind Perfect Office, Perfect Staffing, and Perfect Property.

    We get into the real side of commercial real estate—the discrimination, the pushback, and the wins that come with refusing to fold.

    Chiko shares:

    • What it was like being rejected by landlords for being a single Black man
    • Why rejection fueled his empire
    • How he created opportunities not just for himself, but for others


    His story is powerful, practical, and personal—and it’s a roadmap for any entrepreneur building in spaces not made for us.
