[00:00:00] What if I told you that some of the most profitable investment opportunities are hiding in plain sight in communities that others have written off? Hi, I'm Brian Seidensticker, co founder of Last Best Partners, and through my work in real estate investing and developing software that served thousands of investors nationwide, I've seen firsthand how right opportunities can create both strong returns and positive community impact. [00:00:23] Welcome to Distress to Success, a new podcast where we discover how savvy investors and entrepreneurs are profitably transforming underserved communities through strategic investment and innovative business models. Over the years, I've watched incredible leaders turn distressed assets into thriving neighborhoods while building sustainable businesses. Developers who saw potential in forgotten areas of Detroit, community organizations making a real impact in underserved areas and local entrepreneurs in Cleveland, Memphis and across the Rust Belt who found opportunity where others saw only problems. In every episode, I'll sit down with these transformational leaders, the developers, business owners and investment professionals who've successfully brought private capital into areas that traditional investors overlook. We'll dive deep into the strategies from low income housing tax credits to creative financing solutions that actually work. Whether you're a high net worth investor looking for impact opportunities, a local developer working to improve your community, or professional in community development, you'll walk away from each conversation with actionable strategies you can implement. This isn't about theory or feel good stories. These are real people generating real returns while creating lasting community impact. [00:01:36] Because here's what I've learned the best investments don't just build wealth, they build communities. I'm excited to share these conversations with you.
