    High Value from this podcast
    Great conversational style, good choice of guests. I'm a pastor with some rent houses so the combination of testimony and business stories are perfect. I'm constantly learning from these.

    The Fort is a unique combination of breadth and depth. Chris seamlessly weaves between story, strategy, and practical tactics. It doesn’t matter what industry you are in bc it is guaranteed that you will be challenged, encouraged, and grow while listening. Our world would be better if there were more curious, authentic, rigorous leaders like Chris and his guests.

    Chris is a world class interviewer. What’s so great is that he’s an entrepreneur as well so he knows exactly what to ask. I’ve learned so much!

    Great!
    Just found this podcast, it’s amazing! But, I have to be careful to not drink the kool-aid when it comes to industrial real estate
  • T Web 23

    Chris at Fort Capital
    I’m always skeptical about these types of Podcast because it’s so easy for the host to just talk their own book but I love what Chris at Fort Capital presents and his guest give useful information which is refreshing. I love this Podcast!! Kyle Wilks.
  • iagtkm
    Interesting and Educational
    Chris is an amazing interviewer. Clearly well prepared and knowledgeable. Love the topics and information he gets his interviewees to share.
  • Brent Cheney
    Incredible Content!
    I came across The Fort with Chris Powers by a recommendation to listen to Episode 206 with Scott Everett, founder of S2. That show was fire, chalked full of content and genuine synergy between Chris & Scott. The show has become a favorite. Thanks for providing such great value Chris.
  • alexgregg
    Outstanding Podcast
    Episode 235 with Steve Robinson is amazing. Listening to it for the second time because it’s so good!
  • Frog Prof
    Makes me want to Work Harder Great Podcast, Great Man!
    Great Podcast! I love listening to Chris. He strives to attain great guests and asks deep questions.
  • JalfredP
    Absolutely Worthwhile Listening To
    This is a great podcast for anyone to listen to, not just those with an interest in Real Estate. Chris Powers and the thoughtful and successful individuals he has on his podcast engage in meaningful, intelligent, and real-time market conversations that are very worthwhile listening to. I had the privilege of listening to Mr. Powers during a presentation he made at TCU this year, and his knowledge, experience, connections in the buisness world of real estate is so extensive I felt like I should have been paying to be at that presentation. This podcast is an extension of that, and the fact that it’s free to the listeners is a huge bonus they should take full advantage of. Thank you, Chris Powers
  • DonaldKeyman
    Are You Kidding Me?
    Amazing real time market commentary from local market experts and just sitting here at everyone’s finger tips (for free!). A must-listen for anyone paying attention to the DFW industrial market in this inflationary, raising interest rate environment.

    Helps me think about my business
    Very good pod series. Even a non-RE biz person will get a lot out of this. Chris is a good interviewer and asks smart questions. Interesting guest!
  • Millertime_37
    Business is boomin!
    Transparent convos with real people moving the needle. The JRE of biz :-)
  • CJFalk
    Thoughtful Conversations
    I like Chris’s approach w/guests w/well thought out questions and he’s a good listener. Some pod hosts are too busy interrupting guests. I like that he covers many different sides of the CRE biz.
  • Jjjjjjjjjghftdyg
    Great Podcast
    While it’s about real estate and investing at its core, they bridge all topics in an entertaining way. Great representatives of Fort Worth as well.
  • Urbndwlr

    10/10
    I look forward to every Tuesday’s new episode! Chris is a great host who allows his guests to tell their story with thought-provoking questions. You do not have to be in Real Estate to enjoy this podcast.
  • fyiytdscgiye3567788
    A really well done show
    I’m not a broker or full time real estate professional, but I still find the show to be extremely insightful and entertaining. It’s a very unique mix of guests that are each able to deliver great information in an engaging way and Chris does a really good job at interviewing them in a humble way. I’ve ended up following multiple guests after their appearance on the show. Really well done!
  • Phunky b
    Enjoyable
    I really enjoy the conversations and subject matter of this podcast
  • C Ludeman
    Favorite RE / Biz Podcast
    After reaching out to ReTwit for RE podcasts to follow, many pointed me to Chris and the FORT. I started listening to the FORT and maybe 4 other recommendations, but Chris’s show is by far my favorite. More than just RE, I love that he covers a diverse set of guests from other businesses and investing. Even when I think a speaker will not interest me personally, Chris brings out aspects of their expertise that are interesting and relevant. It’s clear he does his research and takes this interviews seriously. His questions are thoughtful and he is not afraid to ask the speakers to go into more details that he is not familiar with. I have put some podcasts on hold as I find myself hungry to listen through the backlog. On a technical note, the podcast is well produced with even volume levels throughout and clear speaking without being over produced. I am able to listen to most episodes at 1.5 speed which is very helpful. I highly recommend the FORT if you are interested in anything business related, nut just RE. And thanks for taking the time and effort to do this Chris!

    Trust me, JUST LISTEN. The rest will follow
    My boss develops major industrial developments across the north-East urban infill markets. I stumbled across Chris on Twitter since I started working (I’m 22). Chris, After going through your entire twitter page, I just finished the first podcast. I’ll skip the stuff viewers prob wouldn’t care for, but let’s just say Im hooked. My first thoughts, which I felt in my bones, after listening to your first podcast were, so where do I sign up? And that’s exactly what I’m gonna do now. Sign up. Get up and Show myself what I’m capable of. Thank you to Jason Baxter and the legend from PCU as well! Best of luck. You’ll be seeing me whether you like it or not😆. 10/18 I’m back. Just listened to your LIFE CHANGING talk with Kevin Lackey. DUDES. you guys are my new life coaches, my new role models, my new rabbis even LOL! Wow! Thank you from the depths of my heart. There’s a saying in Judaism - Doing good for one, is like doing good for a world - since one person has the power to change the world (as you discussed on this very podcast). You've both changed my world. God blessed me with listening to this podcast at this point in my life. Chris, keep it up.
  • Supine Develop
    THE Go to podcast for CRE
    Chris’ podcast is essential for anyone practicing commercial real estate. Awesome interviews with interesting people in the business and Chris is very forward thinking on the intersection of technology and real estate/business growth. As a bonus, he mixes in super interesting interviews with leaders in small business, private equity and technology.
  • jjs0234
    Great show
    Chris is a very approachable and grounded host and has great guests. Highly recommend.
  • Ghetto guy34
    Great podcast and very informative
    As someone who is looking to make a career change and get into CRE, this podcast has greatly improved my knowledge of the industry. On top of the knowledge it has helped me narrow down what specific asset class and line of work I want to pursue. Highly recommend this podcast!
  • ScaryDinosaur1108
    Outstanding
    Chris does a great job of diving into wide-ranging subjects, asking probing questions which results in stimulating and informative discussions. One of the best out there!
  • pegapo
    Inspirational and REAL!
    Chris does an amazing job of getting guests to tell their stories in a way that goes well below the surface! His ability to get guests to open up is amazing! Thank you.
  • dan sedona
    Great podcast for enhancing skills of real estate syndication
    I’m new to syndicating real estate deals and the episodes Chris does solo that teaches many nuances behind this lucrative industry were extremely helpful in my growth.
  • TaroccoRose
    Inspiring!
    Best podcast to listen to while I’m working out. Usually go back and listen again to the ones I want to take some notes. I always take something from each podcast that I can integrate into my thoughts, planning, and implementation. My response to how one feels about the mass of coastal population moving to Texas…Welcome! But, “Don’t Mess With Texas!”
  • michaelbrom
    Favorite podcast
    Definitely my favorite podcast. I’ve listened to the most recent 20 episodes and now I’ve started from the first one. Chris is a great interviewer and his guests are top notch. Highly recommend listening if you are interested in real estate, entrepreneurship, small business, etc.

  • ATX unhandy man
    Can’t stop listening to all of Chris’ podcasts.
    Chris is a real estate guy. But don’t assume this is a real estate podcast. Yes, he interviews extremely interesting real estate people from all side of a deal, but there is so so much more. First, Chris is very very prepared for his interviews. He goes deep purposely and brings out real actionable business tidbits from everyone he interviews. He ranges from franchise restaurant owner to CEO super coach to flipping web sites, to CRE. Look at the library and pick your wheelhouse. Finally, I like Chris’ personal way about his interviews. Seems like a nice and honorable guy to know.
  • tommywarboys
    Favorite Real Estate Podcadt
    Chris is beyond generous with his experiences and his company’s process for evaluating real estate. Most people don’t share their secret sauce to this extent and it’s delivered in such a real and honest way. Podcast unlike any other.
  • CJB1226
    Great Real Estate and Entrepreneurship Podcast
    This is my favorite podcast. Chris does a great job of landing quality guests, asking pointed questions and getting in depth answers. It’s an especially fun listen for real estate, but entrepreneurs and other businesses people will also find it to be a good listen.
