Listen to The Inside Deal Podcast

Exciting news — our alumni-hosted podcast is officially launched!

The Inside Deal Podcast

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to build something extraordinary — not from a textbook, but from the trenches — this is The Inside Deal. Hosted by fellow alum Sam Schneider, Managing Partner at Imperium Capital, the show sits down with operators, investors, entrepreneurs, and dealmakers who’ve built remarkable careers from the inside out.

Real estate is in the show’s DNA, but the conversations go far beyond it — these are candid, tactical, and deeply human stories about risk, resilience, and the decisions that changed everything.

Tune in and hear lessons that rarely make it into conference panels or social media posts — straight from people who’ve lived it.

Mentorship Program

Join the Weiser Center community as a mentor by getting paired one-on-one with a current student for the year. It’s a chance to reconnect with Michigan, share your experience with the next generation, and build a lasting relationship with a future real estate professional.

Networking Events

Stay connected to the Weiser Center community by joining us at alumni networking events throughout the year. These gatherings are a chance to reconnect with classmates, meet current students, and build relationships with fellow professionals across the real estate industry.
