***ABOUT THIS WEEK'S GUEST***
Chad Roffers is the Chairman of global luxury real estate company, Concierge Auctions. Chad Roffers initial passion for technology was what ultimately led to his real estate career. He was fortunate to work with the founding team of eBay in the time before the company went public, and it was his experience there which ultimately sparked a lightbulb moment for Chad.
