Not to mention - he has fun doing it! His clients and teammates are all folks who you can trust with a handshake. Life is too short to operate any other way. Ward enjoys reading, writing and speaking about CRE, eCommerce and the logistics industry. He hosts the Truckin’ On podcast and has been featured on other podcasts like the GaryVee Audio Experience, The Cardone Zone and Supply Chain Now. Ward also has been interviewed by multiple publications including the Wall Street Journal and has been a featured speaker at multiple real estate and logistics conferences around the globe.
