In this special live episode from The Real Deal Forum, Brown Harris Stevens’ Chief Marketing Officer Matt Leone sits down with three dynamic figures in the industry, BHS agents Daniella Schlisser and Ari Meridy, as well as CEO of XL Real Property Management Dylan Pichulik for a candid roundtable conversation about how and why they’ve made podcasting and short-form video part of their already jam-packed careers.

From managing properties to brokering top-tier deals, these professionals are not only building their businesses but also shaping the future of real estate content. They open up about how content has helped them establish thought leadership, foster community, and create real impact—both professionally and personally.

Each panelist brings a unique motivation to the table: Dylan uses his podcast to educate the industry on overlooked but vital property management topics; Daniella’s show “Rise and Thrive” explores stories of resilience and reinvention, providing space for deeper human connection; and Ari’s lighthearted series “The 13th Floor” offers comedic relief and behind-the-scenes access to real estate life. Together, they discuss how being in front of the camera builds confidence, sharpens communication skills, and creates unexpected moments of connection. Whether you're in real estate or simply passionate about storytelling, this episode is a thoughtful look at how purpose-driven content can elevate a career—and a community.
