On the Opportunity Zone Expo Podcast, we have conversations with people who truly know the Opportunity
Zone market. From investors, fund managers and developers to tax specialists, politicians and attorneys,
our podcast will present the industry's most influential voices. If it involves Opportunity Zones, you'll hear about it here.

Attorney Ronnie Fieldstone has been spotting and taking advantage of opportunities longer than most of us. His track record is impressive. And His enthusiasm is telling. When he speaks, anyone with an interest in the OZ program should be listening.

Yet it has informed her choices in life and in her work. That's one reason why she's such a passionate and skillful advocate for the OZ program. And why she is so dedicated to seeing it succeed for everyone involved.

But his company - Real Capital Analytics - can help anyone involved in the OZ market make better, more informed decisions.
Jim Sanford of Sag Harbor Advisors has "been there and done that." From the S&L crisis of the early 90s, to the internet meltdown in the first part of this century, to the 2008 crisis, he is intimately familiar with the risks and rewards that await investors in the Opportunity Zone.
As Deputy Chief of Staff for the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, she was intimately involved in the process that designated opportunity zones. Now, as the co-founder of Madison Street Strategies, she guides clients through the maze of OZ restrictions and requirements.
