We are so excited for the guests that we have with us today. Dave Lucas is the founder and president of Monarch Commercial Advisors, which is one of the nation's leading retail investment sales firms. And he is based in Northern California, but he does work nationally. Dave has just done this incredible job of representing some of the top retail assets in the country and also advising some of the top industry investors on where to place their capital. And so today we have a front row seat. Today, his story, his company, and kind of where he sees the market going in the next 12 to 24 months. So without further ado, Dave, welcome to Breaking Brand. I'm so excited to be here. So impressed with what you guys have done with this podcast. As you know, or maybe as the listeners don't know yet, I started off in the Central Valley doing deals with your dad a year ago. And so I've been a big fan from the beginning. Bradley, as we started working on stuff in Texas, as soon as you guys launched the podcast, I've just been a huge fan from the beginning and love what you guys are doing. I know how much work you Dave and to stay consistent and continue to produce great material. It's just been awesome. Thank you so much. That's so kind. Yeah, you're one of our best supporters and we appreciate that. And it is a lot of work. So thank you for your acknowledgement. I know, but you're so right, Dave. It's been so great kind of getting to work together or start to work together over the last, I don't know, has it been like 12 months or so? Yeah, as you expand your footprint into Texas. And one of the reasons I was so excited for today is because I had the privilege of having a little bit of a front row seat to watching you pitch business, watching you execute business, watching you win business. And it's been really impressive. And I'm not exaggerating when I say you are so top of class. And most all your clients know that not saying anything new, but just the way you approach business is really unique and really ahead in shoulders above what I've seen a lot of other groups doing. So excited to get into everything today. And so just to kick it off for our listeners who maybe don't know who you are or who Monarch is, give us the elevator pitch. Who is Dave? What is Monarch and what's your value proposition in the marketplace? Yeah, great question. And thank you so much for the flattering introduction. Monarch commercial advisors.
