Keynote Topics

Built Environments that Bolster Community Health

The external environment impacts how we feel and interact with others. The built environment can foster or impede community-building, depending on the decisions of developers, investors, and more.

Changemakers in real estate can create purposeful communities by considering factors like accessibility, community meeting places, greenspaces, and more.

Joe offers deep insights and new questions, prompting audiences to consider what it might look like to mobilize real estate development for the common good.

Young Men’s Resiliency & Mental Health

As the National President of Pi Kappa Phi with a background in philanthropy and leadership, Joe speaks to the need for proactive support for young men. Happiness is a key component of every healthy community — and mental wellbeing is an often overlooked topic for fraternities, community organizations, and corporations alike. Norms around masculinity and taboos around mental health can make it especially difficult for young men to seek proactive support and build long-term resilience.

Drawing on his personal journey, Joe emphasizes how men’s resiliency and mental health are crucial components of larger healthy communities.

A Community Perspective on Real Estate

Joe’s leadership in commercial real estate development makes him an expert on the industry—and the possibilities for purpose-driven real estate projects that build healthier communities.

With a community perspective on real estate, more people can live, work, and play in environments equipped with the tools they need to build resiliency and pursue greater happiness.

Pulling from real-word examples, like his work on The Churchill Site, Joe encourages and challenges real estate professionals to reimagine the built environment.
