About the Commercial Real Estate (CRE) Podcast
Launched in 2016, the CRE Podcast was the first dedicated to Canadian commercial real estate, created by Aaron Cameron and Adam Powadiuk to fill a gap in engaging industry content. Today, it’s a trusted platform featuring candid conversations with industry leaders, uncovering insights through authentic storytelling.
Since partnering with Canadian Real Estate Forums in 2019, the podcast has expanded its reach, recording live at events, producing webinars, and interviewing top real estate voices.
Aaron Cameron
In 2008, Aaron began in the Canadian commercial real estate industry at First National Financial. In his journey to becoming Assistant Vice President of Commercial Operations, he worked in every department in First National’s commercial division. As a lender, Aaron believes that his exposure to all asset classes, deal types, products and precedents gives him a unique perspective.
For Aaron, commercial real estate is an evolving interdependence between economics and relationships. As the co-creator and host of the Commercial Real Estate Podcast, he is excited to offer a platform where real estate leaders can share their stories about how those two fundamentals intersect.
Adam Powadiuk
Adam started working in commercial real estate in 2010 and joined First National Financial in 2012. But his interest and passion were piqued early on in life. Growing up in a real estate family, Adam has childhood memories of walking land and touring buildings. He always knew that real estate was a viable career opportunity and a way to contribute to something tangible that affects people’s lives positively.
Before co-creating the podcast, Adam spent a lot of time immersed in real estate and talking about it, even outside of work. He wanted to share his love of that banter and analysis while allowing listeners into the brightest minds in the industry.
