In this episode of the NRG Insights Rising Stars series, Marcus and Caelen talk about building a career in bridging finance.
Marcus sits down with Caelan Gokani from REIM Capital, a young professional making a name for himself in the bridging and development finance space. Caelan didn’t come into the industry with a ready-made client list or years of experience.

• The power of mentorship in shaping a young career
• What he’s building with the Young People in Bridging Association
• How to grow a personal brand in the property finance industry
• Why being yourself is the best way to build long-term trust with brokers and clients
• What new brokers and BDMs can do right now to stand out

If you’re managing young talent, starting out in sales, or just figuring out how to grow in bridging and development finance – this one’s full of lessons you can actually use.
