Zeus Hernandez

Welcome back to The Zeus Hernandez Show. In Episode #20, I sit down with Tim Jemal, a mission-driven leader with over 30 years of experience in commercial real estate, public policy, education, and nonprofit leadership. As the first-ever CEO of NAIOP SoCal and President of the Board of Trustees for South Orange County Community College District, Tim has helped shape California’s real estate landscape while developing the next generation of civic and business leaders. In this episode, we dive into the future of commercial real estate, the power of advocacy, the role of community colleges in driving equity, and what it means to lead with purpose in times of rapid change. Whether you're a student, policymaker, or real estate professional, this conversation will leave you inspired and informed.
