In this episode of The Professor Nick Show, Nick Norris of Ventura College is joined by two very special guests: M. Ryan Gorman, CEO of Coldwell Banker, and Dr. Michael Gorman, President of Salem Community College in New Jersey. The interview with the father and son duo is a follow up to the episode last month that featured Ariel Palmieri and further discusses the overlap between community college, real estate, and economic development.

During their conversation, Professor Nick and the Gormans discuss the role that community colleges play in helping students achieve their goals, how real estate and economic development are connected, the importance of small businesses during a time of economic recovery, and how young, entrepreneurial students can leverage the resources provided by community college to pursue their dreams.

M. Ryan Gorman is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, the original Silicon Valley real estate startup founded in 1906 in San Francisco. He additionally serves as the president and CEO of Realogy Brokerage Group (formerly NRT, LLC) including the company-owned brokerage offices doing business as Coldwell Banker Realty. Prior to serving as President and CEO of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC and Realogy Brokerage Group, Gorman served as NRT’s Chief Strategy and Operating Officer and as its Senior Vice President, Strategic Operations where he brought a heightened focus on service delivery, defined a comprehensive integrated growth strategy and leveraged the resources of NRT and Realogy to drive a superior experience for affiliated agents, employees and consumers.
