If you’re in the Commercial Real Estate world in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Market, you’ve probably heard the name Chris Simmons. 
With his larger-than-life personality combined with the amount of knowledge he holds; it is to no surprise the standout leader he is and the impact he has on the industry.
With over 25 years' experience, Chris is a Managing Director of Retail Services at Transwestern and has completed over 2,000 lease, sale, and built-to-suit transactions representing almost eleven million square feet of retail space. 
In this episode, Chris discusses everything from how working in the world of commercial real estate seemed more exciting than his original career path in aviation, who helped him ‘learn the game’ in the business, and that it doesn’t matter what school you went to or what degree you have, but honesty, mentorship, and outworking everyone else are the main contributors to success.
