In this episode of Success in Square Feet, Julia sits down with Matt Troutt, Vice President at EastGroup Properties, for a grounded and refreshingly honest look at career growth inside the commercial real estate world.Matt shares his path into commercial real estate, beginning with wildlife management and moving through oil and gas, brokerage, and ultimately asset management and development at one of the country’s leading industrial REITs. He opens up about learning to choose the path that actually fits, rather than the one that simply looks impressive on paper.Together, Julia and Matt talk about navigating career pivots with clarity, the value of real, candid mentorship, finding your place within the many lanes of the industry, balancing ambition with a growing family, and how community engagement can reshape your understanding of leadership and community.This is a conversation grounded in real experience, with no ego and no posturing, and it offers a thoughtful look at what it takes to build a meaningful career in commercial real estate.Episode CreditsHost and Producer: Julia BeckmanFollow Success in Square Feet on Instagram: @successinsqftConnect with Julia on LinkedInListen, share with a friend or colleague, and don't forget to rate and review!Click here for more information about the podcast.The Success in Square Feet podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
