Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, guest host Nathan Griffis reconnects with longtime friend Erin Ondercin, Business Development Manager at Bowman, for a fun, high‑energy, insight‑packed conversation recorded at ICSC Florida 2025.
Erin shares how her background in bodybuilding and powerlifting cultivated the mental discipline, preparation, and adaptability that fuel her success in business development. She explains how competing as a “team of one” mirrors the reality of walking the ICSC floor—supported by a strong team but ultimately representing yourself and your company in each interaction.
This episode blends personal history, career wisdom, market insight, and genuinely hilarious moments, including a seventh‑grade dating mystery.
If you're in retail development, business development, engineering consulting, or simply love conversations centered around grit, growth, and great people, you’ll love this one.
This is the show built to build what's next. This is BUILT2SUIT.
