Beyond the Resume Podcast with Peter DiCorpo (AI, Leadership, and Real Estate’s Future)

On this episode of Beyond the Resume, hosts Chris Papa and Lisa Flicker welcome Peter DiCorpo, co-founder of Brook Farm Group, for a candid conversation about his journey from auditor at Arthur Andersen to building a multifamily development company during one of the most challenging real estate markets in decades.

Peter shares how deep friendships, trust, and complementary skillsets fueled the launch of Brook Farm Group during COVID, and how the firm has already delivered projects in Georgia and Florida despite market headwinds. He reflects on the lessons from working at global institutions like AIG and CBRE, the freedom and speed of entrepreneurship, and why capital raising requires persistence, honesty, and long-term relationships.
