It's the conversation we're all having. Seattle is a tech city. Whether you like it or not technology is here to stay. And with it comes higher cost of living, beautiful new buildings and more people. On today's episode Tyler sits down with Paul Peterman, the Regional President of Compass. Compass is a heavily funded real estate startup that just opened its tech center in Amazon's SLU neighborhood. Paul has spent his career helping companies innovate and reach their full potential.
