About this episode

Malcolm Johnson, founder and CEO of Langdon Park Capital, shares an unconventional path from Northeast D.C. to Notre Dame, the NFL, and Wall Street — and why he ultimately bet his career on workforce and affordable housing. In conversation with Steven Ames, Malcolm breaks down what "cultural competency" really means in property management, how he navigated the Great Financial Crisis at Bank of America, and why the housing shortage is an economic crisis hiding in plain sight. Plus his playbook for young professionals on discipline, authenticity, and why emotional intelligence still beats AI.
