Real Estate to Running for Congress: Jason Friedman's Civic Experiences

Jason Friedman joins the Green Brick Road Podcast to break down how a career built in real estate and business leadership can translate into real world civic impact, and why he’s now running for Congress. Jason walks through the different hats he’s worn across the private sector, what those roles taught him about decision making, accountability, and building outcomes that last, and how that experience shapes his approach to public service and campaign leadership. We get into what it actually takes to step into the arena: building a team, earning trust, communicating under pressure, and staying focused when it’s not glamorous.Jason’s message is simple and direct: don’t be shy, bet on yourself, and take action before you feel perfectly ready. He also shares the mindset that has carried him through tough seasons in business and politics: “enjoy the suck”embrace the grind, learn from the discomfort, and keep showing up when it’s hard. If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, real estate, leadership, or what it looks like to move from the private sector into public service, this episode delivers practical perspective and a high level look at how business principles can drive community focused change.
