The 14th Annual Forecast Conference is just around the corner and Illinois Real Estate Journal can’t wait to hear from the outstanding lineup of speakers on January 20.

While many may know some of the speakers professionally, aren’t we all just a little bit curious of what they do in their spare time?

IREJ is, and for that reason, we caught up with a few to get a glimpse of what they like to do for fun.

Like Joe Smazal. At work, he’s managing partner at Interra Realty, generating business as an investment sales broker. But on his time off, he starts his day at the gym and ends it relaxing with his wife and his friends.

Smazal, moderator of the multifamily break-out panel, gives us an inside look at what guests can expect to hear at the conference. In this Q&A, he also talks advice, golf, that time he met “The Gronk,” and what’s on his bucket list.
