IN THE BLACK Changing the Dominant Narrative in the Commercial Real Estate Industry

Aaron Goodson performs this inspiring and instructive memoir with the same optimistic tone that permeates T. Dallas Smith's life journey. Smith grew up in a supportive Black family and trailblazed his way through the racial barriers he faced in commercial real estate. Goodson's vocal style is boyish, but it strengthens with conviction when the author describes how his career benefited from his Christian principles, his desire to help people, and the support of valuable mentors. Smith says he learned early how to read others because he never knew what attitudes to expect from white people. Along with providing strategies for honorable selling, this is a relatable lesson on the value of character, altruism, and faith in the goodness of people when pursuing any career.
