Same goes for whatever you watch on TV, whatever podcasts you listen to, and if your friends aren't in the industry ditch them for people who are.  Notably people in the industry that are now where you eventually want to be.\n\nBasically slash and burn everything that has nothing to do with commercial real estate.

Worst case you will find out what you are not interested in.
