Boy, am I excited to share with you all this week’s episode of Finding Home. (and that’s an understatement).

I was lucky to get to talk with Megan Mylan, who is an Oscar-winning documentary film director. You might be familiar with her current documentary, Simple as Water, or her excellent Lost Boys of Sudan - or Oscar-winner Smile Pinki.

Megan’s films aren’t a casual watch - they delicately unravel the more difficult parts of life: separation, displacement, family struggle, and the impacts of war.

In her most recent film, Simple as As Water, Megan paints an intimate portrait of the impact of war, separation, and displacement of Syrian families. It’s a tough but an urgent and timeless portrait. The film is much more than just a conversation about the devastation of war. It’s about the steadfast power of parental love.

Proud to share this conversation with you all. I hope you enjoy. And if you haven’t already, watch Simple As Water on HBO.

“You keep using that word. I do not think that means what you think it means.”

What exactly does “river view” mean? What does “central air conditioning” mean?

How can you build trust when words aren’t always used properly in the real estate market?

Today, my fellow co-worker at the Harris Residential Team, Jonathan, “Yoni” Goldstein and I talk about, and discuss solutions to misused language in real estate marketing. Yoni and I get a bit, “nerdy” if you will - and we dive deeply into the intersection between language and finding “home”.

Growing up in Westchester County, Jonathan is no stranger to New York City - and his personal and career expertise shines in our conversation today. Jonathan joined The Harris Residential Team after a successful 10-year career working for L+M Development Partners. Jonathan played a key role in the pre-development, construction, preservation, and development of over 6,000 residential units across New York City. He has lived in many Manhattan neighborhoods over the past decade, and currently resides in Murray Hill.
