About this episode
Arthur Samet has spent 35 years transforming the Southeast's built environment — from industrial megasites to healthcare campuses to a beloved downtown concert venue. As CEO of Samet Corp., the company his father founded in 1961, Arthur has grown the firm to over 500 associates across six offices and about $1 billion in annual revenue. But there's more to Arthur than large-scale construction.
In this episode, Arthur talks about entrepreneurship, risk tolerance and the story behind The Pyrle — a live music venue he and his partners carved out of Greensboro's historic Triad Stage theater. We also dig into the future of North Carolina's megasites, how AI and robotics could reshape the region's economic landscape, the appeal of coastal markets, and his advice on boardroom leadership.
If you're interested in real estate development, economic growth in the Southeast, or the risk-taking mentality of an entrepreneur, this episode is for you.
