Welcome back to Make. Manage. Multiply. with Mike Jungen!

What if every home, office building, school, or commercial property had a permanent identity—just like your car has a VIN number?

In this episode, Mike sits down with Trevor Vick, Founder & CEO of UMIP, to discuss Persistent Infrastructure Identity (PIID)—a revolutionary concept that could completely change how we buy, sell, insure, maintain, and understand real estate.

From homeowners and investors to insurance companies, municipalities, and commercial real estate professionals, this technology has the potential to reshape an industry worth more than $600 trillion.

Trevor explains how PIID creates a digital identity for physical infrastructure, making it possible to track a property's history, maintenance records, permits, storm damage, contractors, ownership data, and much more—all through one standardized identity.

Whether you're interested in real estate, entrepreneurship, technology, investing, construction, insurance, or building innovative companies, this conversation is packed with insights on creating solutions that solve real-world problems.
