Meet The Hosts
Branson Bowen
Branson Bowen believes the spaces we build shape the lives we live. Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, his career has been driven by an interest in connecting people, place and opportunity through commercial real estate and development.
Branson began his career in investment sales with Marcus & Millichap before moving to Orlando, where he represented tenants, landlords and developers across the Southeast. His experience on both the transaction and development sides of the industry gave him a firsthand understanding of the challenges that arise between deal creation and project delivery — and the value of stronger alignment throughout the process.
That thinking led Branson to found Go Nexus, a technology platform designed to connect developers, contractors and vendors. He later relocated with his family to Charlotte to launch Interstruct Design + Build’s Charlotte office, where he leads the firm’s growth in the Carolinas and works across adaptive reuse, urban infill, healthcare and mixed-use development.
Today, Branson works at the intersection of real estate, design, construction and entrepreneurship. He brings that perspective to Beyond the Blueprint Podcast, exploring the decisions, relationships and ideas shaping commercial real estate and the communities being built around it.
Outside of work, Branson is committed to family, community and developing the next generation of leaders.
Taylor Clayton
Taylor Clayton brings a multidisciplinary perspective to commercial real estate, with a background spanning architecture, business and brokerage. He holds a Bachelor of General Architecture from Texas A&M University, with minors in economics and business, giving him an early foundation in both the built environment and the business decisions behind it.
Today, Taylor specializes in office tenant representation with Foundry Commercial in Charlotte, advising clients as they navigate real estate decisions and opportunities. His broader experience includes leases, acquisitions, dispositions, build-to-suits and design-build projects, giving him insight into the many considerations that shape a successful transaction and project.
On Beyond the Blueprint Podcast, Taylor brings the broker’s perspective to conversations about commercial real estate and development, exploring the relationships, decisions and market forces behind the projects shaping Charlotte and the Carolinas.
