The Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate Podcast Series
Episode 4: Jess Gianulias & Paul Braun
Episode 4 of the TCMCRE Podcast is now available, featuring a special conversation with JLL San Diego’s Healthcare Practice Group. Every industry talks about succession. Very few talk about stewardship. Paul Braun has spent decades building more than a career in healthcare real estate. He’s built trust. The kind of trust and unwavering loyalty to those around him that is earned one conversation, and one deal at a time. In fact, it is this exact dedication to his relationships that shaped him into California’s first healthcare brokerage specialist. Respected throughout the industry, Paul has never been one to seek recognition. Instead of chasing accolades, he has built his legacy by quietly elevating the people and partnerships around him. Jess Gianulias represents the next generation of that same philosophy. An SDSU alumna, healthcare broker at JLL, and Chair of The Corky McMillin Center for Real Estate Associate Board, she’s building her career with the same commitment to relationships, service, and lifelong learning. She didn’t wait for a title to start leading. She simply stepped up. Together, they represent something we don’t talk about enough in commercial real estate: what happens when mentorship becomes partnership, when experience meets fresh perspective, and when both generations recognize they still have something to learn from one another. This isn’t just a conversation about healthcare real estate. It’s a conversation about legacy, leadership, and the relationships that shape an industry.
