Wisdom for Wannabes Podcast Talks with visionary construction leader William S. Parrish, Jr.

Newark, NJ Wisdom for Wannabes podcast proudly announces a new in-depth interview with William S. Parrish, Jr., President & CEO of Noble Strategy, LLC, sustainability expert, real estate educator, and author of Making Bold Moves. In this episode, Parrish offers rare insight into construction management, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and 40+ years of shaping the New York–New Jersey real estate landscape.

Hosting the conversation is Jackie Morreale, the founder of Wisdom for Wannabes and an accomplished real estate and construction marketing professional with a background that includes work with Turner Construction’s New York office, one of the most respected builders in the industry. Morreale’s background brings an informed perspective to discussions of construction, project management, and leadership—making this episode especially relevant for real estate and development audiences.

Parrish explains how Noble Strategy functions as an owner’s representative, guiding projects from concept to completion: “Ideally, we come in as early as we can … we manage from the design completion, through the bid, through all the construction, to punch-list finishing.”

Reflecting on entrepreneurship, he emphasizes patience, adaptability, and long-term vision: “As an entrepreneur, you have to be available and open to pivot. Markets will change.”
“Maintaining relationships … being patient … will take you very far, no matter what industry you’re in.”

On sustainability and new technology, Parrish highlights the need for innovation in modern building: “Sustainability is crucial. Technology is revolutionizing construction.”

He also discusses his commitment to mentoring the next generation through his teaching at NYU’s Schack Institute of Real Estate: “Teaching is a way to give back … you’re obligated to go back and grab someone else, and teach.”

A standout moment includes Parrish recounting Noble Strategy’s work on One World Trade Center, where the firm served as sustainability coordinator—an achievement that further solidified its role in major regional development.
