Todays guest is steven ross an expert in persuasion. Persuasion is one of my favorite topics because everyday in multiple ways we play persuasion games. According to game theory everything we do is an act of persuasion---we do this at work, at home, with our kids and with our partners. For most of us---trying to get another to see the world as we see it is the most important thing and that is never truer than in business. Whether its on our instagram or on facebook we are trying to persuade othe...

Getting rich is rarely about being the smartest person in the room nor, is it always about taking gigantic risks and betting it all on black. More often than not, its about being in the right place at the right time and recognizing that the world is shifting beneath your feet. That's why the "luckiest" entrepreneurs often have a very diverse group of friends and interests. Today's guest recognized there was gold laying in plain sight.

Whether its from government intervention or tech innovation the way realtors have typically made a living are about to change. Some of the changes that have been proposed are small and relatively unimportant. A rule that was enacted across the board was that buyers agents could no longer advertise that there services were "free" and that agents could no longer "not" show a property due to the low co-op fee. Those seem pretty reasonable and were enacted by most MLS's across the nation. At the hea...

Today I talk with Matthew Ferry. Matthew is a long time and prominent coach to Wall Street folks, Fortune 500 CEOs and he even coaches someone in the royal family but, he doesnt divulge names which I can so very much appreciate. I bring Matthew on to talk about his brand of goal setting which he calls enlightened goal setting. Its a term which he has probably coined and I suggest you drop any preconceived notions about what it is and whether it will work for you. The reason why Matthew coaches p...

One thing that has really improved in this industry is technology--technology used to be your CRM now its the ability to send targeted ads to age groups, specific geography or category. One thing that is going to get better and better is predictive analytics. All kinds of companies are developing new predictive models. If companies better predict buying or selling behavior we can get in front of the seller sooner. Its going to be a while before these things really get sorted out so Im not worrie...

I hope you are killing it at the game of life. Every week I bring on someone that i think can add something to your business and life. Its a strange market out there and the people who are winning are the ones that are adding the most perceived value to the market. Heres a fact---most realtors look and sound the same and because most realtors look and sound the same consumers see them as a commodity. Whats the difference between shell gas and arco gas? Isnt gas just gas? Or is there something sp...

Hey everybody--today I bring on Michael Reddington. Michael is the founder of inquisitive and is a forensic interviewer. If you dont know what that is----I didnt either. Michael teaches CEOs how to apply investigative interviewing techniques in their roles as leaders in order to reach their vision and exert influence. Michael says the cognitive processes that drive interrogation suspects to say “I did it”, is the same process that drive customers to say “I’ll buy it” and employees to say “I’ll d...

This is a wobbly market and our way ahead is still uncertain from an economic perspective. Wall street is getting a little more nervous as inflation heats up and the biden administration today has proposed increasing capital gains which will be a forcing function to encourage wealthy people to move cash into tax deferred investment vehicles and there are agencies like the consumer finance bureau that are calling for a continued moratorium on rent and mortgages----all of this points to continued ...

Let me share a few thoughts before we get to the episode. one of the things to note about the current climate is the lack of inventory in every metro market in the united states. I just read that there are now two licensed realtors for each home listed. Those are unreal numbers and we need to consider the implications of the data. The average shelf life of an agent is 18 months-----career start to finish a year and a half---those agents that do make it will only sell an average of 8 to 12 sides ...

Today on the show I bring on a speaker, trainer and author. We talk about her new book brand clarity. we talk about what it really means to build a brand. I get frustrated many times when people speak of branding. Typically when people speak about branding they are talking about their logo or maybe they are talking about a particular ad campaign. I particularly hear this when I see someone spend money on some useless form of advertising-----when it doesnt work meaning generate actual calls they ...

Before we get to the episode I want to share with you some of the thoughts Ive had on this market. We spend a lot of time over here thinking about how this market is trending. We of course want to help our clients skate to where the puck is going rather than doing what it feels like most people are doing which is skating to where the puck is. Last year was impossible to ever get any sort of handle on the market longer than maybe a 3 month view and thats why the people that ran their business----...

Hey everybody---My guest today is charles mylinsky--- charles was part of the original team that started jet.com and later sold to walmart for 3.3billion. He is now the chief product officer at OJO Labs. I recently talked with Chris heller and found out that he joined ojolabs. Why would top talent like these two guys join a chatbot company? I am always compelled to look deeper when I see something that looks interesting OJO labs started in 2015 and to date has raised 134M in venture capital. How...

Hey everybody whats happening-=--I hope you are crushing it as this new year begins. The last few weeks I brought on some coaches---Im always interested in hearing what different coaches are advocating. The last person in this lineup was Bob Corcoran--If you dont know bob he is the guy behind the guy. At the next conference you go to---- If you see a person on stage getting an award for doing 100M or 200M in production there is a good chance they are either coaching with bob or have been in the ...

Today on the show I brought on a guy with a team of 3 did 100M in production last year. Obviously, the only way to do that level of production is when your selling luxury. Selling luxury is not only ridiculously lucrative it's sexy---for a lot of people this is why they get into real estate. That's why so many shows like selling sunset are so popular. The biggest barrier to entry is the lack of access to the actual people that can buy a 10+ million-dollar house. Today's guest shares a lot of nug...

Whenever December rolls around I am always obsessing with future casting of what I want to accomplish for next year and this year is no different---typically I will look back at my last 12 months and take note of what worked well for me and what things didn't go so well and then course correct. Hopefully, I can see what I need to double down on and what I need to let go. Sometimes I double down on losses----If I had bad year trading stocks I will double up my positions and dig in to not only rev...

More listings, more money, better life We are closing in on a new year and hopefully all of you are planning out your goals for next year. I dont usually get into end of year planning but, this is such a weird year that I felt like I should address this topic. One of the reasons I felt like this was important is that unlike in other years is that everything has been changing so fast. I know thats how it feels---everything is so different than it was last november. When I say things are so differ...

Today's guest is a tech entrepreneur that is trying to grow a discount brokerage marketplace---T---the reason I brought him on and grilled him about what he's doing to grow his brand is that I wanted to show regular agents that don't have a clear methodology about how to grow sales or how to market the stark differences between what they are doing and what someone with a very clear vision is doing. More importantly than the tactics being deployed is the clear reasoning and thought process that g...

In this fast moving environment none of us really know who is ready to sell or buy a house--I cant tell you how many times agents will email me with a story about how one of their close friends used another agent or how the person you see everyday at the gym used someone else. If youve been around long enough this has happened to you--the reason I think its important is that too often people assume that 1) other people know what you do and trust you to do the job and 2) everyone is one interacti...
