The MindShare Podcast

There's a growing wave of Canadians looking south, frustrated with taxes, weather, and a country they no longer recognize. But making the move to Florida isn't as simple as it seems. In this episode, real estate investor, developer, and entrepreneur Steven Zalunardo joins David to share exactly what it takes to relocate from Canada to Florida and actually build a new life - and a new business - across the border.From legal hurdles to financial surprises to lifestyle shifts, this is a must-listen if you've ever considered making the move.[4:14] Quick Background:“For those who don't know you yet – give us the quick version: how long you've been in the real estate business, and what kind of market were you working in back here in Ontario before the move?”[9:23] Origin Story + Motivation:“What led to the decision to leave Canada and move to Florida?”“Was it more of a business opportunity or a lifestyle decision?”“Was there a specific ‘breaking point' that made you say, ‘We're done here'?”[15:53] The Reality of Moving to the U.S.:“What are the first steps someone needs to take legally, financially, and logistically to move to Florida?”“What did you get wrong or underestimate?”“What were the biggest surprises adjusting to U.S. systems – real estate, taxes, schooling, healthcare?”“What sacrifices or trade-offs did you and your family have to accept?”[29:13] Life & Business in Florida vs. Ontario:“What does daily life in Florida look like now versus Canada?”“What Florida communities would you recommend to relocating Canadians?”“Where are the safest places from a weather/hurricane standpoint?”[37:16] For Canadians Considering the Move:“What's your message to someone who says, ‘I'd move tomorrow if I could'?”“What are some common misconceptions Canadians have about living in the U.S.?”“What makes Florida better for children?”“What must people have in place before seriously considering the move?”“How easy is it to get a visa?”“What kind of mindset is required to succeed in a move like this?”[50:42] Final Wisdom & Takeaways:“What's one thing you wish you knew before moving?”“Do you ever regret leaving Canada?”“What's next for you in life and business?”“What advice would you give to someone feeling stuck and wondering if there's a better life elsewhere?”“What would you say to anyone who says ‘I can't'?”“How do you define a successful day?”“Any final words of wisdom, and where can people find you?”If this conversation gave you clarity, motivation, or sparked your curiosity about life in Florida - share the episode, leave a 5-star review, and download your FREE Ultimate Marketing Bundle at mindshare101.com.Learn more about our coaching, group training, and how to bring Momentum Training to your office.Connect on Instagram @DavidGreenspan101 and reach out to explore how we can work together.

We're halfway through May, and let's be real - this spring market isn't what most realtors hoped for.Deals are dragging. Offers are few. Listings are sitting. Buyers want to move but are hesitant. Sellers want premium pricing, but the market won't support it. And agents? They're feeling stuck - and their income is showing it.So in this episode, we're not ranting - we're resetting.I'll show you how to generate momentum even when the market's slow, how to lead when your clients are frozen, and how the best agents are still getting deals done when nothing seems to be moving.Plus, I share some personal reflections from the recent TRREB Realtor Quest Conference - including a real talk breakdown of what worked, what didn't, and what it all says about the state of the industry.If you're feeling stuck, this one's for you.

Last week, I called out what a lot of people don't want to hear - this spring market isn't saving anyone. It's exposing the lazy ones. The ones without systems, without structure, and without a real plan.But this week, I'm taking it one step further… because being “not lazy” isn't enough.Being busy isn't the badge of honour people think it is.I see too many agents running themselves into the ground, mistaking motion for momentum.Packed schedules. Empty pipelines. Burnout. No deals.In this solo episode, I'm breaking down exactly how the top-performing real estate agents are operating in 2025 - what they're doing differently, how they're structuring their days, and what you need to fix if you want to close more, earn more, and build a real business in this market.If you're tired of being busy but broke, this one's for you.

Some markets are heating up. Others are dead quiet. Rates are holding, inventory is tight, and after a federal election that brought zero change - frustration is at an all-time high.Buyers are hesitating. Sellers are stuck in the past. And too many agents?They're just sitting back, waiting for the spring market to “do the work.”But here's the truth: spring isn't saving anyone - it's exposing the agents who aren't doing enough.In this solo episode, I'm diving into the harsh reality of the current Canadian housing market, the mindset mistakes holding people back, and the real reason some agents are closing deals while others are spinning their wheels.We'll talk about what's not working, what is, and how to shift your strategy so you stop blaming the market - and start building momentum.And yes, I'm also opening up about something big: I've been thinking seriously about shutting this podcast down or possibly reducing the frequency. I'm asking for your input. If this show has meant something to you - let me know.

Struggling to get noticed in today's noisy real estate market? You're not alone - but the right content strategy can change everything.In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, I'm joined by Jordana Springgay, Editor of Real Estate Magazine (REM), to break down how agents can create powerful content, amplify their message, and turn visibility into real business growth.With over a decade of experience as a journalist for Canada's top newsrooms in Toronto and Ottawa, Jordana brings a sharp lens to the real estate industry. Now leading REM, she's on a mission to deliver the stories that matter to agents and brokers - and in this conversation, she shares exactly what makes content credible, influential, and actionable.If you've been wondering how to build authority, grow your personal brand, and stand out from the crowd - this episode is for you.

We start off with  a quick review about the past few shows, the messages, and who our guests were. We've truly been very fortunate to have such a powerful line up join us each week to share insights, teach, and inspire us all to grow to our next levels. Then we cover off 4 strategic areas of conversation along with action steps we can all walk away and implement immediately.Reflecting on the Year That Was:Think about the year so far. What moments stand out? What were your big wins—and what lessons did you learn along the way?Action Steps: - Take 15 minutes today to reflect on your wins and challenges. - Write down at least three wins and three lessons. - How did those lessons change the way you think or work? - What will you do differently next year because of them? - Be sure to include any moments of rejection in your list. How did you react to it? What can you learn from those moments of ‘no'? The Mindset You Need Moving Forward:This is where things can truly change. You can have all the tools, all the strategies in the world - but if you don't have the right mindset, it's all for nothing. Action Steps:- Take a moment and think about where your mindset is right now. - Are you being proactive, or are you waiting for things to happen? - Write down the biggest mental barrier that's holding you back. - What's one way you can challenge it in the coming week?Don't shy away from the hard work that's ahead. Embrace it. It's the grind that leads to greatness!Setting Your Goals for the New Year:We've all set goals that sound good in theory, but they don't actually move the needle. Action Steps:- Set three specific, measurable, achievable goals for the upcoming year. - Make sure they're aligned with your bigger vision and break them down into actionable steps. - What will you do this week, this month, this quarter to get closer to them? Remember, as you tackle these goals, the hard work never stops. Consistency is the key to unlocking success.The Power of Consistency and Execution:This is where so many people fall short. It's easy to start strong, but what sets successful people apart is the ability to keep going, even when motivation wanes. Motivation is a great spark, but it's consistency that fuels the fire.Action Steps: - What's one small habit you can commit to every day for the next 30 days that will bring you closer to your goals? - Make it so small that there's no excuse not to do it. And I want you to track your progress every day. So there you have it. The key to success next year isn't waiting for the perfect moment - it's about starting right now. Reflect on your wins, set clear goals, develop the mindset that will carry you through, and stay consistent.  If you commit to these actions, 2025 is going to be your best year yet.Get your FREE gift on my homepage at www.mindshare101.com just for tuning in!I'd also be really grateful if you could take a quick second to go www.ratethispodcast.com/mindshare101 to rate the show for me.And we haven't connected yet, send me a message!Facebook: facebook.com/mindshare101 Instagram: instagram.com/davidgreenspan101Youtube: youtube.com/@DavidGreenspanLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/mindshare101

Born and bred into the real estate industry at a young age, he spent countless hours as a child listening to the way his father conducted his business practices in real estate.Selling real estate is a passion of his. But says his real passion are the people. His approach to selling a house is more like helping people build a strong foundation where their roots will eventually run deep, in a community that they are passionate about. In a real industry that has evolved with the times, it's as though the mantra, “bigger is better,” seems to be today's trend, but he still believes in delivering a high-level of customer one-on-one service that is geared towards his clients' everyday lives. Personal service to each and every client is done through a small team of professionals. They are not about rankings and numbers, instead they're about getting the job done. Doing so in a way that getting to know their clients on a personal level will help to make their buying or selling experience a memorable one. He believes that the dream and realization of owning a home is about more than just bricks and mortar. Joining me on this episode of The MindShare Podcast  to talk about ' Building a Mega Team, Mastering Consistency, and the Real Magic to More Business ' is – Special Guest - Broker: Matthew Regan.5:18 *Matthew, you were literally born and raised in real estate.
