Trauma has the potential to cripple individuals that have experienced adversity, poverty and exclusion. There isn't an area where this is more clear than in global orphan care and there isn't a better person to walk us through what building resilience looks like than our guest today. Dr. Nicole Wilke is the Director at the CAFO Research Center where she leads a team focused on making research applicable to everyday practitioners in global child welfare. On the show, Nicole talks with Brandon Stiver and Phil Darke about what she's learned both from living in Peru as well as through the research that she has conducted in promoting better practice for orphaned and vulnerable children.

Today I'm talking to Amanda Howard, The Amanda Howard of Amanda Howard Sotheby's International Realty of Huntsville Alabama. Not only is it not supposed to be impossible to get your name on a Sotheby's International Realty Affiliate Office, it's not supposed to be possible to be the top agent year one in any market. It's especially not supposed to be possible in Huntsville Alabama, and it's especially not supposed to be possible when you enter Huntsville knowing no one.  It's absolutely not supposed to be possible coming in as a single mom of toddlers. But, If you tell Amanda Howard something isn't possible she literally doesn't hear it and if she does she doesn't comprehend it as anything but one more challenge to show up and make it happen. Today Amanda and I talk about Breaking Barriers in Real Estate and Making the Impossible Possible.⚡️Powered by BreakthroughLuxury Coaching & Membership https://BreakthroughLuxury.com

The terms neurodivergent, neurotypical or neurodiverse might be new to you. But we've been working with a neurodiverse group our entire careers. Introverts, extroverts, thinkers, feelers, etc. We hear talk of "the spectrum" often, but are these problems to be fixed, or might these folks have valuable insights that us “normies” would have never considered?

As the story goes . . . Nestled in a small clearing close to the woods and the Leon River, about seven miles northeast of the small settlement of Hamilton in Central Texas was a rustic one-room school house. The Leon River School was a simple square of loosely stacked logs with large spaces left between the logs to allow for ventilation. School was taught in the summer when the children had more free time from tasks on their family homesteads. It was afternoon that day in July of 1867, and a small group of students had settled in for their lessons. Their teacher, Miss Ann Whitney, a heavy-set 32 year-old who had left Massachusetts and travelled to Texas to teach, was instructing the children when a young student, Amanda Powers, yelled that horsemen were approaching the school. At first, teacher Ann Whitney was unconcerned as she had been told a parent and his cowhands would be visiting the school that day to see his daughter who was boarding with another family in order to attend the classes. But Amanda Powers continued to watch the approaching riders between cracks in the logs and was soon convinced the riders were Indians, She pushed her little brother out the schools only window and quickly followed him. Both ran for the bushes along the river and hid. Amanda's departure and the sound of pounding horse hooves told the story—a Comanche attack! Barring the door and gathering the children, Ann Whitney began pushing her students out the small window on the north side of the cabin with instructions to hide in the brush along the river. At the last minute, loose floorboards were pulled up and two students, Louis Manning and John Kuykendall took cover under the school. With blood-curdling cries, the war party began firing arrows into the school, wounding Ann Whitney more than a dozen times. A third student still in the building, Jane Kuykendall, was wounded, but survived because the Indians apparently assumed she was dead. Wounded and dying, Ann Whitney spread her skirts over the floor boards where Tom and Louis were hiding. The Comanche broke the door down, found the two boys cowering under the floor, and dragged them up. Among the dozen or so Comanche raiders was a red-headed white man who asked the two boys if they wanted to join the Indians. Young John Kuykendall said yes, and was taken. Louis Manning said no. He later said he thought he was about to be killed when the leader of the raiders called for the rest to leave. As they were leaving, the red haired Indian saw Olivia Barbee, captured her, pulling her onto his saddle. When he was distracted, she jumped down and escaped into the thick underbrush. By chance, two women out for a ride saw the commotion as the attack began. Seventeen year old Amanda Howard and her sister-in-law Sarah Howard realized they needed to warn others that the Comanche were raiding. They reversed their horses and raced toward the Baggett's cabin about a half a mile away. A few of the Comanche hurried to stop them. In the rush, Sarah was thrown from her horse while jumping an eight rail fence. An Indian captured her horse, but but Sarah was uninjured and able to make it to the Baggett home. Amanda charged ahead of the pursuing Indians, managed to outrun them on the young, spirited colt she was riding, and was able to spread the alarm to other neighboring cabins and alert the citizens of Hamilton. While one group of Comanche had attacked the school, a second group found the Stanaland family traveling nearby. Mr. and Mrs. Stanaland and their two children were killed. Armed men from Hamilton gathered and pursued the marauders. John Kuykendall, who was taken in the raid, was traded back about six months later. His wounded sister Jane recovered from her wound. All of Ann Whitney's students had survived the attack! Teacher Ann Whitney who had died trying to save her students was heralded as a hero...

Today my guest is Amanda Howard, who is an Associate Professor at The University of Sydney’s School of Education and Social Work. Amanda’s teaching and research relates to social work: that is, the social connections and dynamics found when groups of people – communities - come together and do things. We chat about the importance of social work in understanding how human systems and structures work as well as the ideas around inclusion, exclusion and how power with a group is distributed. Amanda outlines a key aspect of her research: assets-based community development, specifically in response to floods, bush fires and other Australian natural disasters. These ideas find a deeper significance when used to make tangible changes in the world, for example in the revision and development of policies and procedures that impact communities.

Growing a real estate team has a lot of difficult moments, and it’s something many agents aren’t prepared for. How do we avoid resenting our team when we face the inevitable difficult times? How do we make sure leading a team is actually what we want for ourselves? Why is it so important to treat real estate like a business and not a job? On this episode, Amanda Howard shares the growing pains of growing her business to 30 agents and $181 million in volume.   If you are that servant and know that you’re the best option, you’re going to win. -Amanda Howard   3 Things We Learned From This Episode   How to avoid resenting the team you love (10:53 - 12:00) As leaders, we are responsible for teaching, coaching, and supporting our team. If we take on too much and it feels like we’re not giving enough, we’ll stop feeling appreciated and start resenting our teams. It’s important to stay balanced and disciplined with your time and commitments.   Why you have to treat real estate like a business (14:57 - 15:22) Real estate is unlike other businesses where people go to school for years to learn about it. Supplement your training with books, courses and coaches for real estate. Wrap your mind around the business concept. Set yourself up with hours, a structure, goals and a plan for the future.   How to handle conflict within the team (12:20 - 13:07 ) Amanda runs sales while her husband runs operations. If there’s a disagreement, and they are both passionate about it, they give their coach 2% of the decision, and he can help to direct either one of them in that situation. Anyone who is driven probably has a strong personality, and sometimes a third party can be helpful in resolving disagreement.   No matter what stage of our real estate journey we’re in, it’s important for us to run our jobs like a business. Early on, there can be a tendency to work from a place of scarcity and hustle so hard we end up burning out. It’s great to feel responsible for our people, but that responsibility shouldn’t become unhealthy. We have to be servant leaders who have the right structures in place to maintain balance in our lives.   Guest Bio- Amanda is the leader of Amanda Howard Sotheby's International Realty,  the #1 Real Estate team in Alabama.

Some crimes are so shocking that they change a nation forever. In revealing the lives and crimes of Australia's worst murderers, rapists and kidnappers in all their horror, Innocence Lost answers the question we ask when we hear about lives taken so ruthlessly: WHY?

For most teams, the path to growth is bringing on more agents. Yet, this risks possible negative impacts on your team culture. How can we still grow without expanding the team? How can we increase the productivity of the agents we already have? If we choose to take on independent agents, how can we bring value to them? On this episode, Amanda Howard shares how she is implementing the plan to increase production while still keeping her team the same.   "A driven person who wants to succeed in life needs mentors they can count on." -Amanda Howard Takeaways + Tactics When we remove ourselves from production, we have to take that time and put it into our agents. When we go into a new market, there’s going to be difference between what we think they are going to value and what they actually value. How people react to the word “accountability” indicates whether they will actually perform and work hard, or for fail to meet their goals and make excuses when that happens. At the start of the show, Amanda shared how her business is set up and the main pillars of lead generation her team leans on. Next, we discussed how they manage having an abundance of leads, and why she chose to take on indie agents instead of adding more agents to her actual team. We also talked about bringing value to the indie agents, and towards the end Amanda shared on the resources she uses to improve herself so she can pour into her own people. We also discussed: How Amanda sets up her day to help her agents Amanda’s rebranding plan How to tell if accountability is going to be an issue for someone When we want to increase our numbers without adding people to our team, coaching and accountability become more crucial to the organization. As leaders, that means we need to be willing and able to pour more into our people so they can improve the results they are getting. Your day and your habits have to be set up for you to meet that goal and really help your people.

Housing inventory is low across the nation. However, some sellers are missing out on the perfect chance to move up into higher price points.I’m coming to you from New York City, where I shot my new commercial with Barbara Corcoran. I got to chat with some of the top agents in the country, and I’m hearing the same thing over and over: there is a lack of inventory in the market.Even here in Kentucky, inventory is low. Remember, housing inventory is measured by the absorption rate. An absorption rate between five and six months is considered a balanced market, while anything over six months is a buyer’s market and anything under five months is a seller’s market. There are seller’s markets popping up all across the country. Just listen to what these top agents had to say: Amanda Howard from Huntsville, Alabama says her market only has 3.5 months of inventory, while Nick Shivers from Portland says that there are only 1.3 months of inventory available across the board. In fact, some neighborhoods in Portland don’t have any inventory at all. John Modine from Dayton, Ohio, says that while the inner city market is still full of foreclosures, homebuyers in the suburbs are fighting through multiple offers and running out of houses to look at.Curtis Johnson from Phoenix says that some areas have almost no inventory, while others still have some. Marti Hampton from North Carolina says that she has definitely seen low inventory up to certain price points in certain areas. Some neighborhoods start to balance out once they are over $400,000, while others have more inventory in the $600,0000 price range. Now is the perfect time to be a move-up buyer.So, why aren’t there enough homes in the $100,000 to $400,000 market? There are a variety of reasons. According to Mark Spain from Atlanta, we went through a period where there was not a lot of new housing stock created because construction costs went up much faster than appreciation. Tiffany Lachnidt from Colorado Springs believes some of the problem is due to a lack of economic confidence. If you are a homeowner in the $100,000 to $400,000 price range, then you really need to listen to Marti Hampton. Marti says that people are simply staying in their homes too long. Right now, sellers in this price range have a great opportunity to sell for top dollar and get a great deal on a home in the $550,000 to $600,000 range.In other words, you have the chance to sell in a seller’s market and buy in a buyer’s market.Now, you can check out the video for a few behind-the-scenes shots of my commercial with Barbara Corcoran.
