So I think it's all those little 1% mate that all add up, doesn't it? Education and doing what you say and just delivering on what you do I think is a big thing too." - Brad Filliponi(00:36:43) "The real estate industry has been very kind to, you know, it's great to be able to give back and I think the universe always gives back in marvelous ways.

The Best Virtual Staging Software & Tips (DIY & Pro) If you haven’t shopped for virtual staging software lately, you might be in for a bit of a shock. Many apps that used to offer Realtors an easy-to-use DIY virtual staging platform now just sell done-for-you professional virtual staging—usually with a higher price tag. While that’s great for teams and brokerages with big budgets, many agents still want to get their hands dirty and DIY their virtual staging. DIY virtual staging: You take photos or videos and then use your phone or tablet to edit them yourself. You can drop in 3D furniture or use filters to remove items, boost color and contrast, or even change the time of day. DIY virtual staging puts the power in your hands to stage the properties, but it means you need to learn the software yourself. Professional staging: You take photos or videos and then upload them to the company’s platform. You tell them what you want to be done with it, and they return it to you, usually within 24 to 48 hours. The advantage of such a service is that you don’t have to do anything; just send it in and forget about it. #1 - Apply Design From $7 to $10 DIY Service Static Images and 3D 360 Tours https://applydesign.io/ #2 - Spotless Agency $79, $99 &199 per image options Static Images Only https://www.spotlessagency.com/ #3 - roOomy – $49 per image or virtual tours from $400 to $1,700 Static Images and 3D 360 Tours https://rooomy.com/ #4 - BoxBrownie – $32 Static Images and 3D 360 Tours https://www.boxbrownie.com/ #5 - Square Foot Productions – $29 Static Images Only https://squarefootproductions.com/ #6 - Hasten - (Call for Pricing) High-end service for the luxury properties Static Images and 3D 360 Tours https://hasten.me/ #7 - Cedar Architect Subscription-based service.

I'm increasingly surprised at the speed of technology and how new, better and less expensive ideas seem to evolve so quickly. The very best ideas cater to a particular market niche and solve a problem that niche is having or produce a fresh product with obvious and instant appeal. Property technology or 'proptech' as it's called is no exception and since first meeting Peter, Brad and Mel from Box Brownie, it's been fascinating to follow their innovative ideas as they bring an ever-expanding range of options to real estate agents so their marketing looks awesome. If I had to highlight the biggest feature as I see it, it's that Box Brownie offers highly technical services that used to cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for a tiny fraction of old-world prices plus their turnaround is super fast. Make no mistake, you are instantly judged by your marketing and visual presentation. In a world where getting attention is beyond competitive, there's literally no second chance at a first impression. Why would you feature an image of an empty room when you can virtually fill it with great-looking furniture, floor coverings and wall art for less than $2? Why would you feature a room with a view where the light imbalance makes the room or the view looks under or overexposed? And why would your hero marketing shot be a street image with grey skies when you could have a blue sky or a twilight image showing warmth and color from inside lighting? Every listing is a listing opportunity and you only get once chance to get it right. Today, tens of thousands of agents around the world have BoxBrownie.com saved in their browser bookmarks to order their image makeovers together with a bunch of stunning presentation tools that make buyers and sellers sit up and take notice. If you agree that every listing is a listing opportunity and that you're judged by every marketing image you promote, can I suggest you tune in to this episode and you might just hear about an exciting new feature that will change the way you market your listings. We've got all that and more coming right up.

In this episode we chat with Brad Filliponi from BoxBrownie. Brad is a high energy entrepreneur going places fast.

Brad shared a lot of wisdom and showed how successful a business can be when it zeroes in on a specific target market and really goes the extra mile to meet all their needs. While this episode will be of interest to anyone who is a student of business and entrepreneurship in general, it will be of particular interest to those interested in real estate, SAAS, and software related businesses.

Property marketing significantly impacts the outcome of our transactions, but it’s still one of the least prioritized and polished areas of real estate.    It’s not enough to just post photos of a property, there is a critical list of features our listings need to have in order to stand out in the MLS and position us as professionals.   In this pandemic era, putting more effort into how we market our property makes us more relevant to the consumer. It’s guaranteed to make a noticeable impact on how people respond to our listings.    Which areas do we need to up our game in order to have better listings? What is the biggest property photography mistake agents make?   In this episode, I’m joined by speaker, property marketing expert, and strategic relationship manager at BoxBrownie.com, Peter Schravemade. He shares how we can make our listings stand out by making a few changes.  Good property marketing sells homes faster and for more money. The agents who have done well during this pandemic period are making it a priority. -Peter Schravemade   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode    The 5 things consumers are looking for in our listings are good imagery, copy with all essential details, a floor plan, 360 virtual tour, and good video footage. All our listings need to be consistent at every price point. When seller prospects see that consistency in our brands, they know the quality of marketing their own home will get if they hire us.   Our property marketing has to be dialed in before we even start generating leads and prospecting. Everything we put out into the market is part of an all-encompassing machine.    It’s easy to tell if a photograph is professionally taken or edited. If photos of an interior room have hazy and bright windows, it makes our photos look unprofessional.    Guest Bio:   Peter Schravemade is a trainer, speaker, and photography and property marketing expert.

Any leader in any organization has to be mindful of the example they set. What you model will be a good example or a bad example for distinct groups of people: those you lead, those you serve, those with whom you are in a close relationship, and those who observe your life from a distance. This undeniable reality is an aspect of leadership that seems to fall off the radar for many senior leaders. Position and success somehow obscure the need for humble modeling and are sometimes replaced by a sense of entitlement or superiority. Peter Schravemade is a leader who has not lost touch with the impact his example invariably has on others. Though he's ultra-busy in his role at BoxBrownie.com, he strives to keep himself grounded, for the sake of his family, those he leads, and his own sanity. Join me for this delightful conversation with a guy whose responses are often deeper than the question he's been asked. That's a good thing. Should a leader's personal life intersect with their professional life? I'm always curious about how leaders see the relationship between personal and private life. Modern business etiquette often says the two should remain entirely separate, but if you've followed me for any length of time you'll know that I couldn't disagree more. I believe that who you are personally not only informs but amplifies who you are professionally if you allow the two to intersect in helpful ways. Peter is a “what you see is what you get” sort of guy. His self-deprecating humor and humble attitude have earned the respect of those he leads and have advanced him to positions of influence and strategic growth on the BoxBrownie.com team. In this conversation, we discuss how his personal and professional life intersect and why it's important for top decision-makers to make sure the two are connected.  Does the entirety of who you are hold up under the magnifying glass of a “What you see is what you get” perspective? As a leader, what can you do to nudge yourself a few steps close to it? Modeling a servant attitude is more powerful than you may think  People naturally gravitate toward those who encourage and help them. That's why leaders should be practiced at recognizing the abilities of those on their teams, encouraging and empowering those abilities, and providing opportunities for them to develop. There's a name for this, it's called servant leadership. Peter says that the “service” part of what he does — as a leader and more broadly toward customers — is what keeps him going. He's made a good point, there. It's a huge motivation to know that both how you lead your team and how you provide services to customers is making a difference in their lives. How are you doing on this front? Do the team members you lead know that you are in their corner and working to see them excel? If you're not sure, why not ask them? You may find clear areas where you can improve your leadership that you didn't know existed. True leaders model a deep belief in their product or service It's been said that when you are convinced that the service or product you provide will benefit those who use it, you're obligated to tell them about it. Leaders can learn something from that statement. Not only do you as a senior leader have broad experience from which those you lead can benefit, but you also have a perspective of the overall organization's goals, direction, and impact on customers that can help them see the bigger picture of how your organization is making a difference in the lives of those you serve. In his role at BoxBrownie.com, Peter has seen time and time again how the work they do fast-tracks the results their customers are seeking. It's this clear benefit that he keeps in mind at all times. It motivates him each day and keeps him going as he travels across the world at a feverish pace (listen to this episode to hear an average week of insanity for Peter). His advice to those who don't feel 100% in love with what they do in their organization is golden. It's this... If you find yourself unable to get entirely behind the product or service your organization provides, you probably need to find an organization that provides something you can get behind. You are not serving yourself, those you lead, or your organization well when you're only bringing part of you to the task at hand. Don't miss this episode. Peter shares his experience as a leader and team member in an unforgettable style that provides value with every response. And if you didn't hear the first part of this two-part conversation,you can find it here.

My guest in this episode is Dave Garland, Managing Partner of Second Century Ventures and the REACH global programme, the number one PropTech accelerator in the world. And from its start as an accelerator of US based PropTechs through the National Association of Realtors, REACH has expanded over the past two years to create programmes in Australia, Canada, and soon in the UK. And given the success of Aussie PropTechs, such as ActivePipe, BoxBrownie, and RateMyAgent in the US programmes, we like to think that it was the Aussies who showed REACH that innovation was not just the purview of the US industry, and that we played a role in their expansion. Now, Dave has met literally hundreds of PropTech entrepreneurs across his career, and he has a highly honed instinct for what makes a technology successful in real estate, property management, and construction, and where the tech is going. I wanted to get him on the show for two reasons. If you're a PropTech listener, you'll get some great insights into how to be successful, and the work you'll need to do to make it. And if you're a real estate agent, or property industry listener, this is also for you. Dave has his finger on the pulse of new technology coming through the pipe. And it's interesting to know all of this is being funded by the National Association of Realtors, the world's largest industry organisation, which is effectively residential real estate. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theproptechpodcast/message

Real Estate is an industry that everyone understands on a basic level, but very few know about the highly specialized niche businesses that serve the industry. These organizations keep the real estate machine humming along smoothly for the benefit of both buyers and sellers. Some of them enhance the process to provide greater value for everyone involved. Peter Schravemade serves as Strategic Relationships Manager at BoxBrownie.com, one of those highly specialized real estate tech companies I referred to. BoxBrownie.com takes average-looking photos of properties and makes them pop — resulting in faster sales and higher sales prices (Peter cites that claim during our conversation). Peter is the type of person you can talk with all day, and we almost did. Thus, this conversation will be split into two episodes. Watch your podcast player for the next installment. Learn how the leadership at BoxBrownie.com started the company in Australia, the challenges they faced branching out to the U.S. market, and how they are handling the pains of massive growth as the company's services continue to grow in demand. You can't fix blurry When asked about the most challenging parts of what the BoxBrownie.com team does, Peter was quick to say that though they work with many stellar real estate professionals, there are some who make him scratch his head. He's had situations where agents provide blurry property photos and expect the BoxBrownie.com magic to make the image clear. Others may upload a picture of a door, half-opened, and ask the BB team to “create” the rest of the room that can't be seen. From those examples, Peter is quick to point out that it's incumbent upon the BoxBrownie.com team to educate its customers — and potential customers — about what is and isn't possible in photography and why good quality original photos will benefit the seller, the buyer, and the real estate agent in the end. When they do this well, everyone wins. Are there ways as a top decision-maker your organization could take a page from the BoxBrownie.com approach to amplify your customer's results by educating them about what you do, how you do it, and why it is done that way? The BoxBrownie.com team does so through blog content. How could you educate your customers better? How you act and react to a situation dictates the person you are. A painful turning point in Peter's life was the passing of his mother. She struggled with sickness for many years and finally succumbed to death when he was 21 years old. Her example of serving her family faithfully despite her daily suffering is an inspiration to Peter to this day. Her loss forced Peter to seriously consider who he wanted to be and what he was going to do with his life. That's when he chose to get into the real estate industry. It was during that season that a comment his mother often said to him came back to him. “How you act and react to a situation dictates the person you are.” He realized the wisdom of her words — that in every situation he has a responsibility to be the person he truly wants to be, the one who responds rightly, maturely, and with patience and wisdom toward others involved in the situation. What might happen in the lives of leaders and their teams if leaders adopted this sort of responsibility for their responses and actions? Beyond that, what could happen to the bottom line of their customers if that attitude permeated the organization resulting in customers being served better? How $1.60 sells houses faster and for more The base product BoxBrownie.com sells is a photo service that enhances property photos to make them more appealing and revealing for potential property buyers. This enables the buyer to see the property with greater clarity so they better understand the features and qualities of the property purchase they are considering. The BB team knows this is important because industry statistics say that 84% of purchasers want to see good imagery in real estate listings. But what effect does imagery have on the sales cycle? Peter provides additional statistics from the National Association of Realtors that makes the importance of great photography abundantly clear. The BoxBrownie.com photo processing service costs $1.60 per photo and can easily be accessed from a smartphone. The NAR stats say that good photos lead to properties selling 32% faster and at a price that is $9,000 to $11,000 more than properties that do not have good imagery. That's a very small investment for a huge return, yet 80% of agents do not edit or process their images at all. As a top decision-maker, I challenge you to examine your industry to find similar leverage points that you can highlight for your team. Then, equip them to take advantage of what they discover. Your organization will flourish financially, but perhaps more importantly, you'll be modeling industry savvy and insight for the team you lead. Be sure to watch your podcast player or app for part two of this great conversation.

Welcome to Box Brownie segment the real estate podcast, where we interview the leaders in real estate and technology. Today, I have the pleasure of being joined by Peter Schravemade, which you'll understand more why I've pronounced it that way. And just the second, uh, Peter as title is the janitor slashes strategic relationship manager for a company called box brownie. And I've known him now for a number of years. Um, so you're going to find that this conversation is going to be very conversational, not so much a question and answer cause, uh, we've had a few beverages late at night and I'm probably going to be mentioning, uh, things that he's talked about, which hopefully he'll be willing to share everything that there is with us, that he shared with me at 11 o'clock at night after a couple of time. Peter, Welcome to the show. Peter Schravemade (00:53): What an introduction. Uh, I, I feel humbled, uh, not, not only in my Peter I'm from Australia and I don't know, I don't know why Americans saying that, but it is my fault. Eric Stegemann (01:05): Right? Peter Peter Schravemade (01:08): Peter. Yeah. Well, you know, it started because I think I have one of those names that sounds different in different languages or different accents. Right. And, um, I could never understand why people couldn't understand me when I introduced myself as Peter, but it'd be like, can you spell it? So, uh, you know, we went down the line of Peter and now I, what you would have heard. I just, by default, when I'm in America, introduce myself as Peter, Peter on Peter from box brownie and, and then somehow stuck people find that funny and they laugh at me say, uh, yes, thank you for the introduction. I am glad to be here.  Eric Stegemann (01:48): Well, uh, so obviously he's in Australia as he mentioned, and it's about 4:00 AM there. So we definitely thank him for joining us early. Why don't you tell us a little bit about what box brownie is? Peter Schravemade (02:00): Yeah, well, it's a website is the easiest, easiest way to go with that. Now the box brownie itself was a camera. It was a lockout, a box shaped camera came out in 1,901, um, moms and dads could buy it. And the, the slogan that, uh, Kodak Eastman used way back then was you take the photo. We do the rest. And in, in some kind of weed way, we've continued on with that tradition. So we're website that you can go to, to upload photos for whatever edit you may need. Um, at the outset that's, you know, that starts with improving those rubbish photos that you've ever on his scene on the MLS, uh, where someone's taken it, you know, with a smartphone, we can enhance those and all the way through to things like things like staging. Um, but even as we mentioned, just prior to hitting record on the podcast, we do just about anything, portrait photography, Twilight conversions, we take cars out of dry and things like that.

So, um, tell us, uh, about the product and by the way, you have to go to their...

It's vital to understand that marketing a product, even in real estate, you should know your target audience. Peter challenges new agents to learn how to market a property correctly by treating it as a product and finding potential buyers that match that product!   "Even if I did something right on that day, it was all about the relationship. My willingness to have a chat with the person no matter who they are." -- Peter Schravemade [00:13]   "We know… less than 5% of listings will have a floorplan attached to it. Yet, there are consistent studies by the National Association of Realtors that talk about what purchasers want. Every year, the NAR brings out a generational homebuyer report.

Peter shares with the audience the plethora of animals that can potentially harm you but shares that it isn't as big of a deal as Americans make it out to be.   Peter Schravemade originally was not planning a career in real estate. Peter finished school and went on to study music at the Queensland University of Technology and then continued his studies at the Beijing Conservatory of Music to obtain his Master's degree. In the late '90s, Peter shares that his younger brother was responsible for getting him into the real estate world. At the time, his brother was an accountant for a property developer and had issues finding an agent who would honestly give the service to potential buyers at their open houses.   At the time, Peter Schravemade was not licensed and did not know anything about contracts. In Australia, you can sell six properties before having to get a license....

I hope you're staying home and staying safe. It's day 27 in isolation for me and I'm very fortunate. I don't have kids to organize and entertain or their meals to plan. I'm not on a health professional on the front line helping virus sufferers like a number of friends and family who are doing an amazing job saving lives. I've worked remotely from a home office, coffee shop and often my car for the last 15 years so there's no major shift in work habits and so far, and  touch wood, I don't have a sore throat or dry cough. And if I bring the virus back home to Christine who suffers severe asthma... well, I don't even want to think about that. In times like this, I believe it's important to focus on what we can influence. For a start, we have the power to influence our own thinking. We can wallow in the cancer that is self-doubt and choose to take the low road of despair, pending doom and negative, destructive thinking which, as we all know, never ends well... or we can choose to remain optimistic and hopeful and reach out to others and either ask for support or offer it. Nobody is immune and we've all reached this fork in the road at some point. The important question is when you do? When you think about it, we're all born with the same two options... we can choose to be a tower of strength or a swamp of suffering and if I've learned one thing in life, it's that you will move towards what you think about. You naturally gravitate to where your head's at. In fact, it's virtually impossible not to. For so many, success begins when we make the decision to hack into our optimism and achievement tools with things like exercise, meditation, a solid routine, focussing on the right business actions for these times and tuning our radar to actively scan for opportunities. Since this thing started I've had the chance to connect with agents in many different places. Sometimes we email, sometimes we talk on the phone or face to face it with a Zoom call. I'm honored and humbled that many real estate contacts (including quite a few I don't know) have reached out to me for help and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share any ideas, suggest solutions and workshop options at a time like this and I'd like to extend the offer here and now. If I can help, let me know. Reach out and say hello and tell me what's going on. I'm ready to welcome your message and looking forward to helping out wherever I can. I can tell you I don't have all the answers for what's happening right now but I don't believe anyone does. I do have some solid ideas and strategies I learned in the early 90s and 2008 that are working well for my private client group, This morning we woke up to a very cold cottage because the fire went out during the night and there's no other heating. I needed some kindling to get things underway but it had rained overnight and the kindling was wet. I cursed myself for being unprepared. If you've ever tried to light a fire with wet wood you'll know it's a challenge but it's the perfect metaphor for what's happening in real estate at the moment. So many agents are trying to light a fire with wet wood. The things they were doing in February are not working in April. Adaption is key. There's no doubt this global health crisis will trigger an economic downturn and probably the most severe we will see in our lives. Last week I checked in on my 87-year-old mother in law to see how she was doing. She lived through the blitz in London during the second world war and I was interested to know if she noticed any parallels. "Not really" she said. "During the blitz we honestly didn't know if that day would be our last. Bombs were falling out of the sky and killing our neighbors. With this pandemic, all we need to do is stay inside and keep ourselves busy." In my view, this event is dramatically different from the early 90s recession and the mortgage meltdown of 2008. It's different because we can't go out and support local businesses. We can't head out to our favourite bar, go for a meal, buy a fresh pair of jeans or buy a car because we're stuck at home under personal self-arrest as it's the right thing to do. The COVID 19 Pandemic means millions of businesses closed virtually overnight and with that, the monetary flow of the economy that makes the world go round. That's why this time it's very different. Many of us are lucky to live in countries that will support us with resources. But that can only last so long. However, what we do know is that it will end... and as real estate professionals, I think we're lucky.  Here are 4 reasons why: First off, we're essentially self-employed. We don't really rely on anyone for 'a job'. Our mission is to find property owners looking to sell and show them how we can make it happen. Second, We can work from anywhere we like which right now is our home office or kitchen table. We can work the hours we want and don't need to burn daylight on a lengthy commute. We're professionally autonomous and I'm tipping many agents will adopt this as their new norm from now on. Third, we have established contacts in our database who may need real estate help right now. It's knowing how to reach out and what to say that's critically important. By the way, if I see another 'I'm Here For You' or 'we're in this together' email I'll scream. Your contact's inbox is jammed with the same subject lines. Don't go there! And fourth, we have so many amazing tech tools to make it happen. We can conduct a virtual orchestra of real estate business without moving our butts from our home-office chair. This is the remote revolution so many in our industry have been hoping for. For those of us prepared and equipped, this is our time. And here's the thing: Real estate in your area will be sold in the next 3 months. Maybe not the same volume as the last three but property transactions will happen. Our challenge? Right now people can't go out. So what do folks do when they're stuck at home? In 2020 they spend more time watching Netflix, more time on social media and more time sending and answering emails. In other words, more screen time. So how can real estate professionals use this change to maintain our connections and stay actively involved and open for business? There are a 5 ways: 1. Be willing to put yourself in places where opportunity can find you, and by that I mean creatively online. We can ramp up our community involvement. Which services are open, which are not? Who's delivering and how we can go about ordering. Supply names and numbers? Who needs support in your community and what can you do? 2. There are still essential services serving your community. Who are they and how can they be contacted. Let your people know. Be a conduit of highly useful and relevant information. 3. In the last few weeks, I've done more chores around the house than I have in the last 3 years. I've painted, re-floored, replaced lights, cleaned out the garage and right now, I'm rebuilding a deck. It's funny but my 'honey do' list continues to grow. So plenty of people are using this time to keep busy and tick off tasks that need completing. Can you help your contacts with your local traders list? We just sent a new template live at Jigglar.com   All you need to do is build a list of local traders and offer to send your people a pdf. Our local hardware store won't allow people in but you can order over the phone and pick up. Same with the supermarket. If this is available in your area, let your people know. 4. Get proactive in your marketing and offer an online Virtual Market Update.  All you need to do is send your contacts an email and offer a contact-free property value opinion via a live and customized landing page. If you'd like to see a very cool online landing page sample that does just that, let me know. Details are in the shownotes for this episode.  The agents using this landing page are winning leads because they can virtually prospect without cold calling. You can take it to the streets by setting up a Facebook campaign to promote your virtual market update offer. 5. When you're ready to get your listing to market, ask your owner or tenant to take the shots. Our buddy Brad Filipponi over at BoxBrownie.com has just made a very cool video that will give you and your owner or tenant the very best instructions on how to make that happen. They've even done a pre-photo checklist and you can watch the video and download the list in the shownotes.  Just go to topagentsplaybook.com/168 I hope I've shared some ideas you can put to work ASAP in your business and please keep in mind, these ideas are out there working right now. All you need to do is get started, implement and reach out if you need support. So how long will this last? It's up to us. The Chinese model shows things are just starting to get back to normal after 12 weeks but that was with a military enforced lockdown and quarantine and god only knows what else but clear evidence shows that staying home and isolated works. When the COVID virus first started to escalate in California, the Governor ordered the state's 40 million residents to stay home. They were the first state to do so. New York, with a population of less than 20 million did not. Today, April 8 2020, the California numbers are 17000 cases and 452 deaths compared to New York's 140,000 cases and deaths over 5000. Okay there were a few other factors like California's aggressive testing and better access to personal protection equipment but come on...  8 times more deaths and cases in a state half the size. I guess one Governor is enjoying his last term. There is no vaccine just yet so I think the evidence is clear. The fastest way to work our way back to normal is to stay home and stay isolated. New Zealand shut down hard and shut down early while amazingly, my mother's nursing home south of Melbourne is still allowing visitors. Maybe they've stopped watching the news! Dream big, take names, stay safe and let me know if I can help

When it comes to real estate photography, today’s special guest can do it all. Say hello to Brad Filliponi—co-founder of Boxbrownie.com. If you haven’t already heard of Boxbrownie.com, allow me to tell you what it is they do. For starters, let’s say that you’ve got a photo of your home that, thanks to cloudy skies, looks a little drab. Boxbrownie.com has you covered. Not only can Brad capture great photos of your home, he can also take existing photos from mediocre to marvelous.

My guest in this episode is Peter Schravemade from BoxBrownie - one of Australia's strongest success stories in the residential proptech space. BoxBrownie - to quote Pete - touches up photos. They're an automated platform that makes it ridiculously easy for real estate agents to get property photos corrected - whether that's removing shadows and fixing the lighting, changing overcast days to sunny, or even adding virtual furniture and renovations. They won a coveted spot on the NAR REach program for 2019 and completely dominating the conference circuit in the US using it to successfully launch the business globally. BoxBrownie are some of the hardest workers on the conference circuit - they know everyone and they're generous with their hospitality and connections and have been great ambassadors for Aussie proptech. In fact, Peter was recently named a 2019 Real Estate Top 50 Influencer by Elite Agent Magazine. In this episode, he shares the story of how its taken a team of complementary personalities - rather than a single founder - to grow BoxBrownie. And he shares how BoxBrownie have built their business in the US.
