The board was 35 feet long and 7 feet wide and could fit 145 cheese varieties, totaling nearly 4,500 pounds. A huge, 2,000-pound cheddar wheel was the board’s centerpiece. Wisconsin’s cheeseboard topped the previous European record holder by over 1,000 pounds. After the event, nothing was wasted, as some of the cheese was donated to a Madison-area foodbank.

The Madison Mallards Neil is always looking for new ways to challenge his co-host, Caleb Jahr. This week, Caleb stepped up to the plate to take on the Madison Mallards baseball team! Coach Donnie said if Caleb got ahold of a pitch, he would buy him a steak dinner...After merciless heckling and no small amount of doubt, Caleb hit an 85 mph fast pitch! It was a foul ball, but it still counts, and Caleb had himself a steak dinner on coach Donnie! Thanks to the whole Mallards team and staff, you guys are amazing! Art fair on the square and the La Fête de Marquette When summer hits, the residents of Madison take full advantage of the chance to get out and explore music, art, and great food around the city! The Art Fair On The Square is one such inspiring event! With its mix of music, entertainment, and outdoor dining, as well as nearly 500 artists exhibiting paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, jewelry, handmade clothing and accessories, and fine craft, the fair draws nearly 200,000 visitors to Madison's Capitol Square. A few years back, Neil stumbled onto the La Fête de Marquette (The Marquette Festival), a chill little music festival that takes place at Madison’s Central Park. La Fête de Marquette is four days of fabulous world-class music, unparalleled local cuisine, cute boutiques, cold craft beer, and wine for all tastes at Madison’s Central Park.

Welcome to another great episode of the I Love Madison show! Neil Mathweg and Caleb Jahr are back in the studio to bring you the best that Madison has to offer! If you live in Madison, you will recognize all the great events that are mentioned, like Concerts on the Square, the Madison Crossfit Games, Art Fair On the Square and many more!

Neil Mathweg and Caleb Jahr were on site (with their tiny little cameras) to capture this exciting news, which you can see on the I Love Madison Vlog! Last year, the Crossfit Games brought $12 Million in revenue to the greater Madison area, so the fact that they are extending their stay means even more awesomeness in the Madison area! It also means Caleb will be running around the city doing pushups, in an effort to get jacked! Stay tuned, more video updates to follow... Where can you find Madison’s best fish fry? For this segment of the Madison Food Tournament, the team is on the search for the best fish fry in the city! Everyone knows where to get their favorite cheese curds (after all, that’s a Madison staple), but Neil and Caleb pointed out that they don’t even know how many places around the city serve fish fry, so it’s hard to know where to start! If you are a fish fry fanatic, they are taking recommendations for this round of the Madison Food Tournament! You can share on all their social channels, they would be glad to hear from you! Concerts on the square Madison has an amazing fine arts community to explore and enjoy, including Concerts on the Square, a highly popular free summer series Concerts on the Square in Madison’s Capitol Square that reaches more than 245,000 people across Dane, Columbia, Jefferson, Waukesha, and Sauk counties. Each month there are new artists to enjoy! Check out the link in the resources section for more information! Game of Magnets & Art Fair on The Square If you have not started playing the Madison Game of magnets, you are about to miss out on a sweet swag bag filled with all sorts of cool stuff! You can stop by Metcalfe’s Market and ask for an I Love Madison magnet to get you started. Once you have that magnet, check out the ILM social facebook page to register it!

Madison always has an event going on, but it can be hard to know where to go or what events you should choose! Not to worry, the hosts of the I Love Madison Show will be your guides to all of the fun, funny and delicious things to things to find in Madison. On this episode, the hosts Neil Mathweg and Caleb Jahr highlight a few of the events in Madison for you to enjoy, like the Madison Food Tournament, The Game of Magnets, and the 2018 USA National Yoga Championship! What’s happening around Madison? There is always something to do around Madison, especially in the summer! From the farmer’s market to the Crossfit games, there is something for everyone. The MIL hosts will be out and about all summer to explore local events (and probably find new challenges for Caleb). Make sure to check out Concerts on the Square, as well as the Flavors of Wisconsin. The Game of Magnets is also in full swing, and Caleb Jahr may be milking a cow in the very near future! We need suggestions for the next food tournament So far, the residents of Madison have voted on the best burgers in town, as well as the best cheese curds. For the third installment of the Madison Food Tournament, we need your suggestions for what food to vote on next! There is a poll on our Facebook page with a few suggestions, so please head over there and vote, then get out and help us determine the next champion of delicious eats! Check out the Yoga National Championships, happening right here in Madison! The Greater Madison Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) is dedicated to creating economic impact through tourism. The effects of our "invisible industry" benefit everyone living in Dane County in key areas including jobs, community services and quality of life. This year, the GMCVB is hosting the USA 2018 National Yoga Championships right here! Come celebrate yoga in beautiful Madison, WI with athletes from around the United States, yoga classes, yoga demonstrations, and a wide array of merchandise! LinkedIn Local I was recently asked to be on a panel for a LinkedIn Local event, which is hilarious because just over a year ago, I declared that LinkedIn was not a social platform. This event was an amazing opportunity to connect to other business professionals from Madison! The fact that we were all present made it easier to follow other people’s profiles and connect!

If you haven’t listened to the I Love Madison Show lately, you haven’t listened to the I Love Madison Show! Episode 28 may go down as the historic episode “where it all started…” Caleb Jahr joins the show as a regular host, alongside Neil Mathweg, and the show has a whole new format for you to enjoy! Laugh along as Caleb recounts his experience of taking on a bunch of professional hockey players at the Capitol Ice Arena in the Caleb vs. Madison segment, find out where you can get your magnet for the Game of Magnets show, weigh in on whether Madison residents should learn to embrace winter (yeah, we said it), and hear from Kate Dale from the Madison Sports Commission to learn more about Bucky on Parade! This episode is packed, so grab some cheese curds, or ice cream...or whatever dairy product you prefer (Sassy Cow), and enjoy the I Love Madison Show! The Game of Magnets The Metcalf market is sponsoring a swag bag for the first Game of Magnets giveaway! If you are not already playing, you should be! There are tons of Madison residents who have already joined and are on the search for more magnets around the city! After you receive your magnet, you can register it on social media, then keep an eye out for other magnets around the city. If your magnet or a magnet you have registered gets selected, you win some great prizes to local places around the city! Caleb Vs. Madison If you know Caleb Jahr, you know he is a tenacious guy, even when he is attempting to block shots from a bunch of professional hockey players. This week, he donned some goalie gear (it was waaayy too big for him) at the Capitol Ice Arena and did his level best to defend the goal. In the future, Caleb will be volunteering for other “Caleb vs. Madison” challenges, so if you have ideas, please submit them! Neil is thinking he needs to milk a cow...if you have a cow (a literal cow, not just a melt-down), and are willing to volunteer said cow, reach out! Trailing spouses...and everyone else in Madison should embrace winter This week, Neil spoke at an event called Disrupt Madison about trailing spouses in Madison. He recaps some of that talk on this episode, in case you missed it! One idea that came up was the fact that everyone connects in the summertime, but in the winter, everyone becomes a hermit (understandably). It was suggested to Neil that Madison residents should embrace winter, and find ways to connect and build community, despite the cold. If you are outdoorsy, you might consider exploring some of the winter activities, like snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, etc. If staying indoors is more your speed, consider hosting friends for game nights, cozy fires and a beverage of your choice! What ideas do you have for winter activities in Madison? The hosts would love to hear them! Bucky On Parade Kate Dale works with the Madison Area Sports Commission, an organization that supports local sports through grants to local youth programs and services. They are responsible for some of the most successful events in the Midwest - USA Cycling National Championships, Ironman Wisconsin, and WIAA High School State Championships, just to name a few. They are also behind the Bucky On Parade, a free public art event featuring 85 life-size Bucky Badger statues throughout Madison and Dane County. Local and regional artists have transformed these Bucky statues into unique works of art, which will later be auctioned off to support Garding Against Cancer, Madison Area Sports Commission and other community charities. Bucky on Parade provides many opportunities for the community to get involved and be a part of the fun, including a Kid’s Activity Book, Finale Party, Talks and Tours and more!

What do you do to stay in touch with your past clients and SOI (sphere of influence)? This is called being “Top of Mind.” This is what most business owners want. They want to be Top of Mind with people that need their services either right now or in the future. If you have been around the OJ for awhile, this concept might sound familiar...and you would be right! Today, I am re-squeezing episode #18, to both update some of the concepts I talked about, and show how, more than ever, being top of mind is super important for any real estate agent. Searchable vs. social content In recent episodes, I have talked a lot about social vs. searchable content. As it turns out, I was dancing around this concept back in January of 2016 (episode 18), I just didn't define it as clearly then. If you are posting every video to the same places (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube), you will notice a discrepancy across channels when you look at the view statistics. Market reports don't belong on Facebook, people will get bored and leave. There are people who are searching for tips and advice from agents, and they are using keywords to do it, so start categorizing your YouTube channel to make it easier for them to find you! For more on this concept, check out past episodes where I interview Karin Carr (OJ 131) and TJ Kelly (OJ 132) on this subject! You need all three pillars: Your sphere of influence, chase AND attract Back in 2016, I touched on the idea that you should be attracting people to your business through social media. While this has not changed, I know for a fact that if you only focus on the attraction pillar and neglect the sphere of influence or the chase, you will starve. Depending on the avenue you are using to attract business, it may take longer before you start to see results. Radio advertisers, for example, say it takes 12-18 months before clients start responding to your ads. For me personally, I use the I Love Madison Show as my attract pillar. As of right now, that show is not paying the bills. My open houses, newsletter, and grinding are paying the bills, but people are starting to recognize my team and I around Madison. I am confident that will eventually turn into a stream of business. For now, Caleb Jahr and I will keep highlighting amazing places around the city, we will keep Vlogging and keep connecting people. Attention and trust Two years ago, I said “You'll get their attention not only by what you share (posts, images, podcasts, etc.) but also through HOW YOU ENGAGE with them. When you come across as a real person, then you're going to be much more successful at getting people to feel that they know, like, and trust you.” I think that content is still fresh! You get do lots of things to get people's attention...you can light yourself on fire and stand in the middle of the street, and that will garnish you some attention, but people will not trust you...the best way to gain trust is to be authentic in every interaction you have with a client, whether its in-person or online. Authenticity builds trust. When a client is considering a house, it is one of the biggest and most important decisions they will ever make, and they will not work with someone they don't trust. Work within your vision One of the main reasons I launched the I Love Madison show was to help trailing spouses get connected here in Madison. Last night, I had the chance to speak at an event called Disrupt Madison where I talked about the trailing spouse. Afterward, several people came up to me to say “I had no idea I was the trailing spouse, thank you for that presentation.” Why do I share this? Not to toot my own horn, but to talk about the importance of operating INSIDE of a vision, supported by your “WHY.” As a real estate agent, you will communicate all sorts of things to your clients, but all of that communication should flow from a crystal-clear vision of what you are trying to accomplish. When you are consistent with that vision, people will start to notice. Outline of this great episode [1:00] Today, we are re-squeezing episode 18!

Whether you're a new real estate agent or a pro who's been in the game for years, it's not uncommon to feel uncertain about how to structure your business, grow your lead database, build relationships, and, ultimately, maximize profits. One common solution to help with these concerns is to hire an experienced, reputable real estate coach - in other words, someone who has dealt with everything you're going through today and can guide your career in the right direction. This is exactly what I do with Roundbox, the Real Estate coaching program I created to help launch new agents and revitalize agents who have been in the game for awhile but seemed to have lost momentum. The 3-Pillar Approach A freshly-licensed agent doesn't have past numbers to look back on or to analyze what worked and what didn't. They're trying to increase production and set up their business, but don't yet have a working business plan in place, or an idea of what their strengths and weaknesses are. As a real estate coach, I help new agents define and reach goals using a three-pillar approach. These pillars are 1. Your Sphere of Influence, 2. Chase Business and 3. Attract Business. The goal of these three pillars is to help you create a well-rounded plan that sets you up for strong growth and success! Your sphere of influence Building your sphere of influence as a real estate agent is one of the most important things you can do. If done well, you can expect to see new business from about 10% of your sphere. There are several ways you can accomplish this. Personally, I use newsletters. Not the digital ones that people delete...I'm talking about sending the real paper to my list. Since few people are still doing this, there is not a lot of noise in this space and people are more likely to share an interesting newsletter than forward an email. The trick to developing your sphere of influence is to be consistent. Roundbox is designed to help you figure out what works best for your business, then help you develop a plan to help you influence your sphere. How to chase business without the burnout The second pillar is chasing business. This is often the only pillar that agents focus on. After chasing business for a while, many agents get tired or burnt out and lose the motivation to continue. I believe there is a way to chase business that can be productive and profitable without the burnout. It's possible, but it takes focus and tenacity to avoid all of the “shiny things” that can distract you. My team is focused on using newsletters and open-houses to increase business. There are hundreds of ways the chase can be accomplished, but what is right for you? Listen to this onion juice episode to hear more on how you can start the chase! Beyond the chase: what you need to know about attracting business If you have listened to the Onion Juice before, you know that I often talk about being “media companies that happen to sell real estate.” This is how I attract business instead of always chasing it. In some of the recent episodes, I talk about a few ways that agents can attract business. My friend Caleb Jahr uses a vlog, I have used Facebook Live and Instagram, as well the recently launched I Love Madison Show, a podcast that highlights the city of Madison, Wisconsin. These are the things that work for me and my company. If you want to know more about how you can attract business as a real estate agent, I would encourage you to schedule a 15-min phone call with me, I would love to share ideas and hear your creativity!

On this episode, I talk to my friend and coworker Caleb Jahr about vlogging. Yes, I said vlogging. If you are unfamiliar, vlogging is a video blog. Caleb is one of those real estate agents who understands that being a media company that happens to sell real estate is a great way to build trust, be vulnerable and real and help people get to know you. Caleb talks about how he turned a discouraging piece of advice into a successful brand, and how vlogging can add value to your real estate business. The challenging way is probably the right way Sometimes the traditional approach is the right approach. In Caleb's case, that is just the opposite. Soon after starting out as a real estate agent, Caleb approached a mentor to ask about how to sell real estate. His mentor, while well intended, offered that his vlog seemed scattered and made him vulnerable, and he was not sure how it was helping Caleb. This of course would be discouraging, so Caleb stopped vlogging...and the world waited in anticipation for him to publish more content. When he finally started publishing again, he got tons of positive feedback. I should know, I'm addicted to watching his stuff. Caleb's vlog, which he publishes to a few times a week, documents what he is working on in a day, or life events, such as the birth of his new baby. You are one piece of content away from breakthrough Caleb's videos have not gone viral yet, but that does not discourage him. The reality is, if you are publishing content to youtube or facebook or Instagram, you may be one piece of content away from a breakthrough! You never know what video or picture or caption may speak to someone, who then shares it or likes it and launches your real estate business to new heights. The long game is 18 months If you are thinking about starting a vlog to help you sell real estate, keep in mind the long game. On average, it takes 18 months of consistent content before your brand may gain momentum. Don't get discouraged if you publish a video and only a few people like it initially. At some point, people will look back and see that you have a long history of pushing relevant content, and that will help you build even more credibility! So you want to start vlogging? So, you want to start a vlog? Caleb Jahr is someone you should pay attention to in this space. He has even published a video that details the process of how to start a vlog! His advice to agents just starting out is to not overthink it. Nobody is automatically comfortable on camera, content does not have to be polished and perfect, people (usually) don't yell at you for having a camera on all the time. He also said that when he first started, he did not publish consistently, and that may have hurt him a little. He recommends figuring out a schedule, then creating a theme or an overall story that you want to tell. In the post-editing, add some upbeat music and keep the video short. Check out his “how-to” video below! Outline of this great episode [1:15] Neil on how vlogging can help real estate agents [10:00] Neil introduces Caleb Jahr live in the studio!

It takes a tremendous amount of courage to be true to yourself, to listen to your heart and follow your vision. This onion juice episode is inspired by a conversation I had with a good friend of mine, Caleb Jahr. Caleb is a talented young man and a fellow realtor at Realty Executives here in Madison. Caleb understands the power of being a media company that happens to sell real estate, but like many of us got sidetracked on his vision after some discouraging advice was offered. I had a feeling Caleb may not be alone, some of you may have also experienced this, so episode 115 is focused on courage, specifically the courage it takes to follow your vision. The courage to be true to yourself If you are a media company who happens to sell real estate, there's a good chance not everyone will understand your approach. In the real estate business, there are many agents who follow a very traditional approach. Be professional, network a lot, polish everything...this is how you generate business. While this approach works for many realtors, the opposite is also true. People relate better to imperfect people, or videos that are unpolished. I have received the most views on my videos that are spontaneous or something unexpected happens. The key to being successful here is understanding that not everyone will understand why you present content this way, but it is important to retain your own voice and style. If you want to ruin a man's vision, give him two Caleb Jahr is not a man who lacks vision. Through his daily Vlog, he has not only built a following around Madison but has earned the trust and the business of several individuals. He is authentic and real and fun to listen to. When a mentor tried to encourage him by telling him that the Vlog would ultimately hurt his reputation because it was “unprofessional,” Caleb adopted a different vision, ruining the first one. For a while, he stopped Vlogging and started using a traditional approach. Andrew Wommack, a teaching pastor I listen to often said: “if you want to ruin a man's vision, give him two.” Caleb had two ideas of how he should build a client list and generate business, both very much in conflict with each other. The mentor was not intentionally trying to undermine him, he just didn't understand Caleb's vision. Enjoy the climb I know that many of you juicers enjoy the process as much as the end results. It's so important that you are having fun while you are attracting business. I could jump on Zillow and generate leads to build my team and probably see an increase in business, but I would not enjoy it, it would not fulfill me. I am launching the “I Love Madison” show because I love the climb. I believe at the end of the day this nontraditional strategy will work because I love what I do and people see that. Borrow someone's courage If you are at a roadblock, being a media company that happens to sell real estate and you are struggling, call me, I want to talk you through it and help you keep going! If you are afraid to start, call me. It's hard to start, but once you get going, it won't be long before you are comfortable, then you will be celebrating the one year mark, then two and it keeps growing from there. Mathweg Money Trivia and the Onion Juice are examples of this. Even today, I am reliving these principles as I launch the “I Love Madison” show. I feel like I have built this giant jet plane and I am not even sure if it will fly, but it is something that I believe in, and believe it will have an incredible impact on my community.
