Send us a textFrom pulling network cables to helping MSPs plan their exits—Rayanne Buchianico's journey is one of purpose, perseverance, and transformation. In this inspiring episode from IT Nation Secure 2025, Joey Pinz speaks with Rayanne and fellow trailblazer Rhea about their paths into the MSP world and how they're driving change through specialized services and support.

In this episode, Jim Garrity argues for more frequent videotaping of depositions, especially those of parties and witnesses likely to be unavailable at trial. The reason? Unlike live witnesses - who are generally called once in trial - videotaped testimony can be played two or more times. This technique utilizes one of the most effective tools of persuasion ever invented, repetition, borrowed straight from Madison Avenue, where repetition is everything. Clips played during the trial, during closing, and sometimes in opening by consent or court order, allow you to essentially present the same witness and testimony multiple times. This kind of repetition isn't possible with live witnesses, and is far superior to reading deposition transcripts to the jury. In a world where people are accustomed to getting their information through video, reading a transcript of testimony is likely to test your jurors' attention span (and patience). Garrity discusses a UCLA professor's "7-38-55 rule" to underscore the point. The gist of this rule is that when people communicate, only 7% of the message is conveyed through words, 38% through tone and voice, and a whopping 55% through body language. That's what makes the presentation of deposition testimony by video clips so powerful. Listen in!SHOW NOTESSmith, et al. v. City of Chicago, etc., Case No. 21-cv-1159, 2025 WL 1744919 (N. D. Ill.

This week, I sat down with none other than Brad Allen, co-owner and broker-in-charge at The Art of Real Estate, and a total powerhouse when it comes to building systems, scaling smart, and keeping the client experience front and center. We talk about: Brad Allen shares how he started from zero—literally—in a brand-new market where he knew no one, and how he built a thriving business rooted in relationships and results. We talk about why professionalism still matters, even in a world of viral TikToks and jean shorts, and how showing up like a pro can be your ultimate competitive edge. We also dive into the “messy middle” of today's real estate landscape—lawsuits, commissions, AI, and everything in between—and how agents can stay grounded through it all. Brad reminds us that clients aren't “crazy”—they're often just confused, and it's our job to provide the clarity they deserve. Most of all, this conversation is a testament to what's possible when you build your business on grit, systems, and service—not gimmicks. Whether you're a team leader, solo agent, or just someone trying to navigate this ever-changing market, Brad brings the kind of perspective this industry needs more of—honest, humble, and hella strategic.

Have you ever looked at your calendar, realized you had no loans coming in, and felt a wave of fear wash over you? You're not alone. Every great originator has faced that moment—the question is, do you freeze… or do you get out there and build the relationships that feed your business for years to come?In this episode of The 360 Experience, Tim sits down with Caryn Grafton—one of the top 1% of originators in the country, with over 5,500 loans funded and decades of experience building unstoppable momentum through Realtor and builder relationships. Caryn shares the exact steps she took to go from buying newspaper ads and cold-calling leads to closing 200 million in a year, all by working by referral—and teaching new loan officers to do the same.

How can giving back to your community help your real estate business grow authentically?

Whether it's avocados, dogs, or sunsets, you'll discover how your interests can lead to real, lasting connections - and ultimately, more clients who feel like your people.

SHOW NOTES: Covid was a surprise, but not completely unexpected. Financial people were prepared for some "big event." The scientific, medical, and political responses were mixed, politicized, and hurtful. In retrospect, was it necessary to suspend schools and deny kids of years of learning and socialization; to prevent families from assembling for important occasions; to shut down businesses and drive some into bankruptcy; to endanger the arts, and see cultural activities stopped, sometimes permanently; to create increased sense of fear, isolation, and helplessness. Closings, suspensions, masks, distancing were clearly huge overreactions, and perhaps completely unnecessary. What IS clear is that the failure to create bipartisan approaches which found and promoted only the best and most reasonable reactions were not present, and not even sought. It was equivalent of social media and conspiracies and absurd opinions. And it encouraged fraud in claims made for financial assistance, circumvention of rules, disrespect for medical opinion. Billions were wasted, and cheats and crooks are still being arrested. This has contributed to a sense of powerlessness, of low self-worth, and of mistrust in the system. This is an age of low trust in government, journalism, entertainment, education, and religion. We need to create more trust in ourselves. We need to demand more, and we need to stop being content voting for the "least worst candidate."

Is it possible to achieve your biggest results yet while actually working less? Absolutely! Join Eric Thompson on the Ninja Selling Podcast as he welcomes Deanna Foreman of Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty in Jacksonville, Florida, and her Ninja Coach, Jon Hill. Deanna shares her inspiring journey of how she achieved her best first quarter ever (17 closings!) and is on pace for her best second quarter, all while reclaiming her time and creating better work-life harmony. Deanna, a dedicated Ninja who has attended six installations and Ninja Now, discusses the pivotal decision to "level up" her business and engage with coaching. Learn how, with Jon's guidance, she shifted from working "25/8" (as her daughter affectionately put it) to implementing intentional business hours, taking Sundays off, and focusing her efforts. This episode explores the power of mindset, the importance of setting clear expectations with clients, and the courage to say "no" to situations that don't align with your value (like requests for commission discounts). Discover Deanna's practical strategies, such as her "monthly admin day" for proactive planning, and how simple tools like a timer can create focus and urgency. Jon Hill shares the coach's perspective on Deanna's remarkable progress, highlighting her commitment as a "100% implementer" and her willingness to step outside her comfort zone. This conversation is packed with actionable takeaways for any agent looking to boost their productivity, protect their time, and build a more fulfilling business. Join the community of 16,000+ Ninjas on the Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group for more valuable insights, collaboration, and networking opportunities!

Episode Highlights: Introducing Deanna Foreman (Coldwell Banker Vanguard Realty, Jacksonville, FL) & Ninja Coach Jon Hill Deanna's Record-Breaking Q1 2025: 17 Closings and on Pace for Best Q2 The "Why" Behind Deanna's Multiple Installation Attendances: Mindset Reset and Continuous Learning The Decision to Level Up: Deanna's Commitment to Growth From "25/8" to Work-Life Harmony: Implementing Business Hours and Taking Sundays Off Setting Expectations with Clients: Communicating Availability and Value The Power of Intentionality: Working Smarter, Not Harder Deanna's "Monthly Admin Day": A Strategy for Proactive Planning Red Flags: Recognizing and Addressing Requests for Commission Discounts The "100% Implementer": Deanna's Commitment to Taking Action The Value of Coaching: Accountability, Mindset Shifts, and Strategic Guidance   Key Takeaways: "This is my fifth installation. I have increased my business every year since... I'm gonna take my business to the next level." "[The installation is] a complete reset... you're getting different things from it because depending on where you are in your business and in your life, you're going to take different things from it." "I'm my own biggest competitor, and I'm just constantly striving for whatever I feel is next." "In order to... go to the next level... we need to go slower to go faster. We need to fill your cup." "[My daughter] would say, 'Mama, you work 25/8. Like, what are you doing?'" "I'm much more intentional during the time that I am working." "[Using a timer] makes you focus and keep things going. And you're always racing the clock. So it's almost like a game." "If someone is asking for a discount, they don't recognize the value, the true value you bring to the table." "She is someone that, once we agree on a call, I have zero doubt that... she will go out there and try. She will take what we talk about and put it into action." "I recognize that all growth happens outside of your comfort zone."   Links: Website: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/Podcast  Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com  Phone: 1-800-254-1650  Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/TheNinjaSellingPodcast  Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling  Instagram: @NinjaSellingOfficial LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling  Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public  Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/

They also share what makes a land mailer actually work (hint: stop mailing entire counties) and why having a deep understanding of your market is now non-negotiable.Tune in now to hear the unfiltered truth from Dan and Mason—and walk away with the clarity you need to move forward with confidence!===Key Topics:-How to stand out in a crowded land investing market-Why direct mail still works when done right-Turning bad agents into business opportunities-When to self-fund, use debt, or bring in investors-Spotting hidden value in overlooked land deals===

What's the difference between a pipeline that dries up and one that keeps producing? One word: follow-up. In this episode, I'm diving deep into the art (and science) of follow-up in your real estate business. Whether your lead timeline is five days or five months, staying top of mind is how you build trust—and close deals. I'll walk you through: The mindset shift that changes follow-up from “annoying” to “serving” Why 80% of sales happen after 5+ follow-ups (but most agents stop after one!) A simple weekly update system you can use with current clients My favorite real-life follow-up scripts to reconnect with leads How to nurture long-term prospects and stay in their orbit until they're ready Plus, I'm sharing the exact structure I used during my sales career to consistently follow up with listings, buyers, and even long-term nurtures—without dropping the ball. If you've ever struggled with what to say, how often to reach out, or feared “bothering” someone, this episode will help you reframe, refocus, and re-engage.
