Jerry, by anyone's definition, is a serial entrepreneur, having started a law firm, credit card processing company, real estate development company and now a real estate brokerage firm. And Jerry tells aspiring entrepreneurs expect the unexpected. Jerry, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on and welcome you to building Texas business. Nice to see you. Thanks for having me. Good to see you too. It's been a while. Let's just start. You know you've done a number of things and we'll get into some of that, but currently, what's the business that you've started and you're currently today? Jerry: So Jerry Mooty from Dallas have a business now in the residential real estate brokerage industry. So I compete with Compass and some big national brands that most of the listeners will know about. Chris: And that company's called App Properties right. Jerry: Yes, sir, it's called App Properties Christy's International Real Estate. So we kind of have a working on that. Chris: And I know you're kind of got the Dallas area covered, but I think you've also recently expanded into Austin. Jerry: Yeah, so we started in Dallas proper with our headquarters, and then we opened a second office in Frisco, texas, and then we just recently, in the fall of 2023, opened up Austin, texas. Chris: So you know, as a recovering attorney, what was it that inspired you to get into the residential brokerage real estate business? Jerry: So, interesting enough, you kind of know my history, but I founded a law firm when I was 28 and I grew that into about 60 lawyers in four cities. As the managing partner, I started doing a lot of deals for the partners as opposed to practicing law, and I went down several paths. I had a litigation support company that I founded and grew that for the partners and then, you know, ironically got into a real estate development a little startup where I had a home building division building spec homes and I had a commercial division where I was doing some commercial projects. Raw land development had a resort under contract in Bernie, but, like a lot of people in real estate, 2009, 2010 came and that was the end of my glory days in real estate. All right. Chris: So then, what led you to? You know, get involved with app properties and then take this down, go down this rabbit trail. Jerry: Sure. So in 2012, I sold my interest in the law firm back to the partnerships. I didn't want to go back to practicing full time and then did quite a few different entrepreneurial things from about 2013 to about 2019. Any you know, I had a credit card processing company, backed by the Jones family, called Blue Star Payments that merged in with a tech company and we rebranded Blue Star Sports. We were backed by some pretty large VC firms Bain Capital and GenStar partners and Providence Equity and then obviously, the Jones family. So we acquired about 27 companies in about three years and then we sold that company in 2017. Then I was kind of looking for the next thing and I became the chief business and legal officer for a Silicon Valley tech company for a couple of years. They were in a big money raise and it wasn't going so well and I was deferring comp. So I started looking at what I was going to do next. One of the people in my network is a ex litigation real estate litigator. She had gone on and got married, had kids, got a real estate license and had a brokerage here in Dallas and her model was she was going and convincing unhappy lawyers to get the real estate license. So she had about 10 agents slash attorneys as her brokerage and she approached me to come in and run her brokerage for kind of like I did the law firm. So that piqued my interest enough so we went down that path. Sadly we didn't get to execute our documentation because they ended up having a divorce situation. And then two weeks later COVID hits and so I'm waiting to take my real estate license and not sure what I'm going to do after that. Come out of the first 90 days of COVID, the market's red hot, so I hang my license, I start doing deals for my network friends and start marketing myself as an agent. All the meanwhile I'm looking for something to buy or to own or start, and so that led me through developer relationship here in Dallas to the ownership group of at properties out of Chicago. They made that introduction, flew up and met with them and really fell in love with not only the brand and the culture but also the technology that they had built. Chris: Amazing story. There's a lot to dive into there. I may definitely want to go back some, but let's stay with that properties for now. And yeah, so you that's a. It's born out of COVID, I guess. Tell us, though you know, because I know just from you, know keeping up with you and then reading on the website you've experienced some like amazing growth in the last, I guess, three and a half years. Let's talk a little bit about that. And in talking about what you've done that you think has helped accelerate it, let's talk also about the maybe the pains with growing so fast. Jerry: Sure. So as I was looking to own something and this opportunity came up, I negotiated to purchase, you know, the North Texas territory. But I wasn't really prepared to launch because it was just me and I hadn't done a whole lot of recruiting. But I had some real estate deals in the pipeline that I needed to leave the current brokerage I was at before I papered those up. So I ended up launching at properties by myself just one agent, and got temporary space and, you know, true entrepreneurial spirit started recruiting, putting in my support team, landed a pretty big compass team right out of the gate and that kind of helped accelerate the visibility. And so the first, you know, six months we grew to 10 agents by Christmas. So it wasn't, we weren't a big brokerage, but we were putting things in place. By the next year we were about just under 40 agents. So we had a really good, successful year and, you know, quadrupling our size and then last year 2023, we doubled again to about 80 agents in Dallas. So we've been kind of there's been some faster growth brokerages, but we're very we're considered more luxurious. Our agents are more high producing agents and they take a little longer to transfer from one brokerage to another based on their pipeline and their restrictions. So now that we're three and a half years into this and Austin's really kind of been a little bit of a catalyst in the last six months because initially that territory wasn't available there was a Christie's affiliate there my corporate partner asked me if I wanted Austin about a year and a half ago. I said yes and so I started putting the play pieces in place and we launched that in September. We've added quite a few agents in the first 120 days over 70 something agents there. So all in we got about a hundred agents in Dallas, about 70 in Austin. So that's the good side of the business. The headaches, as you know as an entrepreneur, are several and many. Too many to list, but we'll cover a few. My most recent success story is I just hired a controller after three and a half years. So I've been doing the books, reporting to corporate, paying the royalties, paying the checks, paying the agents. So those are the things. As an entrepreneur, you really you put your blood, sweat and tears into these businesses and then you have to get to a certain level, to where you could start to relieve yourself of some of these pains. Chris: Yeah, that's so true, jerry. A lot of the people that I've had on before say exactly that that it's one when you're starting out, you're not big enough to outsource it or to hire for it, so you got to do it. But then it's getting to that point when you even when you are big enough and can afford it the level of trust and hiring the right person to hand off those key aspects of the business, so it frees you up to do the things as an entrepreneur or the visionary you want to be doing. So let's talk about that. What was it that you think helps get to a level of trust and comfort that it's time to hand off and it's the right person to hand off to? Jerry: Yeah, I think, based on my background of being an entrepreneur, you make a lot of friends and you kind of know. You learn the hard way. You hire the wrong person a few times and then, as you get older and more seasoned, you kind of know what to look for. In this instance, with that properties, I hired somebody I'd known for 35 years to come in and be my director of agents. I've known her since the SMU days, so the trust was already built in and then you're just very selective as you add the pieces to the puzzle to get those right people in place. So in half years we've let one or two people go, but we've been pretty successful in hitting the mark. Chris: That's great. So 70 agents or so you said. Have you started to implement any kind of processes that help with the integration process as you bring in these new people, so they understand kind of what the expectations are, what the benefits are for making the move? I mean, so where are you and what's the process you've gone through to kind of make that more institutionalized? Jerry: So the background for at properties and the corporate support we have is pretty important in how we've gotten here. They're a 25 year brokerage. They're the eighth largest in the country before acquiring the Christie's affiliate network, so they kind of had the processes in place. So it's buying. Whenever you buy a franchise and you wanna go down this path, you kind of get a little bit of assistance from and some help along the way on someone else putting the right pieces in place. I think what we've done a great job is integrate and implement those things that they've brought to the table, which I think revolves around a lot of our culture. You know, I think culture is so important in any business you have and so it's just we have fun things called at love, local events that came from corporate. So we'll pick a merchant somewhere in our geographical area, we'll partner with them, we'll send out a marketing campaign. Let's say it's a coffee shop and then whoever shows up at that coffee shop, our agents are there and we're running a tap for a coffee or a Danish in the morning. So that's kind of the community outreach piece. We use the word love strategically in all our marketing. So we say bringing the love to Dallas, bringing the love to Frisco and those types of things. So you know, recruiting is probably once you get the, once you get your overhead stabilized and your office space and those types of things. This is a business about relationships and recruiting. So I would say our two most important people outside of myself are our head of recruiting out of Frisco, head of recruiting out of the Dallas office, and so those have been very good hires. Chris: You know most, I think most businesses. It's hard to say they're not people, businesses or relationship, but certainly you know in the business you're in, where you're so customer facing right, you need good people that can go out and attract good customers, provide good service. But I have to imagine the last 18 months or so in residential real estate hasn't been the easiest. So can you talk a little bit about what you've done to help continue, promote one, promote the culture, to keep people positive and energized while managing through what has to have been a challenging time? Jerry: Yeah, absolutely so. Obviously we're all aware of how hot the market got, you know, a couple of years ago, you know, during COVID and post COVID. What that did in our industry is everybody wanted a real estate license because they saw all these transactions happen. So we had an influx of agents that came in that are young, inexperienced, but were here to make some money. And then, when the market turns, you kind of have the reverse effect. Those people were all eat what you kill, or 10, 9, 9 commissioned agents. They got to figure out how to pay the bills, and so we've had a pretty big exodus. Probably 15 to 20% of our agents across the nation have left the industry, and so that's been good for the sense of the people staying in it because you got less competition. But the ones that stayed in it most of them, have been through some of these ebbs and flows of the market, and so they kind of know how to prepare. And most of that revolves around when your transaction desk is slower, what are you ramping up to do? Are you ramping up your marketing, your postcard, social media content, are you revamping your website? And so those are all things that we, which the agents that work for us and part of our big, strong sales pitch based on the technology that we have. Chris: Got you Speaking of that on the marketing side, you know, are you seeing? I guess, one area or the other as far as marketing strategy work better, get more visibility or more return on investment. You see so much on social media, so it seems natural that that would be one, but I don't know if that's the leading one based on your experience or not. Jerry: Yeah, I think in pretty much every industry has been affected by the internet and no industry more so than real estate. I would say probably 10 years ago you saw a lot of print ads. You saw a lot of ads and you know business journals and those types of things trying to move property. But now it's really a digital world. We're using social media, we're using tools called AdWords, which is a retargeting tool to where it's essentially like if you went and looked at a pair of shoes at Nordstroms and then you left Nordstroms, those shoes are following you around. So we have the ability to target, geo track and geo target potential prospects and clients through our technology. Obviously, websites are important. Your collaboration tools that you're preparing a search for a prospect, like they're looking in this area for a certain price point. We have the ability to set those searches up and work with a prospect or a client on finding the home, ironically in the last price. I don't know when this started, but in the last year or so, almost 85% of buyers find the home they want before they hire an agent, or at least they zero it down based on how much information is on the internet. And so, really, as an agent, what you're trying to do is bring your expertise not only to get that transaction under contract, but then most of the work happens one second transactions under contract all the way through closing. Chris: Right, that is an amazing statistic 85%, but you're right. I mean, when everyone goes to the internet first, I think, to research or validate or do something. So it makes sense to me, but it's a big number. Sounds like you know here you use your work, technology and innovation and stuff quite a bit already since we started the interview. Some of this may have come from your franchise or some may have come from some things You're doing, but what are some of the things you believe are innovative in the way that you're operating the brokerage and helping your agents be successful? Jerry: Sure. So I think when you start understanding what different brokerages bring to the table in regards to support for their agent portfolio. Obviously marketing is a big one because they're pushing all the stuff out that we're talking about, but also the day-to-day operation of an agent is pretty important. Most brokerages large brokerages like Coldwell, banker, some of your biggest national brands are very antiquated when it comes to technology support. I would say there's two brokerages at the forefront. I'd say Compass is in second place and I think App Properties is in first place. And I say that because we've been building a technology stack called Platform, or our franchise or has, since 2003 and basically an agent logs in and does everything they need to do as an agent in one technology. When I interview agents and I show them the technology, they're blown away because they're in four or five, six different technologies throughout the day trying to get their social media posted or created, their transactions done over here, their docuSigns another technology they have to use, and we have everything in one place, and so that's been a real big selling point for us when we're recruiting these agents. Chris: Yeah, I mean anything to make your employees or, in your case, I guess, your contractor's life easier. Have you started to look into, or is this already incorporating any kind of versions of AI? Jerry: AI is already integrated. Nowadays, agents are always doing, as an easy example, they're doing descriptions of the properties. So now you can lean on AI to help you describe a $5 million house with five bedrooms, six baths by describing it into AI, and then it'll help you create that luxury description. So there's things like that. Obviously, our CRM has a lot of AI tied to it and so, yeah, that's the way of the future and it's getting more and more integrated and implemented into all our tools. Very nice, very nice yeah. Chris: All right. So I want to make you kind of reflect back. So yeah, this about, by your own description, not the first time you kind of started a new venture or stepped outside your comfort zone. So when you think about what you did I guess leaving, you know, maybe leaving the law firm or even some of the ventures you started while you were there, but going to credit card processing et cetera where are some of the lessons you learn through those ventures that you think prepared you for taking the step you did without properties and the steps you're taking now to grow so rapidly? Jerry: Yeah, I think if you're a serial entrepreneur like myself, I think the one thing you learn each time that you have an idea or you go down the path of starting something is you think you're going to get to the finish line a lot easier. It's your idea and you think you're going to do that. And I think probably in every instance including the law firm, including the credit card processing is one lesson is it just takes a lot to probably 10 times, 100 times more man hours and work and you got hurdles. That you're not expecting. But I think that's part of the reward too is why I'm built the way I am. You enjoy that when an obstacle comes and you get your way around it or over it. But I think you know frankly, it's probably what every entrepreneur says it's never as easy as you think it is. There's no get rich. You know we talked about most of what we do as lawyers and what I'm doing is a people game. You know you're hiring people and people disappoint, you know, and you're having to find different people sometimes, and so the lesson is just pride and expect the unexpected and you'll be okay and be able to sleep at night. Chris: I like that. Well, think about, is there a kind of a challenge or a failure setback that you can point to over the last, you know, 15 years, 20 years, whatever that you feel is maybe in some ways either a defining moment for you or one of the bigger learning moments that you got? You kind of got hit with a little headwind but you overcame it and because of that it's kind of helped propel you either in your own personal journey as a leader or, you know, in things you learned as an entrepreneur. Jerry: Yeah, I'd say you know, probably the biggest lesson learned of all time was me starting a real estate development company with a home builder and a commercial partner and, you know, diving into that with not a whole lot of experience, and so the challenge was obviously, in real estate, you're hoping to build something and sell it, and so the big challenges is if you build it and you borrow a bunch of money and you don't sell it. And so in 0809, 2010 is probably should have been my premier happiest days of my life. I'm on a law firm, I'm making some good you know coin on the law firm side, but I'm literally getting dragged through the mud financially on the real estate piece, and it's probably one of the reasons it's taken me 10 years to get back into it on the brokerage side, because I literally came out of that was some financial PSD. You know just could not sleep, you know got I mean health issues, depression, pretty much everything you can experience as an entrepreneur and so you figure out a lot about yourself when you're going through something like that, and you know you either stay in bed and talk about it or you pull up your socks and get out and try it again. Chris: That internal fortitude, you know I think any entrepreneurs got to have that or it's just not going to happen. I appreciate you sharing that. Were there some things that you did? You know that you know other than just I mean pure gutted out. You know, to help you kind of get through that. You know, leaning on family friends, I don't know. I mean I have to believe we've got some listeners and other people out there that you're going through the same thing. Jerry: Sure, I think where I lucked out was, you know, just to be frank, I was on about $60 million and personally guaranteed debt that was worth probably about 30 by the time I was trying to get out of it. So there wasn't going to be any family help. It was. It was hey with you, you know, in a loving way, of course. But when you dig a hole like that, you just got to figure out the best way out. And for me, where I benefited was I had a law degree and I was a lawyer and creditors could not touch the ownership interest in my law firm because it was tied to my license. So, through bankruptcy lawyers and all that stuff, I got educated on that and gave me the strategy to get through that situation and come out on the other end, which was one of the reasons I sold the interest of the law firm back to the partners, because that allowed me to have a little bit of a stream of income there in 2012, 13 and 14, while I got the credit card processing company going and getting these other things going. So there was, if there was, a silver lining, it was that fact, but it was still still pretty embarrassing financially and pretty embarrassing as a professional to really go through that over a three or four year period. Chris: You got to be hard but, like I said, I mean now that you've come through it, you know you can certainly appreciate the opportunities you have today and know that. You know I certainly probably learned some lessons of what to not do, going forward right. Jerry: Absolutely, I would say. The one lesson you learn in that scenario is you become a lot more frugal with your financial decisions and you know, especially in the banking industry, like one thing I'm proud of with that properties is we've never bought a bar to dollar. We got zero debt, and so those that's a probably a direct result of what I went through, you know, 15 years ago was I don't want to do another business where I got a bunch of debt and I'm trying to get that off and make money to live off of. Chris: That's great. So you mentioned earlier I think it was a credit card processing BlueStar, where you had some dealings with Bain Capital, and obviously you're dealing with a franchise or in this current business. So let's talk a little bit about maybe what you've learned through that. I kind of relate or maybe call those you know investors, partners, strategic partners. What have you learned as kind of some of the best ways to deal with them so you keep that relationship strong and healthy? And maybe it's something you know that happened that you're like I did this or they did. You know something that happened that soured the relationship, one they got to help our clients here at the firm you know, you know find themselves in those situations all the time, and so I'm curious you know what you know, what lessons you've learned through that process? Jerry: Yeah, so I would say getting involved in. And so when we had the credit card processing company, it was pretty a pretty simple model. We were going out and you know recruiting or or you know we're trying to sell merchants, you know restaurants Anybody who ran a credit card was it was a prospective client approached by a group who had an idea of buying up these technology companies in the youth sports space. So like, if you sign your kid up for soccer, you're there's usually a form and at the end of that form, whether it be the YMCA or anywhere else, you're paying a fee for your child to play that on that soccer team. So the model we had was take the credit card processing that we had built our own API and those types of things and bake it into a technology and go buy these companies. And interestingly, it was about how do you flip the model from a EBITDA and a multiple perspective. So these tech companies that weren't that large of companies because they were kind of geographically located, running different types of youth sports camps or whatnot, they weren't sophisticated enough and they were usually outsourcing their credit card processing to stripe or squares or something like that. So we would acquire these companies and bake in our own processing and from an ownership perspective, then that would change the multiple for maybe two times to 12 times because you have that reoccurring revenue stream coming into your business model. I literally probably learned more over that. First, 12 to 20 per month as we were acquiring these companies, doing due diligence on them, and I was the chief legal officer of the company, so I was in charge of all the due diligence. So we acquired 20 something companies and I bet I did due diligence on about 300 over two years. But it was really cool because I got to see what investors and power players in the venture capital market, how they looked at things and it's there's not a lot of emotion, it's numbers on paper and it's how do we make, how do we do this to this group of businesses, and then how do we sell it and make money. All about the return on investment, right. Chris: Exactly so. It's a. Jerry: It's very cutthroat which some businesses are, some aren't, but it was a great learning experience. I'd like to say I probably learned more in that two to three years Dealing with those big VC firms and listening to those meetings and kind of running point on due diligence than I probably learned in any other aspect of my life. Now, that's so, but that's so. Chris: Let's turn it back a little bit to app properties specifically. I know you've recently launched a new sports and entertainment division Tell us about that. What's going on behind that and what are you trying to accomplish so in the real estate brokerage? Jerry: world. There's different ways to market yourself right, and a lot of that boils down to your experience of your agent portfolio, and so some real estate brokerages are residential, some may just be commercial, but on our side we have, we've accumulated some agents that allowed us to create these divisions because of their experience levels. So land and ranch is one division, and then sports and entertainment is another division, and basically there's some criteria that we've put in place before an agent can say they're part of that team or that division dealing with professional athletes or celebrities on a number of occasions, some of the qualifications, but essentially, when somebody's moving like a professional athlete or a celebrity, there's a lot of sensitivity to that, or there's a lot of urgency, there's a lot more moving pieces, and so that specific division has agents who are, you know, experts in helping that transaction or that client Get from point A to B and solve a lot of problems along the way how to move their cars, how to move their kids into new schools, you know everything that comes along with kind of that type of transaction, as opposed to someone just buying a house and selling a house. So are we going to see? Chris: Super Bowl ads anytime soon, if I can at homecom I could afford it. Jerry: No, that's the goal is. We're really good because of how the clients affiliate network has come into play for us. I don't know if we mentioned this before the call or on the call, but you know our corporate partner ended up buying the Christie's affiliate network, which is a network of independently owned brokerages around the world. I think we have 900 offices in 54 countries, about 35,000 agents, and the reason Christie's the auction house, christie's the family who's owned that brand and that company for two hundred years. They sold the app properties because of the technology and we've been for two years bringing a worldwide global powerhouse network together into the technology to share referrals and data and information, and so that's been one of the one of the real keys to some credibility for us. Very cool. Chris: I think you just launched something else, maybe in the last week. Developer services Tell us about that. Jerry: So so again, we all know there's developers out here but we're not sure there's developers out here building multifamily building, you know, developing neighborhoods, multi-use, and so for a brokerage our size to have the ability to provide those services was kind of hard. So we ended up meeting a group of people out of Austin who came from Storybill and for those listeners who've heard about Storybill, that's a multi-billion dollar developer who went, ran out of money last summer. But we ended up negotiating their entire creative team to come over to Christie, our Christie's, and create this development services division. So starting with the chief marketing officer all the way down to their website development team, their on-site sales, so we've got a team of about 12 of superstars and they really fell in love with the Christie's brand to kind of move from Storybill into our umbrella, to kind of push those services out. So that'll be a huge win for us. Chris: So, as you sit there running all this, what is it that kind of triggers for you that this is an opportunity that makes sense, because not everybody can see that, and so there are things you're looking for. How do you go about making that decision and taking on the risk? Jerry: Yeah, so risk is a little less scary in our business because most everybody who works for our brokerage is a 1099 contractor. So we really have a pretty lean machine when it comes to we're running this right now with about seven full-time employees, three offices, so you got overhead from an office space perspective, but really you're kind of it's kind of a lean business model, which is one of the things that attracted me to it. And then obviously you have to have the people to be able to promote these different levels of services. So I think the thing that's been lucky for us is one our relationship and our network in Dallas to help get it started. And then obviously the people we've been able to add at such a young infancy of a company have given us the credibility and the numbers are reflecting that. Chris: Gotcha. So before I don't want to wrap this up without talking a little bit just about you and your leadership style, let's talk. You know, how would you describe your leadership style? How do you think that's evolved over time based on the scars and other lessons learned? Jerry: You know you work at a law firm, so you know running a law firm is you got a lot of smart people, a lot of egos, a lot of staff, a lot of overhead, and so I learned a lot about you know the operational side of a business in that seat. And then I think my ownership style has probably changed completely since I left the law firm. I'm a lot more interested in the well-being of my employees, a lot more sensitive to the culture. I think. When you talk about people coming to work and going home, in my mindset now I want that to be a great experience. I kind of use the word experience a lot in the last couple of years for some reason, and I think it's just. My evolution is like everything in our lives is an experience and you can make it a good one or you can make it a bad one, and so I think my leadership style is I want every experience to be a good one. At the best I can make it. Obviously you're going to have your headaches and your issues pop up, but we have the music on in our offices every day. We have happy hours on Thursdays. We built bars in both of our offices in Dallas and Frisco, and then we're putting one in our location in Austin so that we can have happy hours with our agents and our clients and our prospects. We hold a lot of events and I think our interaction with the community and the philanthropic stuff that we're doing is really cool. So I think where I've gotten is you know I'm 54 now and you know I started that law firm at 28 and I had a whole different picture in my mind at 28, right Till 35, of what life was going to be for me, and now I'm kind of trying to enjoy it a lot more. Chris: I love that man. Happy for you. You know clearly you're on the right track and couldn't agree more about how important culture is to any company. And I think I've said similar to you. I think life is about experiences. I think they're only really down to learning experiences good experiences and learning experiences as though, rather than bad, just learn from them and don't repeat them. Jerry: Yeah exactly right. Chris: So let's turn a little bit on the personal side of things and not as serious. What was your first job? Jerry: First job, I was a clerk in a law firm. Chris: Okay. Jerry: I was working in law school. Okay, my first job in high school. Like most of us, I grew up in Missouri in a small town. I had a yard. You know service with my best friend and we had our lawn mowers in the back of his truck and we mowed yards. So that was probably my first experience as a having a job. There you go, and first is an entrepreneur was leaving a 250 person firm to start a law firm with two other guys and being 28 years old and that was pretty exciting. We had metal chairs and you know fold up conference room table and laid out of the movie. Chris: Love it. Well, I can relate to the a little bit to that, but definitely relate to the mowing yards. That's what buddy of mine and I did in high school. So you know good money then I guess. Okay, personal preference, tex-mex or barbecue? Well, that's a tough one Probably barbecue. All right. And if you could, take a 30 day sabbatical. Where would you go? What would you do? Jerry: You know, this is my two sons who are a senior and sophomore at University of Texas right now. They called a year ago about this time and said, dad, we're going to go to Japan. And I was like, okay, and they got on a plane, just the two of them went to Japan for three weeks and after hearing that I kind of want to do that. Chris: How cool is that. The two of us went and did it on their own. Jerry: They did it on their own, traveled around on trains and backpack and love it. They're experienced when they told the stories and went through the pictures. I mean it's just a really cool culture. I'd like to go experience that. Chris: Okay, jerry, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to come on. It's hard to believe that you know I don't. I might add the numbers we met at SMU and, as undergraduates, went to law school together, so we had a lot of years together. So it's great to see where you are today and what you're doing. So proud of you. Jerry: Man. I appreciate that. And the same back at you. I followed you your whole career and super, super proud of you. What kind of legal person you are and lawyer and leader and everything you're about. So appreciate having me on and proud of you too, my man. Chris: All right, we'll do it again. We'll find a reason to do it again sometime soon. Awesome Sounds good. Special Guest: Jerry Mooty.

Jerry, by anyone's definition, is a serial entrepreneur, having started a law firm, credit card processing company, real estate development company and now a real estate brokerage firm. And Jerry tells aspiring entrepreneurs expect the unexpected. Jerry, I want to thank you for taking the time to come on and welcome you to building Texas business. Nice to see you. Thanks for having me. Good to see you too. It's been a while. Let's just start. You know you've done a number of things and we'll get into some of that, but currently, what's the business that you've started and you're currently today? Jerry: So Jerry Mooty from Dallas have a business now in the residential real estate brokerage industry. So I compete with Compass and some big national brands that most of the listeners will know about. Chris: And that company's called App Properties right. Jerry: Yes, sir, it's called App Properties Christy's International Real Estate. So we kind of have a working on that. Chris: And I know you're kind of got the Dallas area covered, but I think you've also recently expanded into Austin. Jerry: Yeah, so we started in Dallas proper with our headquarters, and then we opened a second office in Frisco, texas, and then we just recently, in the fall of 2023, opened up Austin, texas. Chris: So you know, as a recovering attorney, what was it that inspired you to get into the residential brokerage real estate business? Jerry: So, interesting enough, you kind of know my history, but I founded a law firm when I was 28 and I grew that into about 60 lawyers in four cities. As the managing partner, I started doing a lot of deals for the partners as opposed to practicing law, and I went down several paths. I had a litigation support company that I founded and grew that for the partners and then, you know, ironically got into a real estate development a little startup where I had a home building division building spec homes and I had a commercial division where I was doing some commercial projects. Raw land development had a resort under contract in Bernie, but, like a lot of people in real estate, 2009, 2010 came and that was the end of my glory days in real estate. All right. Chris: So then, what led you to? You know, get involved with app properties and then take this down, go down this rabbit trail. Jerry: Sure. So in 2012, I sold my interest in the law firm back to the partnerships. I didn't want to go back to practicing full time and then did quite a few different entrepreneurial things from about 2013 to about 2019. Any you know, I had a credit card processing company, backed by the Jones family, called Blue Star Payments that merged in with a tech company and we rebranded Blue Star Sports. We were backed by some pretty large VC firms Bain Capital and GenStar partners and Providence Equity and then obviously, the Jones family. So we acquired about 27 companies in about three years and then we sold that company in 2017. Then I was kind of looking for the next thing and I became the chief business and legal officer for a Silicon Valley tech company for a couple of years. They were in a big money raise and it wasn't going so well and I was deferring comp. So I started looking at what I was going to do next. One of the people in my network is a ex litigation real estate litigator. She had gone on and got married, had kids, got a real estate license and had a brokerage here in Dallas and her model was she was going and convincing unhappy lawyers to get the real estate license. So she had about 10 agents slash attorneys as her brokerage and she approached me to come in and run her brokerage for kind of like I did the law firm. So that piqued my interest enough so we went down that path. Sadly we didn't get to execute our documentation because they ended up having a divorce situation. And then two weeks later COVID hits and so I'm waiting to take my real estate license and not sure what I'm going to do after that. Come out of the first 90 days of COVID, the market's red hot, so I hang my license, I start doing deals for my network friends and start marketing myself as an agent. All the meanwhile I'm looking for something to buy or to own or start, and so that led me through developer relationship here in Dallas to the ownership group of at properties out of Chicago. They made that introduction, flew up and met with them and really fell in love with not only the brand and the culture but also the technology that they had built. Chris: Amazing story. There's a lot to dive into there. I may definitely want to go back some, but let's stay with that properties for now. And yeah, so you that's a. It's born out of COVID, I guess. Tell us, though you know, because I know just from you, know keeping up with you and then reading on the website you've experienced some like amazing growth in the last, I guess, three and a half years. Let's talk a little bit about that. And in talking about what you've done that you think has helped accelerate it, let's talk also about the maybe the pains with growing so fast. Jerry: Sure. So as I was looking to own something and this opportunity came up, I negotiated to purchase, you know, the North Texas territory. But I wasn't really prepared to launch because it was just me and I hadn't done a whole lot of recruiting. But I had some real estate deals in the pipeline that I needed to leave the current brokerage I was at before I papered those up. So I ended up launching at properties by myself just one agent, and got temporary space and, you know, true entrepreneurial spirit started recruiting, putting in my support team, landed a pretty big compass team right out of the gate and that kind of helped accelerate the visibility. And so the first, you know, six months we grew to 10 agents by Christmas. So it wasn't, we weren't a big brokerage, but we were putting things in place. By the next year we were about just under 40 agents. So we had a really good, successful year and, you know, quadrupling our size and then last year 2023, we doubled again to about 80 agents in Dallas. So we've been kind of there's been some faster growth brokerages, but we're very we're considered more luxurious. Our agents are more high producing agents and they take a little longer to transfer from one brokerage to another based on their pipeline and their restrictions. So now that we're three and a half years into this and Austin's really kind of been a little bit of a catalyst in the last six months because initially that territory wasn't available there was a Christie's affiliate there my corporate partner asked me if I wanted Austin about a year and a half ago. I said yes and so I started putting the play pieces in place and we launched that in September. We've added quite a few agents in the first 120 days over 70 something agents there. So all in we got about a hundred agents in Dallas, about 70 in Austin. So that's the good side of the business. The headaches, as you know as an entrepreneur, are several and many. Too many to list, but we'll cover a few. My most recent success story is I just hired a controller after three and a half years. So I've been doing the books, reporting to corporate, paying the royalties, paying the checks, paying the agents. So those are the things. As an entrepreneur, you really you put your blood, sweat and tears into these businesses and then you have to get to a certain level, to where you could start to relieve yourself of some of these pains. Chris: Yeah, that's so true, jerry. A lot of the people that I've had on before say exactly that that it's one when you're starting out, you're not big enough to outsource it or to hire for it, so you got to do it. But then it's getting to that point when you even when you are big enough and can afford it the level of trust and hiring the right person to hand off those key aspects of the business, so it frees you up to do the things as an entrepreneur or the visionary you want to be doing. So let's talk about that. What was it that you think helps get to a level of trust and comfort that it's time to hand off and it's the right person to hand off to? Jerry: Yeah, I think, based on my background of being an entrepreneur, you make a lot of friends and you kind of know. You learn the hard way. You hire the wrong person a few times and then, as you get older and more seasoned, you kind of know what to look for. In this instance, with that properties, I hired somebody I'd known for 35 years to come in and be my director of agents. I've known her since the SMU days, so the trust was already built in and then you're just very selective as you add the pieces to the puzzle to get those right people in place. So in half years we've let one or two people go, but we've been pretty successful in hitting the mark. Chris: That's great. So 70 agents or so you said. Have you started to implement any kind of processes that help with the integration process as you bring in these new people, so they understand kind of what the expectations are, what the benefits are for making the move? I mean, so where are you and what's the process you've gone through to kind of make that more institutionalized? Jerry: So the background for at properties and the corporate support we have is pretty important in how we've gotten here. They're a 25 year brokerage. They're the eighth largest in the country before acquiring the Christie's affiliate network, so they kind of had the processes in place. So it's buying. Whenever you buy a franchise and you wanna go down this path, you kind of get a little bit of assistance from and some help along the way on someone else putting the right pieces in place. I think what we've done a great job is integrate and implement those things that they've brought to the table, which I think revolves around a lot of our culture. You know, I think culture is so important in any business you have and so it's just we have fun things called at love, local events that came from corporate. So we'll pick a merchant somewhere in our geographical area, we'll partner with them, we'll send out a marketing campaign. Let's say it's a coffee shop and then whoever shows up at that coffee shop, our agents are there and we're running a tap for a coffee or a Danish in the morning. So that's kind of the community outreach piece. We use the word love strategically in all our marketing. So we say bringing the love to Dallas, bringing the love to Frisco and those types of things. So you know, recruiting is probably once you get the, once you get your overhead stabilized and your office space and those types of things. This is a business about relationships and recruiting. So I would say our two most important people outside of myself are our head of recruiting out of Frisco, head of recruiting out of the Dallas office, and so those have been very good hires. Chris: You know most, I think most businesses. It's hard to say they're not people, businesses or relationship, but certainly you know in the business you're in, where you're so customer facing right, you need good people that can go out and attract good customers, provide good service. But I have to imagine the last 18 months or so in residential real estate hasn't been the easiest. So can you talk a little bit about what you've done to help continue, promote one, promote the culture, to keep people positive and energized while managing through what has to have been a challenging time? Jerry: Yeah, absolutely so. Obviously we're all aware of how hot the market got, you know, a couple of years ago, you know, during COVID and post COVID. What that did in our industry is everybody wanted a real estate license because they saw all these transactions happen. So we had an influx of agents that came in that are young, inexperienced, but were here to make some money. And then, when the market turns, you kind of have the reverse effect. Those people were all eat what you kill, or 10, 9, 9 commissioned agents. They got to figure out how to pay the bills, and so we've had a pretty big exodus. Probably 15 to 20% of our agents across the nation have left the industry, and so that's been good for the sense of the people staying in it because you got less competition. But the ones that stayed in it most of them, have been through some of these ebbs and flows of the market, and so they kind of know how to prepare. And most of that revolves around when your transaction desk is slower, what are you ramping up to do? Are you ramping up your marketing, your postcard, social media content, are you revamping your website? And so those are all things that we, which the agents that work for us and part of our big, strong sales pitch based on the technology that we have. Chris: Got you Speaking of that on the marketing side, you know, are you seeing? I guess, one area or the other as far as marketing strategy work better, get more visibility or more return on investment. You see so much on social media, so it seems natural that that would be one, but I don't know if that's the leading one based on your experience or not. Jerry: Yeah, I think in pretty much every industry has been affected by the internet and no industry more so than real estate. I would say probably 10 years ago you saw a lot of print ads. You saw a lot of ads and you know business journals and those types of things trying to move property. But now it's really a digital world. We're using social media, we're using tools called AdWords, which is a retargeting tool to where it's essentially like if you went and looked at a pair of shoes at Nordstroms and then you left Nordstroms, those shoes are following you around. So we have the ability to target, geo track and geo target potential prospects and clients through our technology. Obviously, websites are important. Your collaboration tools that you're preparing a search for a prospect, like they're looking in this area for a certain price point. We have the ability to set those searches up and work with a prospect or a client on finding the home, ironically in the last price. I don't know when this started, but in the last year or so, almost 85% of buyers find the home they want before they hire an agent, or at least they zero it down based on how much information is on the internet. And so, really, as an agent, what you're trying to do is bring your expertise not only to get that transaction under contract, but then most of the work happens one second transactions under contract all the way through closing. Chris: Right, that is an amazing statistic 85%, but you're right. I mean, when everyone goes to the internet first, I think, to research or validate or do something. So it makes sense to me, but it's a big number. Sounds like you know here you use your work, technology and innovation and stuff quite a bit already since we started the interview. Some of this may have come from your franchise or some may have come from some things You're doing, but what are some of the things you believe are innovative in the way that you're operating the brokerage and helping your agents be successful? Jerry: Sure. So I think when you start understanding what different brokerages bring to the table in regards to support for their agent portfolio. Obviously marketing is a big one because they're pushing all the stuff out that we're talking about, but also the day-to-day operation of an agent is pretty important. Most brokerages large brokerages like Coldwell, banker, some of your biggest national brands are very antiquated when it comes to technology support. I would say there's two brokerages at the forefront. I'd say Compass is in second place and I think App Properties is in first place. And I say that because we've been building a technology stack called Platform, or our franchise or has, since 2003 and basically an agent logs in and does everything they need to do as an agent in one technology. When I interview agents and I show them the technology, they're blown away because they're in four or five, six different technologies throughout the day trying to get their social media posted or created, their transactions done over here, their docuSigns another technology they have to use, and we have everything in one place, and so that's been a real big selling point for us when we're recruiting these agents. Chris: Yeah, I mean anything to make your employees or, in your case, I guess, your contractor's life easier. Have you started to look into, or is this already incorporating any kind of versions of AI? Jerry: AI is already integrated. Nowadays, agents are always doing, as an easy example, they're doing descriptions of the properties. So now you can lean on AI to help you describe a $5 million house with five bedrooms, six baths by describing it into AI, and then it'll help you create that luxury description. So there's things like that. Obviously, our CRM has a lot of AI tied to it and so, yeah, that's the way of the future and it's getting more and more integrated and implemented into all our tools. Very nice, very nice yeah. Chris: All right. So I want to make you kind of reflect back. So yeah, this about, by your own description, not the first time you kind of started a new venture or stepped outside your comfort zone. So when you think about what you did I guess leaving, you know, maybe leaving the law firm or even some of the ventures you started while you were there, but going to credit card processing et cetera where are some of the lessons you learn through those ventures that you think prepared you for taking the step you did without properties and the steps you're taking now to grow so rapidly? Jerry: Yeah, I think if you're a serial entrepreneur like myself, I think the one thing you learn each time that you have an idea or you go down the path of starting something is you think you're going to get to the finish line a lot easier. It's your idea and you think you're going to do that. And I think probably in every instance including the law firm, including the credit card processing is one lesson is it just takes a lot to probably 10 times, 100 times more man hours and work and you got hurdles. That you're not expecting. But I think that's part of the reward too is why I'm built the way I am. You enjoy that when an obstacle comes and you get your way around it or over it. But I think you know frankly, it's probably what every entrepreneur says it's never as easy as you think it is. There's no get rich. You know we talked about most of what we do as lawyers and what I'm doing is a people game. You know you're hiring people and people disappoint, you know, and you're having to find different people sometimes, and so the lesson is just pride and expect the unexpected and you'll be okay and be able to sleep at night. Chris: I like that. Well, think about, is there a kind of a challenge or a failure setback that you can point to over the last, you know, 15 years, 20 years, whatever that you feel is maybe in some ways either a defining moment for you or one of the bigger learning moments that you got? You kind of got hit with a little headwind but you overcame it and because of that it's kind of helped propel you either in your own personal journey as a leader or, you know, in things you learned as an entrepreneur. Jerry: Yeah, I'd say you know, probably the biggest lesson learned of all time was me starting a real estate development company with a home builder and a commercial partner and, you know, diving into that with not a whole lot of experience, and so the challenge was obviously, in real estate, you're hoping to build something and sell it, and so the big challenges is if you build it and you borrow a bunch of money and you don't sell it. And so in 0809, 2010 is probably should have been my premier happiest days of my life. I'm on a law firm, I'm making some good you know coin on the law firm side, but I'm literally getting dragged through the mud financially on the real estate piece, and it's probably one of the reasons it's taken me 10 years to get back into it on the brokerage side, because I literally came out of that was some financial PSD. You know just could not sleep, you know got I mean health issues, depression, pretty much everything you can experience as an entrepreneur and so you figure out a lot about yourself when you're going through something like that, and you know you either stay in bed and talk about it or you pull up your socks and get out and try it again. Chris: That internal fortitude, you know I think any entrepreneurs got to have that or it's just not going to happen. I appreciate you sharing that. Were there some things that you did? You know that you know other than just I mean pure gutted out. You know, to help you kind of get through that. You know, leaning on family friends, I don't know. I mean I have to believe we've got some listeners and other people out there that you're going through the same thing. Jerry: Sure, I think where I lucked out was, you know, just to be frank, I was on about $60 million and personally guaranteed debt that was worth probably about 30 by the time I was trying to get out of it. So there wasn't going to be any family help. It was. It was hey with you, you know, in a loving way, of course. But when you dig a hole like that, you just got to figure out the best way out. And for me, where I benefited was I had a law degree and I was a lawyer and creditors could not touch the ownership interest in my law firm because it was tied to my license. So, through bankruptcy lawyers and all that stuff, I got educated on that and gave me the strategy to get through that situation and come out on the other end, which was one of the reasons I sold the interest of the law firm back to the partners, because that allowed me to have a little bit of a stream of income there in 2012, 13 and 14, while I got the credit card processing company going and getting these other things going. So there was, if there was, a silver lining, it was that fact, but it was still still pretty embarrassing financially and pretty embarrassing as a professional to really go through that over a three or four year period. Chris: You got to be hard but, like I said, I mean now that you've come through it, you know you can certainly appreciate the opportunities you have today and know that. You know I certainly probably learned some lessons of what to not do, going forward right. Jerry: Absolutely, I would say. The one lesson you learn in that scenario is you become a lot more frugal with your financial decisions and you know, especially in the banking industry, like one thing I'm proud of with that properties is we've never bought a bar to dollar. We got zero debt, and so those that's a probably a direct result of what I went through, you know, 15 years ago was I don't want to do another business where I got a bunch of debt and I'm trying to get that off and make money to live off of. Chris: That's great. So you mentioned earlier I think it was a credit card processing BlueStar, where you had some dealings with Bain Capital, and obviously you're dealing with a franchise or in this current business. So let's talk a little bit about maybe what you've learned through that. I kind of relate or maybe call those you know investors, partners, strategic partners. What have you learned as kind of some of the best ways to deal with them so you keep that relationship strong and healthy? And maybe it's something you know that happened that you're like I did this or they did. You know something that happened that soured the relationship, one they got to help our clients here at the firm you know, you know find themselves in those situations all the time, and so I'm curious you know what you know, what lessons you've learned through that process? Jerry: Yeah, so I would say getting involved in. And so when we had the credit card processing company, it was pretty a pretty simple model. We were going out and you know recruiting or or you know we're trying to sell merchants, you know restaurants Anybody who ran a credit card was it was a prospective client approached by a group who had an idea of buying up these technology companies in the youth sports space. So like, if you sign your kid up for soccer, you're there's usually a form and at the end of that form, whether it be the YMCA or anywhere else, you're paying a fee for your child to play that on that soccer team. So the model we had was take the credit card processing that we had built our own API and those types of things and bake it into a technology and go buy these companies. And interestingly, it was about how do you flip the model from a EBITDA and a multiple perspective. So these tech companies that weren't that large of companies because they were kind of geographically located, running different types of youth sports camps or whatnot, they weren't sophisticated enough and they were usually outsourcing their credit card processing to stripe or squares or something like that. So we would acquire these companies and bake in our own processing and from an ownership perspective, then that would change the multiple for maybe two times to 12 times because you have that reoccurring revenue stream coming into your business model. I literally probably learned more over that. First, 12 to 20 per month as we were acquiring these companies, doing due diligence on them, and I was the chief legal officer of the company, so I was in charge of all the due diligence. So we acquired 20 something companies and I bet I did due diligence on about 300 over two years. But it was really cool because I got to see what investors and power players in the venture capital market, how they looked at things and it's there's not a lot of emotion, it's numbers on paper and it's how do we make, how do we do this to this group of businesses, and then how do we sell it and make money. All about the return on investment, right. Chris: Exactly so. It's a. Jerry: It's very cutthroat which some businesses are, some aren't, but it was a great learning experience. I'd like to say I probably learned more in that two to three years Dealing with those big VC firms and listening to those meetings and kind of running point on due diligence than I probably learned in any other aspect of my life. Now, that's so, but that's so. Chris: Let's turn it back a little bit to app properties specifically. I know you've recently launched a new sports and entertainment division Tell us about that. What's going on behind that and what are you trying to accomplish so in the real estate brokerage? Jerry: world. There's different ways to market yourself right, and a lot of that boils down to your experience of your agent portfolio, and so some real estate brokerages are residential, some may just be commercial, but on our side we have, we've accumulated some agents that allowed us to create these divisions because of their experience levels. So land and ranch is one division, and then sports and entertainment is another division, and basically there's some criteria that we've put in place before an agent can say they're part of that team or that division dealing with professional athletes or celebrities on a number of occasions, some of the qualifications, but essentially, when somebody's moving like a professional athlete or a celebrity, there's a lot of sensitivity to that, or there's a lot of urgency, there's a lot more moving pieces, and so that specific division has agents who are, you know, experts in helping that transaction or that client Get from point A to B and solve a lot of problems along the way how to move their cars, how to move their kids into new schools, you know everything that comes along with kind of that type of transaction, as opposed to someone just buying a house and selling a house. So are we going to see? Chris: Super Bowl ads anytime soon, if I can at homecom I could afford it. Jerry: No, that's the goal is. We're really good because of how the clients affiliate network has come into play for us. I don't know if we mentioned this before the call or on the call, but you know our corporate partner ended up buying the Christie's affiliate network, which is a network of independently owned brokerages around the world. I think we have 900 offices in 54 countries, about 35,000 agents, and the reason Christie's the auction house, christie's the family who's owned that brand and that company for two hundred years. They sold the app properties because of the technology and we've been for two years bringing a worldwide global powerhouse network together into the technology to share referrals and data and information, and so that's been one of the one of the real keys to some credibility for us. Very cool. Chris: I think you just launched something else, maybe in the last week. Developer services Tell us about that. Jerry: So so again, we all know there's developers out here but we're not sure there's developers out here building multifamily building, you know, developing neighborhoods, multi-use, and so for a brokerage our size to have the ability to provide those services was kind of hard. So we ended up meeting a group of people out of Austin who came from Storybill and for those listeners who've heard about Storybill, that's a multi-billion dollar developer who went, ran out of money last summer. But we ended up negotiating their entire creative team to come over to Christie, our Christie's, and create this development services division. So starting with the chief marketing officer all the way down to their website development team, their on-site sales, so we've got a team of about 12 of superstars and they really fell in love with the Christie's brand to kind of move from Storybill into our umbrella, to kind of push those services out. So that'll be a huge win for us. Chris: So, as you sit there running all this, what is it that kind of triggers for you that this is an opportunity that makes sense, because not everybody can see that, and so there are things you're looking for. How do you go about making that decision and taking on the risk? Jerry: Yeah, so risk is a little less scary in our business because most everybody who works for our brokerage is a 1099 contractor. So we really have a pretty lean machine when it comes to we're running this right now with about seven full-time employees, three offices, so you got overhead from an office space perspective, but really you're kind of it's kind of a lean business model, which is one of the things that attracted me to it. And then obviously you have to have the people to be able to promote these different levels of services. So I think the thing that's been lucky for us is one our relationship and our network in Dallas to help get it started. And then obviously the people we've been able to add at such a young infancy of a company have given us the credibility and the numbers are reflecting that. Chris: Gotcha. So before I don't want to wrap this up without talking a little bit just about you and your leadership style, let's talk. You know, how would you describe your leadership style? How do you think that's evolved over time based on the scars and other lessons learned? Jerry: You know you work at a law firm, so you know running a law firm is you got a lot of smart people, a lot of egos, a lot of staff, a lot of overhead, and so I learned a lot about you know the operational side of a business in that seat. And then I think my ownership style has probably changed completely since I left the law firm. I'm a lot more interested in the well-being of my employees, a lot more sensitive to the culture. I think. When you talk about people coming to work and going home, in my mindset now I want that to be a great experience. I kind of use the word experience a lot in the last couple of years for some reason, and I think it's just. My evolution is like everything in our lives is an experience and you can make it a good one or you can make it a bad one, and so I think my leadership style is I want every experience to be a good one. At the best I can make it. Obviously you're going to have your headaches and your issues pop up, but we have the music on in our offices every day. We have happy hours on Thursdays. We built bars in both of our offices in Dallas and Frisco, and then we're putting one in our location in Austin so that we can have happy hours with our agents and our clients and our prospects. We hold a lot of events and I think our interaction with the community and the philanthropic stuff that we're doing is really cool. So I think where I've gotten is you know I'm 54 now and you know I started that law firm at 28 and I had a whole different picture in my mind at 28, right Till 35, of what life was going to be for me, and now I'm kind of trying to enjoy it a lot more. Chris: I love that man. Happy for you. You know clearly you're on the right track and couldn't agree more about how important culture is to any company. And I think I've said similar to you. I think life is about experiences. I think they're only really down to learning experiences good experiences and learning experiences as though, rather than bad, just learn from them and don't repeat them. Jerry: Yeah exactly right. Chris: So let's turn a little bit on the personal side of things and not as serious. What was your first job? Jerry: First job, I was a clerk in a law firm. Chris: Okay. Jerry: I was working in law school. Okay, my first job in high school. Like most of us, I grew up in Missouri in a small town. I had a yard. You know service with my best friend and we had our lawn mowers in the back of his truck and we mowed yards. So that was probably my first experience as a having a job. There you go, and first is an entrepreneur was leaving a 250 person firm to start a law firm with two other guys and being 28 years old and that was pretty exciting. We had metal chairs and you know fold up conference room table and laid out of the movie. Chris: Love it. Well, I can relate to the a little bit to that, but definitely relate to the mowing yards. That's what buddy of mine and I did in high school. So you know good money then I guess. Okay, personal preference, tex-mex or barbecue? Well, that's a tough one Probably barbecue. All right. And if you could, take a 30 day sabbatical. Where would you go? What would you do? Jerry: You know, this is my two sons who are a senior and sophomore at University of Texas right now. They called a year ago about this time and said, dad, we're going to go to Japan. And I was like, okay, and they got on a plane, just the two of them went to Japan for three weeks and after hearing that I kind of want to do that. Chris: How cool is that. The two of us went and did it on their own. Jerry: They did it on their own, traveled around on trains and backpack and love it. They're experienced when they told the stories and went through the pictures. I mean it's just a really cool culture. I'd like to go experience that. Chris: Okay, jerry, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to come on. It's hard to believe that you know I don't. I might add the numbers we met at SMU and, as undergraduates, went to law school together, so we had a lot of years together. So it's great to see where you are today and what you're doing. So proud of you. Jerry: Man. I appreciate that. And the same back at you. I followed you your whole career and super, super proud of you. What kind of legal person you are and lawyer and leader and everything you're about. So appreciate having me on and proud of you too, my man. Chris: All right, we'll do it again. We'll find a reason to do it again sometime soon. Awesome Sounds good. Special Guest: Jerry Mooty.

We talk about building a brand all the time, but what can you do with that brand? Today we are talking about turning that brand into an empire.ResourceHenry Street CreativeReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramWhat is up? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Another episode of the Real Estate Marketing Dude podcast, and welcome to 2024, folks. Since all it's been ten years, especially this year, this podcast has been on the ground and I'm going to start this year off where I started off 14 or ten fucking years ago in 2014. And back then we were talking about the same damn thing that we're still talking about today.00:04:40:08 - 00:04:55:20UnknownBut back then people thought I was crazy because they're like, Who the fuck are you? And more importantly, what the hell is a personal brand? I'm a real estate salesperson. I don't need a brand. My brokers, my brand, women screaming the saying. So I think it's a very appropriate episode because your personal brand has never been more important.00:04:55:20 - 00:05:11:16UnknownBecause no one hires your broker, they hire you. You're the individual that they work with, and you're the person that they remember of. And the goal here is that when I time the word real estate is thought about how many people really associate your name with that, that's what we're talking about with personal branding. So I want to start the year off with a bang.00:05:11:16 - 00:05:27:19UnknownWe brought on one of the most experts in this field. His name is Mr. Tyler Mount, and we're going to talk personal branding and how you can build an empire with it. Tyler What's up, man? I want you to run a little bit about who you are, where are you from, and what the fuck do you do? Well, look, thanks for having me.00:05:27:19 - 00:05:52:07UnknownI love the energy. You know, I've worked in digital marketing, specifically real estate. Digital marketing. For the better part of 15 years, I've been fortunate enough to work with nearly a thousand clients in 16 countries. I've represented over $7 billion in real estate developments across the nation. And you know what I have found working with whether it's the CEO of T-Mobile, the the president of the United States, the CEO of Twitter, now known as X ray.00:05:52:09 - 00:06:09:18UnknownYou know, what I've learned is the power of personal brand. I want to just double down on what you started with today. No one cares what you're talking brokerage, right? The idea that someone is hiring you because you're a Keller. Keller Williams is a misnomer, right? Because you can write a contract doesn't make you special. An idiot out of high school could do that.00:06:09:22 - 00:06:29:14UnknownWhat actually makes you special and what makes you important is the personal side humanity of you, and how we can really start to encapsulate that in your brand and get people to know I can trust you in order to transact with you. That's right. No one remembers what you did there. Remember how you do it. No one remembers what you said or how he said.00:06:29:16 - 00:06:42:11UnknownSo let's dig deeper because a lot of people sort of I feel like people understand like what a brand is, but they don't like they hear this term. It's almost like a buzzword because it is a little bit complicated. Like and here's let's just break it down to basics here. Here's where I see I will get your opinion.00:06:42:11 - 00:07:02:13UnknownSeriously, most people, when they think of their personal brand, they don't in that they don't visualize their individualism. I guess, if you want to say as a brand, because they're like, I'm a dad, I'm a father, I'm stressed out human being and I'm just a person in the rat race here. How the hell am I? BRAND And you have to realize, folks, is that you are the brand.00:07:02:13 - 00:07:18:20UnknownYour brand is your persona. It's how many people think or associate you with anything else that it stands for. And we don't look at ourselves as a business. We look at ourselves as a human. And that's a number one problem in the whole business. Look at Josh Altman, for example. We think Josh Altman actually goes on a listing presentation or he just fucking shows up and tells them where to sign.00:07:19:00 - 00:07:41:22UnknownThat's having a brand now. Josh had whatever Bravo helped build his brand. That's why he is what he is today. But it took that content creation that that media, that attention, that recognition to give him that status today. So when you walk into a room, you know how big your brand is because basically I look at it as like you're not going get as many questions.00:07:41:24 - 00:07:56:04UnknownThen if you if you have a brand is if not, people start to look up to you as the expert. Another way to look at it is like I use this example when we use it for video clients, I'll be like, I'm not a chef, but I guarantee you if I shot seven videos and put them all in front of you, you would think I was.00:07:56:06 - 00:08:13:11UnknownThat's the power of a brand, right? So what we're talking about here, guys, is how do you create that? How do you create that persona that that, that, that thing, that buzz that everyone's like, that's that real estate guy or that's that letter or That's that one guy or That's that guy. That's that guy. What makes that happen is working that.00:08:13:13 - 00:08:31:23UnknownYeah. And you know, I just want to echo what you said because it's it's exactly the basis of my philosophy. I always start with reminding people that user perception is truth. I didn't say factually accurate to your point about saying I could convince people I'm a chef. That's certainly the case. And that's really, really good news for some.00:08:31:23 - 00:08:53:13UnknownI work with a lot of immature real estate agents and they're concerned about their production history. I don't care. Let's create the most epic digital epicenter so that people assume you're the best, right? The second thing I want to stress is I work with a lot of legacy providers, people who are in the top 1% of providers in their market and their marketing ecosystem is shit, but they're still in the top 5% and they think that's fine.00:08:53:13 - 00:09:15:24UnknownThe reality is they could never quantify the amount of people who hit the floor. That wouldn't have hit the floor if they had a fucking website or a social media that didn't look at the kindergartner do it, did it? You know, I will tell you, I represent Ryan Sarhan. The most followed real estate brand on earth. And what we focus on there is really granularly focusing on consistent content.00:09:15:24 - 00:09:35:23UnknownHow do we remain top of mind and how do we make Ryan appear to be the best in the world? Not only do I think he's the best in the world, but his media and his marketing efforts absolutely reflect that. That's why he has literally the most expensive single family listing in the country right now, right here in New York City.00:09:36:00 - 00:09:53:01UnknownWell said. Let's talk about that, because like Ryan, you see him, you're like, this guy just oozes luxury. It's in the clothes he wears. It's in the watch he wears. It's the way he carries himself. You know what I mean? And like people at the end of the day, if the camera's on or off, is Ryan still not the same person?00:09:53:03 - 00:10:18:08Unknown100%. What I will tell you is we always do a master class in authenticity. Ryan in front of the camera and behind the camera is the same person. He's gracious, he's kind, he's wildly intelligent. He is that experienced salesperson, but he's also funny and irreverent and kooky and all things that he is in front of the camera. We focus on that authenticity to build this most valued brand, and you build a large brand without authenticity.00:10:18:10 - 00:10:38:12UnknownAbsolutely not. It's absolutely impossible. You can build a brand, don't get me wrong, but can you really build the brand that you could have if you followed your authentic truth? No. And the reason is quite simple because no matter who you are, whether you're a man and women hate working with you or you're maybe a woman and men hate working with you, you're a Democrat or Republican.00:10:38:12 - 00:10:56:19UnknownPro-Choice, pro-life, rich, poor, decent fucking matter. There are people on earth who are not going to want to work with you because of who you are. So if you're trying to be someone else, you're already ostracizing a certain group of people and you're never going to be as good acting like Ryan or acting like me or acting like you as we are authentically being ourselves.00:10:57:00 - 00:11:26:22UnknownSo you might as well authentically own who you are and the niche the following that enjoys your authentic truth will follow, will gravitate. And that's how you build your niche and how you build. But but wait. I'm going to turn off some people in that process, wouldn't I? Then wouldn't that be bad for business? Well, of course you're going to turn off people, but like I said, if me being gay turns off people, me being straight turns off gay people who only want to work with the gay strategist, like ultimately, no matter who I am, no matter what I do, you were ostracized.00:11:26:22 - 00:11:46:07UnknownAnd that is the biggest question I get. People are like, exactly like you said, well, I'm a really fucking nervous. What if me being, I don't know, a veteran or devout Christian or Muslim or whatever, I am ostracized as people. The answer is it will. But if we don't focus on our authentic truth, we're just going to be inauthentic and still ostracize people for a different reason.00:11:46:08 - 00:12:00:16UnknownThat's what we focus on. You're not supposed to relate with everybody. Guys like you're not wired that way, and that's not the way God made us. Like you're supposed to piss off some people. I would actually like telling people like, Hey, like if you're branding doesn't like piss some people off, that you're not you to do a good job in the first place.00:12:00:16 - 00:12:18:12UnknownLike look at my podcast as real estate marketing dude. And there's so many people have told me over the years, that's so unprofessional, so unprofessional. Guess what? Hey guys, if you're still saying that, fuck off. You know, I got 101.5 million downloads on this podcast just being authentic, right? And it's because it's just the way I talk. I'm from Chicago.00:12:18:12 - 00:12:37:09UnknownThis is how I talk. Whether the camera's on or where the camera's off. I have a potty mouth, but I don't hold back. I cleaned it up over the years quite a bit. As my brand has changed. However, overall, I'm still fucking dude at the end of the day. And those of you who listen to this podcast is a reason why you listen to this and you've been coming back and writing in all these reviews is because you follow the authenticity of it.00:12:37:11 - 00:12:50:19UnknownBut trust me, there are just as many of you who send me hate mail as there are that send compliments. Like, as a matter of fact, I have a guy booked a show with just yesterday and these are the messages I like. I like seeing. And this is when, you know, the branding is on this guy. This guy's from Nebraska.00:12:50:21 - 00:13:17:07UnknownHe's Christian, big Christian. I've seen a lot of my content lately and he and he writes me, you guys did this month and he writes he goes, Dude, I know you don't know who I am. I'd love to have a show up show up on your podcast. But I mean, listen, you for the last few years and I started doing videos because of what you said and because of that, my business has grown and I never would have thought some fucking guy from some podcasts where is in to show me this way Now I'm having him on the show to interview him, but each one of them says the same fucking thing.00:13:17:07 - 00:13:34:22UnknownThey say, Thanks for letting me just be me. Thanks for letting me. It's just it's usually somewhere around those lines. And then I know why people think so hard about this stuff because we don't overthink a conversation we're having with someone. John Doe down the street right? Yeah, but never it like. I'm mean, you are just. Just. Matt, have we ever met before?00:13:34:24 - 00:13:49:19UnknownNo, we haven't. I can be honest. I can guarantee you that you and I can talk for fucking 4 hours just on this topic, just going back and forth. But the same way we're talking with the record on is the same way we would talk in a diner or a restaurant. And that's the problem I think people have.00:13:49:19 - 00:14:05:24UnknownIt's like they overthink this thing. How do you help them overcome that? Well, look, you know, to your point, one of my favorite phrases is haters make you famous. Like, truthfully, they're all haters. That I. I put that on a t shirt. Absolutely. I mean, I should I should trademark it and we can split the profits. I love it.00:14:06:04 - 00:14:31:17UnknownYou know. You know, ultimately what I would focus on is at the beginning of my career, I was the person who wasn't authentic. Right? I wanted to appease everyone. Now, when I keynote, I strike out the line in the writer that says, I can't curse because unfortunately, I'm not here to curse. I'm just authentic. That's Homeland. And and ultimately, what I will remind everyone is to answer your question, how do we overcome this issue?00:14:31:22 - 00:14:48:24UnknownWell, we first have to test it out. We have to be bold enough to have the balls to do it. And then we'll start realizing and I mean this with the most respect that no one fucking cares about you right now. There are people in your life care about you. Your mom loves you. Probably your dad probably loves you, maybe not.00:14:48:24 - 00:15:06:02UnknownI don't know. The moral of the story is no one is at home thinking about you like I would wish. Tonight. You go to bed, put your head on the pillow, and really think about me for 45 minutes. You might think about me tomorrow. And the editor for this podcast asked a question about the episode. But outside of that, you're not going to look.00:15:06:02 - 00:15:26:07UnknownTyler had a potty mouth of Tyler's gay or what is that like? No one cares. And that's what I remind people. And that's what you remind people of even in their social content. I have people who are like, Well, I didn't post anything this month because I just like completely frozen because of my hair. I'm like, the average person is spending less than one fucking seconds on your Instagram.00:15:26:07 - 00:15:43:23UnknownLiterally. That's not an exaggeration. We're talking about point seven, 5 seconds. The idea that they're thinking about you 5 seconds later after they've looked at seven other pieces of content, much less 5 hours, much less five days is a misnomer and gives yourself a far more value in their life than you think. But also that should be the best news to hear.00:15:44:01 - 00:16:09:19UnknownWe really, unless we do something so polarizing, we awful people don't remember. And so the goal is to remind them consistently you're alive, well, and able to transact. And that's how we focus on our brand through consistency. Love it, guys. AKA, you're not that important. my God. I guess I'm not that important at all. Like, here. Let's just give you guys an exercise.00:16:09:19 - 00:16:32:06UnknownAnd I honestly do this exercise literally, that's going to take you a whole 10 seconds. Do you remember the context of one video you saw yesterday on social media? I mean, it's physically impossible. Yeah, I don't I've seen like, which one? Like then I think about like, like I saw like 100 videos on social media. The last thing the last thing I'm thinking about is some dude's hair out of place or like, some dude's, like, shirt and tie or some guy said a word I don't agree with.00:16:32:06 - 00:16:52:20UnknownLike, who cares? Yeah, well, well said. Because what you also see is, like, I also feel too like there's a lot of people that do it with video. It's perfect. Like we do so many videos like and now we're doing all attorneys on videos and maybe doing real estate videos for agents. But it's funny because you see an agent side and you see an attorney side.00:16:52:20 - 00:17:12:24UnknownThey're both professionals, but they both ultimately work for themselves. But from a business perspective, in creating content, they're identical. Everyone had to have the exact same issues and they're always more like, my God, I'm so worried about what I say. It's like, Dude, it doesn't matter. Talk to me about consistency though, because that is the key to this, is that some of your content will fall on deaf ears or just be horrible.00:17:12:24 - 00:17:37:20UnknownYou're going to regret you ever created it, right? That's part of the game, isn't it? Yeah, absolutely. If we're not consistent, you know, consistency is it's twofold, right? Consistency not only positively influences the algorithm that improves our likelihood of being served to like minded content creators, But most importantly, it allows us to buy more lottery tickets. Right? We can't win the lottery and go viral unless we're playing it.00:17:37:20 - 00:17:53:12UnknownWe are more likely to win the lottery if we buy multiple tickets. Right. And I will tell you the few things that I've done in my personal career that have gone viral have never been the things that I thought would. They're the shitty pieces of content. I didn't think about posting the ones that they spent exorbitant amounts of time, energy and resources on.00:17:53:16 - 00:18:25:17UnknownOftentimes not all the time, but oftentimes fall on deaf ears. And it really is half science, half pseudoscience and chance and what resonates and what is relatable to audiences. So what I always focus on is consistency. If we are consistently posting, let's say, seven times a week across all of these platforms, not only even if these don't perform as well as we want them to compounded, we're serving an exorbitantly higher rate of impressions and engagements over the month, which compounds over years, which compounds over decades, and that's how we grow the personal brand.00:18:25:22 - 00:18:42:09UnknownI want people to know about me before I even get on the call. I want them to be excited to talk to me before they get on the call. I want someone to understand who I am in the context of who I am and the energy I bring before I get on the call. And honestly, that saves me so much time because if you see my content, you're like too much energy to go to X, Y, and Z.00:18:42:12 - 00:18:57:00UnknownThen guess what? You're never booking that call. This gives me 30 minutes of my life to talk to someone who I'm actually going to be able to book. Yeah, I mean, you're exactly right. It's almost like you call out your people ahead of time. And because people aren't going to like, Have you ever put it this way, guys?00:18:57:00 - 00:19:14:08UnknownLike, have you ever, like, just met somebody or just like, I don't care what the hell they say. I'm just not going to get along with them, Right? You know what I mean? And it's just it's just normal that it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. That's fine when you have your content out. So but the content really works in twofold full, doesn't it?00:19:14:08 - 00:19:31:14UnknownBecause one is the creating to stay consistent. But and that usually what happens in practice is like when someone gets you get on someone's radar, when you really have an active buyer or seller in your world or for me, a branding or video client for you saying whatever that person fucking stalks you before they reach out to you.00:19:31:14 - 00:19:50:00UnknownRight? And this is also where people shortchange the amount of content creation and the multipurpose in of it over time is because, like, let's just say I'm going to hire Tyler, I want to hire Henry Street to do my branding and story, right? sure. And I'm sure this isn't a cheap process. Like, I'm trying to sell your shit right here, but I'm sure it's a few thousand bucks to say that.00:19:50:00 - 00:20:05:07UnknownTo say that, to say the name just to start. Right. I'm sure there's a couple thousand bucks a month. Great. If I really dig into one of your pieces of context, I'm on your Web site right now. I have to get along with you first before I actually schedule or book that call. So and it happens nine times.00:20:05:07 - 00:20:22:06UnknownLike I'm going to go to your Instagram page or Facebook page. I mean, look at all the rails you've created and then I'm going to get hooked. And people do that with this podcast all the time that I just been watching your podcast, bro. Like it was fucking amazing. Like, great, great. Why did you binge watch it? Because you're in a buying decision, right?00:20:22:06 - 00:20:43:21UnknownAnd the content, it has to be multipurpose. So like, I'll see people to I want to get your opinion on this because now we have a lot of video images, what kind of content you create, right? Just on social. But I believe that you should create multipurpose across all your channels nonstop. And you have to be everywhere you're at because you never know where that person is going to come from.00:20:43:23 - 00:21:02:04UnknownYou don't know where the next deal is going to come from. But that little split second of your face, meeting them on a news feed or something like that literally, literally, is the difference between getting a call and not nine times out of ten? Yeah, absolutely. I always say we can't control the way people enter our ecosystem. We can only control the narrative once they're there.00:21:02:09 - 00:21:35:24UnknownThe first thing I do with a new client is really focus on user perception. So I will listen to them talk about X, Y, and Z and how great they are, and I'll go, Great, all of that's fine. You're never going to get that 15 minutes with the client. Let's open an incognito browser, let's Google you. And nine times out of ten, even if you are the most reputable agent, what I find is an outdated LinkedIn because that's highly injectable, followed by maybe Coldwell banker's template they set up for you, which looks like shit, and then maybe a Zillow profile and maybe an air profile.00:21:36:05 - 00:21:53:13UnknownAnd I got the my my broker has me a page on my on their website. I'm there. Yeah. But let me tell you what is a broker's intention. They don't care if you sell. They care if one of their people sells everything. It's brokerage level marketing. It doesn't differentiate you. And so our job is to control the narrative.00:21:53:17 - 00:22:10:12UnknownWhat I want to focus on, if people Google you, they're at least going to hit the first three links bare minimum. So literally yesterday I was working with a top agent and she's like, I don't really use LinkedIn. It's not that important. I said, Let's Google you as the first fucking link. Literally, it had. I'm not kidding.00:22:10:14 - 00:22:36:05UnknownThe most recent experience was her working at a fucking grocery store. We're like a spring for. Yeah, absolutely. Thank God. By the way, social media wasn't out when I was in. I mean, think the Lord I would have never been hired. But what I will tell you is, like, that is what matters. Yeah, I. If I had never transacted in my life and I started today, I bet I could get listings over some of these other premium agents because I would have the best fucking ecosystem.00:22:36:09 - 00:22:53:04UnknownAnd that's what we work on here at Henry Street and through my consultancy. That's what we want to focus on how we can control that narrative. And your point is exactly right. The Yeah, because it's not that the best agent always gets hired, it's the one they feel most comfortable with, but the one they feel most comfortable with is typically the one they meet over 80% of the time first.00:22:53:05 - 00:23:09:15UnknownThat's why attention so important, guys. And when the branding comes in because you're already like playing catch up if, if you're not thought of first just when you're ecosystem as Tyler is putting it here doesn't associate your name with real estate and it's really not that fucking hard. Like, I never understood why the average agent only does six sides a year.00:23:09:15 - 00:23:32:14UnknownIt's like impossible. It literally is impossible If you're doing if you're doing less than 15 deals a year, you are ghost like like if you have a thousand friends on social media numbers, just a thousand friends just on Facebook or Instagram, just a thousand people make it 500. I don't care. 500 people know who you are. Out of those 500 people, 10 to 15% of them are moving and all 500 of them have a referral for you guys.00:23:32:16 - 00:23:57:12UnknownSo like when you build a big personal brand, you make yourself more referable, more marketable, but also more approachable. And a lot of the one of the biggest questions I get on branding is and you'll get I sure you get this all the time of all your answers. How do you measure the success of this? Because when you're creating a personal brand and content, it's not like running ads where I could attribute a direct action to a direct result for a cost for costs, banner or result generated, right?00:23:57:12 - 00:24:18:06UnknownSo if I'm signing up for Zillow to put in context, everyone understands I'm signing up for Zillow, I'm spending four or five grand a month, I'm either making a positive role on that or I'm not. It's very easy to determine. Now, it's not that quite easy in building a personal brand in content creation. That's the number one reason why I think people don't go all in on it and why they hesitate so much because doesn't happen overnight.00:24:18:12 - 00:24:46:22UnknownSo how do you answer that? Absolutely. Because the ROI is so attributable and trackable for ads. The issue whenever we talk about environmental branding or a personal brand a.k.a a billboard or your social content, it's there are a few ways, but it's very difficult to track this. What I will tell you is I know personal brand works. I know personal brand works because my clients on average see 50 to 70% increase in year over year and the majority of people talk to these people and say, my God, I see you everywhere.00:24:47:01 - 00:25:09:18UnknownIs that true? Absolutely not. They just get served in that same person's algorithm over and over because they keep can they keep consuming the content and not following them? What we want to focus on is what we call an omni channel approach, not just social, but we want newsletter, we want mailers, we want personal handwritten cards, we want cold calling, we want environmental branding, we want paid advertisements, we want press, earned media.00:25:09:24 - 00:25:42:06UnknownAll of these things combined create a really fantastic epic ecosystem. And the good thing is, yeah, it requires some time. It's not that expensive, but ultimately all of my clients are ROI positive. I wouldn't have a business if they weren't. We show proof, you know, year over year and our numbers and that's how I prove it out. But if you're looking to develop your personal brand in 30 days and show ROI by any agency or or consultant who tells you that's possible is lying to you, it takes a year.00:25:42:08 - 00:26:01:01UnknownAre minimal to really start seeing the year over year results. Yeah. And if and if you do everything on video that might even that might go faster. That could happen if you're doing like really good in videos and amplifier to personal branding guys and nowadays it's the only thing. But you know just a few years ago my friend was on videos very easy to build a brand.00:26:01:03 - 00:26:19:12UnknownAll you did was get on camera, even if you're terrible now you got to be a little bit more strategic. No? Yeah, I agree with that. 6 to 12 months minimum. Look at it like I can I compare. It's like working out like, like right now, like every January four. So half the country's in the gym. Give it two more weeks and then only a quarter of them will be left.00:26:19:14 - 00:26:38:03UnknownBut if I want to work out, get in shape. I'm not going get a six pack overnight. I'm going to take like months to get there and then until I get the six pack, then I get the date right. You have to build it and then it'll happen. But I have yet to see. I'm curious, in your experience, have you ever seen anybody?00:26:38:05 - 00:27:04:00UnknownI'm talking about anybody go all in on their personal brand and like whether they're committing to three or four videos a month, whatever it is, have you ever seen anyone not make it? You're going to be honest, this isn't me pushing an agenda in my career. If someone actually shows up and does the work, that's a caveat. If they show up and they do the work, I have never ever in my career having coached almost a thousand people ever seen it not work.00:27:04:02 - 00:27:20:05UnknownAnd that is why I lead a personal brand. And it's funny, you know, you and I are I'm learning the same person because that is my number one example. I guess it's like going to the gym. You don't want to do it the next day because you're on a six pack right now. I haven't used the date example, so I'm going to steal that.00:27:20:08 - 00:27:37:15UnknownBut it's like we have to go to the gym six months to get a six pack, right? And then when you have the six pack, you love going to the gym because you look fucking hot, right? When you're fat sock walking and waddling on the treadmill. Right. You want to get out of there, right? I you know, on a personal note, I wasn't I was a long distance runner.00:27:37:18 - 00:27:58:11UnknownI then, for medical reasons, wasn't allowed to run and I was just cleared to run again after five years. I am so frustrated in the gym because I can't even run a fucking mile without dying. And so I have to remember I'm not going to run my marathon pace or my half marathon pace for a year, right? I have to show up every single day to get there.00:27:58:11 - 00:28:13:03UnknownAnd that's what I remind people about in terms of personal brand. Yeah. Tyler Systems, I want you guys to take a note of is that this isn't just social media like you have to be everywhere all the time in today's world. Really easy to make that happen. And it's not very expensive to do so either, like people are.00:28:13:05 - 00:28:30:22UnknownIt's crazy. I was doing an article about just like how to compete, how brokerages can compete against mega publicly traded companies. You can do it very easily. It's not hard. You have the same tricks they do. But the trend, though, and this is just for any brokerages, is gone to personal brand. So I've seen a Facebook guy that I'm good friends with.00:28:30:22 - 00:28:47:10UnknownHe made a post the other day. Here's your opinion on it. And he basically says and to summarize it, he's like, look, any small business now has a spokesperson. So either you're going to become your own or you're not. And it's it's so true. It's like everybody has a spokesperson there and even if it's you might have a team.00:28:47:10 - 00:29:07:13UnknownSo what I'm saying is you guys, you guys might have a team. One person on that team needs to create content, has to be the personal branding person, but somebody has a great content. I don't think content creation anymore is optional. Like you have to do it. I don't I don't see a business without someone actively creating content going forward.00:29:07:15 - 00:29:29:04UnknownWhat's your opinion? Yes, I couldn't agree more. Yes, I'm biased, but I don't know a successful brand. And of course someone's going to come out of the woodwork and call me liar and tell me this one random example and I'll still disagree with them. But, you know, the reality is all brands are creating content now. That's why the word influencer is a word.00:29:29:09 - 00:29:53:08UnknownThat's why these brands who don't focus on branding and personal content no longer exist. Right? We've seen a massive migration and, you know, let's see the zeitgeist of media. We first went from print to digital and the companies who resisted it no longer exist. And we're going from profoundly professional digital like TV companies, linear advertising, these type of things.00:29:53:10 - 00:30:13:18UnknownAnd we've transitioned almost entirely really to social and UGC content, right? And if brands don't get behind it, that's fine. Just don't have a brand, don't don't have a company because I think it's that absolutely necessary. Yeah, there's marketing and advertising and there are a few of those. You'll see some of the mega teams that, you know, crush it.00:30:13:18 - 00:30:32:24UnknownThere's a guy individually I could think of. His name is Robert Slack. He's got one the largest teams in the country right now. But and he was he's got a really cool story entered the market like at 70 years of age like he's an old man and he got into this and he just took it over. But he understands how to run a business and he just bought a bunch of leads and he put in systems and his his thing is buying leads like from the portals and whatnot.00:30:32:24 - 00:30:49:20UnknownA lot of it was, I guess, but it's very expensive to do that. Guys like you could buy business or you can attract it and anyone could buy business because in any market, in any advertise, just whoever can whoever has the most amount of money to spend the control or acquire the client is the one who always wins.00:30:49:22 - 00:31:08:07UnknownYeah, very simple. Like if I could spend five grand to acquire clean and pencils and I'm going to do that and I'm going to keep spending more money than my competition, this is all this is. But when you build a brand, those numbers don't fucking matter. Like they really don't matters because there's so many ways that you monetize for it.00:31:08:07 - 00:31:24:00UnknownBut it's going to be very difficult to measure when you know what it's working is like though. When you go to the grocery store or you start getting random DMS and comments and people like, I saw your shit. I watch a video, I got this. hey, I've been watching your content. And that's, that's the first sign that something like that's working.00:31:24:00 - 00:31:41:17UnknownYou guys, for those of you that are on this journey and if you have that, you keep fucking going. You don't start now, you double down. But usually you need those little words of encouragement. It happens to me too. I didn't create videos all year. I'm in a pivot year and I couldn't nail down my branding strategy in my content strategy.00:31:41:17 - 00:31:57:08UnknownAnd I finally did last month. So now I'm ready to start creating content and starting this new business. But you have to be excited about what you're doing too. And that's where I think where it all starts. That's really what you guys like to do is figure out, okay, here's who you are, here's how you create content. Absolutely.00:31:57:08 - 00:32:15:03UnknownIt's the execution area tasks, right? That's what's really, really important here, Right? It's not this ethereal bullshit concept. And this is why I hate marketing conferences. It's like, okay, let's find our inner warrior and pray to an Ethiopian turtle. Right? It's really about how do we actually leave this comfort and execute. And that's what we focus on here.00:32:15:03 - 00:32:33:06UnknownThat's our number one goal. Yeah. So once you know that what you stand for, it's very easy to create content around it. Like suddenly it's just hard to look outside the weeds. And if you're it's very difficult for somebody in their own weeds to do good at their own shit. I'm one of them. That's why companies like yours exist, our dude.00:32:33:06 - 00:32:47:14UnknownSo we're right at this half hour. Mark, We're going to go ahead and get this thing ready to rock. I thought the show is awesome. Let's do a follow up on this now. I have a couple of questions I want to chat with you. Box. We're going to do some business outside of this podcast, but any closing thoughts?00:32:47:16 - 00:33:05:16UnknownYeah, I mean, like, look, my job is to empower other people like you and people listening to live their best life, Right? And that's not an expression. It's I build empires and how can I help build your empire? And I do that obviously, by a philosophy that I like to see is lighting someone else's candle doesn't extinguish my own.00:33:05:21 - 00:33:24:05UnknownYeah, I'm blunt. Yeah, I'm authentic, but at the same time, I authentically and bluntly love helping people because if I can spend 30 minutes with someone and change their life and that's a good 30 minutes spent, even if I made $0 because like you talked about earlier, that will come back to me and dividends because it's how I build my personal brand.00:33:24:10 - 00:33:42:13UnknownSo everyone listening, if you're interested in chatting more about me with your business, I want to give you the opportunity I give everyone.

Of course I would. I would love to chat with you offline about this, but that's my philosophy.00:33:58:08 - 00:34:18:19UnknownTake it or leave that authentically. That's me. Appreciate it, man.

Picton is concerned about what's ahead - with the Government refusing to fund cost increases to the Cook Strait mega-ferries project. KiwiRail says the plan to have two new ferries and bigger, better ports can't go ahead without Government funding. Marlborough Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive, Pete Coldwell, says a number of people moved to the region for ferry-related jobs. "There are obviously just questions over what the situation is, jobs-wise, for the next week, next month and the next year." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In may 2013 British triathlete Sophie Coldwell claimed her first World triathlon championships series gold medal in Yokohama Japan. A year earlier she was part of the English team that took the gold medal at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Sophie was named as the travelling reserve for TeamGB at what became the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games and now has her sights set on Paris 2024. She talks openly about working with sports psychologists following an abusive past relationship and difficulties dealing with missing out on competing at an Olympic Games. After making some adjustments to her training load alongside her coach she's now in a great headspace, which in part has resulted in her recent success. And this is her story. 

According to a recent survey, Coldwell Banker was the most recognizable real estate brand of 2021, with 91% of surveyed consumers correctly identifying the brokerage's logo. How does a business achieve this level of brand recognition? Finding the right Chief Marketing Officer is a good place to start! CMO might be his title, but “brand champion” might be a more appropriate moniker for David Marine, who has worked in the marketing group of the most recognized brand in real estate for more than 20 years. He says that his superpower is storytelling, which has enabled him to reshape the brand's luxury and commercial divisions, create the first real estate video-centric YouTube channel, and even develop what is considered the highest-rated real estate ad of all time. In this episode, David joins us to share some insight into his journey and highlight some of the marketing strategies that made him the CMO he is today. We discuss how marketing in the real estate world has changed pre- and post-pandemic, how David ensures that Coldwell's messaging is consistent across its network of 100,000 agents, and how he and his team are thinking about the technology topic du jour: AI-powered marketing. We also touch on search engine ads, influencer marketing, and so much more, so you won't want to miss this instalment of Clicks 2 Bricks with Coldwell Banker CMO David Marine!

Steve is in Rotherham this week to chat with Ebanie Bridges and her new coach Dave Coldwell. They discuss how their partnership came about and what the first few weeks have been like. Dave also takes back to the days when he trained with Naseem Hamed, what it was like working with Tony Bellew, and his honest and frank thoughts about the current heavyweight division. And the three of them look ahead to the super-fight this weekend in Las Vegas between Errol Spence and Terence Crawford.

You may remember David Sidoni from the 1990s. He was the Pat Sajak of the tween set (were they called 'tweens' back then?). David had a brief but successful career on TV and in music videos, most notably on the sketch comedy show Roundhouse and as host of Wheel 2000, the kids' version of the game show Wheel of Fortune.  But David decided to put his acting career behind him and go into real estate.  "As I got into real estate, everyone said, 'Oh, you're going to be great in real estate (because) you're an actor.' Eh. You're more a stage manager. You put out fires all the time," he said. Nonetheless, David was happy getting chiseled into the 'David' he wanted to become. But after years in the business, he started noticing a trend that unsettled him and he realized he wanted to focus on the parts of the job that he loved. From there he launched his podcast, How to Buy a Home, now in its fourth year. It focuses primarily on first-time homebuyers, a third of the market but a segment that David says most real estate companies ignore.  "Go to all the big ones, I don't care who it is — Keller, eXp, Compass, Coldwell, Sotheby's. It's listings, listings, listings. What other business totally ignores one third of the customer base? It blows me away." I met David not long ago and I am trying on my unicorn horn as one of his referral partners. It seems to fit nicely. More so, I'm happy to have a "guy" on the show with boundless energy and true passion for what he does. I am sure you will feel his energy and joy in this week's episode of Chiseled.

Hungarian athlete Márk Dévay, a former World Aquathlon champion, was also up there, as was WTCS leader heading into today, Vasco Vilaca.   By the end of the swim, things where more of the same at the front, with Dévay keeping things honest as he lead out of the water, with Riddle, Schoeman, Coninx, Vilaca and a number of others close by. Most importantly, Alex Yee and Hayden Wilde, two of the pre-race favourites, were just +0:15 down out of the water and in perfect position.   Further back, Olympic champion Kristian Blummenfelt was just over half a minute behind at the back of the second group, with compatriot Gustav Iden ten seconds further back at +0:47 and Richard Murray of the Netherlands the last out of the water a minute down after Spaniard Mario Mola withdrew.   Bike – Blummenfelt left stranded Out of transition, there was a mad scramble to make the front pack, as two dozen athletes, including Wilde, made it into the front pack, with the second group featuring the likes of Blummenfelt. The chase pack, sensing danger, worked hard over the first lap to close the gap, but was unable to, with the gap then quickly blowing out.   After three laps, the gap was well over half a minute, with Wilde drilling the pace at the front of the lead group, as the chase group struggled to make back any time despite featuring the firepower of the likes of Blummenfelt and Swiss Simon Westermann, who on multiple occasions tried to drag the chasers along.   By halfway, the gap was up to +0:50 with the front pack showing no signs of slowing, as Belgian Martin Van Riel, returning from a long period out with injury, returned to the front of a WTCS bike pack for the first time in close to a year.   Off the bike, the gap back to Blummenfelt and the rest of the chase pack was +1:15, with the front pack, thanks to the hard work of the likes of Van Riel and Wilde, enjoying a comfortable buffer coming into transition.   WTCS Cagliari 2023 Results Saturday May 27 2023 – ELITE MEN 1.5km / 38k / 10k   1.

Beaugrand ran, dived and swam away from the rest in the choppy sea before Maya Kingma and Vittoria Lopes took over, particularly on the second lap.   Lopes was first to hit the timing mat after 1500m in 19:39 while Summer Rappaport, Beaugrand, Kingma and Sophie Coldwell and just about everybody else except Taylor Knibb, were bunched up with her. Potter and Taylor-Brown were 9th and 10th out, but there was really nothing separating them as they all burst into transition.   Bike – All aboard the Knibb train The short transition was executed cleanly and quickly by everyone and a huge bunch left transition. The pace looked to be on from the start, but Knibb overcame a 30-second deficit from the swim and caught them by the third of 10 laps.   She hit the front, blew the pack apart on the fourth lap and it was a rare moment that she wasn't on the front for the rest of the cycle leg. The British trio of Taylor-Brown, Coldwell and Waugh rode in the front group of 11 athletes, but Potter and Beaugrand were dropped.   By the time the leaders hit T2, the group had put 1 min 44 seconds into the chase group, which contained Potter and Beaugrand.   Advertisements Run – GTB takes control The group of 11 leaders were separated by no more than a second coming into transition, but it wasn't long before Taylor-Brown hit the front along with Knibb and Emma Lombardi.   By the third of four laps, Taylor-Brown hit the front and stayed there to cross the line in front to claim another excellent victory in 2022.   She said: “I just tried to run my own race and tried to stay in contact with that bike group. Taylor made it really hard but it worked in our favour because we got a really good gap.   “I forgot how hard she rides, but it's good, she really gets the group going and we're all trying to hang on to her wheel.   “I started speaking to the girls on the first two laps (of the run), ‘lets work together because this could be the podium.'”   On extending her Series lead over Flora Duffy, who wasn't there today, she said: “It's all going to come down to Abu Dhabi now.”   Lombardi was delighted to win silver, her first ever WTCS medal, she said: “I'm really enjoying racing against the best in the world, it's fantastic.”   Beaugrand ran up to eighth place and moved in to third position overall in the Series. Potter finished 10th, which moves her down one place to fourth in the Series.   WTCS Cagliari 2022 Results Saturday October 8 2022 – ELITE WOMEN 1.5km / 38k / 10k   1.

This year, Herring will return to defend her title.   In our preview below you can find everything you need to know, from start times to streaming information, plus a preview of the professional women's field.   Start time and how to watch live The race takes place on Sunday 22 May 2022.   The Pro race will start at 0650 local time (Eastern). That corresponds to 1150 in the UK and 1250 CET.   The race will be shown live, with the event the fourth of 12 IRONMAN 70.3 events to be broadcast in 2023 in a partnership with Outside TV. You will be able to watch for free via web, mobile or connected TV app.   As always, the ever reliable IRONMAN Tracker is the perfect data addition to support your viewing. If you haven't got it on your phone already, where have you been?!   Pro Women In the professional women's field, Canadian Paula Findlay will line up for her third race in a month as she looks to take her first 70.3 win of the season.   Paula Findlay PTO European Open 2023 run [Photo credit PTO / Darren Wheeler] Findlay, currently ranked PTO #4, will be racing off the back of an impressive fifth place finish at the PTO Tour European Open in Ibiza, where she raced strongly from start to finish.   Defending champion Hering will hope for another win in Tennessee, but against a field of this calibre, which has a strength of field rating of 83.37, might struggle, with her best result this season fifth at IRONMAN 70.3 St George.   The winner from that race, Jeanni Metzler, is set to go again after that emotional return to the top of a podium, after a long period when she doubted she would ever race again.   She told us this week: “It's kind of a quick turnaround but I've decided I just want to toe the line again. I haven't raced that much in the past 18 months so it's going to be good practice to just maybe improve some things on a different course and in different conditions. So I'm looking forward to racing again.”   Along with Skye Moench (second) and Danielle Lewis (third), the full St George podium from that North American Championship race will go head-to-head again.   Metzler Moench Lewis IRONMAN 70.3 St George podium 2023 [Photo credit: Jacob Kupferman / Getty Images for IRONMAN] [Photo credit: Jacob Kupferman / Getty Images for IRONMAN] The event could also potentially see the season debut of Sarah True, who as if balancing professional triathlon and family was not enough, is also fitting in a full-time university course!

It can be joyful. It can be heartbreaking. It can be empowering.   Just ask Golden-based lawyer Megan Hottman (aka The Cyclist-Lawyer), who is one of six bicyclists featured in The Engine Inside, the newest cycling film coming out this summer by Anthill Films.   Narrated by Phil Ligget, The Engine Inside shares the stories of bicyclists from all over the globe who reveal the unique power of the bicycle to change lives and build a better world. “I feel incredibly honored to be featured as one of the six people in this film, when I know that Anthill Films had a long list of amazing humans with amazing stories to choose from,” said Hottman.   Hottman is well-known in the cycling community for her dedication to making Colorado a better place for bicyclists. Her tireless work on behalf of all bicyclists has resulted in numerous, and hard-fought positive outcomes for the cycling community.   She notably represented the family of U.S. Masters road race champion (and friend and former teammate) Gwen Inglis who was killed by a driver in 2021 and was awarded an unprecedented $353 million verdict in a civil lawsuit against the driver.   The Engine Inside offers a rare glimpse into how Hottman experiences the world as a bicyclist- both in public and private life.   Specifically, the film captures Hottman at her most vulnerable- at a ghost bike dedication for Inglis shortly after she was struck and killed by a driver. Or, when Hottman herself is hit by a pickup truck driver and suffers serious injuries.   Hottman said, “One part I am happiest about is the inclusion of Gwen's story in my section- and that now she'll be known and honored globally everywhere the film is shown. It's one small way to keep her name and legacy alive and shared.”   “I'm not afraid to show my emotions -on film or off- as we're all in this human experience together and it's hard. To pretend otherwise does our experiences a disservice. I am who I am, real and raw, and at times emotional. I'm glad the film captures that range of emotions not just in my story but in other character stories as well,” she continued.   While a bicycle can have a positive impact on physical and mental health, it can also be utilized as a powerful tool for social change, as Hottman demonstrates.   By deconstructing the lived experiences of bicyclists, The Engine Inside urges audiences to consider what can be accomplished by simply riding a bike. What change can we make every time we get on the saddle?   Transcending geographical borders, economic circumstances, and language barriers, the transformative power of the bicycle to those who use it in their daily lives is inspiring.   “We were looking for really well rounded people that had an amazing story to tell, and that each had a connection to the bicycle from a different perspective,” explained The Engine Inside director Darcy Wittenburg.   “Although there is some overlap with some of them, they each represent some of the major ways bicycles help humanity from mental health to transportation and everything in between,” she continued.   The narratives shared by The Engine Inside are as diverse as its six participants. Their stories confront a culture that revolves around cars, and encompass global issues that range from climate change, more livable cities, socio-economic inequality, and indigenous trauma.   Despite often formidable personal and systematic obstacles to overcome, each bicyclist used the bicycle as a catalyst for hope and agency.   Threading their powerful stories into a cohesive narrative was also a challenge. “There's so many ways to look at this as it was a challenging project all around! Narrowing down the vast world of cycling into an 80-minute film was probably the first and ongoing challenge for us,” said Wittenburg.   “The main motivation was to focus the film on personal stories that many people can relate to. It was a tricky balance keeping the topic of cycling in the background so the characters' connection to cycling could shine through,” she added.   Sponsored by Hottman Law Office, The Engine Inside Golden premiere will take place 5:30 to 8 PM on June 29 at the American Mountaineering Center in Golden. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased here. Proceeds will benefit Bike JeffCo.   “We're really excited to be part of sharing a film that has the potential to change how bicyclists are perceived! The bicycle is truly a vehicle for making change, both in individuals and communities,” said Bike Jeffco Chair, Jan Stevenson.   “From the time you are a new rider, you learn how to be resilient, how to navigate, how to solve problems. You build confidence in your ability to get things done. These stories take that confidence and show how to elevate these abilities to bigger solutions to bigger problems,” she continued.   Stevenson remarked how fitting it was that The Engine Inside's overarching theme intersects with the mission of Bike Jeffco. “We want to share the joy of biking! The shared global stories really highlight the wide range of positive impacts that simply riding a bike and having access to bikes, can bring to a community,” she said. “Biking is fun, exhilarating, and hard work all at once! The sense of freedom and empowerment that comes with the ability to control where and when we go places is huge,” concluded Stevenson.   Bike Jeffco will be holding a Meet and Greet at Colorado Tap House on June 10 from 10 AM to 2 PM.

The platform produces dynamic, individualized run training for better results in less time while being motivational, fun, and easy to use.   RunDot leverages the same core proven optimization technology as TriDot (its sister app for triathletes) and features an athlete community that is as supportive as the training is effective. Touted in publications such as Forbes, Men's Health, Tech Times, Triathlete, LA Weekly, NY Weekly, and Men's Journal, TriDot has long delivered performance improvements that significantly outpace the gains made by other training methods.   “Runners no longer have to rely on static plans, simplistic ‘adaptive' training templates, or someone's personal training philosophy,” says Jeff Booher, CEO and Founder of Predictive Fitness Inc., developer of RunDot. “Our proprietary and one-of-a-kind technologies consider numerous factors such as genetics, environmental conditions, age, and normalized training stress to prescribe optimal training for runners so they can better achieve their health and fitness goals, avoid injuries and break through performance plateaus.”   RunDot can be used with or without a coach, like TriDot, which has attracted hundreds of coaches including some of the most prominent names in the sport of triathlon. Mark Allen, Michellie Jones, Mirinda Carfrae, and Tim O'Donnell are a prestigious group of coaches on the platform with 10 IRONMAN World Championship titles, numerous Hall of Fame honors, and an Olympic Silver medal. RunDot similarly offers coaches the ability to better serve their athletes and their coaching businesses by letting technology do what technology does best – analyze data and optimize training – so that coaches can focus on the human side of coaching and spend more quality time with their athletes.   About RunDot: Run training platform for both athletes and coaches, driven by decades of data and AI to produce better results in less time with fewer injuries. Optimized run training platform powered by the same AI engine as TriDot. Similar features, look and feel, capabilities, and results as TriDot. RunDot can be used with or without a coach. The platform produces optimized run training for better results in less time while being motivational, fun, and easy to use. Unparalleled results for runners and coaches at a price point that fits any budget. Early access – invite your runner friends onto RunDot with your coach-specific URLs.   Are there plans for a swim and bike version of Run and TriDot. Yes, VeloDot and SwimDot are on the product roadmap.   TriDot (and now RunDot) are training platforms that build a training plan and daily workouts using AI and machine learning using your individual experience, training and performance data to optimize your training to have better race results with fewer injuries.   TriDot Sign-Up Link https://app.tridot.com/onboard/sign-up/richsoares RunDot Sign-Up Link https://app.rundot.com/onboard/sign-up/richsoares The RunDot Project Sign-Up Link https://app.rundot.com/onboard/sign-up/richsoares?sub=73&type=53     Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

Ashley Houseman_ Show Notes Authenticity, no doubt, is a transformative life value. But have you ever thought of it as a necessary skill for a real estate agent? Meet Ashley Houseman, the Team Leader at Ohana Homes – Houseman Team Powered by eXp Realty, on the podcast today. After nearly 18 years of crushing it in the real estate game, Ashley attributes a large part of her success to her unique and authentic approach to business. A third-generation realtor, Ashley was pursuing marketing in junior college and was headed to real estate just like her elders did, preparing herself for the greater responsibilities that may come. What she didn't know then was how she would gain a strong liking for her job as she progressed, which has since taken her enormously forward in her career. During her conversation with Bill, Ashley touches on the many significant parts of her personal and professional life, including her Florida life as a mom of three, her serious interest in sports in her earlier days, and the values she abides by for ever-lasting success. She also discusses her experience working with and leaving Coldwell Banker, the nation's largest residential real estate brokerage company, and the lessons the period taught her. Listen in! Success clues: ● Ashley swears by authenticity for success in real estate. In her words, “try to be different, take a different approach to real estate, instead of saying– hey, look at my new listing that hits the market. Find a really cool aspect of it, and highlight that.” It all boils down to uniqueness that stems from authenticity.● Relationship-building is incredibly important in your career, especially in real estate. Ashley makes sure to spend time with her clients and followers, which includes sending birthday emails to every member of her 8000-person sphere!● In today's normalizing markets, finding yourself a good mentor is essential. You've got to find your tribe, find good people who'd help you with the fundamentals and allow you to succeed in your journey.● Make the best use of social media, not just by posting and interacting regularly, but by posting authentic, valuable, and noteworthy content and making sure to use the platforms to connect with your people.

Long-COVID is defined by The National Health Service as having symptoms that develop during or after a COVID infection which continue for more than 12 weeks. This week I interview Marlee Coldwell, RD on how long COVID presents and ways that it can be managed in our patients. Marlee has been working with patients who have complex digestive health issues and food intolerances for the past 5 years. Marlee specializes in providing nutritional support for digestive disorders including IBS, IBD, SIBO, fatty liver disease, and much more. Marlee is the team lead dietitian for Ignite Nutrition, one of Canada's top digestive health nutrition practices. With her specialized knowledge of gastrointestinal health, she also helps to train and support other dietitians to work with those who have unique and complex food intolerances and GI disorders.  In 2019, Marlee also wrote a cookbook called ‘Insulin Resistance Diet for Beginners', which showcases her other great passion, women's health and PCOS management. We talk about: ·      What long COVID is ·      How many people experience it ·      What the symptoms are ·      How we see it influencing our IBS patients and how nutrition can help ·      The influence of COVID on the GI tract ·      The taste and smell changes, how they influence people's nutrition, and if there is anything to help ·      The inflammatory immune-mediated symptoms like rashes, brain fog, joint pain, chronic fatigue, gut pain, and diarrhea ·      Why people have been curious about a low histamine diet when it comes to long COVID ·      The overlap between MCAS and long covid, and why people are being managed like MCAS patients ·      If using a MCAS approach can ´fix´ long COVID Connect with Coldwell on at ignitenutrition.ca on Instagram here @ignite.nutrition.inc

Today with the On The Edge Podcast, we're talking to Rob Coldwell, one of my GoBundance friends who owns a company called Rent Well, which is all about property management. He's evolved it to a fully integrated business and has opened up an investment wing of their own. Today we'll be discussing the process of growing a business and the pros and cons of vertical integration. We also talk about addiction and how it affects a person working in a successful business. WARNING: Discussions including suicide, addiction, and death occur during this conversation. 2:00 - What is a good property management company and what are you doing to run a good scaleable company? 9:00 - You mentioned that you have 4 different offices and it's labor intensive. Where is this labor involved, is it with inspections, or actually fixing things? 14:50 - What does vertical integration mean, and why does it matter? How does it matter in a property management company? 23:40 - Where are you currently operating? 24:00 - Give us an example of something that was exciting to accomplish, one of the benefits of being directly involved with the clients 30:30 - What are some negative things that you have had to deal with, in the same regard. 38:30 - How many people are on your team? 39:30 - We discuss addiction and how Rob decided to join a program to help him escape that situation. 53:50 - You mentioned that success can mask a lot of problems people may have, which include addiction. Popular media has led us to believe that the only addicts out there are low-lifes, or people with no jobs. It's fascinating to hear a story about a successful addict, do you have other stories about this? 1:04:30 - What are some takeaways you have from the book “The Untethered Soul?” 1:13:30 - This is an important story to hear because I feel that many of our listeners feel like the recovery process for you was easy because ‘you already made it' or ‘because you're rich,' some kind of dismissive thought. Do you find trouble getting apathy from other people regarding the situation? 1:20:50 - How much has this journey helped you be more present with the challenges of raising children? 1:26:00 - Meditation and the GoGiver mentality. 1:34:30 - What's your favorite movie and why? This podcast is paid for and brought to you by.... by me, Scott Groves :-) Because I think these kind of long form conversations are valuable, I pay for 100% of the production of this show out of my pocket.
