The leaders at Portland General Electric knew they had a choice: Embrace innovative ideas…or get left behind. They chose the former—and now, PGE is charting a new path for scaled utilities to embrace technology, welcome innovation, and ask hard questions to ensure their customers get energy that's reliable, efficient, and clean, day in and day out. Today on Piloting the Future, hosts Kim Getgen and Lee Krevat get the full rundown on PGE's recent Innovation Impact Report from Larry Bekkedahl, Senior VP of Advanced Energy Delivery at PGE, and Allegra Hodges, Head of Strategic Innovation at PGE. Larry and Allegra explain PGE's efforts to build a stronger grid, how strong process can empower innovation, the best strategies for finding consensus in a crowded tech ecosystem…and, of course, where AI fits into all this. PGE completed the first long-distance transmission of electricity in the US in 1889—and they haven't stopped innovating since. Give this episode a listen to understand how embracing the future became part of a major utility's culture. Want to check out PGE's Innovation Impact Report?

It has the high risk of being misunderstood and overestimated. But honestly, you can't blame it on technology. Often, that's part of the history of large organizations. It's not always the technology, it's the adoption of the technology. And this has a lot to do with maturity of the workforce, maturity of the organization, processes, culture. So you can bring the best technology in the world, but if you don't have fertile ground, if you don't have the right people on the ground that make sure that your workforce understands it and also that your processes are adjusted accordingly, then the technology will fail” (34:05)“My dream is that you don't need me anymore because I'm a transformational leader. And when everybody in this organization breathes data, breathes AI and applies it every single day, then my task is done, then you don't need me anymore. I still have a few days.” (38:00)Mentions: Bring Your Own DocumentsLangdockSnowflake Gary MarcusKoshari RecipeBio: Walid is Chief Data & AI Officer at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, where he leads the company's Data & AI organization, delivering value, governance, architecture, engineering, and operations across the company globally.

So you want to lead your team toward innovation. Does that require that you know where you're going? Not according to Linda Hill.Hill is a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School whose research focuses on leadership and how organizations achieve innovation. When it comes to generating breakthrough ideas, Hill says it's less about a creative vision and more about stepping into the unknown. “Innovation [is] not about an individual coming up with a new idea,” she says. “Instead, innovation is the result of the collaboration of people with diverse expertise and diverse perspectives coming together, being able to collaborate, being able to experiment together and learn.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hill and host Matt Abrahams discuss how leaders can foster cultures and environments where innovation thrives — where teams use communication and collaboration to “co-create the future.”Episode Reference Links:Harvard Business School Profile: Website Linda's books: Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation Being the Boss, with a New Preface: The 3 Imperatives for Becoming a Great Leader Becoming a Manager: How New Managers Master the Challenges of Leadership Linda's article on the value of collaboration & conflict: Collective Genius Communicator Linda admires: Vineet Nayar + Employees First, Customers Second Connect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> thinkfast@stanford.eduEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn Page, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInStanford GSB >>> LinkedIn & TwitterChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Linda Hill, an expert in leadership development and innovation from Harvard Business School.(00:01:10) Leading for Innovation vs. Leading for ChangeFundamental differences between leading for innovation and for change, and the unique challenges required for innovation.(00:02:53) Creating a Culture of InnovationThe essential components of a culture that promotes innovation, with focus on communication and collaboration.(00:06:21) The Role of Shared Values and Purpose in InnovationShared values, and the distinction between vision and purpose within innovative organizations.(00:09:43) Communication's Impact on InnovationHow effective communication facilitates innovation, including strategies for engaging diverse teams and the significance of storytelling.(00:14:30) Conflict and Creativity in Collaborative EnvironmentsThe value of conflict in innovation, and how managing disagreements and diverse viewpoints can lead to more creative solutions.(00:16:06) The Final Three QuestionsLinda Hill shares practices to foster collaboration with others, a communicator she admires, and her ingredients for successful communication.(00:19:54) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

One of the most important aspects of leadership is having a vision for what you want to achieve. It's the vision for a project that will guide your team and inspire them to perform at the top of their game. But how does that change when you need to lead innovation? And how do you navigate the unknowns inherent to pursuing true innovation? Joining us today to unpack this topic and explore key questions of innovation and leadership is Professor Linda Hill from Harvard Business.

Professor Hill also sheds light on her personal practices as a researcher and practitioner of innovation, her process for selecting her co-authors, and why she places such a high value on having a novice perspective.

Jimmy welcomes Marck De Lautour back on the podcast to discuss the last Collective Genius meeting. This quarterly podcast has become a fan favorite (this is why we do it every quarter). The topics discussed are the Golden Rule of Leadership, what are some new strategies that Marck and Jimmy are implementing with their team and how to use stories to help sales.

Brian Pitcher has been in the Real Estate Industry since 2004. Since then, he has sold over 1000 homes in his career as an agent. Flipped over 200 homes as an investor and has accumulated over 120 rental units in Utah and Idaho. Last year he also acquired 3 storage unit complexes with his partners in Montgomery, Alabama, which are roughly 750 units. They also started a new Storage Unit Management Company called OSM Storage Management. We manage our own facilities and for others. We are under contract to buy our 4th facility in July.Brian made a name for himself in the Great Recession by shifting to where the market was going and became one of the top Short Sale Specialists in the country and was a prominent member of the Short Sale Specialist Network. He was also one of the top Short Sale Agents in Keller Williams and was on several speaking/teaching panels during that time, as well as receiving many awards for production. Once he saw that the market was turning around in 2011, he shifted again but this time it was to remodel and flip distressed homes. He was able to ramp up so fast that he was invited to participate in Collective Genius, which is a mastermind of the top real estate investors in the country. He was in that group for 4 years. As the market got saturated with everyone thinking that they were real estate investors, it was time to shift again. This time it wasn't about making a ton of money doing something transactional, it was about creating stability and freedom. It was time to start acquiring doors for cashflow and stability. Brian has a gift for looking at where the market is going and shifting very fast to acquire the knowledge to succeed at a high level in the new market.One event that significantly changed Brian's perspective on life, is that in 2013 he was diagnosed with acromegaly, which is a brain tumor on the pituitary gland. After 2 brain surgeries to remove the tumor, and a jaw surgery to fix the effects of the tumor, he ended up in the ICU at the hospital 3 times. The tumor is now gone and unlikely to come back and he is now on hormone replacement therapy as the pituitary is now nonfunctioning. He is now healthier than most people because he is monitored every 6 months. Through that life changing event Brian made the goal to always live like he only had 1 year left to live, but plan like he will never die.Before his real estate career Brian graduated from Coeur d'Alene High School in North Idaho. He then went to North Idaho College for a year and a half followed by a 2-year Mission for the Mormon Church to Santa Maria, Brazil Mission. He then returned and studied for a year at BYU-Idaho, a year at BYU-Hawaii, then 3 years at the University of Utah ending with a Degree in Spanish. During those years Brian was on Scholarship at all those schools for cheerleading. After College Brian spent 2 years cheering professionally for the Utah Jazz until a shoulder injury in 2005 forced retirement.During the winter months Brian is an avid Snowboarder and for a short time was sponsored by Project 57 Snowboards to represent them at several snowboarding competitions until they went out of business. When the powder isn't fresh at the resort, you will find him in the back country snowmobiling. Brian has a wife and 2 girls that occupy all his spare time. The girls are ages 13 and 15 and love to play sports. They live in Draper, UT and during the winter find themselves on the slopes and in the summer out on the boat or checking out the National Parks or traveling to exotic locations around the world.

Check it out below: Eric Brewer (00:00:00) - Those relationships, whether it was my choice or their choice to leave. When that ended, it exhausted me. I took it personal, which as much as people say business and personal are two separate things. I think that's a myth. I think if they are, you're doing one of those wrong. If your business isn't a little bit personal and your personal doesn't have a little bit of business in it, those two are out of alignment and need to be fixed. Welcome to the How.   Sam Wilson (00:00:26) - To Scale commercial real estate show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Since 2006, Eric Brewer, as a real estate investor, has done over 3000 residential real estate deals in both Pennsylvania and Maryland. Eric, welcome to the show.   Eric Brewer (00:00:50) - Thanks for having me, Sam. I'm excited to be here.   Sam Wilson (00:00:52) - Absolutely. Eric The pleasure is mine. There are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90s or less.   Sam Wilson (00:00:57) - Can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?   Eric Brewer (00:01:01) - Cool. I started in the car business. I cut my teeth in real estate as a cold call refi lender that was cold, calling people in 2005, just trying to get them to refi their existing mortgage. So got sort of indoctrinated in the world of real estate. Um, I am now, um, a true, I believe for the first time ever CEO in charge my organization where I have three words that define my daily roles and responsibilities, and I literally make no decisions in regards to properties or pricing or personnel. With the exception of our executive team, which is comprised of a CLO department business unit leader for every important part of our business. We operate in three states currently opening up a fourth, um, July 1st and I got here through a combination of uninhibited willingness to fail, probably a delusional perspective of what was possible, um, and an exceptional support system of people that kind of peeled me up off my back each time fell down.   Sam Wilson (00:02:16) - And that's really cool. A lot to dive in. There are a lot that we could we could really dive in on in particular, if you. If you don't mind, give me a quick summary. I know you just kind of gave us the high level and most of the time I pick I started on that on those three questions and we take it from there. But I feel like there's more to your story maybe that we should hear. I have no idea. Okay. I don't actually, I have no idea. But give give us give us give us the give us your story if you can, and then we'll kind of take it from there.   Eric Brewer (00:02:49) - So I I'll go back as far as I can remember and feel as relevant. Um, right around my sophomore year in high school, I got off the beaten path, and, um. There was a separation between my mother and father, and I was left basically alone for very. For way too long. And at that point is a 14 or 15 year old, you know, teenager.   Eric Brewer (00:03:17) - I started doing stuff I shouldn't have been doing. I stopped studying. I start partying. And then one thing leads to another and I'm barely limping out of high school with a diploma. Attended summer school, failed summer school, started my senior year as a junior, had to do a bunch of makeup classes, work a part time job because my parents wouldn't pay for me to go to a tutor because they'd already, you know, kind of survive the embarrassment of summer school. So was just kind of a knucklehead. Mean wasn't like robbing banks or jewelry stores or anything, but like, you know, just wasn't doing the right things and, you know, took a senior week after when most seniors go to the beach and sort of party a little bit to celebrate their graduation. That lasted about six months for me versus six days for everybody else that had a college to report to or a meaningful job or some type of responsibility. And six months later, all my friends had gone off to college or had real jobs and had zero direction about where was headed in life and reached out to my dad.   Eric Brewer (00:04:20) - And he's like, Hey, no, this isn't probably what you want to hear, but you should strongly consider the military. My father was a lifelong military retiree in the US Army. His father retired from the Air Force. A lot of my aunts and uncles, we were a military family and I did reluctantly. He was like, Hey, don't think have any other choices. I'd work like a construction job for a week and a half and realized I'd rather punch myself in the face than ever have to do construction again. And, um, got shipped off to basic training. Probably the best thing that best thing and worst thing that ever happened to. I knew for sure it wasn't for me. But at that phase in my life that it kind of smacked the ignorance out of me. And it was a big eye opener. Um, so did my time in the US Army was a 68 Lima, which back then was an avionics communications repairman. Um, had zero interest in it. Don't even remember why I chose it is because it was as far away from battle as possible, and it was probably one of the lower physically demanding jobs in the military and had a good enough test score to qualify.   Eric Brewer (00:05:30) - So anyway, came home from that and zero civilian application for, you know, working on helicopters back home where I'm from in central Pennsylvania. So came back home. I ended up applying for a ad in the newspaper at a car dealership for a lot Porter, which is you organize the cars on the lot, you do some deliveries and was like, Oh my gosh, a Mercedes and a Toyota dealership that was already sort of a car, you know, had a lot of interesting cars and an affinity for for for cars. And I show up, showed up for the interview. And the only real clothing had was my military uniforms, like 37 pairs of jeans, shorts and white tank tops and the double breasted pinstripe suit I wore to my senior prom. So the most appropriate one thought to wear was my double breasted suit. So I'm sitting in this waiting area at the car dealership. And have you ever been to like a the waiting room at the service department? Like it's a high tension environment, right? Like, everybody's sitting there.   Eric Brewer (00:06:34) - They've already been there too long. They're kind of pissed off with the guy because they came in for an oil change and now they got a build at 700 bucks. And I never forget the guy's name was Mark Smalley, and he was the service manager, comes out into this waiting room and he's looking around and he like double takes and looks at me and goes, Eric and I stood up at attention, Go, Yes, sir. And he goes, You wore a double breasted suit to a $7 an hour job and said, Yes, sir. And he goes, You're hired. And my career in the car business started right there at seven bucks an hour. Flash forward eight years. I was the general sales manager had basically held every position in the dealership. And just through sort of determination and a lack of any real other obligations than to try and make money and put food on the table. For myself, I was working anywhere from 65 to 95 hours a week throughout my career there. And after eight years in the automotive business, eventually selling five, 600 cars a month, managing 100 plus employees, I'd gotten burned out.   Eric Brewer (00:07:38) - That business has a way of. Taking its toll on your soul and also was about to have or just had my first child and knew that I couldn't be a good car guy and a good dad at the same time. So chose to go the route of being a good dad. Um, tried to figure out what I was going to do with my life. Didn't know when got out of the car business once again reached out to my dad and he's like, Hey, don't think you're just good at cars, you're good at management, you're good at marketing, you're good at sales. Where could you leverage that experience and not have to work 95 hours a week and had sold some some cars and done some business with real estate agents, appraisers, you know, lenders. And I'd also really valued, um, at that car dealership would say our expertise was finance. We were able to help people with little money down and bad credit, big down payments, very rate conscious people that owed too much on a trade, too many open auto loans.   Eric Brewer (00:08:40) - We were known for being absolute wizards when it came to finance and we could figure out how to get more people in a car than our neighbor. So I'm like, Listen, I want to get into real estate. It's a good, I think, parallel for for my experience that I'll have a short learning curve and want to start in finance. So I went to 3 or 4 local lenders, interviewed their weighed the comp plans, training, all that stuff, and started working with a place called Comfort Home Mortgage. And the way I started was cold calling Internet leads that they got for people that wanted to refi Sota crap ton of loans made a boatload of money and about six months into that my mentor from the car business called me and said, Hey, I'm selling the dealership. He was like 39 years old, nowhere near being ready to to retire. He had a motor that to this day, I've never seen anybody match. He was just always the first guy there, the last to leave. He was just an absolute assassin.   Eric Brewer (00:09:42) - And he invited me to be partners with him and open a real estate investing company. And one phone call and one lunch later. Um, see, our property group was born in 2006 and flash forward today. Now it's been rebranded as Integrity First Property Group. Him and I are still very much friends. I bought him out about four years ago and now we have 40 employees and operate in three states.   Sam Wilson (00:10:08) - Wow, that's crazy, man. You never know when one or what one thing will lead to the next. I mean, that's that's that's an awesome, awesome story how you just you got into it. Um. You know, there's probably a lot of our listeners that can relate to that. I know. I certainly can. That kind of wandering in the beginning where you're like, Oh man, like I have no idea what to do next. And then it's not like you figured it out just by, you know, through through trial and error. And I think you said that there in the beginning, one of the things you said was an uninhibited, I think, willingness to fail.   Sam Wilson (00:10:42) - Yeah. So that's really, really cool. What were some of the things because you also mentioned how you're now the CEO of your company. Right. And you said if something doesn't fit inside of these three words, you mentioned that I never caught what those three words were and then kind of back. Tell the backstory, if you can, of how you came up with those and how you've kind of developed this philosophy of leadership.   Eric Brewer (00:11:07) - Yeah, it's, um, so I'll go back to like, uh, the, there's, there's nothing more I think, different than the style of management and leadership that I experienced in the car business in the late 90. So what is widely become accepted as the right way to lead and manage people now? Like it was literally just like you see in the movies. I mean, it was a bunch of, you know, guys and $1,500 suits, chain smoking cigarettes, cussing like sailors. Operating in the grey, like throwing fistfights in the back lot and people like, I got fired once a month.   Eric Brewer (00:11:53) - Like it was. It was the absolute wild, wild West. Right. And it's it's not what I would describe as servant leadership, Let's just put it that right. And think what we've learned over time is like people just cannot work under those circumstances for an extended period of time. We've realized that people now appreciate probably more so than income the opportunity to have balance or attach purpose to the work that they do. And, you know, so for me, for about ten years, leaving the car business, um, I've managed very much the way that I was managed, right? So remember, um, you know that about every three years, um, I would have almost 100% turnover in my company. And it was like after the third cycle of that, I'm like, This is exhausting, right? And this will make more sense when we get to what my I believe my sole purpose is here. But those relationships, whether it was my choice or their choice to leave, when that ended, it exhausted me.   Eric Brewer (00:12:57) - I took it personal, which as much as people say business and personal or two separate things, I think that's a myth. I think if they are, you're doing one of those wrong. If your business isn't a little bit personal and your personal doesn't have a little bit of business in it, those two are out of alignment and need to be fixed. And I just you know, we were making a lot of money doing a lot of deals, having awards and accolades to be able to show externally, but internally was starting to feel a little bit like I did at the end of the car. Business was starting to feel burned out, but felt it was more my wrongdoing than it was the nature of the business. And I started seeking answers. I got into a mastermind, completely changed my life, was introduced to an implementer, hired them to come implement into my business about seven years ago, completely changed my perspective on leadership management, delegating tasks. The role of a CEO, um, just turned everything upside down.   Eric Brewer (00:14:02) - And over the last 6 to 7 years, I've slowly been unpacking my bad habits and replacing them with more productive leadership habits was probably the world's most toxic manager. And now I think if you were to ask people that know me and spend time with me, I've become, um, someone that a lot of people follow in regards to leadership, which is almost embarrassing to me to think about because of how far I think that I've come and how much I look back on the way that I used to make decisions. And the way that I used to communicate with people and how polar opposite it is from today. It's amazing that didn't just run myself off a bridge seven years ago or have someone run me off the bridge that worked for me because they couldn't stand being around me. But um, yeah, that's iOS and a mastermind completely changed my my personal and professional, um, experience.   Sam Wilson (00:15:02) - Wow, that's that's, that's awesome. What I mean, when you say and maybe you gave some of this color if your leadership style was forged in the car dealership world, you know, if that was if that was where you took your your operating cues from and that carried over into then what you were doing, I can imagine, you know, you already mentioned kind of what some of those toxic habits maybe were, but how did you get plugged into let's talk about the mastermind and then the of course, iOS is is traction, right? Yeah.   Sam Wilson (00:15:35) - Okay, cool. So those of you who are listening, obviously, Gino Wickman, how do you say his name anyway? You can look up the book Traction.   Eric Brewer (00:15:43) - Gino Pacman. Gino, it's.   Sam Wilson (00:15:46) - Wick. Something I can't remember.   Eric Brewer (00:15:47) - Yeah. Wickman You know, Wickman.   Sam Wilson (00:15:49) - Wickman Okay. There you go. Look up that book Traction, because that's what Eric is referring to. Obviously, you've heard that book on this show before, but and everybody said the same thing, like, Hey, this book changed my life, changed the way we do business. How did you pick a mastermind? I mean, this is this is a this is a personal question for me, Eric, because, yeah, something I've thought a lot, a lot about, and I'm like, Oh, I want to do that. But if you've done any cursory searches, there's about 900,000 of them across the United States.   Eric Brewer (00:16:20) - So I had. Really no clue what a mastermind was. I'd never been to one. It was completely off my radar.   Eric Brewer (00:16:29) - And I live in central Pennsylvania. My mentor and business partner at the time, Craig Rich, lived in Baltimore County. So there are only about 40 minutes apart. And part of our natural growth in central Pennsylvania where we started flipping houses was we eventually moved in to Baltimore County and we were talking about think at this phase in our business from really oh five, oh six, all the way up to around 2012, 13, 14, 15, we bought almost all of our inventory off the public auctions, sheriff sales tax sales. What we would constitute is like on market, right, non direct to seller. And as the the real estate market started to recover, as funding became more readily available for investors, that inventory started to become more difficult to acquire. Our margins started to compress and we went through started looking for advice on direct to seller. And we actually we ended up with like two options. One was a franchise, um, without saying exactly, there was really two franchises out there that, you know, 7 to 10 years ago were around and go, Hey, we'll do direct the seller for you.   Eric Brewer (00:17:48) - You just give us the money and we'll mark it for you through billboards and and all that stuff. And you can, you can, you know, absorb our brand and you just have to go out and buy the house. Okay. And through that process got introduced to a man named Brad Chandler who operates out of like the DC metro area. And we had like a mutual friend or something and someone connected us. We set up a zoom call with Brad, and Brad was like, No, no, I wouldn't go the route of the franchise. You need to join Collective Genius. That's the mastermind that I'm in. It's changed my life. Everything that I do today in my business came from there. Let me invite you as my guest. So me and my partner, Craig Rich, went to, um, a meeting. We were extended an invite. We spent three days there, completely blew our mind. And at the end they said, Hey, do you want to join? We'd like to extend an invite.   Eric Brewer (00:18:41) - We think you're a good culture fit. You bring value to the community. We'd love to have you. And we signed up. And, you know, now it's been seven years there. Now I'm actually part of the leadership team at Collective Genius, so I'm one of about a half dozen or so people that run, facilitate and drive the strategy behind that mastermind. And literally every aspect of my business has the fingerprints of on it, starting with the introduction to a guy named Gary Harper and Susan Harper, who runs Sharper Business Solutions, who came here back then and implemented for me over. We spent three days, ten hour, three, ten hour days together where they ripped apart my business, my organizational chart, our systems, our processes, everything. And we built from the ground up. And yeah, it completely changed the trajectory of our business.   Sam Wilson (00:19:36) - That's cool, man. I love that. I love that. Very, very cool. Thanks for giving us some insight on that. You did mention and I've asked I asked this once, but I'll go for it again, the three words you said, Do you remember what you were talking about on that front? We said, hey, there's three.   Eric Brewer (00:19:48) - Yeah. So part of the the exercise inside of, of interaction is defining like what you stand for as a person and then attaching sort of your personal y, driving that down into the business's sole purpose and then the company's core values and then making sure that that resonates and translates down into the most entry level person in the company, right? They all need to be speaking the same language, showing up for the same reason with the same end goal in mind. And we started with purpose. And I don't know if you've ever, you know, gone through the exercise of defining your why or your purpose, But it is hard. It is. And, you know, so I have I have been literally been working on that for about five years straight. And I've wrestled with it. Right. I always felt like I was giving surface. Well, I want more money. Why? Well, want more time? Why? Well, it gives me more freedom. Why is that important? It's like, dude, like, can I just give you the money answer or the family answer? And we had gone through a quarterly planning session where Gary came back 3 or 4 years later after we initially met, and he was working on this purpose with me.   Eric Brewer (00:21:01) - And I said, Yeah, man, it's my purpose. My why is to positively impact the life of my family. And he looked at me and goes, I think you're full of. And I said, What? And he said, You mean to tell me that God puts you on earth to positively impact the life of seven people? That's it. Seven people. That's all you're capable of. And after I got a little upset with him, I realized he had a valid point. And I started, you know, it was really about my family, their families, their grandkids, my employees, family. It was a much bigger, you know, group of people that I wanted to have an impact on. I was just I was living small. And that's triggered this whole sort of purpose. I asked myself 15 times a day now, why? Why is that important? What's that mean to you? Is that a big deal? A little deal? So the three words for me currently today that I can summarize my job description as relationships experience freedom.   Eric Brewer (00:22:10) - And then each of those have like their own sort of nested like if you say, Eric, what do you mean by relationships? Hey, my focus each and every day needs to be to develop new, meaningful relationships and nurture existing meaningful relationships. Yeah, right after I do that, that creates a unique, pleasurable experience for everybody that I come in touch with. New people, existing people, employees, vendors, Customers. Investors. Bankers. Everybody. And as a result of doing those two things, the natural result of that is to have freedom, right? So those are the three aspects of my job description and my life that get as much of my focus as I can responsibly manage.   Sam Wilson (00:22:53) - Man, this has been fantastic. Eric, thank you for taking the time to come on the show today. You've given us so much to think about. We didn't. This have been a little different show and I kind of felt that that was going to be the case. Just talking to you before we kicked it off was like, you know what? We're probably not going to talk all that much about real estate, but you have driven home tremendous value here to me personally and I'm sure also to our listeners here today.   Sam Wilson (00:23:14) - So thank you for taking the time to be very real and just tell tell your story and what you've learned and your journey thus far.

It's Eric underscore Brewer underscore invest.   Sam Wilson (00:23:41) - Awesome we will make sure we put that in the show notes Eric thank you again for your time. I do appreciate it. Thanks buddy.

In today's episode, I'm joined by our longtime friend and collaborator, Brian Gubernick. We've known Brian since the early days of our real estate careers, and over the years, he's worn many hats in the industry. He's fired up by the concept of doing something, anything every single day to get better and it's reflected in the kind of businesses he's built and the contributions he's made, including starting a mastermind business.    Brian Gubernick is a 15+ year residential real estate industry veteran, having held the roles of real estate investor, sales agent, sales team owner/leader, expansion (multi-state) team owner, brokerage operating partner, coach/trainer, and corporate executive. He is the co-founder of the Metrix Mastermind, Chief Real Estate Officer at PLACE and host of No Days Off.    In our industry, the word mastermind gets thrown around a lot, but what most people call masterminds are actually just classes. To be clear, there's obviously a time and a place for lessons and being talked at, but that's not what masterminds are designed for.    The whole point is getting a group of high performing individuals together in a room and allowing them to collaborate, brainstorm, pick apart what they are doing in order to improve it. The different vantage points, the space to prompt thoughts and ideas, and harnessing the collective genius is what makes masterminds so powerful.    CTA   ​​Please leave us a review at https://ratethispodcast.com/nla

On today's Podcast, I interview my friend Brandon Bateman about Pay Per Click (PPC) and SEO For motivated sellers. I first met Brandon at my Collective Genius mastermind when I was introduced to him by a mutual friend. Brandon is running the PPC and SEO campaigns for some of the biggest real estate investors in the country (including many of my friends in my mastermind). Since we spoke about motivated seller marketing on the last podcast episode on this show, I thought it would be a great time to ask Brandon to come on to the podcast so that he could share some of his PPC and SEO Wisdom with all of my listeners. This episode is packed with a lot of information related to marketing to motivated sellers. We talk about Google Ads (PPC), Facebook Ads, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), website design and many other concepts related to motivated seller marketing. Brandon is an expert in PPC and SEO, so get out your notepad and make sure you take some good notes from this podcast episode!

On today's podcast I had Gino and Chandler on. If you don't know them, these kids are 23 years old and are making millions of dollars wholesaling real estate and building other types of businesses. It's super inspiring to see! What really stuck out to me during this conversation is how willing they are to learn and just invest in themselves. They have such great mentors. I actually met them when they came to golf with me, and just knowing them the past five months, I've gotten to see firsthand how strategic they are and how quickly they take action to implement things! We go over a lot of those things, especially if you're a young entrepreneur right now and what actions you should be taking to get around the people you want to learn from. Learning this game, or any other business, on your own is super tough, and these guys realized from the beginning that it's much easier to fast track progress by just getting around the right people. We talked a lot about that as well as what it looks like to build a business in the short term and the long term. It's a really good conversation that you should all watch to the very end! Follow Gino and Chandler on social media! Instagram - @gino__palomba, @chandlersaine Join the Wealthy Way today and get access to my free course, planner, and discord community! https://wealthyway.com______________________________________________________Here's how my businesses can help you:For a free consultation with my team go to https://RyanPineda.comWant to be coached by me on real estate investing?

Gino started real estate investing when he was 19 years old in college. His entrepreneurial journey goes all the way back to when he was 12 years old flipping shoes! Chandler was a project manager for his father's landscape construction company and worked on his website SEO. Gino and Chandler partnered in 2020 in real estate investing and began doubling their deals together. Last year they did $1.8 million in deals! Something they credit their success to is their education, mentors, and the people they surrounded themselves with. Throughout the podcast they discuss how mentorship has helped expanded their businesses and personal lives. The guys love to travel, so they are building their businesses to be online so that they can enjoy their travels. Steve Trang, sales training, real estate investing, how to invest in real estate, real estate investing for beginners, wholesaling real estate, how to grow in business, how to scale business, Collective Genius, Pace Morby, Kong, Tiffany High, wholesaling houses, real estate wholesale
