"Listening is everything. Without listening, there's no music, no art, no understanding—just noise.” (Charlie Peacock, from the episode) Acclaimed musician, producer, podcaster, and author Charlie Peacock joins Mark Labberton to reflect on music, art, attention, listening, faith, and spirituality. From his groundbreaking work in pop music production (e.g., Amy Grant, Switchfoot, the Civil Wars), to his deep engagement with faith and mentorship, Charlie explores how attention shapes creativity, why making space for beauty is a spiritual discipline, and how a life of music can be an act of service. Through stories of artistic risk, collaboration, and calling, this conversation explores the rhythms of a flourishing life. In this episode, they discuss: Charlie's new memoir, Roots and Rhythm: A Life In Music The communal nature of making and producing music The unsung music heroes from Charlie's life Non-neutrality and the interdependence of all things Hearing and visualizing music The intersection of creativity, spirituality, and paying attention, How listening transforms both art and relationships, Life lessons from jazz, pop, and worship music production, And the role of both sound and silence in artistic and spiritual life. About Charlie Peacock Charlie Peacock is a six-time Grammy Award–winning musician and producer, having produced Amy Grant, Switchfoot, the Civil Wars, and many more artists. A three-time recipient of the Gospel Music Association's Producer of the Year Award, he's named by Billboard's Encyclopedia of Record Producers as one of the five hundred most important producers in popular music history. His latest book is Roots and Rhythm: A Life In Music, and you can listen to his podcast, Music & Meaning. For more information visit charliepeacock.com. Episode Highlights "If you're not paying attention, you're missing the song that's already being sung around you." "A mentor doesn't hand you a map; they help you learn how to navigate." "Faith and art are both about trust—trusting the unseen, the unfinished, and the uncertain." "The hardest and best lesson for any artist: keep showing up and doing the work." "Music isn't just a product—it's a means of connection, healing, and worship." Show Notes Charlie Peacock, Roots & Rhythm Music and community The unsung music heroes from Charlie's life Non-neutrality and the interdependence of all things Hearing and visualizing music Michael Polanyi tacit understandings Re-creation of the old into the dramatically new—e.g., Notre Dame Cathedral The joy of generational community Jazz: spirit, skill, and ability “That's what I love about jazz improvisation. There was nothing and then there was something. Over and over again. … When you have those people in a room making music … it's hard to go to sleep at night.” “I have been pursued by a loving Creator … God-haunted since I was a little boy.” “I wanted to know everything. … how, why, what, when … everything.” “Never once was there a moment when I was out of God's grip.” Charlie Peacock's Secret of Time: “God gives you time to be saved.” John Coltrane's spiritual journey “250 people a night…” “I took the F-word out of two songs, and stopped taking 10% from the bar tab.” Hans Rookmaaker Inklings Time in England and the Netherlands, including time at L'Abri (run by Francis and Edith Schaeffer) “An artist and a follower of Jesus, and how those two could be congruent …” “Our death is life to life. The kingdom has already begun. We have been living it. And we will continue to live it.” “Playing with the entire history of music in your brain.” The Civil Wars: “We re-presented hyper-dynamics. … A lot of people have never heard that before. … It invites you in and lets you sit back.” (e.g., pianissimo to forte) Over-compressed music. “That lean in to the music is a part of your participation. … I'm committed to this music.” “I produced music in the ‘80s. I know how to ruin a record. … Big hair and big snare. … But really it had to do with technology.” Music in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s Neil Postman: “To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” “When I use this tool I have to make sure it doesn't use me.” “My subtext is that this is a book about epistemology. … To say, ‘This is how I know what I know.' It came through God, people, and place.” A worker-bee in the music business “Like a house with a party going on” Vocation, epistemology, and how an artists become who they are Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Toni Tresca descend to the underworld (kind of) as they discuss the 1993 horror slasher film Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday. Episode Highlights: If we thought it took a while for Jason to make it to Manhattan, we were shocked by how long it took for him to actually go to hell! Katherine maintains that this is perhaps one of the best uses of a cold opening, and we talk about the film's quirky and odd characters. We explore the consequences--on us as viewers--of removing Jason from his own body for so much of the film. And, of course, Toni gives us the scoop on some of the background--and drama--behind the film's production.  A Dose of Scholarship: For scholarship on the Friday the 13th franchise, we (continue to) encourage to you to turn to 1) Horror Homeroom's special issue on Friday the 13th. and 2) Wickham Clayton's 2020 book SEE!

OVERVIEW Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about how to attract the top talent to your team when starting or running a new business. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: If you're launching or starting a new business, building a team of talented people is important for growth. When you have a great team, you can deliver great products and service.  When it comes to hiring new employees, position the benefits of working for your company, especially if you can't offer a big salary.  One advantage of working for an entrepreneur is autonomy – often not found in the corporate sector. There are layers, meetings and bureaucracy you have to go through with larger entities in the corporate world. Talented people want room to grow and the ability to make decisions. This includes managing budgets and teams, as well as being able to create and come up with solutions.  When employees can make decisions, they feel empowered and have a sense of pride in their work. Another perk you can promote is providing a title. This boosts morale and can serve as a stepping stone for your employees further down the road if they decide to pursue other opportunities.  Flexible hours help your employees improve their work-life balance. Beyond hours, flexibility can also include working remotely and having time to take vacations. If you want to attract the top talent to your team, verbalize, communicate and market the benefits of working for your new business. Do this across all channels including job boards, your website and during interview questions. Hiring the top talent allows you to take your business to the next level.

OVERVIEW: To have it, you have to want it. Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, discusses defining your goal and achieving it. Jason teaches us how to block our time each day and identify if what we do each day is aligned with our goals. If you feel like you're falling short of what you want, tune into this episode.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: If you have big goals but haven't met those goals yet, Jason challenges you to do things differently. The overwhelming majority of successful people are not any smarter than the average person. However, they manage their time way better than the average person. One of the things that Thomas Jefferson did was manage his time into blocks. Jason recommends starting out by blocking your 24 hours a day to 4 hours each, leaving you with 6 chunks of 4-hour time blocks. 2 chunks (8 hours) are usually dedicated for sleep, leaving you with 4 chunks (16 hours). You have to make some extra sacrifices because you have less time in the day to build what you need to build. What separates high-level entrepreneurs from others is their ability to utilize their time to generate value better than the average person. Redefine your goals based on what you're willing to give up and sacrifice. If you want to be in the 1%, you have to do what the 1% does. There's nothing wrong with not striving to be part of the 1%. The idea is to understand exactly what you want and set your priorities accordingly.   TWEETABLE QUOTES: "If you spend your time doing something else, it means you valued that more than your goal. In other words, you didn't want your goal bad enough." – Jason A. Duprat "You need to give up the things that need to be given up to get the results you're looking for." – Jason A.

The first season of Kitchen Chats focused on the first people you call during a crisis. But what if you have no one to call? Or if the people you reach out to don't step up? Aimee brings back her sister, Stephanie, who is also a licensed therapist. Stephanie shares that feeling alone, isolated, or abandoned is a common experience and gives tips for finding resources and building community. Episode Highlights If you feel alone, you're not alone. As a therapist, Stephanie knows it's common for people to feel abandoned, alone, or isolated. For some, even talking about it to a therapist like Stephanie can be hard.  “There are so many moments where we can feel like we don't have anybody to call, even if we have a big circle,” Stepahnie said. “And there are also moments when we realize that we don't have a circle.” Get to know your community. The technology age has made knocking on your neighbor's door a little more awkward than it used to be. But if you're proactive about building your community, you won't have to be reactive when times get tough. One way to build community is to ask people in your area for resource recommendations like counselors and therapists. “That way, you do have those numbers in your back pocket when or if the time comes you need them and you're not scrambling to try and figure it out,” she said. Be a smart shopper. If you're looking to build or refine your inner circle, consider who you're asking to help with what. When Stephanie talks with clients and friends, she uses the analogy of being a smart shopper. For instance, if you go to the hardware store to buy bread, you're going to be disappointed. “I use this analogy of being a smart shopper for learning to know who in your life can offer what,” she said. “Not everybody is going to be your Target, and you don't want everybody to be Target. You need specialty stores, too.” Not everyone has to be a friend. Not everyone you reach out to in tough times has to be a friend. Members of a faith community, support groups, and community centers can all help directly or connect you with resources. Stephanie also recommends reaching out to a therapist. “Reaching out to a therapist is never a bad idea,” she said. “Even if that therapist isn't the right fit for you, they can help you find some of the other resources that you do need.” When someone comes to you. Sometimes, you may not realize you're a person's “kitchen counter” kind of friend until they open up to you. At that time, it's important to consider how to hold space and ask how you can support them. “We never know what we mean to someone else,” Stephanie said. “We don't know when we may be the person that someone else needs.” Don't forget you can call or text 988. If you're feeling at a point of desperation or loneliness, you can always text or dial 988 for the Suicide Prevention Lifeline. When you call, someone will be there to answer who wants to talk to you. “You're worth talking to,” Stephanie said. “Every single one of us is always worth talking to even when we feel like we are not. That can be hard to hold in some moments of real desperation, but I really hope people know that they're valued, they're loved, they're worthy.” Resources + Links If you need someone to talk to, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

To have it, you have to want it.   Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about defining your goal and achieving it. As we enter a new year, Jason welcomes us with a quick reality check. He teaches us how to block our time each day and identify if what we do each day is aligned with our goals. If you feel like you're falling short of what you want, tune into this episode.   3 KEY POINTS: To achieve something, you've got to want it bad enough. If you want to be in the 1%, you have to do what the 1% does. Be willing to sacrifice what needs to be sacrificed.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: If you have big goals but haven't met those goals yet, Jason challenges you to do things differently. Successful people, average people, and you, all have the same 24 hours a day. The overwhelming majority of successful people are not any smarter than the average person. However, they manage their time way better than the average person. One of the things that Thomas Jefferson did was manage his time into blocks. For most people, it takes 15-40 minutes for them to get their minds into a project, which is why they're not used to task-hopping. Jason recommends starting out by blocking your 24 hours a day to 4 hours each, leaving you with 6 chunks of 4-hour time blocks. 2 chunks (8 hours) are usually dedicated for sleep, leaving you with 4 chunks (16 hours). If you have an 8-hour corporate job, you'll have 2 chunks (8 hours) left. Time spent on your personal life will probably be 1 chunk (4 hours), leaving you with 1 chunk (4 hours) left a day to grow your business. You have to make some extra sacrifices because you have less time in the day to build what you need to build. What you do in those 4 hours will be critical. What separates high-level entrepreneurs from others is their ability to utilize their time to generate value better than the average person. Some people say they want something, but their actions don't reflect what they desire. Redefine your goals based on what you're willing to give up and sacrifice. If you want to be in the 1%, you have to do what the 1% does. There's nothing wrong with not striving to be part of the 1%. The idea is to understand exactly what you want and set your priorities accordingly.   TWEETABLE QUOTES: "If you spend your time doing something else, it means you valued that more than your goal.

Rest is part of productivity.   Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about taking the pressure off of being an entrepreneur. In today's episode, Jason's text community asks for advice on how to step away from the pressure of running their business and focus on downtime. If you're an entrepreneur who feels almost burnt out, working 24/7 non-stop while chasing success, this episode is for you.   3 KEY POINTS: Entrepreneurship is a marathon, not a sprint. You have no control over your circumstances, but you do have control over your thoughts. Have proper training, systems, and procedures for when you're not around.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: If you are interested to join Jason's text community, send a message to 407-972-0084. Amy P. asks "How do you not feel like you need to be working in your business 24/7 so you can prioritize some downtime?" Jason was part of a mastermind group called 2CCX Mastermind with Russell Brunson. Here, Jason's mindset Coach, Lindsey, was using a framework that was really common in the therapy and coaching space: "Your circumstances influence your thoughts. Your thoughts impact how you feel emotionally. How you feel emotionally is going to have a lot of control over the actions you take." You have no control over your circumstances, but you have control over your thoughts. You have to have a really solid mindset to be doing anything that is extraordinary in life. You don't need to achieve everything in such a short window. Spread out your timeline a bit farther and give yourself more downtime in the in-betweens. If you're hitting 80-85% of what you would generally target, you're on the right trajectory and can make improvements to reach higher. A similar question from Noreen, another text community member, is "How do I get comfortable stepping away from my clinic?" People commonly think that no one can do what they do as well as they can. If you're hiring the right people, that won't happen. Hire people who can do 80-85% of what you would normally do in terms of quality and standard. Let go of the thought that only you can do it the best. Have the proper training, systems, and procedures in place to delegate responsibilities while you're away. TWEETABLE QUOTES: "You can't control every single thought that enters your mind, but you can control how long that thought stays, your response to that thought, and your feelings towards that thought." – Jason A. Duprat "You will burn out as an entrepreneur if you put too much pressure on yourself to produce a certain level of results within too short of a time period." – Jason A.

“Politeness costs nothing and gains everything.” - Lady Montague Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast, talks about the most effective ways of reaching out to others. In this episode, Jason shares his personal experience of receiving a not-so-conventional invite and how empathy, courtesy, and professionalism play crucial roles in communication. We also learn practices passed down from Jason's Podcast Coach, Travis Chappell, who successfully invited Grant Cardone to his show. 3 KEY POINTS: Be very brief. Avoid information overload. Do some research on who you're reaching out to. Try different angles when reaching out.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: If you're meeting someone for the first time virtually, there are proper procedures, etiquette, or courtesies to follow. When someone reaches out to you look at: How courteous are they? How professional are they? Are their goals aligned with mine? Be very brief. Avoid information overload during your initial reach-out. Emphasize what value the end-user is going to receive. Sometimes, it's just a matter of being persistent and trying different angles. Jason's Podcast Coach, Travis Chappell, went from having no podcast to having famous people like Grant Cardone and Gary Vaynerchuck. Research to learn more about who you're reaching out to and build rapport (Ex. Join their email list or find out what you have in common). Jason recommends using Calendly or other scheduling tools for easier booking of appointments. Since contacting Grant Cardone directly wasn't working, Travis Chappell's strategy was to reach out to Grant Cardone's friends, business partners, and even his wife first. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “When reaching out, instead of forcing your way through the front door, look to the side door and backdoor.” – Jason A. Duprat “When reaching out to someone, always be courteous, professional, and grateful.” – Jason A.

On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to duke it out over ‘what condition is proper for a seller to leave the house?' Except for paint, which is in good working order and represents colors on the walls, everything else should be out of the house. Don't leave your trash that you don't know what to do with for somebody else to deal with. Tune in for all the good details.   Episode Highlights: If we could make common sense common again, we don't have to answer this question, says Jenn Monica says that it all depends on the situation. If it is a $50,000 investment property and somebody is going to come in and do the whole thing over, nobody cares what condition it's in. Monica believes that there is a standard for everything, and she would say you should treat others the way you would like to be treated and how you want to come into the house. Houses don't necessarily have to be spotless, but you should have them professionally cleaned to your own standard. If you have something other than a small nail hole in the wall that should be patched, the paint should be redone. When we were making short sales, we also did some deed in lieu of foreclosure, and so we would have to negotiate with the bank on how to leave the property, and the bank's rules were broom swept. If you have got four dogs and you are the seller, you should have the carpets cleaned unless you are ripping them out. Monica thinks one of the biggest problems happens when you, as the seller say, “I think they would like this, or they will want this,” but in actuality, they don't. There should be no personal belongings left in the home unless with this hot seller's market, maybe you have got under contract because you negotiated with the sellers that you can leave some stuff behind   3 Key Points: If as an agent you want to make an offer on the house, you have to find out the plan like where the person is going because they think that they have an hour worth of moving, but you know they have got three month's worth of moving, and every personal item must be removed from the house. Colleen Kelly, from EXP, is today's tiebreaker.  As per her the golden rule is clear communication and treating others as you would want to be treated because that is a general thumb rule in life. As an agent you should do a house walk-through one to two days before closing day. Colleen does a house walk at least around 24 hours beforehand, so that if they see any major issues or holes in the walls, they can fix them before closing.   Resources Mentioned: Jenn Murtland LinkedIn | Facebook | (513) 400-1691 | Website | Instagram https://jennifermurtland.com/Vault/ Monica Weakley website | LinkedIn | Facebook Real Estate Fight Club Podcast  Facebook page | Instagram | YouTube Colleen Kelley 513-374-3706 | colleensellscincy@gmail.com Thank You To Our Incredible Sponsor Partners (Get Great Discounts with these links) Coach John Kitchens - Go To trial.coachcode.com and put Coach Code sponsor FightClub Ghostpostr - https://www.ghostpostr.com/ (Get It For FREE!)   Cyberbacker - https://cyberbacker.com/ (Get a FREE gift by simply saying you heard it on Real Estate Fight Club) Pipeline Pro Tools - https://pipelineprotools.com/fightclub/  

On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club Podcast, Jenn and Monica are going to duke it out over what is the best lead follow-up system? A lead for Monica is a referral from a client, and she does whatever it takes to get in touch with that person because they might also expect her call. Jenn uses all forms of communication if a person or lead doesn't respond once because her thought process around that is - they will respond in their preferred way of communication. Tune in for all of the details! Episode Highlights: If you have a referral lead and if that person doesn't call you back, it still does not mean they don't want to do business with you, says Jenn. Jenn inquires, in the case of referral, you first call the person, and they don't return the call; what do you do?  A certain percentage of buyers are listing, but Jenn does not care that much because she would help you if you want to be helped. For internet leads, you have got to be quick. But, if you are doing Zillow leads, you have to understand that this game is one with consistent persistence, suggests Monica.  Jenn answers the question: When does she give up or move off from the lead if they never talked to her? The goal is to get a response, and if you have got 15 leads, that is a lot because all you are doing is a lead follow-up every day, says Jenn. Honestly, the answer to the best lead follow-up strategy is that it depends on what lane you are in and how serious you are about that lane, says Monica.  Monica shares her advice on Zillow leads. Tiebreaker, Jamie Woodall, licensed associate real estate broker at Pat O'Brien & Associates, joins the conversation. He says before becoming a real estate broker, he was a pastor and was visiting about, opening up churches, making connections, networking, and inviting people to create things together. Immediate, passionate, and energetic response is the best lead follow-up strategy. Jamie gives his advice on timing. If you don't generate leads, you have nothing to negotiate, and if you work in order of priority following up and generating leads, it is more important, affirms Jenn. You can put all of your detailed information on the contact card of your phone so that when you shoot it to a new lead, they at least have you in their contacts list that they ever do need help, suggests Jamie. Many agents are starting to do videos on different neighborhoods, so that could even be something if new clients are looking at a specific community, and this idea is creating values, says Jenn.   3 Key Points: Most brokers have an automated system, and automated is better because the problem with lead follow-up is that after so many leads, it is very difficult for you to do it manually, says Jenn. If you want to build a business based on cold leads from Zillow, and that is your strategy, then you better get a solid follow-up system, recommends Monica. The main thing that Jamie looks for in the first conversation with the lead is their criteria for a home, price range, timeline, and the main reason they are buying the home.   Resources Mentioned: Jenn Murtland LinkedIn | Facebook | (513) 400-1691 | Website | Instagram https://jennifermurtland.com/Vault/ Monica Weakley website | LinkedIn | Facebook Real Estate Fight Club Podcast  Facebook page | Instagram | YouTube Jamie Woodall   Website | jamie@patobrien.com Thank You To Our Incredible Sponsor Partners (Get Great Discounts with these links) Coach John Kitchens - Go To www.CoachCode.com to get on the list!

On today´s episode of Professional Success Podcast, your host Sheila Boysen-Rotelli, a Master Certified Career Coach, Recruiter, and Talent Development Leader, shares a few tips on using LinkedIn to stand out in your current role. She talks about some strategies you can use to stand out on LinkedIn all from the comfort of your virtual office. Episode Highlights: • If you want to understand the power of LinkedIn, you want to use 5 to 10 minutes to spot industry, shifting trends, and insights from leading thinkers and institutions. • Sheila recalls when she made a career change, she was motivated to impress, but there was a lack of confidence in her instincts and ideas. • The last tip Sheila gives is to be a Brand Ambassador and how to help your company stand out. 3 Key Points: 1. The next time you're on LinkedIn, pull yourself away from the non-interesting feed, and focus instead on curating the content you see. Choose people thinkers, business leaders, institutions, and hashtags that you like to follow. 2. LinkedIn groups are a forum for participating in hot topical conversations. You can join groups based on almost any affinity, can think of the school you attended, past employers, industry, geography, interests, and many more. 3. Putting your company on the map by highlighting its achievements is another way to be noticed or recognized at work. Consider where you can highlight work that you or your company is doing that contributes to the conversations shared by big thinkers in your industry. Tweetable Quotes: • “You can use LinkedIn to spot insights and trends.” - Sheila Boysen–Rotelli • “What you're doing is what your organization's doing.” - Sheila Boysen–Rotelli • “Once you're in a group, it's a great place to start, or participate in conversations.” - Sheila Boysen–Rotelli • “The second tip is to learn and share best practices yourself.” - Sheila Boysen–Rotelli Resources Mentioned: • Sheila Boysen-Rotelli: Website Podcast

Today’s episode opens with a question for you - if your business is a vehicle, which seat are you in? Are you in the driver’s seat, making every decision about where you want to take your business? Or are you in the passenger seat, making a few calls but largely handing control over to others? Matt and Garrett discuss the importance of accepting your current reality so that you can make the necessary changes to get back in the driver’s seat, even if you’re starting from the back seat or worse, the trunk. They talk about having creative input and control over your marketing, rather than relying on Autoflow Marketing strategies. And they acknowledge that while you may not want to be in the driver’s seat for every aspect of your business, you still want to be in control of the process. Being a navigator from the passenger position can be equally important, as Matt and Garrett point out with the example of rally car racing. And if you’ve found yourself relegated to the back seat of the car, our hosts explain how communication can help you get back in control of the wheel.  Connect with other Ninjas, ask questions, and get in on the conversation by joining the growing Ninja Selling Podcast group on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/theninjasellingpodcast.

If you feel like you’re in the passenger seat, it’s time to acknowledge that so you can make some real changes, get back in the driver’s seat, and take control of your business again So much power in accepting your current reality Don’t hand the steering wheel over to others and let them decide where you’re going Being in the driver’s seat means having creative input in your marketing Autoflow Marketing point is a great example of being in the passenger seat It’s okay if you don’t want to be in the driver’s seat for every aspect of your business, but you still want to be in control Hiring someone does not mean you need to relinquish all control and move to the back seat The passenger can also serve an important role as navigator - rally car racing is an excellent example of this Knowing your process keeps you out of the back seat Communication is crucial and can help you move back to the front of the car Look at your systems and analyze where there might be a challenge or breakdown in communication This can even be applied to your personal life and relationships Are you moving toward your goals and dreams with your business? If not, you’re probably not in the driver’s seat Be aware of your position and be purposeful about what you need to do to change   Quotes: “Your business is a vehicle - which seat are you in?” “You wonder why you’re so confused about how you ended up here - it’s because you’re sitting in the back seat. You’re in the trunk! Somebody else is driving.” “I think the majority of people are in the passenger seat.” “You can’t make changes usually in your business or in your life unless you acknowledge where you’re at right now. And I think it’s time to stop and acknowledge.” “Do you have a say in what’s being put together? Do you have a voice in the type of marketing that’s going out?” “I think for some things in your business, you don’t want to be in the driver’s seat of it… When it came to staging a house, I did not want to be in the driver’s seat. I am not that person. I hired someone else to drive that car.” “When you go and you hire somebody or you bring in an expert, you technically are in the driver’s seat. You can let that person go if you want to, if you don’t like what they’re putting together.” “With hiring people, that’s also where a lot of people end up in the back seat. They relinquish too much control.” “If your hands are not in it, if you’re not checking in periodically, you do run that risk of all of a sudden going, How in the world did we get here and why are there only three wheels on the car?” “This comes into knowing your process. I think if you know how your business operates, if you know your process, so you know what’s coming next, you’re immediately pulling yourself out of the back seat. If you’re in reaction mode...you’re totally in the back seat.” “When you start to analyze your business and start to break down all the pieces of it, I think there actually are the right spots that you need to be in the passenger seat and there are the right spots where you need to be in the driver’s seat. What you don’t want is to be in the back seat.” “If you find yourself in the back seat, communication will fix that. That means you need to pick up the phone, you need to talk to people, you need to figure out what’s going on. And the minute you do that, you’ve moved yourself back up the passenger seat position.” “If you acknowledge that you’re in the back seat, you’re now also acknowledging that there is a communication issue that is happening with yourself, with your team, with your clients potentially. And so find that challenge and figure out what’s the best way to solve that problem as quickly as possible, and you’ll move yourself into the front portion of the vehicle.” “I have no communication anymore and I’m on the back seat… I think that there’s lots of different places here that people are going to stop and be like, That’s where the issue is.” “Hopefully the result there is that you’re in the driver’s seat of the entire business… We want to end up in that driver’s seat because this is your future. This is your goal. These are your dreams that you’re building with this business. And so if the business isn’t moving you towards that, then you’re probably not in the driver’s seat.” “This doesn’t take long to figure out, and it doesn’t take long to change. But you have to be aware of it, and then you have to be purposeful about what you’re doing to do to make the change. And then go do it.”   Links: www.TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Email us at    TSW@TheNinjaSellingPodcast.com Leave a voicemail at (208) MY-NINJA   Ninja Selling www.NinjaSelling.com @ninjasellingofficial Ninja Coaching: www.NinjaCoaching.com @ninja.coaching Ninja Events www.NinjaSelling.com/Events  Garrett garrett@ninjacoaching.com @ninjaredding Matt matt@ninjacoaching.com @matthewjbonelli   The Ninja Selling Podcast Facebook Group

Episode Highlights If we are going to set up moral boundaries in our businesses, we should do so consistently. I.e. not just homosexual sin, but heterosexual sin. Jesus’ example with sinners was consistently compassion, then “go and sin no more.” (John 4:1-29; 8:1-11)

On this episode, host Keri Shull presents at the HyperFast Digital Dive Deep Event on how to land more off-market opportunities using sixteen different strategies. Learn how to gain an advantage and differentiate yourself as an agent, by executing on these smart strategies. Episode Highlights:  If you want to differentiate yourself, go out and find off-market properties. Off-market opportunities are a huge attraction to buyers. If you can create these opportunities, you will own your market. People will refer you more business when you find them a home they could not have found without you. An off-market property is a property that is not listed on the MLS. Your job is to be proactive and to find what your buyers are looking for. Look at who the absentee owners are. Reach out to landlords and ask them if they'd consider selling. Use Zillow to find people who are trying to sell homes themselves, contact them, and try to get your clients in the door. Imagine you find the right property in the tax records. Do a letter drop and target those specific sellers. The more specific you are in your letter, the higher your callback rate will be. Use Craigslist. There are still FSBOs who put their homes on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. FSBOs and FSBO websites are a good place to find off-market listings. Also look at vrbo.com and airbnb.com because some of those people are not able to get income right now. Befriend gatekeepers. They can be powerful referral sources when you provide value to them. Keri always gave little gifts to the person at her front desk. Look out for gatekeepers and have their back. Top agents can help you get deals done. Based on the criteria your buyers want, you can sort sold listings and then sort by the agents and call or text them and ask what they have coming up in that neighborhood. Builders who are prominent in a community meet with many sellers. Builders will give you plenty of opportunities if you build a relationship with them and refer back to them. Remine is a tool you can use to search. Call your MLS and ask if they have Remine. Remine takes data and layers it based on the habits they've seen for consumer spending. Remine can help you reduce your cost on farming based on data.  All of this is giving you the power to influence sellers to think about selling and to influence your buyers by proactively letting them know how you're handling challenges. Expireds and withdrawns are worth checking in on. Try to procure those opportunities for your clients. Look at probate records. There is a legal right for you to request information from the county. Social media is an obvious place where you can post about buyers with a need. Tell your SOI what you are looking for. Some local companies post the listings they have that are coming soon. When you use these strategies, you will have something valuable to share with your clients about what you're doing on their behalf. Hire a VA if you're too busy to execute on these strategies on your own. 3 Key Points: Finding off-market opportunities will help you dominate your market. There are many places to find off-market opportunities for your clients. It's your job to be proactive. People will refer you more business when they know you can help in a proactive way.

People will watch webinars because they are presented as something more than just a video. Webinars should feel like an event. A webinar should be exciting, exclusive, and available for a limited time. The exclusivity approach does very well. Give them an expiring code to create a feeling of exclusivity. You can have several different versions of the same webinar to appeal to different segments. 80% of your content would be the same across presentations, with 20% targeted to specific segments to address their specific needs and wants. How do I develop a webinar for first-time homebuyers? Webinars are a way to provide value in advance of asking them to do something for you. Education in advance of sales creates more sales and more satisfaction. You're really having a one-on-one conversation but thousands of people can watch it. Keri shares a webinar strategy her team is talking about. Shift the education in front of the conversation. When you push information to the front of the conversation, you have better conversations. In your webinar, take your clients behind the counter. Spill industry secrets. Give the consumer an informational advantage.   3 Key Points:   A webinar is a presentation that you turn into an event. It's supposed to be exciting, exclusive, and available for a limited time.    You can create several slightly different presentations to address different segments.   With a webinar, you can shift the education to the front of the conversation.    Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Hyperfast Academy Keri Shull: Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram Jason Fladlien YouTube, Facebook One to Many: The Secret to Webinar Success (book) Rapid Crush

On this episode of The HyperFast Agent Podcast, host Keri Shull speaks with Sunshine Wilhite, a multi-million dollar producing realtor who excels at converting online leads. Wilhite shares her strategy for capturing leads online, including how to engage leads when you pick up the phone to make an appointment.   Episode Highlights: If you're generating Facebook leads then you know these leads are not usually ready to buy immediately. Internet leads are about the long game. Advertising on Ylopo is all about testing different areas. For example, if you know there are buyers interested in one area, you want to advertise in an area just outside that area, where they'll be able to find similar homes for less. Some cities convert better than others. The trick is to look at where leads are coming from and turn off things that aren't working. Wilhite looks at her ad spend once a week and adjusts where she's spending money. When you reach out, you want to ask about their timeframe. This question will tell you which path you're on and how to continue down that path. Stay in touch by asking for a firm commitment to follow up. Send personalized push listings and then send a text. Watch your priority alerts. Sometimes you have to approach follow-up in different ways. Find multiple ways to offer value. If someone was on your website five minutes ago, they're obviously interested. Pick up the phone. A lot of people are scared to make cold calls. If you want to make money, pick up the phone. If you struggle with converting internet leads, pick up the phone. 75% of Wilhite's conversions happen over the phone. Watch your lead's behaviors on your website. You want to get in front of them when their behavior indicates that they're in the market and you can help.  Shull emphasizes that when you reach out to someone who is raising their hand for help, they are going to be grateful that you called.   3 Key Points: Internet leads are a long game. Advertising on Ylopo is all about testing different areas. When you have a lead from one area, ask them if there are additional areas they're considering. Pick up the phone. While texting or email may seem more comfortable, calls convert.   Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Hyperfast Academy Keri Shull: Linkedin   Facebook  Sunshine Wilhite website, Facebook, Twitter  Ylopo Agent Legend
