Why The Blue Checkmark On Twitter Might Be Worth Paying For!   Did you hear about what Twitter is doing with legacy blue checkmarks?  Tune in to this week's episode of the #SocialGenius Podcast brought to you by #DrunkOnSocial to get the latest update and hear the hypocrisy of our political leaders using TikTok as they consider doing away with it.   Episode Highlights: Jeff talks about the purpose of the blue checkmark Tristan Share his screen and show the website about.meta.com where you can get verified and you can see what exclusive features include. Jeff believes that Facebook will reward the user and creator that pays them money. Tristan asks Jeff if he is willing to pay $49 - $59 for more reach, for a different color check mark? Twitter has blue, gold, and gray checkmark options in the app. Jeff thinks Facebook should do an increased cost for more reach. Twitter's going to start removing legacy blue checkmarks in the app, you'll have to pay $8 to keep it. Tristan shares he doesn't agree with how TikTok is being handled, where the government is telling us what app we can or can't use. Jeff said this is not about meta trying to suppress TikTok this is now about the government. A certain politician who even signed off on the bill without even fully understanding and knowing what they are signing off on. Tristan doubted the people leading us who don't fully understand the internet, social media or technology.  Why Jeff mentions our government is insanely hypocritical with social media. Jeff shares his thoughts about the Article: White house recruits TikTok influencers to reach young voters with key messaging.  The Biden administration realized the influence of social media. The public motive has been, “we need to ban TikTok '' but the real motive is actually to gain control over what we can see, to gain data ''  The Biden administration marketed themselves using Instagram and Tiktok.

Alex went to the University of Vermont and took a class called, “Entrepreneurship 101”. He shares about his first project there building a website for a city in Vermont; That opened the door for him to start Burlington Internet Company building websites. Alex has always been solving problems for agents in the industry on the tech and internet side. He previously had a branding business also. “Submit your listings” is another business he had that took off but they couldn't keep up with it as “kids working out of a garage”. “In 2018, he and his business partner built a software to measure 181 data points and tells you how you're doing online and then built a way to fix it and then share the information. What is the Instacard? You can text it or share via QR code. Alex talks about how it went viral. Why are paper business cards not effective? Jeff asks Alex at the time he created Instacard, who the other  players were in the market.

This Is What You Need To Know About Why Congress Wants To Ban Tik Tok. You have seen all of the articles and videos about TikTok going in front of our government under scrutiny… Today on the Social Genius Podcast, Jeff and Tristan have news to share about it that is going to blow your mind like it did theirs! It is fascinating…Tune in now.   Episode Highlights: Jeff says, “the propaganda over the last 2 years has completely skewed what we believe about TikTok.” Jeff shares his screen to show you the articles of exactly what they have been reading. He explains what they look for when they are aggregating the sources to avoid biases. American business enterprise could be the agenda behind banning TikTok, specifically Meta and maybe Google who are threatened by the app because it is so innovative and advanced. TikTok is not controlled by any government, it is essentially a free forum for the truth unlike the majority of media that you now receive which is heavily controlled by business and government. Did you know that TikTok is not owned by China? Jeff tells who it is actually owned by, what else they own, and why it matters. TikTok employs 7,000 Americans. What about those jobs? Who is the founder of ByteDance and TikTok? Jeff talks about where he is based and how they started. The narrative you have heard recently will not match up with info Jeff shares about the apps. The TikTok equivalent in China is highly focused on beauty influence and shopping! Who should we really be fearing when it comes to control and Social? Jeff talks about censorship and why China doesn't allow TikTok there. What about restrictions for young users? What could we learn? For years, China has tried to curb video game addiction. The problem is massive in the United States too. How do you minimize your kids' use of TikTok? Jeff talks about the fears that have been stirring in our country that are not reality. Jeff reviews 10 of the most popular free apps on Apple's app store- they are developed by Chinese companies. Do you know where the apps on your phone are created? Jeff reviews the article, “TikTok CEO in the hot seat: 5 takeaways from his first appearance before Congress”, which you can also find in the Resources section of the Show Notes below. What about TikTok's data collection services? Interested in learning more about Zuckerberg and how he does business? Jeff recommends looking up the podcast, Business Wars: SnapChat Versus Facebook. What if TikTok didn't exist? Jeff calls out other causes and platforms that have the same issues that people are citing for TikTok. What is the job of most media companies? Keep it in perspective when you are consuming content.  Be careful of the massive bias and be sure to educate yourself from multiple sources so that you can form your own opinion, not have it formed for you. Is the TikTok ban imminent or will the US just work to make it “safer”?     Resources Mentioned: Business Video School: https://www.bizvideoschool.com/ Drunk on Social Website: www.drunkonsocial.com Drunk on Social Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/136264191062786/  Drunk on Social Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/groups/136264191062786/  Jeff Pfitzer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffpfitzer/  Jeff Pfizer TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeffpfitzer?lang=en  Tristan Ahumada Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/labcoatagents  TristanAhumadaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ6o6B5JPEBP57hu9VdzT4Q Lab Coat Agents Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/labcoatagentsR Lab Coat Agents Twitter: https://twitter.com/LabCoatAgents Lab Coat Agents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/labcoatagents/ TikTok is owned by a Chinese company.

Cory talks about relationship building as opposed to just trying to promote your brokerage and talking about how great your brokerage might be. What about personality assessments? Jeff says that one thing many good coaches have in common is understanding the people you help on a personal level and approaching them as such. The questions that you ask are always important.

Jeff asks him what he does to create so many conversations.  Culture matters. Cory explains how he has seen that play out and explains how to find out what else matters for people. Do you get our feelings hurt easily? Jeff and Cory talk about looking at the bigger picture rather than getting caught up in the emotions of people coming and going and seek to support them.

On this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, some very good friends of the show are back…Brandface! Tonya Eberhart and Michael Carr are talking about how their business is shifting and how they are attracting new clients. This is so relevant for every single listener. Don't miss it! Episode Highlights: Jeff introduces Tonya and Michael from Brandface, whom many of the audience are familiar with. Tonya is the founder of Brandface. She entered the radio industry in 1988 in the sales side. She was getting doors slammed in her face. She realized that she needed to change the way that she presented herself. What are the things that successful people have in their industry? Tonya talks about how she studied it and started leading others to do the same.  Michael has a background in real estate. He opened up a brokerage in his hometown and realized that his marketing was not good, which is when he met Tonya who told him he didn't need marketing…he needed branding. His team is north of Atlanta, Georgia with 26 agents  and he is the COO of Brandface, LLC. There is a big myth out there that people are going to help you build your brand. Tonya says there is a big difference between building a brand and promoting a brand. What makes you unique in your space? What does it mean to your customers? Tonya talks about taglines and stories and how she pulls out the important character traits and experiences to highlight as well as loop that back to why the customers should care.  Michael says you do have to differentiate yourself and he clarifies that you can do that even if you are just getting started. Jeff asks Michael and Tonya how they guide agents into their shining star points. ‘What would you like to be known for?' is one of questions Tonya asks clients to get them thinking about how they will build their brand. What is the meaning behind finding how to be seen differently, changing your presentation? Michael shares some personal experiences and stories about niche and reputation. What about the agent who doesn't have the experience and connections? Jeff and Michael discuss limiting beliefs. Limiting beliefs are the number one distraction from getting to where you want to go. Michael shares how he personally overcame his limiting beliefs. You have life experiences that are relatable to others as well as different education. People do business with you because of what you express in your story and brand.  Tonya shares an example of a brand they have developed that doesn't really have anything to do with their experience level or what they have done in the past. How do you brand without boxing yourself in? Brandface recently did an episode on Social Genius by Drunk on Social - make sure to check it out! “It is not even about virality anymore, it is about dialing in”, says Jeff. Michael and Tonya agree and share their advice.  Michael loves the podcast space but he says it is not about millions of listeners. The focus is on community.   You can make just as much money with a small sphere of influence…Michael explains how. Tonya discusses the shift from mass media to “me media” and how Social Media has evolved too. Michael talks about the importance of network and a story with a client who had a  community of 130 people across the nation that generated 15 million dollars in sales, half of her total sales. How are you monetizing your influence no matter what the size? Michael and Tonya share ideas to strategize. Jeff talks about the importance of podcasting and connection. Tonya and Michael weigh in with their opinions.   Resources Mentioned:  Lab Coat Agents | Website | Facebook | Facebook Group | Twitter | Instagram  Jeff Pfitzer   | Instagram | LinkedIn | Twitter Follow Up Boss (Sponsor) Chime (Sponsor) Z buyer (sponsor) https://brandfacestar.com/

Tune in to get all the best advice! How Public Relations Can Benefit Real Estate Agents-with Paige Dungan- EP 190   Today on the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Jeff Pfitzer is joined by Paige Dungan who is a Public Relations Specialist and Co-Founder of The Sisu Agency. She shares how local media is always looking for experts they can feature when business topics become relevant for their audience and she gives great advice on who to contact and how to add value so you become the go-to local expert on real estate. Tune in to get all the best advice! Episode Highlights: Jeff introduces Paige Dungan who used to run Success Magazine. Paige Dungan shares where she started out in college and her entrepreneurial desires. Paige jumped into the first PR hire for Dickey's Barbecue when they started to franchise. That experience taught her so many lessons that she needed and showed her that she really wanted to do PR for her career. As a marketing manager, Paige took an entirely different role with Success Magazine. She could see the relational piece missing. Nobody wanted to ask the big names to get more involved. PR is connecting, especially connecting those who don't have the confidence to ask and the time and heart to do it. Paige shares how Tristan helped her think well about her naivety going into entrepreneurship for the second time after her first failed attempt. There is a success mindset that you have to find  Jeff talks about his experience meeting Tristan and how what some people may think is annoying was actually so needed and led to them becoming business partners. Sometimes you just have to keep trying until you're told not to.  Jeff asks Paige to talk about overcoming struggle. For her, it was a two and a half year process postpartum. She talks about what it was like to deliver a child at the very beginning of COVID in all the uncertainty. Paige explains what it was like to go from being a high performer to not being able to get out of bed and how hard it was to not show up as a wife, mom, sister, daughter, etc. Jeff mentions how relatable the topic is and asks Paige to give advice to those who are going through something similar or may go through in the future. Society minimizes the time it should take for us to process and go through things but the reality is life doesn't work that way. Jeff talks about the pros and cons of compartmentalization in both personal life and business. Oftentimes people don't immediately recognize something wrong with them because so many are just moving one hundred miles per hour or they try to get busier to distract themselves which just temporarily masks the pain but does not lead to long term improvement or recovery. In PR there are so many emotions, relationships, and nuances. Jeff asks Paige to talk about the difference in the PR that is costly and the free options. Why do real estate agents need PR? How can you be seen as the authority with value in your community as a real estate agent? “If anyone DMs you to pay for PR, do not do it”, says Paige. Journalists look for content and knowledge, what can you provide? How do you find reporters? Paige shares the tips and tricks. Paige explains the roles of those who work for TV shows and news outlets and who it is you need to get in touch with. Paige shares how real estate agents can be great at their own PR. 3 Key Points: There are many challenges and rewards with entrepreneurial endeavors. Paige talks through the limiting factors that hold many people back and how she has personally overcome them. Many people especially in recent times have gone through a lot of hardship and mental health is a very real topic to approach head on. Paige explains the importance and how to get through recovery.

On this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, Jeff talks to Dustin Heiner, founder of ‘Master Passive Income. If you take advantage of the opportunity right in front of you, you have an option to sell real estate, which gives you access to properties and the ability to do more than be the listing or buyer's agent. Wouldn't you like to be successfully unemployed?   Episode Highlights: Jeff asks Dustin, why are you different? Why does what you teach work better than probably all other experts? Dustin started ‘Master Passive Income' after he became successfully unemployed. When he was 37 years old, he quit his job because he had enough rental properties, cash flow, and 30 plus properties.  Everyone needs to realize that your value is not in your job. It's in you. Your boss is only paying you just enough to keep you working without quitting, but not so much that it takes money off their table. What is the tipping point? How many properties or passive income, or how much ROI do you need to have to get to that point where you could say I'm quitting my job? Dustin talks about how he got into buying properties. How did he afford a down payment? How did he go about scaling and building up enough reserves consistently to be able to put down payments?  What about  strategies related to niching down to the specific area in the town or the city? Does it matter if it's a beat-up part of town versus a higher-end? Is there a certain rent price point to be looking for? How do you establish all of this stuff?  People do not adequately watch videos on having a good property manager. If you don't have a property manager who will manage your property, you don't have a business. What are the specifications to be  looking for in  a property manager?  The property manager customer is the landlord, the product is the property, and the tenant is just paying for that. So their customer is not the tenant. But, on the other hand, I am their tenant, so they're looking to benefit me, says Dustin. We ask questions that lead to helping property managers answer in a way that we want to hear their prior experience.  What are the three best markets to invest in right now? There are many other ways to make passive income. Dustin says that real estate is by far the best. Every business he created is a passive income style business from this point forward. Get your finances together, get yourself in a position where you can qualify to buy property, but the most important thing is if you want to follow a strategy, think passive, suggests Jeff.  3 Key Points: Dustin shares his story about how he got over the hurdle of not wanting to work anymore and how he became successfully employed as an investor. Every piece of property you buy is another piece of inventory you put into your business, and that's how you scale the business. For a realtor who is brand new at investing, What is the most critical thing to focus on before buying a property?

On today's episode of “Lab Coat Agents Podcast” Jeff talks to guest Jenn Lim (Author of Book called ‘Beyond Happiness'), she shares how we can find more happiness and harmony so that we can be both successful and happy in life. They discuss how happiness is not all about highs; it is also about understanding our lowest points, too. Tune in for this valuable insight on leadership!   Episode Highlights: Jeff says that it's always a challenge to keep everyone happy & humming, concurrently. Jenn and Tony Hsieh (Ex CEO of Zappos) launched the ‘Delivering Happiness' book in 2010 and from that point in time they realized there was a demand for happiness in the world.  ‘Delivering Happiness' company essentially helps organizations, teams, governments, hospitals, and any workplaces to understand how you apply scientific happiness to your people. All the research that's been going on with scientific happiness says it is actually those that are happier, that are more successful. There's actual data and research of people wanting to understand what we can actually focus on, so that we're not thinking about what's wrong with us. But we can think about what's actually right with us, and focus on those things in a more positive way.  Jeff asks Jenn, how do you articulate the whole money and happiness thing? If money's not making you happy, you're not spending it the right way. It means you are spending it meaningfully for yourself and the people you love. If you really are doing this for the people you love, including yourself, then do you have that  prioritization in your time on a day-to-day basis in place? How can we refocus our energy, refocus our time to make sure we can wake-up every morning feeling solid, that we're aligned by that? Understand your own personal highs & lows, to have a more accurate picture of who you are as a human being and how you want to live and how you want to spend your time. The most important thing that we need to do right now, especially after COVID, is to set these schedules and rituals. Everyone wants to be treated as a human being not just as an employee or as a worker. When you are having a conversation and holding up the mirror, you don't have to be the mechanic. Jenn says, to her, beyond happiness means being more real about all the different layers and sides of who we are. If we're truly realistic about what our other sides are, not just the highs, but the lows, not just the strengths, but the shadows, then that's where meaningful happiness comes in.  Ask yourself three questions, first: “Where does your energy lie?” That's a question for your purpose. Second: “Where're your talents?” The third thing is impact- “What is it that you, as a human being, want to make an impact on the world?” Once you as a leader have the purpose and values together, the next thing is to start with yourself and then go through it with five leaders in your company and just see the results.  Three Key Points: As we grow and build, just don't forget to nurture your own greenhouse as well. We all get to know ourselves best in terms of doing the deep dive, answering the hard questions like, “What's most meaningful to us and are we living our life that way? We all like to focus on the positive sides or the positive things that happen in our life; But we also need to be real about what's not going well.

In other words, to learn the behaviors of the top-performing agents or sales agents.” - Jeff Kirchick “Give them a framework that they can operate within. Because, you know that you need to exist within that framework to succeed, but, make it loose enough that the individual can still act in a way that is their authentic self.” - Jeff Kirchick “This book is for salespeople, but, it's also for everyone. The reason for that is because I think everyone is a salesperson in some way.” - Jeff Kirchick Resources Mentioned: Jeff Kirchick Linkedin Cresta Reach out to Katlyn Eggar Quantum Assurance International

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents podcast, host Jeff Pfitzer speaks with Barry Habib, the best prognosticator of the existing Real Estate and Mortgage industry. He is the CEO of the MBS Highway and three times Crystal Ball Award Winner by Zillow and Pulsenomics for giving the most accurate Real Estate forecasts out of 150 of the top economists in the United States.  Episode Highlights: Jeff asks Barry to tell the listeners about his entrepreneurial journey, industry experience, and the challenges he has faced. Barry wrote a book called, Money in the Streets, which was the number one Amazon bestseller. It is a wonderful book with regards to finding real estate opportunities. There are so many opportunities to help clients identify. In the market now, “You have to win the home, you don’t just buy it.” Barry produced Criss Angel in Las Vegas and Rock of Ages on Broadway, as lead producer and managing partner, which became worldwide. He was in the mortgage sector for many years and had his own company which he built and sold. He was ranked as the top producer in the United States several times and he was named “Mortgage Professional of the Year” in 2019.  Barry talks about the importance of identifying and addressing points of friction in business. Barry states that you win trust in two ways: 1) Not being afraid to tell everything that is bad and 2) Having true knowledge. If we learn to establish trust quickly, we will have more transactions, we'll be happier in our relationships, and we will be more successful in general. Barry says a real estate agent should be like an advisor, willing to present the good and the bad. He says to put yourself in the position of the buyer when you think about what they would want and need to know. The demand side of the industry is new households being formed and the supply side is households being completed by builders.  The first time home buyer is a critical element in supply and demand. They don’t replace inventory.  According to Zillow, the median age of the first-time home buyer is 33 years old. Looking at birth rates, over the next five years, there is going to be an even greater influx of first-time home buyers who will be depleting the inventory. In regards to affordability, he says it's important to understand the actual math behind it because the media does not get it right. We are in the seventh most affordable housing market on record. The most recent existing home sales report showed the median home price rose 16%; It also showed that hourly earnings rose by 5%. The median home price is not appreciation, that is the mix of homes. Since there is not as much inventory on the lower end, less people are buying on the lower end. For homes above 1 million dollars, sales increased by 80%. The increase above that level moved the median home price up. With incomes going up over 6% and interest rates staying relatively the same, sale prices could go up 10, 15, 20, 25%. Barry emphasizes fulfillment in the journey of seeking one’s goals. The monetary benefit will come but the factor of truly being able to help others is the source of actual fulfillment. “The feeling that we get from helping is better than the check.” 3 Key Points: Barry states that establishing trust is the foundation for being  successful in anything. Focusing on letting go of our fears, let go of our insecurities, getting out of our own heads, and truly seeking the customers’ best interest in advising them is the key to success in real estate.  To understand the affordability and sustainability of the current housing market, we have to look beyond the repeated misconceptions of the media and into the real data and math.   Resources Mentioned: Lab Coat Agents  | Website | Facebook | Facebook Group | Twitter | Instagram | Jeff Pfitzer   | Instagram | LinkedIn | Twitter Barry Habib | LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | Website RedX (sponsor) LinkU (sponsor)
