From flavor to rhythm to history, the impact of Hispanics on our world is unforgettable. This month, I'm thrilled to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with four incredible women in the real estate industry. They share powerful stories of breaking barriers, building community, and redefining what leadership looks like. Meet The Leaders ·         Maggie Matthews is a celebrated broker, mentor, keynote speaker, and best-selling author with over 24 years of real estate experience. She is the driving force behind the Latinas in Real Estate book series, now three volumes strong, amplifying the voices of Latina professionals across the industry.  ·         Jackie Castanera serves as the Assistant Sales Manager at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, overseeing Chicago's West region in Oak Park. Committed to helping agents and clients thrive, Jackie is not only an accomplished real estate leader but also a passionate community advocate who draws from her rich family legacy of business leadership. ·         Ileana Rojas Saldana is the co-founder and president of United Latinas, a respected leadership coach, and a DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) trailblazer. Through United Latinas, she strives to empower Latinas by elevating their leadership, visibility, and voice, offering resources such as book series (Extraordinary Latinas), public speaking programs, and community chapters nationwide.  ·         Ellie Sance is an attorney and the founder of ES Law, where she serves as a trusted bilingual advocate for her clients throughout real estate transactions. As a Latina in the male-dominated field of law, she cites the importance of being comfortable with discomfort, communicating with confidence, and standing her ground while also remaining open and respectful.  Overcoming Barriers and Shaping Legacies ·         Each guest delves into the challenges faced as Latinas in often male-dominated and unwelcoming environments.  ·         They share strategies for overcoming self-doubt, combating stereotypes, and reclaiming their voices.  ·         The power of mentors, community, and staying prepared emerges as recurring themes, with each guest highlighting key individuals who fueled their confidence and ambition. Defining Leadership and Legacy  ·         For Maggie, leadership is about being the mentor she never had. As the daughter of immigrant parents and the oldest of four, she often had to figure things out on her own. Her proudest moments come not only from personal recognition, but also from helping countless women find their confidence and achieve their goals. ·         Jackie views leadership as embodying preparation, confidence, and authenticity. She has learned that respect is earned through consistency and readiness. For her, legacy is about perseverance—proving doubters wrong, uplifting her daughters with her story, and continuing the entrepreneurial spirit passed down from her family. ·         Ellie defines leadership as having the courage to take risks, speak up, and claim space even in male-dominated industries. Her legacy is rooted in the decision to leave big law, establish her own firm, and build a career on her own terms. She believes in leading by example, showing that success comes from self-trust, resilience, and turning discomfort into growth. ·         For Ileana, leadership means reclaiming the voice she once lost in the corporate world and helping other women do the same. She believes legacy is not just about rising individually but about bringing others along—creating communities where Latinas can be seen, heard, and supported.  Favorite Books, Podcasts, and Quotes  ·         Ellie Sance: o    Mantra/Quote: Trust yourself, speak up, and take up space. As she put it, “If you're wrong, the worst that happens is you learn something and you do it gracefully and you own it. And if you're right, then you lead.” ·         Jackie Castanera: o    Mantra/Advice: Take risks, and don't be afraid to step forward even when uncertain. She emphasized the importance of being passionate, giving back to your community, and finding that intersection between your work and your passions. ·         Ileana Rojas Saldana: o    Mantra/Quote: “Believe in the power of your voice.” She's built her life and coaching around this idea, focusing on helping women own and elevate their voices and presence. ·         Maggie Matthews: o    Book: She recommends Mel Robbins' book, “The Let Them Theory,” saying it's incredibly helpful for mindset and personal development. She also mentioned Mel Robbins' other books, “The Five Second Rule” and “The High Five Theory,” as impactful. o    Podcast: She highlighted Mel Robbins' podcast as the number one podcast right now and highly recommended it. o    Quote/Mantra: Maggie reflected on the idea that “our lives are our chapters, and we are the authors of our best-selling books, and everybody's story is very, very important.” When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact. So, let's build each other up and shine brighter than the sun.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Ari Galper, the world's #1 authority on trust-based selling and creator of the One Call Sale methodology and Ari AI, an AI-powered sales coaching platform built on decades of proven frameworks. Together, they explore why traditional relationship-building and persuasion tactics often fail in today's crowded marketplace—and what tech leaders can do instead.Ari shares how to transition from solution-centric pitching to problem-centric diagnosing, helping prospects see the cost of inaction before presenting a solution. He offers powerful language patterns and mindset shifts that compress long sales cycles into a single conversation, without pressure or chasing leads. Listeners will hear real-world stories, including Ari's personal turning point that inspired him to build a global movement around truth and trust in sales.Whether you're a founder, executive, or sales leader, this episode will help you rethink your approach to business growth—moving from transactional selling to creating deep trust that drives long-term success.TakeawaysTrust-building, not persuasion, is the foundation of modern sales.Stop selling pre-sale—diagnose problems first, like a doctor with a patient.The cost of inaction (COI) is critical: help prospects see the risk of staying with the status quo.Compressing the sales cycle into one call creates clarity and commitment without pressure.Relationship-building pre-sale often backfires; it can put you in the “friend zone.”Avoid using the phrase “follow-up”; ask for feedback instead to uncover the truth.Silence is a powerful tool—let prospects talk first and reveal their core issues.Clarity is the true value you provide, not your product demo or case studies.Create cultural change in sales teams by teaching trust-based frameworks, not scripts.Use trust-based language to keep prospects on your calendar and avoid chasing ghosts.Personal transparency and authenticity—like Ari's lessons from his son Toby—make you more effective.Market to the problems you solve, not your solutions, to stand out in a noisy world.Chapters00:00 Intro & Why Trust-Based Selling Matters in Tech01:30 The Shift: From Product-Centric to Problem-Centric03:15 Cost of Inaction: The Real Sales Trigger04:55 The One Call Sale Framework Explained06:40 Trust vs. Relationship Building08:20 Real Story: Why “Great Meetings” Don't Equal Sales10:40 Diagnosing Over Delivering: Coaching Case Study13:15 Ari's Sales Call Script (Doctor Analogy Breakdown)15:00 The Birth of Ari AI and What Makes It Unique18:00 How Leaders Role-Play and Write Better Emails with AI20:00 Difference Between Fact-Finding and Trust Questions21:40 Never Use “Follow Up” Again Use This Instead24:30 Building Culture Without Falling into the Friend Zone26:20 Sales Teams Need Interventions, Not Programs28:00 Avoiding Bad Business: Qualifying for Urgency30:00 Ari's Aha Moment: The Muted Sales Call That Changed Everything33:30 Why “Being Professional” Still Lost the Deal35:15 Favorite Book: 80/20 Sales & Marketing36:00 Why Ari Writes a New Book Every Quarter37:20 Writing Problem-Centric Cold Emails That Cut Through Noise39:00 Personal Wisdom from Ari's Son, Toby40:10 Final Advice: Trust is the New CurrencyAri Galper's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/arigalper/https://www.youtube.com/@ari_galperhttps://www.instagram.com/ari_galperhttps://x.com/arigalperAri Galper's Website:https://unlockthegame.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Chris Hallberg, entrepreneur, business coach, and former military and police leader, known for creating the Business Sergeant Leadership Philosophy. Chris brings decades of experience transforming teams, sharpening execution, and implementing EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) to help companies achieve breakthrough performance.From his formative years in the Army National Guard and law enforcement to his career as a sought-after business coach, Chris shares powerful insights into leadership, accountability, and the non-negotiables that separate thriving organizations from stagnant ones. He discusses why the best companies are unafraid to make tough personnel decisions, the importance of “re-enlisting” your team every 90 days, and how to kill problems decisively rather than admiring them in endless meetings.Listeners will hear candid stories from Chris' journey, his philosophy on curating the right people in the right seats, and practical lessons from his book The Business Sergeant's Field Manual: Military-Grade Business Execution Without the Yelling and Push-Ups. If you're a leader looking to build elite teams, create accountability without politics, and drive results with clarity, this conversation is packed with strategies to elevate your leadership game.TakeawaysMilitary and police leadership taught Chris the value of learning from both the best and worst leaders—and applying those lessons to business.Elite teams are built by curating the right people, not trying to “fix” the wrong ones.Commitment is key: employees should symbolically “re-enlist” every 90 days to stay aligned with company goals.Healthy conflict is essential; if team members can't speak the truth, accountability and results will collapse.Hiring should focus on slow-to-hire, quick-to-fire practices, supported by assessments that ensure cultural and role fit.Chris' “three winners, three losers” framework highlights how keeping the wrong people hurts individuals, teams, and future opportunities.Middle managers (sergeants) are critical bridges between leadership and frontline teams; they must be empowered to hire and fire.Moving goalposts erode accountability—leaders must set clear deal breakers and stick to them.Compensation should reflect high expectations: hire in the 75th percentile, expect 90th percentile performance.Always be recruiting—maintain a pipeline of talent by networking, even with competitors' top performers.New hires provide fresh perspectives; leaders should actively solicit feedback in their first weeks.Chapters00:00 Intro & Guest Welcome01:15 Lessons from Military & Police Leadership03:00 Commitment and Sacrifice in Team Building05:15 Applying Military Principles to Business Growth07:25 The 90-Day Re-Enlistment Concept09:30 Accountability and Volunteer Mindsets13:55 Curating the Right People vs. Fixing the Wrong Ones18:05 Decisiveness and Killing Problems Quickly21:20 The Fire Triangle and Root-Cause Problem Solving23:30 Healthy Conflict, Commitment, and Accountability28:20 Hiring Practices: Slow to Hire, Quick to Fire30:35 The Three Winners and Three Losers Framework35:15 Empowering Middle Managers (Sergeants)38:40 Lessons from The Business Sergeant's Field Manual42:00 Getting to the Next Level with the Right Team44:15 Favorite Books and Closing Reflections46:00 Outro & Key TakeawaysChris Hallberg's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-hallberg-01516315/https://www.facebook.com/chrishallberg09/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Ever wondered how growing up between worlds can actually make you see your own culture more clearly? This conversation with Dr. Holly Berkley Fletcher flips the script on what it means to be a missionary kid—not just as someone with wild stories or an identity crisis, but as a kind of secret decoder for understanding white evangelicalism's grip on American politics. There's a moment here where a single high school banquet in Kenya, complete with a Confederate flag, opens up a whole hidden history most of us never learned in Sunday school. What if the very things you thought were just “normal” missionary experiences are actually the missing puzzle pieces for understanding the rise of Christian nationalism today? Stick around, because the connections Holly draws between global childhoods and the current culture wars in the U.S. will surprise you—and might even change how you see your own story. In this episode, you will be able to: Explore how white evangelicalism shapes political landscapes and influences key decisions that affect society. Discover the unique role missionary kids play in decoding the complexities of evangelical culture worldwide. Understand the challenges third culture kids face as they navigate identity, belonging, and faith across different worlds. Trace the historical roots of Christian nationalism to see how it impacts modern cultural and political conversations. My special guest is Dr. Holly Berkley Fletcher Holly Berkley Fletcher is an author and historian who really knows what it means to live between worlds. Raised in Kenya as the daughter of Southern Baptist missionaries, Holly attended Rift Valley Academy and grew up balancing both her American roots and the culture around her. Her background extends far beyond childhood, though—she earned a PhD in American Studies, taught at the university level, and later worked as a CIA analyst specializing in Africa.

What if success isn't about working harder or even more achievement, but about how we feel day to day? In this episode, Mike Winnet invites us to reconsider the very stories we tell about ambition and achievement. The culture around entrepreneurship often creates illusions; mirages shimmering in a desert of social media noise. Mike challenges us to step beyond these distractions and ask: What if the real path is serene, sane, and sustainable? This episode reveals how transforming our metrics for success can free us from the endless hustle, empowering us to craft meaningful, autonomous lives. Recognize the paradigm shift from chasing fame to finding clarity. Choose values and success metrics that reflect your true self. Embrace responsibility as a gateway to freedom, not burden. --- COMPETITION - 2 months of free coaching Get mindset or business coaching from Sam.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with the legendary NFL coach and Hall of Famer, Dick Vermeil—a Super Bowl champion, Rose Bowl champion, and one of the most respected leaders in football history. Known for orchestrating one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history with the St. Louis Rams, Coach Vermeil shares the leadership principles that drove his career—from the gridiron to the vineyards of Vermeil Wines.This episode dives deep into the human side of leadership: how to build authentic trust, lead with empathy while demanding excellence, and foster strong cultures even during losing seasons. Coach reflects on inviting players into his home, balancing tough decisions with personal care, and the power of connection in high-stakes environments. He also explores delegation, hiring with integrity, and adapting leadership in a remote, modern world.Whether you're leading a sports team or scaling a startup, Coach Vermeil's timeless lessons on character, consistency, and heart will leave you rethinking what it means to lead well. Bonus: Don't miss the story of how he transitioned from football to winemaking—and what it taught him about purpose after peak success.TakeawaysTrust is built through consistent, authentic care—not performance alone.Bringing team members into your personal life can strengthen professional commitment.Great leadership requires balancing high expectations with emotional intelligence.Delegation is essential for growth—you can't scale by doing everything yourself.Culture is most important when you're losing, not just when you're winning.Business leaders should look beyond resumes to truly assess character and capability.Leadership isn't just innate—it can be taught if someone has the desire to grow.Making tough personnel decisions is part of protecting the team's greater mission.Even after retiring from football, purpose and service can evolve into new ventures.The best leaders continue learning, growing, and leading with integrity.Legacy is measured by the impact you have on others—often decades later.Chapters00:00 Welcome & Coach Vermeil's Legendary Career02:45 Building Trust Through Authentic Care05:30 Balancing Tough Love and Compassion07:20 Handling Players Who Don't Step Up10:30 Inviting Players Into His Home14:00 Why Relationships Deepen Commitment17:15 Delegation and Scaling Leadership20:15 Hiring, Referencing & Truth in Interviews24:45 Leading in a Remote World25:50 Is Leadership Innate or Teachable?28:35 Keeping Culture Strong During Losing Seasons33:00 From Gridiron to Vineyard: The Vermeil Wines Story41:00 The Hard Truth Leaders Must Hear46:00 Making Difficult Cuts with Compassion49:00 Coach's Favorite Book & Final Wisdom51:00 Closing Remarks & Toast to LeadershipResources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright
