All it takes is one (yes, ONE!) real estate deal to change your life and jumpstart your path to financial freedom. You could stop after just one, but more often than not, that first deal opens the door to even bigger opportunities, allowing you to build wealth, create more passive income streams, and finally reach financial independence. Every successful real estate investor has had that one deal that set off a domino effect, enabling them to build wealth. We're sharing ours today so you can repeat them! Joining Dave are Garrett Brown and Matt Faircloth, two investors from different backgrounds, strategies, and parts of the country. But both had real estate deals that propelled them forward toward financial freedom. Dave also had a killer real estate deal (only his second deal ever!) that significantly increased his standard of living. We'll share how Garrett made $50,000 (tax-free!) on a repeatable first real estate deal anyone in any area can try. Matt shares how he was able to scale up his portfolio fast when he realized he didn't need to provide the money for his down payments and renovations. Finally, Dave shares the second deal he ever did that upgraded his life permanently and why he does not “sacrifice” to achieve financial freedom faster.  In This Episode We Cover The real estate deals that defined our investing careers (and how they propelled us to financial freedom) The easiest real estate investment for beginners (make $50K+ tax-free!)  Using other people's money to invest in real estate? Why you don't need to have the down payment  How to live for free and speed up your timeline to financial independence like Dave Why you should tell everyone you know that you invest in real estate  And So Much More!

There are still real estate deals even in 2025. To prove it, we're taking three real (on-market!) deals and analyzing them three ways: as a long, medium, and short-term rental to see which will have the highest cash flow. All of these properties are around or under the median home price in the US and have at least one strategy that makes them profitable, even in 2025 with today's high interest rates. To help run the deal analysis, Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast and Garrett Brown from BiggerStays join us to crunch the numbers. You're probably thinking, “Short-term rentals always make more than long-term rentals!” but that isn't exactly the case. With the added expense of short-term rental management, some deals may work MUCH better as a long or medium-term rental. We've even got some bonus strategies to share to boost your rental property profits, like renting-by-the-room to get even more revenue and subdividing your lot so you can sell it and pay off your rental faster (more cash flow!). These deals still work in 2025, and today, we're sharing exactly where we found them.  In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property as a short, medium, and long-term rental  The one overlooked cost you should ALWAYS account for on a short-term rental  A sneaky tactic to get extra cash if you're on a BIG lot  Using the “coliving” (rent-by-the-room) strategy to get even more rent every month  Why short-term rental regulations are a good thing for investors  And So Much More!

Short-term rentals offer many opportunities for creativity. Creating a stand-out property can be the key to building a lucrative business and memorable guest experiences. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Garrett Brown, a resident short-term rental expert for BiggerPockets. Garrett is responsible for many of the STR emails from BiggerPockets and is an expert in short-term rentals, Airbnb, and glamping. Jonathan and Garrett start their conversation by exploring the lure of short-term rentals and what differentiates the outstanding from the okay. Garrett outlines why a personal touch will always win, the three-year cycle it often takes to create a profitable STR business model, and the challenges of outsourcing communication with guests. You'll hear why it's always a good idea to ask friends to stay at your STR and “test” it before offering it to guests, the growing popularity of glamping, and how determining who your avatar is before you start can be critical to success. As they wrap up, Jonathan and Garrett share the importance of being transparent about the amenities and drawbacks of a property, the impact of reviews on a property's performance, and partnering with local businesses to offer various packages for guests. Short-term rentals aren't for everyone, but for those with a creative streak and a knack for crafting unique guest experiences, they can be a lucrative and fun creative outlet.

Will these cities become the best real estate markets of 2025? Norada Real Estate Investments, a turnkey real estate provider, thinks so. So today, we brought back data analyst Austin Wolff and short-term rental expert Garrett Brown to give their takes on the markets Norada is calling some of the hottest for this year. Some make complete sense to us, but we're a bit cautious of others. That being said, the number one market on the list is one we can ALL agree with. Austin and Garrett are on today to give both a long-term and short-term rental perspective. Some of these cities show tremendous economic growth, but will that be enough for an Airbnb to succeed in the area?

Plus, the number one market on the list is getting us all very excited.

Want to find out what it is and how he did it? You don't want to miss this one! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast!

What do men really want in relationships? It's not always what you think. In this episode, we uncover the surprising truths about what men desire from their partners. Beyond physical attraction or sexual chemistry, men value clarity, partnership, and emotional connection. In this eye-opening episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the unspoken truths - straight from 3 horses' mouths - the owners of Fly Supply Clothing  about what men desire in a partner. Spoiler alert: it's not just about looks or sexual chemistry.   Men want more than just surface-level connections—they crave clarity, partnership, and feeling genuinely wanted, too. And, if he's not providing clarity, he might not see you as the one, and that's a truth we all need to hear. This episode dives deep into how men value partners who share their journey as co-pilots, not just passengers.   SPONSORED BY: Just Thrive Now Expansion Program, visit to learn more: http://justthrivenow.com   KEY POINTS & QUOTABLES: If a man avoids providing clarity about your relationship, it's a sign he may not truly want to invest in you. Feeling desired and appreciated is just as important to men as it is to women.

What makes a “good” real estate deal in 2025 and beyond? How much of a return should your investment property be producing? Are real estate returns good enough in this tough housing market to beat out other performing assets like stocks? Today, we're sharing our exact investing criteria, defining what makes a “good” real estate deal to us, and how you can use key indicators to identify deals worth the effort. We're breaking this episode into a few parts as we touch on the primary types of investment properties: long-term rentals, short-term rentals, and house flips. Garrett Brown is our resident vacation rental expert and shares how he's routinely getting twenty percent (or greater) returns by reinvesting in his short-term rentals. Next, familiar face James Dainard discusses the unbelievable house-flipping returns he nets, but are they worth the risk? Finally, Dave shares the metric he goes after when investing in long-term, low-risk rental properties. Plus, we'll share when it's a better use of your money to reinvest in your current properties vs. going out and buying new ones! In This Episode We Cover: What makes a “good” real estate deal in 2025 and beyond The massive return James is making with house flipping (and the HUGE risks he takes) Garrett's unique short-term rentals pulling in twenty percent (or higher!) average returns  IRR (internal rate of return) explained and why everyone should calculate this when investing When to buy more properties vs. reinvest back into your performing portfolio And So Much More!

“Glamping” investments have slowly become massive money-makers in the real estate industry. What used to be someone setting up a tent and potentially a portable toilet for guests looking to get into nature has now become a full-blown luxury business that travelers will pay good money to get a taste of. One large glamping property allowed today's investor, Garrett Brown, to replace his music producer job and reach levels of success most short-term rental investors can only dream of. Garrett owns a ten-acre piece of land in a lake town outside Houston, Texas. Even though many non-Texans won't be familiar with the area, local travelers flock to it to escape the big city. Since buying the property, Garrett has made some serious expansions, such as building cabins (and even geo-domes) with WiFi, running water, and the creature comforts many of us don't want to live without. Plus, Garrett is doing it all while getting most of his bookings directly from social media. That's right, he has (mostly) cut out Airbnb and other middlemen booking platforms, so he keeps much more of the profit and even gets his guests to upgrade with “add-on packages” that make the deal even sweeter. You can do it, too, but you'll need to hear how Garrett does it in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: Why “glamping” has become such a popular (and profitable) version of short-term rental investing The “sixty-thirty-ten” rule that helps you identify the best areas for short-term rentals  Leaving your career to build income streams that don't take up all of your time How to get seventy to eighty percent of your guest bookings through direct booking Why you should offer your guests “add-on packages” that help make YOU more revenue The reason you should “start small” when building out your glamping sites And So Much More!

They are known for their collaborative work on "The Unsold Mindset: Redefining What It Means to Sell," a book that challenges traditional sales paradigms and emphasizes authenticity, emotional intelligence, and a human-centric approach to selling. Both are also adjunct professors at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business, where they teach courses on sales and entrepreneurship. Their work focuses on redefining what it means to be successful in sales by aligning personal values with professional goals.SHOW SUMMARYIn this Selling from the Heart podcast episode, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy explore the importance of authenticity and emotional intelligence in sales with guests Garrett Brown and Colin Coggins, co-authors of 'The Unsold Mindset.' They discuss how the greatest salespeople differentiate themselves through a mindset focused on human connection rather than traditional sales tactics. Key topics include the value of connecting with prospects on a personal level, leveraging emotional intelligence, and maintaining a human-centric approach amidst increasing technological advancements. Practical insights, such as the 'three things you can love' exercise, provide actionable advice for sales professionals looking to build trust and meaningful relationships.KEY TAKEAWAYSAuthenticity in Sales: Authenticity isn't just a buzzword; it's the foundation of successful, trust-based selling. The best salespeople are those who embrace their imperfections and show up as their true selves.Mindset Over Techniques: The greatest salespeople succeed not because of their tactics, but because of their mindset. They genuinely care about their prospects and are focused on adding value rather than simply closing deals.Relatability and Connection: Building strong connections with prospects starts with finding common ground and showing genuine interest in them as people, not just as potential customers.The Power of Vulnerability: Being open about your imperfections can help prospects see themselves in you, fostering trust and deeper relationships.Transformational vs. Transactional Sales: Sales should be seen as a transformational experience where both parties benefit and grow, rather than just a transaction.QUOTES"The best sellers on the planet just care differently than everybody else.""You can't change your world or anyone else's world if you can't move people, and the greatest salespeople do this in the most authentic way possible.""If we're in the people business, then you have to give a rip about people in many different ways.""The greatest salespeople are great because of what they're thinking, not just what they're doing."FOLLOW THE CONVERSATIONGarrett Brown's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/garrettjbrown/Colin Coggins's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colincoggins/Learn more about Darrell and Larry:Darrell's LinkedIn: Darrell AmyLarry's LinkedIn: Larry LevineWebsite: Selling from the HeartGet the New Book That Will Help You Sell More...

The Unsold Mindset: Redefining What It Means to Sell by Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown ABOUT THE BOOK: This Wall Street Journal bestseller is captivating readers of Adam Grant, Dan Pink, and James Clear and has been called "a life-changing book as much about life as it is about selling." What if the greatest salespeople on the planet are the opposite of who you think they are?   Everyone sells, every day. It's why the most successful people are so good at selling themselves, their ideas, or their products. Yet when people hear the word "sales" they think of some version of the overly confident, manipulative, "don't-take-no-for-an-answer" stereotype.  Because of these misperceptions, when they find themselves in a situation where they need to sell, they feel compelled to put on the persona of a "good salesperson."  But there's a disconnect between who we think good salespeople are and who they actually are. In any room, they're not the most self-confident, they're the most self-aware. They're not the most sociable, they're the most socially aware. And they don't succeed despite obstacles, they succeed because of obstacles.   Colin Coggins & Garrett Brown sought out some of the most successful people from all walks of life, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, doctors, trial lawyers, professional athletes, agents, military leaders, artists, engineers, and countless others in between in hopes of understanding why they're so extraordinary.  They found that as different as all these incredible people were, they all had an eerily similar approach to selling. It didn't matter if they were perceived as optimists or pessimists, logical or emotional, introverted or extraverted, jovial or stoic - they were all unsold on what it meant to sell and unsold on who people expected them to be.   The Unsold Mindset reveals a counterintuitive approach to not just selling, but life.  This book is not about "building rapport," "objection handling," or "trial closes." It's a journey toward an entirely new mindset — because the greatest sellers on the planet aren't successful because of what they do, they're successful because of what they think.   Being a good person and a good salesperson aren't mutually exclusive. The Unsold Mindset will change the way you think about selling and the way you think about yourself. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown are long-time sales leaders, practitioners, teachers, and best friends. They met at software startup Bitium, which they helped lead to an acquisition by Google.  They teach the popular course they created, "Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs," at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business. They are also investors, corporate advisors, and co-founders of Agency18, a firm that helps mission-driven companies adopt the Unsold Mindset.  Sought after as keynote speakers and guest lecturers, they love connecting with audiences from diverse industries, professions, and backgrounds and showing them that it's possible to successfully sell without being someone you're not.

On this special episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with the inventor of the Steadicam: Garrett Brown (YENTL, THE SHINING, BOUND FOR GLORY). He not only invented the tool but also frequently operated it, breaking the new system in on MARATHON MAN, ROCKY, and BOUND FOR GLORY in a single summer in the mid-1970s. With just a high-school level of understanding of physics, Garrett was able (after a long, isolated week in a remote hotel) to think through the fundamental design of the Steadicam which is still used today—50 years after its invention. We learn about the biomechanics of the human body that informed the design of the Steadicam and of the four key aspects of the device that isolate the camera from its operator. Garrett later recounts the day he first used the prototype on BOUND FOR GLORY (its first ever use in a feature film no less!) and how the late cinematographer Haskell Wexler fought for its inclusion. Garrett also shares how Stanley Kubrick utilized the unique properties of the Steadicam while filming THE SHINING to move the camera “like a ghost” through the empty halls of the Overlook Hotel and chase the indefatigable child actor Daniel Lloyd across miles of carpet. Few people can claim to have changed the way we make movies, and Garrett is one of them. - This episode is sponsored by the Dallas Film Commission Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission

We will learn: The secret sauce behind the mindset of great sellers and the two pivotal questions that kickstart their journey. The intriguing concept of "The Unsold" and the lessons we can learn from them. How intentional ignorance can be a surprising game-changer in your sales strategy. Have you ever stopped to consider what it truly means to sell? Most people see sales as a necessary evil, a grueling task to be endured. They're stuck in the status quo, viewing sales as a zero-sum game where one person wins, and the other loses. But what if we could redefine what it means to sell? Whether you're a teacher inspiring students, a parent encouraging your child, or a friend offering advice, you're selling. You're selling ideas, beliefs, and possibilities. And the better you are at it, the more impact you can make. That's exactly what we're going to explore in this episode. We're going to dive into the concept of the "Unsold Mindset" with Garrett Brown and Colin Coggins. They're here to challenge our preconceived notions about sales and show us how it can be a force for good, a tool for transformation. They've been on a quest, picking the brains of the best - CEOs, athletes, artists, you name it. And guess what? They all had a unique take on selling, breaking the mold of what we think a salesperson should be. They were all unsold on the traditional sales script and unsold on fitting into a box.

“Global health governance is not fit for purpose, and it doesn't represent a vast majority of global needs and wants and desires, and people on the ground and what's going to affect them. It gets captured.”Today I sit down with Garrett Brown, professor of global health policy at the University of Leeds. Brown has been working on strengthening health systems in the African context for decades.“You can talk about rights and freedoms, but none of those matter if you don't have good health. You can't exercise any of those things,” he says. “It's a fundamental part of what it means to be human and have any minimally decent life.”Brown and his research team were recently hired by the World Health Organization to determine whether its $31.1 billion plan for pandemic preparedness and response was justifiable, or even feasible.“The worry is that if you're asking nations to pony up roughly $26 billion, where are they going to find that money? They're going to find it from existing programs,” says Brown. “Indonesia has just basically suspended their polio program and moved those human resources into vaccines.”Brown is troubled by the high cost of the WHO's pandemic plan, which would require resources for basic health to decrease by 34 percent, and basic nutrition by 10 percent.“We saw this with malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, AIDS, reproductive health—that resources were being shifted from certain national budget lines into pandemic preparedness,” says Brown.

There are some things that have been part of society forever—like selling. And the art of persuasion. But how are those things changing in the wake of new technologies like automation and AI? Are these very human skills now obsolete—or more useful than ever?To figure that out, we thought we'd turn to Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown. They teach  Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs at USC Marshall School of Business, and they've written a new book,  THE UNSOLD MINDSET: Redefining What It Means to Sell. It's a great book that's helpful for people who sell, which is all of us. This book isn't just for people who have a career in sales. We spoke to Colin and Garett about the emotional mindset of great salespeople, if the qualities that make a good salesperson are changing, and the role that technology is playing in transforming sales—and if that's for the better or the worse.As always, we welcome your feedback.

Full show notes at www.LearningLeader.com Twitter/IG: @RyanHawk12   https://twitter.com/RyanHawk12 Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown are adjunct professors of entrepreneurship at USC's Marshall School of Business where they teach the popular class they created, “Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs. ” They are also authors, speakers, longtime sales professionals, and best friends who met while working at enterprise software startup Bitium, which they helped lead to an acquisition by Google. This odd couple first connected over their shared obsession with the importance of selling, and have made it their mission to uncover the unexpected and inspiring mindset of the highest-achieving sellers on the planet. The most impactful sales professionals are learners. They consume information and ask lots of questions that they are deeply curious to know the answers to. They don't go down the list of sales discovery questions. It's from a place of curiosity. "Noone has ever changed the world without moving people." That's sales. An abundance mindset — Collin was meeting with a new sales rep named Matt that worked for you at Bitium. Matt sat down on the couch and loved it. He asked who made it and Collin didn't know. So he flipped over the cushion, saw who made it, realized they were a potential customer and made a note in his phone to connect with them on LinkedIn and call them. Matt has an abundance mindset. "Great sellers see opportunity where others don't." World-Class sales professionals love the process. When making promotional hires/decisions, "create a culture that's not pulled up. It's pushed up."  When promoting someone to be a manager, look at those who are known to help others. They are pushed to management by the members of the team because they are so helpful. Being a “pathological optimist” — Colin told a story about taking the first flight with his whole family (wife Margot and two young boys) and despite the chaos of crying and trying to take care of young children, Colin loved it and told Margot "it would be a great story one day." She called him a pathological optimist (not meant as a compliment, but he took it as one). Act like a teammate, not a coach: Will Smith's manager, JL, told him to turn down a $10m offer for a movie called 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag because it didn't help them pursue Will's goal of being a big movie star. (Even though both of them didn't have any money at the time) The Partnership: “Colin, thank you for seeing something in a slightly insecure, overly analytical introvert and deciding to throw in with me.” The class they teach is called “Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs” Colin & Garrett don't teach a typical sales class focused how to “build rapport,” “handle objections,” or “ask for the close.” Instead, they help students understand why the most successful people on the planet aren't successful because of what they do, they're successful because of what they think. We all sell, every day. Sometimes it's ourselves, sometimes it's ideas, and sometimes it's products. We truly believe that the world would benefit if EVERYONE learned how to sell authentically, whether you're a "salesperson" or not. Great salespeople are not remembered for the statements they make, they're remembered for the questions they ask.  Ask better questions, get better results. As mindset guys, we get a little bit obsessed with one-on-ones when we lead teams, so we geek out when experts like Jeanne shed light on new questions to ask that can help bring out the best in other people. At some point a long time ago, someone studying great salespeople noticed they were mirroring the people they were talking to. So they started training salespeople to mirror the body language of their customers. One MAJOR problem... These great sellers weren't connecting with people because they were mirroring, they were UNCONSCIOUSLY mirroring people

In today's episode, we cover the unsold mindset with Colin Goggins and Garrett Brown. Colin and Garrett are sales leaders, teachers of the popular USC course Sales Mindset for Entrepreneurs, co-founders of Agency18, keynote speakers and guest lecturers, and the authors of The Unsold Mindset: Redefining What It Means to Sell. Sales can be brutal if you don't have the right mindset, so what makes the best salespeople so great, what is the one quality you should express in every interaction with a potential customer, and how do you build resilience to push through all the rejection?  What to Listen For Introduction – 0:00 What makes for a great salesperson and why don't the best salespeople consider themselves to be salespeople? Transformational vs Transactional Sales – 22:10 What is the difference between transformational and transactional sales and which one do customers prefer? Why is it a strength to be intentionally ignorant when meeting/speaking with customers? What is the most important quality you can express when interacting with a potential customer? Rejection and Resiliency – 34:18  What can you do to build resilience in sales so you don't get hung up on rejection? What is the difference between toxic positivity and pathological optimism and why is one off putting while the other is necessary to accomplish great things? Goal Setting – 56:32  How should you view and set goals so they help you rather than hinder you? How do you find a meaningful purpose in your work when you feel your work is meaningless? Salespeople are great connectors, and success in sales not only takes hard work but also the right mindset. Building resilience is key to sustaining energy in sales, so techniques like positive self-talk are incredibly important. By setting achievable goals and adopting motivation techniques like vision boards, you'll be able to tackle any challenges that arise in the workplace. Attitude is everything when it comes to finding purpose and passion in your work; no matter how mundane it may seem, every task can bring joy and meaning if you choose to make it worthwhile.  A Word From Our Sponsors Are you ready to take your career to the next level in 2023?

My guests today ask the question, “What if the greatest salespeople on the planet are the opposite of who you think they are?” Everyone sells, every day. It's why the most successful people are better than most at selling themselves, their ideas, or their products. Yet when people hear the word “sales” they think of […] The post 463: Redefining What It Means to Sell with Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown first appeared on Read to Lead Podcast.

Most of us will put up walls the moment we realize somebody is trying to sell something to us. Colin and Garrett noticed a stigma towards salespeople, that the general perception is they are pushy and manipulative.  “But when we ask people who they think of when they hear the greatest salesperson on the planet, the top two answers are Martin Luther King Jr. and Steve Jobs,” says Colin on this week's episode. They teach how to sell authentically, finding that people will buy from you based on your imperfections. They discuss leading with vulnerability and pathological optimism, being purpose-driven, and giving more than receiving.    Colin Coggins and Garrett Brown are the authors of The Unsold Mindset: Redefining What It Means to Sell, follow them on Instagram and Twitter @colinandgarrett.
