Podcast appearances and mentions of gene rivers

Today on the show Rosetta has a kōrero with Gene Rivers about his work on the new EP from La Coco INTO THE LIGHT. She also chats to Frank Booker about Club Festivus 2024, and Dr Sharon McIver about what's changed since her 2007 thesis WaveShapeConversion for Audio Culture! Whakarongo mai nei! 

House, groove, and Samoan-Māori soulstress La Coco has today shared her shining new EP INTO THE LIGHT - alongside a brand new single ‘Follow Me (The Remake)'! Fresh off the Powerstation stage performing alongside Nathan Haines earlier this month, the Tāmaki Makaurau-based star is sharing her warm and radiant new collection of songs. Oozing deep pockets of house groove, dreamy vocals, and a fusion of old-school RnB, soul and gospel inspired by the Detroit sound - La Coco is taking Aotearoa electronic music to the next level with her new EP INTO THE LIGHT.  “The house influences bring a sense of movement and rhythm, while the gospel-RnB vocals offer depth and emotion,” says La Coco. “INTO THE LIGHT is energetic and spiritual, capturing moments of connection, reflection, and celebration - making the EP feel like an intimate journey of faith, love, and unity.” Already, La Coco (Latoia Sasa-Tepania) has made some serious waves across Aotearoa - she's released three EPs, received the 2020 Waiata Māori music award Best RnB Album for OUT OF TIME, and she's had several Pacific Music Award nominations. Not to mention her notorious collaborations with the aforementioned Polynesian Hip Hop legend POETIK, as well as Atjazz, and more.  Made with the support of NZ on Air, today's EP continues La Coco's impressive run of collaborations - with the artist working alongside DJs, producers and arrangers Gene Rivers and Matt Thorburn to bring the project to life. The process began in Gene's home studio, before the trio headed to No Filter Studio in Grey Lynn, with engineering and mastering from Christian Mausia.  “This project represents who we are as a unit,” says Gene. “Faith, community and a passion for soulful underground music coming together!” Join the Whānau on Instagram, Facebook & Tik Tok.

On this episode, Dana talks with Gene Rivers about the current state of the industry, and his advice for navigating it. Gene breaks down how we are in a shift, but we are not in a crash.  He discusses how no matter what shift happens in the market, there will always be people who have to buy and sell their homes, so the trick is focusing on possible leads who know they want to or have to move.  He shares his tactic for helping clients come to their own cinclusions about the market, so you don't have to be the bearer of bad news.  He explains his approach to geographic farming, and why he thinks it is an invaluable part of your business.  He also discusses the MREA model in regards to how to effectively build a team.

Is your work-life balance aligned so that you can live the life you desire? Are you surrounding yourself with high level people that support the path to your success and life you envision? If you want to learn more about establishing balance, reducing stress, and living your good life by working and connecting with motivated and talented people, listen to episode 11. In my conversation with Gene Rivers, he shares his journey with me to where he's at today;31 years in the business, and how he was able to recover and upscale his real estate businesses after the devastation of hurricanes in the 2000's. Gene hasn't lost a single business. I am truly fascinated with his story, as I too went through similar hard times in my business after my town flooded in 2016. I remember listening to Gene talk on Geoff's podcast, The One Thing back in 2017. This conversation changed the way I think about being a business owner and the possibilities to create the life I desire. I've learned that time is the most valuable thing and it is crucial how we spend it. I find value in my conversation with Gene because he helps me understand better how I can be more intentional with my choices and making sure they're aligned with my vision. Listen in to episode eleven as Gene and I go a little deeper into the Quantum Leap. This changed my perspective on the seasons of life and the importance of keeping up with the things that are important now while leaving the rest, so that I can establish balance, success, and ultimately create the life that I want to live. We discuss how Gene manages his work dynamic by leading others through accountability, how he is able to attract high level employees to create opportunities, growth and success, and how he curates conversations so that people can continue to continuously grow and up their game in the world of real estate and business ownership. I know I left this conversation with inspiration, and valuable takeaways that I can't wait to implement in my life and vision for The Mentee. I am grateful for the opportunity to help like minded people on the path to their good life by exposing them to these conversations, new ideas, opportunities and connections!

If you are hitting a ceiling of achievement in your life, then you are missing a person – either in the form of a mentor or leverage.   Today we are focusing on the leverage side; the people who can take things off of your plate so that you can focus on the 20% work that will allow you to achieve extraordinary results.   In episode 50, we talked to today's guest, Gene Rivers, about how he and his wife run nine successful businesses, while still finding time to vacation four months out of the year and devote time to their family every day. Gene is only able to do this because he leverages the people around him and coaches them to achieve more – and today he shares how you can do that too.     The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: After you listen to the episode, take a moment to reflect on these questions:   – What are you currently doing that's helping your people achieve their life goals – and what are you doing that's stopping your people from achieving their goals?   – Many of us want to be liked, and because of that, we avoid tough conversations that should happen with the people in our world. Are you contributing to their goals, or are you contaminating them by allowing them to remain in your world when it's not the right fit?   – Are you clear on what the standards for performance in your organization are? Are you bringing focus and accountability to the actions and metrics that need to be completed to achieve the goal?   – Finally, what is the ONE thing you can do that will allow you to show up as a better leader and coach your people to their possibilities?   In this episode you will learn... [7:50] Why you need empire builders to your team (and how you can identify them). [15:25] How you can leverage a weekly checkup to create more accountability. [28:30] How you can set everyone in your team up for success (and how you can help people who aren't succeeding).   Links & Tools From This Episode Connect with Gene at GeneRivers.info Do you want a model for weekly accountability?

Today's guest, Gene Rivers, understands how anyone can achieve the work-life balance they deserve. He and his wife run nine successful businesses while still finding time to vacation four months out of the year and devote time to their family every day. In this episode, Gene will teach you how you can get anything you want if you're intentional with your time and willing to focus on the most important work.   The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: If you aren't where you want to be, or have hit a ceiling, you need accountability. Who is the mentor, coach, or consultant that you can go to for help? If you don't have someone, seek them out. Wanting to change won't make you change – someone holding you accountable to change might.   In this episode you will learn... [4:40] How you can create your ideal life with this ONE mindset shift. [8:30] Why you always need to be intentional with your time (and what it sounds like to have completely focused mindset).
