Ready to turn your dreams into reality? I'm sharing the gold-medal-worthy process I've developed for goal setting—yes, thanks to my Olympic experience! We're diving into how those lessons from the ice rink translate into creating goals that excite, challenge, and actually work. It's not about starting with big, overwhelming plans. Instead, I'll show you why starting small and building your process is the ultimate joy-bringing secret. I'll walk you through my favorite part of this journey—helping you create goals that light you up and guide you to your own rewarding moments. We're getting real about why understanding the "why" behind your goals is non-negotiable and how a purpose-driven mindset is the key to crushing it. Plus, I'll give you a hack that's helped me countless times: making a list of all the hard things you've already accomplished. Trust me, that confidence boost is everything when you hit tough times. We're also breaking down how to start with a goal that feels challenging yet realistic, ensuring it pushes you while keeping you motivated. And let's not forget, once you've nailed down that important, meaningful goal, it's all about jumping in and making it happen. This episode is your roadmap to setting goals that not only challenge you but also help you create the life you truly want.

Welcome back to CBG Radio! In Today's episode, we go over how our coaches get athletes to quit tracking macros. Tracking macros for every single meal is a HUGE gate for many would-be CrossFitters; It's annoying, it takes the joy out of food & eating, and it feels awful. We're gonna show you how our coaching model trains you to quit thinking about numbers, and start crushing WODs.00:00 - Intro00:30 - 24.2 Release & CrossFit Hiatus01:15 - Intro to CBG Training 02:00 - Difficulty in Being Consistent With Macro-Tracking02:50 - CBG Blueprint System06:00 - Relationship-Based Coaching08:15 - Getting Into an Argument With Layne Norton09:15 - Blueprint System Summary09:55 - Changing Blueprints Over Time10:24 - Guaranteeing Results11:00 - Deleting Tracking Apps11:45 - Booking a Call With CBG (Don't Be Scared!!)12:45 - XEndurance Sponsor13:15 - Benchmark Coffee Sponsor13:40 - Fueling For Quarterfinals14:30 - Focusing on Nutrition18:05 - Does it Matter What Time I Take Creatine?18:45 - Predictions For CrossFit Games 19:00 - Danielle Brandon Documentary & CFG Placement19:50 - Laura Horvath & Bethany Flores20:20 - Athletes Commitment to CrossFit20:50 - CFG Male Predictions21:45 - Outro__________________________The CBG Radio Team-Instagram: CBG InstagramJoin our FREE Nutrition Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/cbgnutritiontribeWant to lose body fat, build muscle, and look like you Crossfit?Book a call with US!XenduranceUse code “CBG15” for 15% offhttps://violetcoffeeco.comUse code “CBG” for 10% off

Today's expert guests, James and Laureta, are Superhosts with nine years of multimarket hosting experience. They started their short-term rental journey by renting out a bedroom in the apartment Laureta was living at the time – in Brooklyn – and together, they soon discovered their love of restoring historic buildings and dynamic properties.Of course, we ask Laureta about that first risky listing – two rooms in her own apartment in the early days of Airbnb – about launching and scaling their hosting business, and more, but the crux of our conversation falls on the harsh reality of New York City's newly implemented STR ban. Now, is it a total ban? No. James and Laureta still operate their listings as short-term rentals in New York City. It can be done, but you have to know your stuff (and be in the right building) to make it happen. James and Laureta show us the way.Tune in to get the skinny on hosting in the city, pre- and post- regulations, and how these two brilliant entrepreneurs have leveraged their ability to think ahead of the game on their way to building a short-term empire down the east coast.(00:01:29) #STRShareSunday: @hyggesonoma(00:06:00) Getting Into the New York (Hosting) State of Mind(00:15:57) Reimagining an Abandoned Bed-Stuy Space(00:24:43) The Community of Hosts & Hosting in NYC(00:29:21) Is This the End of Short-Term Rentals in New York?(00:32:19) Team Structure & Future Plans(00:40:59) NYC Housing Crisis vs. STR RegulationsResources:Visit thanksforvisiting.com/workshop to watch our Hosting Business Mastery Method workshop!Airbnb Essentials Checklist: hostchecklist.comInstagram: @jamesandlauretaAirbnb Profile: About James And Laureta#STRShareSunday: @hyggesonoma Thanks for Visiting is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:Relay | Go to https://relayfi.com/?referralcode=ThanksForVisiting for your FREE business banking account.Breezeway | Go to breezeway.io/tfv to claim your free implementation when you start a Breezeway account.Join us for our live, free, host masterclass and learn how to OWN your digital real estate!

The Business of Meetings – Episode 187 – How People and Culture Build Value with Aaron Bludworth We are delighted to be speaking with Aaron Bludworth today! He is a true thought leader who has massively impacted our industry! Until recently, Aaron was the CEO of Fern Expo. He joins us today to discuss his process of managing the company and selling it. He also shares his views on the future of the industry. Getting Into the Industry Aaron's initial introduction to the industry was largely accidental. While he was pursuing his education and working elsewhere, his uncle was working as an official contractor in the service sector of the industry. Aaron initially steered clear of the industry, even though his uncle kept mentioning all its potential opportunities. However, he eventually decided to try it out, thinking it would be a brief detour during his time in school. Yet, he is still there thirty-one years later! Joining Fern Aaron had been working for a private equity firm that recruited him when he started working at Fern. He joined Fern in 2008, initially as the Chief Operating Officer and eventually becoming the CEO due to the absence of a formal CEO. A while later, he found an investor, got a group of people together, and bought the firm. Sometime after, he took out the investor, leaving him with just the group of individuals within the firm. The Unique Culture of Fern Fern has a unique culture and history dating back 115 years. The company had a traditional image with a regional focus, and Aaron was committed to preserving the culture and the way the company focused on growth. However, it was challenging for him to find talent, customers, and acquisitions that aligned with the values and culture of the company. Balancing Culture and Corporate Consolidation Aaron feels concerned about the increasing corporatization of the industry and how that could impact personal relationships and innovation. He emphasizes the need for a mix of large and small players to maintain the innovative spirit of the industry and personal connections. Navigating the Pandemic and Prioritizing People Fern managed to weather the myriad of challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company was committed to its people and customers and focused on keeping employees engaged during difficult times. Their proactive approach included developing innovative solutions like Fern Health Check, which did vaccine and COVID testing to support their customers so they could resume their activities safely. The Speedy Recovery and Unexpected Growth The post-pandemic recovery of Fern exceeded all expectations. Aaron attributes their rapid rebound to customer loyalty, winning new business during the pandemic, and introducing innovative products. Despite all their initial challenges with labor and supply chain issues, Fern still managed to achieve record revenue in 2022. Navigating a Sale Process Aaron explains that emotional factors often come into play when selling a business, especially for sole proprietors. He cautions against entering the sale process with a specific monetary goal because that could lead to disappointment. Instead, he suggests that the timing should rely on having a viable, strong business and the right representatives in the market environment. Selling Fern Selling the business was a complex process. Aaron received offers from many potential buyers, including strategic and non-strategic buyers. He considered the long-term outlook in addition to the financial aspects of the business because he was looking for a buyer who would maintain the existing leadership team, treat customers well, and bring value to the table. While acknowledging the uncertainty of selling a business, Aaron aimed to set up a successful transition for his team and customers. Aaron's Thoughts in the Transition Period Between signing the letter of intent and closing the deal, his primary focus was on the impact the transition could have on his team and customers. He was concerned about ensuring a smooth transition for both parties and making the right decisions for the future of the business. The Ever-Changing Events Industry Aaron worries about excessive corporatization as the industry continues to evolve. He mentions the importance of maintaining a mix of players to preserve the unique character of the industry, emphasizing the need to keep innovators, thinkers, and passionate individuals involved to ensure its continued growth and vitality. He hopes that personal connections, community, and innovation will remain integral to the industry as it evolves and faces consolidation, stressing the importance of smaller and more personal businesses in driving success and maintaining the unique character of the industry. Life After Selling a Business During the post-sale period, business owners often struggle with maintaining a sense of purpose and finding direction after exiting their businesses. Maintaining a Work-life Balance Business owners should maintain balance between business and other aspects of their lives rather than allowing their companies to become the sole focus of their existence. Promoting Innovation and Passion Aaron underscores the need for the industry to keep innovators, thinkers, and passionate individuals involved to ensure its continued growth and vitality. Because of the positive impact of the events industry on his life and hopes he will remain connected to it.

This week, we have banking and the recent rise in government bond yields in focus. Mary Daly, president of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, tells us that the run-up in bond yields means the need for another interest rate hike is “diminished.” But with the September jobs report showing job growth remaining stronger than expected, and the Fed seemingly committed to keep interest rates high, what could that mean for three of the biggest banks, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citigroup, who are set to report earnings this week? And what could it mean for how they handle our money? Then, we're flying into Delta's earnings report, also expected this week, with analyst Sheila Kahyaoglu, who covers the stock for the investment bank Jefferies. How is Delta navigating through the rough skies of high fuel and maintenance costs and the recent controversial changes to its Skymiles program, and what does that say about the state of travel and consumer spending? Plus, we're looking ahead to this week's release of the new Taylor Swift “Eras Tour” concert movie. The movie industry has problems. Could the record-breaking artist's film – and a deal to distribute Beyonce's Renaissance concert movie too – help solve them, and provide AMC shareholders with a blockbuster profit?

That is something that Dan Templin realized as he matured as a business owner.This week, Dan enthusiastically tells his story of how his businesses boomed in number along with his discoveries on effective methods of doing so, like goal-setting and building personal development. Having his family in his mind as his motivation, he said, “Money is great, but I also want my freedom." So, from a traditional business owner— doing all the work, being there in person all the time, and making sure everything was perfect, he resorted to having a team and putting systems in place in his businesses instead.

QUOTABLE“I've learned to sit back and listen rather than speak; ask and not assume.” (Valeria) “The biggest lesson in asking a question is not asking just to ask it, but asking and waiting to listen to what has to be said.” (Valeria) “It's about creating space for transformation – asking or sharing something that might shift a perspective on life. You need space to process that.” (Chris) “You're going to touch people's ego when you try to teach them something. You're going to have doubt, fear, all these emotions that are very human and normal but that people don't talk about.” (Valeria) “Not all successful people know everything. Not all successful people are without fear or doubt. All of us have it. It's just how well can you manage it and move forward rather than stay stagnant and stuck?” (Valeria) “Not all gratitude given is gratitude heard. Gratitude … can sometimes come across as convenient, selfish or lazy.” (Chris) “The failures and bad moments can be a privilege to experience … (because) what you don't know can start eating away at you.” (Valeria) “Gratitude is just really good for business and it's really good for people. Because, at the end of the day, we aren't profit-making monster machines. We are humans and every human deserves to be loved, heard and valued.” (Chris) LINKS/FURTHER RESOURCES:More about Dr. Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages can be found here.Learn about mirroring and other communication techniques in Chris Voss's book, "Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It.""The Art of Impossible: A Peak Performance Primer," by Steven Kotler.Learn about how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works at this link.

Welcome and Introductions: Stephen Davis, a guest on our Tick Boot Camp Podcast, shares his experiences with Lyme disease and the frequency delivery program on the WAVE 1, using the proven science of bioenergetics. Co-hosting the special interview with Matt is Ali Moresco, a close friend and a prominent figure in the Lyme community. Getting Into the Weeds of Frequencies: Before diving into the details, we discuss the last podcast Ali co-hosted with Rich, featuring Professor Schneider from Stanford University. The discussion centered around the use of wearables in diagnosing and potentially treating Lyme disease. Stephen Davis's Background and Journey with Lyme Disease: Stephen shares his background growing up in tick-infested Saskatchewan, and how he discovered bioenergetics as a means to help with Lyme and tick-borne diseases. He shares the heartbreaking story of his daughter's struggle with undiagnosed Lyme disease and how this led him to research and develop frequency programs, designed to restore her health. Exploring Healing through Frequency Application: Stephen shares how his grandsons, previously burdened by Lyme disease, severe ADHD, and autism, experienced a transformative recovery. Through the innovative use of frequencies, their debilitating symptoms vanished, unveiling a window of opportunity to heal and overcome. The Birth of FREMEDICA and WAVE 1: Stephen explains the birth of FREMEDICA and the development of the WAVE 1 device, which harnesses the powers of bioenergetics. He shares how his first trial of the device resulted in significant improvements in his daughter's and grandchildren's health. How Frequencies Work for Wellness: Stephen describes how frequency application works by essentially helping the immune system recognize pathogens and kick into gear to eliminate them. His Frequency Support Program on WAVE 1 offers information designed to strengthen the body, allowing it to target and eliminate the harmful substances inside our cells. Dealing with Herxheimer Reactions: Stephen talks about Herxheimer reactions, a common symptom experienced by those undergoing treatment for Lyme disease. He discusses how FREmedica addresses this issue in their programs to help patients cope. The Power of Lyme Support Groups: Stephen shares his experiences in contacting Lyme support groups and offering devices for trial. He believes the proof of the program's effectiveness lies in the user's experiences and recovery. Addressing Concerns About Frequencies: Stephen clarifies the difference between harmful frequencies, such as those from 5G and Wi-Fi, and the wellness frequencies used in FREmedica's technology. He assures listeners that their frequency delivery system is designed to benefit and not harm the body. WAVE 1's 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee: Stephen talks about WAVE 1's program as a gradual progression towards wellness and their money-back guarantee policy. Their 30 Day return option demonstrates confidence in its effectiveness. Launch of WAVE 2: Stephen anticipates the launch of WAVE 2, an upgrade from the WAVE 1 device, with more functionalities. He shares his excitement about the launch and the potential it holds for helping more Lyme patients. FREmedica's Cost-Effective Solution: Stephen reflects on the cost of the devices and how it compares favorably to other practices like ozone therapy. He believes that the affordability and effectiveness of FREmedica's technology make it an excellent option for Lyme patients. Conclusion: Stephen closes the podcast by expressing his passion for helping Lyme patients and his commitment to continue improving FREmedica's technology. He extends his gratitude to the hosts and the listeners for their time and attention. Visit FREmedica's website for more information about bioenergetic wearable technology and its use of frequencies, along with the upcoming launch of Wave 2.

[00:00:47] John McGeown: Thank you for having me. [00:00:48] Sam Wilson: The pleasure is mine. John, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes to the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there? [00:00:56] John McGeown: Sure. I'm a Chicago born native. I went to Lane Tech for high school. I went to UIC for college. I was in the United States Navy for four years, from 1999 to 2003, had a very seasoned career. While I was in, I was an operation specialist, which basically means I was on board on the ship. We did, like, a lot of intelligence, so information gathering and processing and evaluating and a lot of that sort of transposed well into real estate. I started in real estate right when I got on the Navy in 2004. Started an apartment rentals and then slowly but surely as I unpeeled the onion back, I found that, you know, property management, sales and then investing was sort of the path for me. And those all kind of happened a few years apart. And today I own High Fidelity property management as well as High Fidelity Realty and about 12 investment properties. [00:01:52] Sam Wilson: Wow, that's a lot of moving pieces. So property management side of things. You guys manage existing assets to other people own, is that... [00:02:00] John McGeown: Sure. Third party. [00:02:01] Sam Wilson: Third party management and then also you have your own suite of rental properties. Is there one you prefer over the other? [00:02:08] John McGeown: Oh, man. That's a good question. I like property management, whether it's managing my buildings or managing buildings for other people. There's definitely a need for it. And the buildings, there's always stuff to do. The only constant is change. Things are always changing and I like that. It keeps me on my toes. [00:02:27] Sam Wilson: John, would you say that managing properties in Chicago is different maybe than what you see in the rest of the country? But I'm thinking of when I say that is maybe just the types of properties that you're managing as far as age, as far as style. It's a little bit different maybe than what you'd find, say in suburban Nashville. Is that fair? [00:02:46] John McGeown: That's a fair statement. Yeah. Most of the buildings we manage are a hundred years old, right, brick in varying conditions. Some are older and need a little more love. Some are older but have been renovated and are in really good shape. But Chicago has a very unique housing stock. In the sense that there's a lot of smaller multifamily. So we manage anything from 6 unit apartment buildings to 50-unit apartment buildings. And most of the stuff is brick. The weather changes here a lot, whereas other parts of the country, I think a lot of the housing stock is newer. A lot of it's with Hardie board or frame, and it seems like the weather is maybe a little more cooperative in other places, which makes it a little bit easier to manage. [00:03:29] Sam Wilson: What are some things that you would recommend investors look for if they're looking at Chicago as a market to invest in? Like, what are some things you said, man, here's a few items that I would say you really make sure you got to check off when taking a look at buildings. [00:03:44] John McGeown: Because of the weather and it being fall right now, and this being kind of my focus, finding properties where the seam is intact, and I've said this before, but you know, your roof your parapet walls, the tuckpointing the windows, the basement, you don't want any water getting into these buildings and the tighter the seam of the building is sealed, the easier of a time you're going to have to reach your objectives on the inside of the property. So a lot of people buy property and they look at, you know, old kitchens, old bathrooms. Can we redo the floors? But a lot of that stuff is definitely prudent. But before you go and do that, I would say you always want to make sure that the seam of the building is tight because if you don't have that done, oh, what ends up happening is water will penetrate into the building and it'll ruin all of the stuff that you had just fixed. [00:04:32] Sam Wilson: That's interesting. Yeah. And it sounds like that's something you've learned from hard experience dealing with a hundred-year-old properties on a consistent basis. [00:04:39] John McGeown: That's right. [00:04:40] Sam Wilson: That's really, really great advice. Thanks for that. Appreciate it. Tell me about the Chicago market as a whole. Is now a good time to be looking for multifamily and or rental properties there in Chicago? [00:04:52] John McGeown: From my purview, there's always a good time to buy. There's always going to be deals out there. It depends on what your objectives are and what kind of flexibility you have. The lending climate, you know, financing climate I think is affecting everyone across the board. That's making things a little bit tougher. Some things have slowed down with respect to velocity in the marketplace. Some of that has to do with larger economic issues, but really in Chicago, the seasonality of the business sort of kind of puts things, you know, there's a there's a lot of activity in the summer and the spring. And then when you get into the fall, winter, things tend to slow down a little bit naturally just because of the weather. But as far as a whole, there are still a lot of good deals if you're looking for value add properties where you can get in and rehab them. I think that's a harder target. What I'm seeing a lot more of are buildings that have been improved, you know, anywhere from 10 to, you know, 10 to 5 years, to just a couple years old, and people are trying to sell those buildings to people who don't want to do a lot of the work, and I see some value there because of construction costs and because of labor shortages and things like that. Some of those deals are a little bit more attractive to us, but the cap rates, you know, and the financing has to make sense as well. [00:06:09] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Yeah, that makes a heck of a lot of sense. You know, buying buildings that are already renovated, you know, ready to go for the investor. Tell me, you know, what sorts of things outside of that are trading hands right now that you guys are looking at that, you know, where's the most activity in the market? [00:06:25] John McGeown: The most activity in the marketplace is in, you know, the more density, the better it seems. I mean, a lot of investors are looking for economy to scale. So, wherever there's density and scale, those are always going to trade in good markets and in bad. There's a lot of that going on, and like I said, a lot, you know, anything from a three, four-unit to a 30, 40 unit building in A, B, C, even D neighborhoods seem to be trading pretty with, a lot of regularity in Chicago. [00:06:55] Sam Wilson: Wow. That's really cool. I love the Chicago market. Chicago's probably one of my favorite cities to come to visit. Certainly, I can picture, you know, and I haven't been up there in a couple of years, but can certainly picture, you know, the type of assets that you guys are buying. And it is unique, I think, market. When someone comes to market, what are some of the first things that they should start doing when they're starting to select an area to invest in around Chicago? [00:07:17] John McGeown: I think having the right team assembled is probably the most important thing to me. I deal with a lot of outside investors, people from California or New York or Texas even. And getting to know the neighborhoods is one thing, but making sure that you have your banking relationship, architect relationship general contractor, multiple real estate brokers, property managers, you know, things like that. I think I think having a good team before you start, like writing offers or buying buildings, like getting your team assembled and making sure that everybody's on the same page and everybody knows what you're looking for and what you want and how you want to go about doing it is very important. [00:07:58] Sam Wilson: Tell us, let's talk about your property management company. At what point in time did you know., hey, I'm onto something, and that there's a need in the marketplace that I can fill. [00:08:07] John McGeown: I started the company in 2010, which was right during the recession. And at the time I was working for Jameson Sotheby's and my objective was to sell property. I wanted to be a real estate broker, so residential, commercial, I felt like that was a good hybrid. But at that time, a lot of people were underwater and, you know, they didn't want short sell. They didn't want to give it back to the bank. So my proposition was, let me rent it for you. I'll manage it for you. We'll incubate this single-unit condo and when the timing is right and the market's there, I can sell it for you. So sort of like this one-stop shop idea for absentee landlords in Chicago because at that time a lot of people were going where the money was. You know, like unemployment was very high, so people were losing jobs and then they were getting new jobs in Cleveland or California or Portland, and they couldn't dispose of their assets in Chicago because they were underwater on us. So they waited it out. That was the initial concept. Then we started, you know, interfacing with owners or investors who were looking to buy larger multifamily that were distressed. And after my first assignment, my first assignment was in the West Loop in 2010. The address was 123 North Sangamon. It was a 45-unit building that was in receivership. My clients bought it, renovated the entire thing. My group, we leased it, we managed it, and then when they exited, that was when I realized that was onto something. That first bigger building assignment, kind of never looked back from there. [00:09:43] Sam Wilson: Right. Incubate the property. I've not heard that phrase before, and I and I kind of like that idea where, you know, you can't get rid of it, but yeah, you can at least have it cover its debt and if not, make a little money on it and hold it until things are more, you know, more favorable time to sell. Are you guys seeing any price decline currently in assets? I mean, I'm talking to other people in other markets and I'm here and there's some softening, especially in the multifamily market. So what's that like in Chicago right now? [00:10:12] John McGeown: I read a quote and it was, you know, Chicago was defying gravity, and I sort of believe that like the inventory is so slim. It's sort of keeping pricing high, you know, where interest rates are increasing and costs are going up across the board. Stuff is still, you know, sellers are still out there getting their asking price. Now I will say that over the last month, month and a half, things have slowed down quite a bit and I just haven't really done a good enough job digging to see if that's like something local or if that's with the bigger, you know, stuff from the bigger picture impacting the market. [00:10:45] Sam Wilson: Right, right. No, that's very, very interesting. You know, if inventory is slim, it's one of those, nobody has a crystal ball, obviously, but even with money printing plus inflation, even so, and in an interest rates of course going, you know, sky high, even, so if there's no inventory, there's still no inventory. [00:11:02] John McGeown: Yeah. And I think there's a lot of people who have set their sites out to Chicago as a viable investment place to be. And you know, there's a lot of dry power out there and there's a lot of people who make their living off of acquiring properties. And I do think that buyers are a little more scrupulous and they're taking into consideration a lot of the stuff we're talking about. But at the end of the day, stuff's still trading. I mean, a great example would be 1211 La Salle, like a 60-something-unit condo deconversion. Somebody paid a big number for that and that just recently closed and that was on the market for a very long time. And I think that's a good indicator of how the Chicago market's moving. [00:11:40] Sam Wilson: Right, right. No, I think that's great. Are there risks or things that investors should be aware of when looking at the Chicago market, either, you know, like you said, seasonally or politically, or things that you maybe apply specifically to you guys maybe that don't apply in other areas that people should be thinking about? And then if so, how do you mitigate those? [00:12:02] Sam Wilson: You know, I can't really speak to stuff like politics or anything like that. But from, just like a pure investment standpoint. There are neighborhoods in Chicago that are still developing, and they're they're in development. So knowing what those neighborhoods are and what to look for. I I've always said the Chicago market is kind of nuanced. It's neighborhood by neighborhood, asset type by asset type. So really kind of getting in there and getting on a granular level. And looking at an asset one at a time and then understanding that neighborhood. A good rule of thumb for outside investors looking in Chicago, I never really like to be outside of a 4-block range of a public transportation or the train, figure out how easy it is for people to get a route. So that'd be my one tidbit would be to make sure that you're buying in an area where your residents will have an easy time either going to work or going to enjoy their life. [00:13:00] Sam Wilson: That's a big part of Chicago, like you said, is public transportation. Even when I fly into Chicago, that's all I do, is use public transportation straight from the airports. It's just like... [00:13:09] John McGeown: Yeah. [00:13:10] Sam Wilson: Otherwise and without that, you go, you know, that becomes a serious consideration. Okay. No, that's absolutely fantastic. Tell me about the veteran interned broker journey for you. I think that's probably a fun part of your story and I'd love to hear more of that. [00:13:24] John McGeown: Sure I got into real estate sort of by accident. Like when I left the Navy, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do. I had a lot of different ideas. A friend of mine, his father was working at a company called Chicago Apartment Finders, and I started as a listing agent. I didn't take out renters. I called landlords and nurtured relationships with owners, and we rented their stuff now. That was where we earned our fee from. And so, I got to learn the language of the landlord at an early age, at an early time in my career. And so, with a pretty good, what I felt was a pretty good understanding of what makes an investor tick and what's going to make them happy or upset them, or what's a good outcome or a bad outcome. I started setting my sites on more multifamily and you know, I also had a big network of people that I knew. And Chicago is a city where sometimes it's not all about what, you know, it's about who you know. And so I wanted to leverage my bigger network of property owners and sell buildings to them. And so I went to a company called Jameson Sotheby's, where I was, again, kind of a hybrid commercial agent, but also a residential agent. And frankly speaking, the property management company ended up fueling a lot of that sales business while I was at Jameson. So my journey kinda as a broker runs in tandem with my journey as a property management company owner. [00:14:46] Sam Wilson: When you rewind and think about the last 20, or, I guess, 12 -ish, maybe closer to 20 'cause you got out in 2003 out of the... [00:14:54] John McGeown: Yeah. [00:14:54] Sam Wilson: Yeah. So So pushing 20 years here, if somebody wanted to follow in your footsteps, is there one piece of advice you would give them? You said, Hey, here's something I did really well that I feel like you should emulate. [00:15:05] Sam Wilson: You know, never give up. Once you have a goal in mind, just don't stop until you hit it. I think a lot of people think it's hard. Maybe they get burned on one deal and they don't fulfill their objectives. I would say take all that information as a learning lesson and apply it to your next project and just never give up. Don't ever quit. [00:15:27] Sam Wilson: I love that. I love that. And conversely, is there something that you feel like a mistake you've made or a lesson learned that you could help other people avoid repeating? [00:15:39] John McGeown: Sure. It took me a long time to kind of refine who I am and why I'm different and why people would want to work with me. And I think part of that process was trying on different real estate personalities, you know, like, am I John the broker? Am I John the investment manager? Am I John the property manager? But like, squeeze it all to the middle and pick your focus, stay in that lane, and don't leave until you've succeeded. [00:16:06] Sam Wilson: I love that. I love that. That's really, really good. Yeah. What'd you say? It was John, the broker. John, you mentioned like four different hats. [00:16:12] John McGeown: Exactly. Yeah. [00:16:14] Sam Wilson: Right, find your focus and stick with it. I think that that's absolutely seasoned advice. John, this has been fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to break down the Chicago markets, how you guys are finding opportunity, kind of the nuance of investing in such a unique housing stock. That's something that, you know, even here in Memphis, I mean, yeah, we're an older city, but it's just, it's not quite the same as to what it is that you guys or the same product type that you guys are dealing with up there. So I can only imagine that having someone such as yourself on the team would be invaluable. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that? [00:16:52] John McGeown: Well, we just launched a brand new website that you can reach us there at www.hifipl.Com. That's H I F I P L.com or High Fidelity Realty. Those both work for URLs. I'm on LinkedIn. I'm on Facebook. My personal email address is john, J O H N, @hifipl.com. That's H I F I P L.com. Feel free to get in touch with me there anytime. [00:17:17] Sam Wilson: Awesome.
