What is the path forward for this podcast? As you may have guessed by the new name - we are going to be covering development and client-delivery across all the latest SaaS product offerings from Citrix (as well as any non-SaaS Citrix products that you should be knowledgeable about). I promised it won’t just be me talking the whole time. As in the past, this podcast is also not a self-promotional one. We are going to be delivering value directly to your ears with technical topics, innovative use cases, and discussion with engaging guests. Our main topics will be centered around all the latest in Citrix SaaS-based offerings. There will be many episodes dedicated to Podio (it still will be a HUGE part of the podcast), Workspace with Intelligence, Wrike, and ShareFile/RightSignature. We’ll also be touching on the most popular integrations that all of our clients desire: Office 365, Google GSuite, SAP, Salesforce, and other popular SaaS software that all of our clients desire to integrate.We are also going to be taking brief glimpses into Citrix’s classic non-SaaS offerings but will stick mostly with virtualization product families. In the category of topics will be CVAD, ADC/SD-WAN, and Citrix Analytics will also making the show at some point. These are wonderful additions to any Citrix Development practice. Technical topics will be around designs in the no-code/low-code interfaces, JavaScript and PHP examples for Podio Workflow Automation use cases, and a little bit on APIs and how to utilize them in several of the Citrix products.Business topics and customer use cases will be sprinkled in throughout the season. The Podio community has been solving our client’s workflow conundrums and also designing the sometimes outrageous automation desire for years. We’ll discuss our journey of how we brought our non-Citrix integrations to the Citrix Ready marketplace and how you can too. We’ll share our process on what it’s like to compete in Citrix Hackathons and why you should rise to the challenge too. You’re going to be hearing from the talent of the Brick Bridge Consulting Team about all these topics and our successes and obstacles, past and present. We’ll be bringing on others from the Citrix Developer community - familiar names and new ones - to talk shop about their overall experiences with delivering Citrix solutions. We also plan to have a few select vendors and ecosystem resources on to give an inside look at how their services can help grow your business without being a total sales pitch. Lastly, we want YOU to be on the podcast - through your messages, issues, topics, or whatever you can throw at us. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brickbridge)

In this show, we discuss the urgent need to control complexity in your projects and buildouts.1. Consumers making data based decision making and wanting to make that next step to create a podio system that best fits them. 2. When thinking about a project timeline consumers need to be focused on what really matters to them, then we can adjust the small details. 3. There are two types of consumers when it comes to podio: the ones who have no idea what to do with their blank canvas or the ones want everything but could have a budget limitation. 4. Trying to steer our consumers the right way to make a tangible asset for their company. 5. Management vs. Users: we don't want to say no but sometimes there are limitations to the podio platform. 6. We like to build our users a basic platform to start out on before we get really complex integration involved. It starts to generate ideas and then the consumer realizes what they need and don't need within podio.

In this fantastic episode we dig into how normal people can turn into superhero API warriors using Podio, ProcFu and the magic of the internet.We're joined by Andrew Cranston, Gamechanger's CTO and a regular contributor to the GlobiFlow and ProcFu workspaces.Andrew started out as a non-coder, and his path to API wizardry shows just how much you can get with some research, trial and error, and ProcfFu.ProcFu (www.procfu.com) features heavily in this episode and Andrew breaks it down so that even the newest of newbies can understand.This episode is highly recommended if you are thinking about doing more advanced things in Podio and just don't know how to start.Check out https://www.w3schools.com/ for more resources Andrew speaks about and try yourself!

“Your problem is to bridge the gap which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach.” -Earl Nightingale Why are you reading this? Why are you listening? Learning? Taking action? It’s simple- FREEDOM!! We’re all doing this because we want the financial freedom that comes with being your own boss and real estate investing. We want to be able to spend time with our families and friends, not with the stacks of work that are probably sitting on your desk right now. Melissa and I wanted the same thing, but once we got started we realized it wasn’t so simple. As our business grew, our need for new technology that could support us grew, we quickly found that everything that was already out in the market just wasn’t cutting it anymore. We had all of these systems that were supposed to be making our lives and business better, and all it was doing was adding stress because of the impossible upkeep and hours of analyzing required to get any true insights for our business. They were just work-arounds for other work-arounds, and we knew that our technology was holding us back. We were absolutely not living the life that we thought we would be once we started investing. There was a clear gap between where we were in our business and where we wanted and needed to be, but nothing in our entire arsenal of programs we were using for our business were going to get us there. I had years of investing experience at this point, and in combination with my background in software (#tbt to my corporate America days) we decided that if we wanted it to happen then we were going to have to do it ourselves. Thus, FlipPilot was born. FlipPilot is more than a CRM. There’s not really a single word or phrase to describe what it does, because it really is the very first of its kind for real estate investors. It is everything in one place. We were evolving as investors, and we needed a software that was going to continue to evolve with us. All of the existing technology only allowed us to work IN our business, but it wasn’t giving us the freedom that we wanted. FlipPilot changes all of that. No more Podio, CallRail, MailChimp, Globiflow, NOTHING. FlipPilot has it all. Everything. One place. It is actually that simple. You’ll finally have a system that doesn’t require 20 integrations to work, a system with KPI’s you should be tracking and other data so you know what’s actually working and what isn’t. You can automate your follow up sequences, establish systems and processes, manage your team and tasks, and our brand new Dashboards give you a quick view of how your business is doing at any moment like no other software has been able to do so far.
This is episode #321, and my guest today is Doug Van Soest. Doug and his wife Andrea are successful real estate investors that operate in Southern California…and have cracked the code on “Follow Up”. Following up on old leads is very likely the most profitable activity you can do in your business, and if done right, will cost you very little incrementally…as you've already paid for the leads. Today’s show is very action oriented, as Doug explains exactly what they do to follow up, including what systems they use, frequency of follow up, and more. Doug’s system includes a combination of sending follow up postcards, emails, voice messages and text messages… it happens for months on end, and is completely automated. It’s a fantastic, information packed episode…please help me welcome Doug to the show. Do you want to be a real estate investor but need step-by-step guidance to help get you started?
