The combination of covid, lockdowns, and high transaction volumes has made 2020 an intense year for mortgage professionals. While being busy is nothing to complain about, we’ve had to grapple with big changes this year, and that requires mental fortitude.    That mental fortitude gives us inner stability in a world full of things we can’t control.    With everyone at home, it can feel like our teams aren’t as engaged or as connected as they would be under the same roof. However, even virtually, there are still many ways leaders are rising to the challenge and getting creative about maintaining company culture.    What are some of the ways we can be more effective as leaders? How can we leverage being virtual to maintain a sense of connection on our teams? How can we focus on what’s important during a very busy quarter?    In this episode, mortgage industry leader and Nova Home Loans Branch Manager, Greg Gale shares how to improve our mental states in uncertain times, and how to boost team culture and engagement in a time of lockdowns and working from home.    You can control your mornings and your nights. When you get a really good hold of those, it makes you better at having control during the day. -Greg Gale     Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode How to build mental strength: In times like these where a lot of what’s going on around us feels out of our control, the only thing we can control is our mental states and routines. If we focus on dialing in our morning and nighttime routine, we give ourselves the mental fortitude to deal with whatever the day throws at us.  How to go from reaction to effective response: When we increase our mental fortitude, we can have more control over the space between stimulus and response. If we control this space so that we’re responding instead of reacting, we have more freedom, more choice, and we can take better action.  Ways to keep our team culture strong in a virtual working world: Even if our teams are working apart right now, we can still maintain culture and connection by using virtual tools. From virtual paint parties to games, huddles, and happy hours, if we’re intentional about setting up moments for our teams to come together, we can uphold our culture.    Guest Bio:  Greg Gale is a mortgage industry leader, business coach, and VP/Branch Manager of Nova Home Loans. Greg joined the mortgage industry in 2005. Prior to that, he was a personal trainer and martial arts instructor for 17 years. Greg notes that 20 years of martial arts, where persistence, honor, and integrity are the heart of daily practice, was a perfect lead into his role as financial advisor in the mortgage industry. The Gale Team at NOVA Home Loans is a full-service loan origination service, committed to providing innovative mortgage solutions and real estate strategies. In his role as team leader, Greg stresses the importance of integrity, a positive attitude, patience, creativity, and respect for all things.    This team defines communication as one of the single most important elements in a successful loan transaction. They are committed to returning calls promptly, providing regular status updates, and being available as needed throughout the process. Greg and his team really listen to clients’ needs and then seek the best possible solutions, more often than not exceeding their client’s expectations. The team’s priority is to provide exceptional and memorable service. On a personal note, Greg is absolutely passionate about helping other people and is a regular contributor to the American Heart Association and Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Building wealth with low risk! In today's Better Wealth Episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Criag author of “House Hacking” as he shares his incredible story and journey from San Francisco to getting a job in Denver with Bigger Pockets and then discovering his passion in House Hacking. Listen to his journey of developing a system for House Hacking through his first experience with setting up a curtain, no money, multiple mistakes, to creating an incredible business and becoming a testimony of financial freedom. Craig talked about his Fire Movement and financial independence. I also ask Craig to share with us several strategies in his book and Craig shares with us incredible wisdom in clarity and efficiency. #BETTERWEALTH For more information on BetterWealth or the content you hear on the Podcast visit us at http://www.betterwealth.com/podcast (www.betterwealth.com/podcast). Guest Bio:   Craig Curelop is the co-founder of The FI Team, a real estate agent and investor in Denver, CO. Moving to Denver in April 2017 and closing on his first property in June 2017, a duplex that he house hacked for one year. Getting a little bit creative and rented out the top unit, while creating a quasi-bedroom in the living room by putting up a curtain and a cardboard wall divider so he could AirBnb his bedroom. Needless to say, it cash flowed :). Since then he has purchased three more house hacks, six investment properties, written a book called The House Hacking Strategy, and is officially financially independent. Financial independence has given him the comfort to quit my own job, start The FI Team, and help others achieve their financial independence goals.Outside of real estate and personal finance, some may call him a health nut. His primary goal is to live to be 200. His goal is to be able to perform at the highest possible level for the most amount of time. Exercising and eating healthy are the best ways to do that.

If you work in the entertainment industry you might be living under the assumption if you get really good at what you do, jobs will just miraculously find you, and you can avoid the painful process of putting yourself out there and selling yourself. After all, selling is for businesses and salesmen. Well, guess what? If you are a freelancer in today’s gig economy, you are a business.  Referrals may work for awhile, but what if you decide you want to do something different and transition to a new genre of work? Suddenly your current network you’ve spent years building is of no use to you whatsoever. Having a solid networking strategy is essential for connecting with the right people so you can promote your businesses’ services (i.e. YOU) and build a career that provides you with the flexibility to expand your portfolio as desired and ultimately fulfill your passions. My guest today, Liston Witherill, has made his career helping experts sell their services. He is the founder and creator of Serve Don't Sell, and he's on a mission to help 100 million people become world-class, ethical communicators. He understands that networking can be intimidating, especially for busy creatives who identify as introverts and just want to focus on their craft. He also understands that many people view networking as making awkward small talk at boring mixers and events (pre-pandemic anyway) and bothering busy, more important people with cold outreach that never yields responses. But networking doesn't have to be this painful. Liston and I discuss the mindset shifts you need to make in order to network successfully and why doing so can improve your career exponentially. This episode will teach you the psychology behind effective networking and how to apply it to your unique situation so you can not only expand your network but also build better and stronger relationships to advance your career and improve your well being. Want to Hear More Episodes Like This One? » Click here to subscribe and never miss another episode Here's What You'll Learn: How Liston learned to form the habit of making connections and how you can form it as well. Why many people have an aversion to networking and how changing your mindset is the way to overcome it...even if you’re an introvert. Why the same network strategies work for some people but not for others. The number one thing you need to do for successful outreach (and to not be a bother to people) What bad outreach is and how to avoid it. Liston’s formula for getting people to open and respond to outreach emails. Liston gives an example of an outreach email based on his SPCA method. How reciprocation works and the psychology behind it. Why you need an angle to reach out to high profile people. Why sending 1 thoughtful email is better than sending 50 template emails. The difference between the shotgun approach and the sniper approach to networking. A great example of how an internet entrepreneur provided value to an author he admires. The various definitions of experts and mentors and how to extract value from each. Tactical tips and general rules for subject lines in outreach emails. How long the email should be and how you should formulate your ask. Why you should never ask "Can I pick your brain?" in an outreach email. How to effectively follow up on your outreach if you don't get a response without bothering people. When you should follow up if you don't get a response right away. Networking is about building relationships and providing value. How to get in touch with Liston.

Technology has made it easier than ever before to opt-out of taking responsibility for ourselves, and far too many of us have jumped at the opportunity. The problem is, by outsourcing authority we’ve opened ourselves up to abuse.   When we start letting perceived authority figures make decisions on our behalf, we place ourselves at their mercy. When did we become a society of children, and how can we regain the power we’ve relinquished?   How are the elites keeping us under their control, and what can we do to break the cycle? What are their motivations for dominating us in the first place?   In this episode, world-renowned holistic wellness expert and founder of the CHEK Institute, Paul Chek joins me to discuss how to recover sovereignty by building consciousness.    Three Takeaways   Why the presence of dark forces helps us build consciousness: It’s easy to get caught up in “good versus evil” and “wrong versus right”, but to become conscious beings we have to have both. Negative polarity forces us to keep growing, which ultimately helps us maintain our consciousness. What’s stopping us from accessing the truth: We’re constantly bombarded with images of danger, but they’re only illusions being fed to us as a distraction from what’s really going on. We have to stop giving all our energy to news and social media and start looking for answers on our own. How to get in touch with reality in a world that thrives on smoke and mirrors:Stop paying attention to illusions, and focus instead on reality. The real world and its natural resources are the only things that can guarantee our survival, so we need to channel all our efforts into protecting it from those who threaten it.   Guest Bio-  Paul Chek is the founder of the CHEK (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiologist) Institute. He is also a prolific writer, having authored or co-authored more than 10 books, and a sought-after speaker and consultant. Passionate about sharing his knowledge with others, Paul regularly features in radio, internet radio, and podcasts, and is the host of the Living 4D with Paul Chek podcast.    To find out more, head to: https://chekinstitute.com/  https://chekiva.com/  https://www.youtube.com/user/PaulChekLive  https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/living-4d-with-paul-chek/id1447548149   

Stress and lack of fulfillment are natural consequences of living in a fast-paced society with a “more is better" mentality. Could you imagine doubling your income under these conditions?

It can be difficult to access this potential without guidance, but luckily we all have mentors. Whether we pay attention to them or have deliberately chosen them is another matter altogether.    In this edition of the Wealth Creator Source Podcast, Raymond Aaron speaks with Bob Proctor, a world-renowned speaker, motivational coach, prosperity teacher, and author. Co-creator of the Proctor Gallagher Institute, Bob seeks to help others recognize and develop what they already have in order to achieve their ideal life.

Carefully select who you are  with and who you want to be with Have a Mentor   Expert Action Steps: Ask yourself: what are you doing? Ask: what's working?  What's not working,  eliminate it and take the time and energy and put it into what is working   Guest Bio:    Bob Proctor is a world-renowned speaker, motivational coach, prosperity teacher, and author.

The name satirizes the notion that artists have to “fit in” to certain sub genres and gimmicks which is shown through their novel, inventive, and uncompromising take on house music. Shiba San discovered the duo and signed their first big release on his label Basement Leak. Their track ‘Let Me Smash’ gained traction on the Beatport charts and subsequently kick started their musical career. Shortly after, they appeared on Claude VonStroke’s radar due to their quality of production and creativity, which led to the release of the Mouth Music EP on DIRTYBIRD. Both tracks, ‘Sex, Drugs, Alcohol’ and ‘Mouth Music’, remained on Beatport’s Top 100 Tech House chart for weeks, solidifying Black V Neck’s ability to consistently deliver captivating music. Black V Neck tracks have made their way into festival performances, club sets, and radio shows worldwide. Their music has continuous support from artists such as Claude VonStroke, Chris Lake, Green Velvet, Lee Foss, Shiba San, Diplo, AC Slater, and Jax Jones. 2020 has not slowed the boys down; They signed their first Defected release, remixing the summer hit ‘Deep End’, which has become their first track to break through Beatport’s Top 10. Ian and Julian continue to work diligently, having recently released records on Club Sweat, CID’s Night Service Only, Insomniac Records, and OWSLA. Black V Neck has remixed tracks from Salvatore Ganacci, Bruno Furlan, Volac, Walker & Royce and VNSSA, with more to come.● Soundcloud -click here● Beatport - click here● Spotify - click here

This engaging episode features an in-depth and informative conversation with three Claremont residents and prominent leaders of Project Rebound and the Prison Education Project; Romarilyn Ralston, Dr. Vanessa Ovalle Perez and Ernst Fenelon, Jr. These accomplished and driven community contributors are part of the driving force behind Project Rebound, a group which is dedicated to assisting and encouraging recently and currently incarcerated people who have committed to a path of self-betterment. This inspiring, deeply honest interview shows how much those who really want to make a difference, despite serious setbacks, can become a force for positive change in themselves and help bring others up the ladder with them. The stellar panel illuminates how Project Rebound and the Prison Education Project, state-wide programs at 14 Cal-State campuses, achieves a proven recidivism rate of under 15%, - with some locations at 0% (yes, ZERO) - as compared to the state system's rate of 50%. They eloquently posit that if taxpayers are concerned with getting the best value for their tax dollars, then Project Rebound's success should be supported, scaled and spread.

Given everything that’s happened in 2020, most of us are more excited than ever to ring in the new year. 2021 is a fresh start, and it’s up to us to make the most of it.   Planning for the new year in advance is vital if we want to set it up as our best year yet. It’s time to think about what we want to achieve in 2021 and start plotting the steps to achieving it.   How can we zone in on our vision for the year ahead? What can we do now to guarantee 2021 brings us bigger results?   In this episode, host of the GSD Mode Podcast, Joshua Smith shares how visualization and hard work will make our dreams of a booming 2021 a reality.   Never sacrifice what you want most for what you want in the moment. Stay focused on your goals. - Joshua Smith   Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   How to get a clearer look at the path ahead: Never underestimate the power of knowing the numbers. When we have a clear idea of how much effort goes into closing each deal, we can replicate the process and work out how many transactions we need to complete to reach our goals.  The importance of knowing what we want to achieve: Where we put our focus is where we’ll go, so it’s important to be mindful of what we’re telling ourselves. Creating vision boards and writing down our goals is a great way to remind ourselves where we’re going so we can make our dreams a reality.  Why visualization can only take us so far: It’s great knowing exactly what we want to achieve, but we can’t rely on visualization and mood boards alone. If we aren’t backing that up with the actions to make our dreams a reality, we’ll never succeed.    Guest Bio:   Joshua Smith is the owner and host of GSD Mode, the world’s top real estate podcast.

The stock market crash in March sent shockwaves and fear through institutional investors and triggered a flight to safety and a flurry of real estate investing. Seeing so much activity in the market can trick many people into believing that everything is back to normal.   But the smartest investors know the economy isn’t quite out of the woods yet.   As investors, we have two options right now. We can either follow the crowd or we can wait. The smart play is to wait for the noise to clear and to remain fearful while others are being greedy.   We have to see the market without rose-tinted glasses, and define opportunities based on the reality that the market is going to get worse before it truly gets better.   Why should we do the opposite of what institutional investors are doing? What does it take to win right now? How do we find where the opportunities in real estate actually are?   In this episode, I’m joined by investment advisor, real estate capital markets expert, and CEO of CapStack Partners, David Blatt. We talk about how investors should be thinking of the market we’re currently in, and how to navigate it.   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode How to navigate opportunities in the covid-19 market When the stock market took a hit in March, most institutional investors took their money out and looked for a safer place. That created a wave of real estate investing, which is very good for us. Right now, we have to sit back and wait for that first wave of money to settle. The real opportunities will present themselves later and that’s when we’ll be able to take advantage of them because the big money is already spent.   Why the market hasn’t actually recovered (even though it looks like it) Anyone who thinks the market has recovered from the crash in March isn’t reading the signs of the market. The stimulus and other financial solutions are just temporary fixes, not real solutions. The aspects that have supported the market in the near-term are not long-lasting. At the core, the actual injury our economy sustained in March hasn’t been dealt with, and it will soon show.   How to determine our investment strategy in this market There are going to be different opportunities we can slot into right now. Where we choose to invest our money is going to be determined by what our goals are and our time horizon. We have to invest based on whether we’re looking for near-term stable cash flow or significant value appreciation.   Guest Bio-  David Blatt is an advisor, Real Estate Capital Markets Expert, International Public Speaker and CEO of CapStack Partners, a leading real estate debt solutions advisory firm in New York.

In this episode you will learn about:  Mommy moments vs rigid 5 am club rules  How to reframe childhood trauma and cancer Taking away shame How to be the best leader for your home  What to do in moments of chaos  *TRIGGER WARNING*- Childhood Sexual Violence, Cancer and Abuse Resources:  https://www.subscribepage.com/mompreneurcollective Kim’s verse: James 4:17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.   It reminds me that I am only in charge of my own sins and it helps as I'm a recovering control freak. It also releases me of my fears when I feel like I'm doing too much or being too bold. If I feel it's in God's path for me to do I lean on this verse.  Kim’s Life lessons: There's so many, but 3 really stand out. As I've processed and healed from my childhood I have learned that it's because of the trauma and pain that I endured, I have to be more so I can do more. I've learned that having a child with extra needs is much more of a blessing and not just because I get to be his mom, but it's where I stepped into my power. Until you're faced advocating daily for the person you love most you don't always know the power you truly have. Lastly, entrepreneurship is not about me. I'm enneagram 3, and I love to be the spotlight, but growing a community like Mompreneur Collective consists less and less about ME and more about the mothers I get to be in community with.  Kim’s Super power: Story and the power of our words. Our words, especially in the digital space, house so much power. We truly get to change lives from sharing one story. We all have stories and that's why our foundation in Mompreneur Collective is story. Until you make space to listen to your story, feel it and share it, your business is about the product.  Kim’s Jesus story: I fought it for years. I didn't grow up with faith and what I did see from others was people going to church on Sunday to repeat the same negative behaviors Monday. When people would tell me Jesus died for my sins and I was God's daughter I would laugh. I didn't believe anyone or any higher power could love me and allow the abuse that happened to me throughout my childhood. As I became a mother and our truths were being challenged with our son being so ill I attempted, slightly, to listen to his word. I did believe then that it was all happening for a greater purpose, I just wasn't sure how. 5 years into motherhood and Drew is doing better. I've listened more. In March of 2020 Drew came home from school and he said, "mom, I think it's time God becomes our friend." That Sunday I took him and his brother to church and we started our journey of learning. Since, there's been so many opportunities of growth and reflection. Learning exactly how he has continued to prime me for the gifts of my life. I'm currently in the place of full gratitude for what he has done for me and our family. I value the relationship we are creating with God now. All because God gave us this precious son to raise.  Guest Bio:  Kim Peterson is the founder of Mompreneur Collective. A year ago Kim left her career as a mental health crisis manager to heal her body of cancer naturally and  care for her 2 young boys. In the last year, Kim has worked to heal from past traumas in her life. Now she uses her story of surviving childhood sexual abuse to advocate for others. In her wellness business she empowers women to love their bodies not for the way they look, but how they feel. She shares the challenges of entrepreneurship and motherhood, including the life raising a son with autism and epilepsy. Kim is a light and believes the stories of our past and present are what make us prosper. Mompreneur Collective was created to embody the stories of mothers behind entrepreneurship in community, wellness and wealth.

Most of us have spent our lives believing the earth is heliocentric, simply because that’s what we’ve always been taught. However, as more of us begin to question everything we’ve been told, it might be time to revisit that theory.   Despite so many beings awakening to truth in other parts of their lives, many are still hesitant to take Flat Earth theory more seriously. At the core of this reluctance is the question: why does it matter?    Who stands to gain from the myth of a heliocentric system, and how would our lives be impacted if we found out we were being lied to all along?    In this episode, host of the Flat Earth Podcast, David Weiss shares his thoughts on why the heliocentric model affects us more than we realize.    Everything we’re taught is fake and it’s all to keep us in fear. -David Weiss   Three Takeaways    Why we were conditioned to believe the heliocentric model in the first place: The idea that we inhabit a giant rock flying through a Creator-less vacuum suggests our lives are meaningless. This stops us from seeing our lives for what they truly are, which is a divine experience.  What makes so many people resistant to accepting Flat Earth theory: Having our foundations ripped out from under us is never easy, because it means admitting our beliefs were wrong. However, if we can accept that we’ve been fed misinformation, we’ll come out empowered on the other side.  How the heliocentric model affects our actions and accomplishments: Buying into the idea that we’re floating in space unprotected keeps us in fear, which ultimately holds us back from living our best lives. When we acknowledge that we’re at the center of creation, we feel empowered to take bigger action and make our dreams a reality.   Guest Bio-    David Weiss is the co-host of The Flat Earth Podcast and the creator of the DITRH Youtube channel. After years of refusing to listen to flat earth theories, Dave first got into the space when he tried to prove the earth was round, only to realize he couldn’t.

How often have you needed to persuade others to do something? We all know people who think persuasion is accomplished by talking the longest and the loudest. They operate under the mistaken assumption that constantly reiterating their point will eventually grind others into submission. In reality, learning how to give an influential speech or communicate compellingly is a skill. Persuasion, like any other skill, can be learned and it is essential to do so in order to achieve your goals and objectives. Your success lies in your hands.   Listen to this episode Wealth Creator Source Podcast, where Raymond Aaron speaks with Chris Widener, as they discuss the art and techniques of persuasion and personal transformation.

Hard money lenders are one of the most common sources of funding for investors, but not all lenders are created equal. With many in the business, there’s no personal relationship and investors are nothing more than a number and a piece of paper. The impersonal nature of such a relationship can be a huge disadvantage.   But there are hard money lenders who are doing things differently. They have found the perfect middle ground between the big money of institutional lenders and the personal touch of a private lender or community bank.  This offers a lot of advantages investors wouldn’t get in any other lender relationship.  How do we structure deals that will win the favor of lenders? What are the disadvantages of working with big institutional hard money lenders? What makes an impact on whether or not hard lenders decide to fund our deals? How can we influence a quick decision in our favor?  In this episode, hard money lender and Hard Money Bankers partner, Ryan Walsh shares how to increase our chances of getting hard money loans and how covid has changed lending.    Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  Why we can’t trust the promise of low rates from institutional lenders Big hard money lenders promise us a lower rate at the beginning. However, by the time we get to the closing table, the lender often switches things up and we get stuck with a higher rate. Unfortunately, when we are so far into the process it’s hard to say no and we get stuck with unfavorable terms.    Why it’s dangerous for new investors to go the auction route  It’s not recommended for inexperienced lenders to get deals through auctions. Even if we win the property and manage to get it funded, it might take months for us to get access to it or start working on it. The last thing we want in that case is to have a hard money loan that’s racking up interest without usable property.  How covid has impacted lender decision making Banks have significantly cut back on 100% loans because they worry that an investor with no skin in the game won’t honor the loan. Having your own money in the deal puts the lender at ease because they feel the borrower is more obligated not to jump ship.   Guest Bio-  Ryan Walsh is a private/hard money lender and Real Estate investor in the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC and NVA Market. Coming from a business development background, starting multiple businesses, and working with companies such as NBC on multimillion dollar projects, Ryan is now Vice President of Hard Money Bankers NJ/DE.  Ryan is on a mission to prove that Hard Money Lending isn't as hard as many think! He is a direct lender with the inside scoop on what lenders are looking for in potential customers and what tips to keep in mind even if you are new to the real estate investment world!

The heart-centered and soulful entrepreneurs of our world are architecting a new earth and pioneering new ways of selling and marketing. They are being led by a divine vision and creating a space where their work can inspire people and invite them into resonance. A path informed by divine vision doesn’t feel labored or forceful, it just flows beautifully into being.    If we’re living in alignment and deep resonance with Source, the process of creating our messaging and how we bring it into being will be divinely guided and authentic. The resources will meet us on the path, and instead of selling, we’ll receive and attract fruitful relationships.     Everything happens on an energetic level.    When we’re led by divine vision, the soul contracts and agreements we have with the people we’re meant to support allows them to find us effortlessly. If the creation of our messaging and offerings feels draining and confusing, that tells us we’re not in alignment.    What does a marketing model led by authenticity and divine embodiment look like? How do we make sure everything we put out is built on the right energy? In this episode, Visionary, Energy and Embodiment Expert, Intuitive Healer and Author, Sydney Campos shares how she built an authentic digital footprint, and how she’s ushering in a new way of marketing.    3 Things We Learned From This Episode   - How resonant brands attract by inspiring   A deeply aligned identity pulls the right people in effortlessly. We aren’t always going to attract people who are exactly like us. We’re also going to attract people who are a few steps behind us in the journey. Instead of feeling intimidated, they will feel inspired and see the possibility of what the path looks like.    - Why resonant content makes selling unnecessary  Depending on the offer and audience, it can take at least 40 days for a cold lead to want to purchase something from us. In that 40 days, we need to build deep resonance and connection through content. By the time you have something to sell it’s just an invitation not a matter of persuading them, and everything will fall gracefully into place.    - How to build our offerings and digital presence with energetic architecture  Whenever we create something, whether it’s a webpage, or a social media post, we need to have clear energy and divine intent. People are going to feel our intention from what we put out, because our offerings transmit energy. If we’re not authentic or aligned, we won’t resonate.   Guest Bio    Sydney Campos is a New Earth Architect, Visionary, Energy and Embodiment Expert, Intuitive Healer and Author of The Empath Experience: What To Do When You Feel Everything.

Ours is a culture that often praises workers for keeping long hours, promoting a skewed work-life balance. Research shows that productivity drops off sharply after reaching a 50-hour workweek. With this in mind, it may be that embracing adventure and alternative lifestyles actually make for better business owners. After all, passion and an appetite for new experiences are greater motivators than hitting an arbitrary standard.    In today’s episode of the Wealth Source Creator Podcast,  Raymond speaks with Jock Wishart, a maritime and polar adventurer, sportsman, and explorer. Jock leads a life marked by wild sporting accomplishments and fascinating adventures.

The events of 2020 have separated the real estate industry into two camps. There are agents who are crushing it and taking more market share, while everyone else struggles to get deals and keep their business going.    Even though we’re dealing with the same market conditions and navigating the same challenges, some people are actually thriving.    What most agents could rely on to get business has been removed, leaving the people who have invested in top-of-mind visibility to rise to the top.    We can learn a lot from the agents who are succeeding in today’s market.    They’ve built leverage in their business to maximize what they’re good at, and they’ve maintained a mindset of possibility.    What are top producing agents doing right now and what can we borrow from them to implement into our own businesses? How do we create more freedom by building leverage and delegating what we don’t want to do?    In this episode, BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast host David Greene returns. We talk about what separates the agents who are thriving in this market from everyone else.    When you understand that real estate isn’t a job, but a business, and that you can choose the role you want to play in that business, you get freedom. -David Greene    Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   The limiting belief that makes it hard for us to scale: We often feel a strong sense of guilt that we don’t deserve to just do the parts we love in our businesses. In reality, it’s actually not necessary to bear the pain of doing the things we don’t enjoy. It’s okay to take our own feelings into consideration and focus on the role we want to have.  How to know when it’s time to scale: Time isn’t the only factor that determines when we should bring leverage into our businesses. Our energy is also a great indicator of when we need to scale out of certain tasks. When new leads start to feel like a drain, we should take action and hire the help we need.  Why some agents are having the best year of their careers: With no open houses or the ability to meet up in person, it’s impossible to capture the low hanging fruit of leads. The agents who are already known in their market and capture attention via social media are taking more market share and getting all the deals.   Guest Bio   David Greene is a nationally recognized authority in real estate, top-producing real estate agent and team leader, best-selling author, and co-host of The BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast. He has a passion for teaching and helping others grow wealth through real estate.

Spirit and business are often treated like two powerful, warring points of focus that cannot co-exist or be of service to the planet.    It doesn’t have to be this way.    The two can be brought together harmoniously to the benefit of the collective. If we are in alignment and our business goals are in the service to spirit, we can be more centered and trusting.   We can surrender and let spirit lead the way, and we’ll never get pulled away from our purpose.    We can show up in the entrepreneurship space as powerful channels co-creating with the Universe.    How does trust in a higher purpose ground us in a marketing world of ever-changing social media algorithms? Why is it so important to be led by spirit in our businesses? How do we delegate and empower our people to get into their flow state?     In this episode, I’m joined by heart-centered visionary CEO, coach, and dance poet musician, Derren Ohanian. We discuss how entrepreneurship changes when spirit comes first.     3 Things We Learned From This Episode   - How to keep going when algorithms change  Algorithms change and marketing channels shift, this is something we have no control over. Instead of trying to fight against it, surrender and trust spirit to lead you gracefully into the next iteration. We have to let go and trust knowing that when we let go, the Universe will always provide the success and abundance we desire.    - How to empower our people by trusting the higher purpose  Trust in your team, let them do the work and get out of the way. If we hover over them and watch their every move, we put them in a fear state and disempower them.   We want them working from their zone of genius not a contracted state.    - Why entrepreneurship is incomplete without spirit Business owners who aren’t informed by spirit often find themselves in the trap of lone wolf syndrome. This manifests in us wanting to control everything, harboring self-judgment, and thinking everything needs to be perfect. Moving past those traumas and tapping into spirit gets us into flow so we show up as our best selves in business.   Guest Bio    Derren is a heart-centered visionary CEO, coach, and dance poet musician who is also known as Flowing River. He is the founder of Social Sensei and co-founder of Ascension Academy.

In today's Better Wealth Episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jason Sanger, President and Creator of Wealth Building Cornerstones, a company dedicated to provide individuals and families simple, easy to understand, processes that maximize the use of their money for wealth building and protection. Jason shares his story from the world of engineering to the world of finance. Listen as he explains how to create a retirement income generation path. Jason also describes the history of what he calls “The Two Economics Powers Approach” and why people are getting a rude awakening once they hit retirement. Jason gives us an incredible in depth look at retirement, why having a metric of measurement allows for you to understand your retirement option, create the most efficient strategies that will work for you. He shares why the methods to create retirement plans can be greatly impacted by the product and its ability to balance both the “accumulation power” and “distribution power” thus impacting the legacy of your retirement. Join me as Jason gives incredible insight on the math, the measurement, the history, and the strategy behind educating, building and developing retirement strategies for a retirement that creates income until the end.   #BETTERWEALTH For more information on BetterWealth or the content you hear on the Podcast visit us at http://www.betterwealth.com/podcast (www.betterwealth.com/podcast).

The events of the past year have taken a toll on many people’s mental and physical health, but while it’s tempting to blame this on external factors, the only way to get through this period is by looking within.   There’s never been a better time to stop focusing on the constant buzz of activity in the outside world and start working on our own inner stillness. That being said, with our world so geared towards a fast-paced lifestyle, is that even a possibility?    How can we channel our energies towards inner peace? What’s stopping us from becoming more self-aware in the first place?   In this episode, fitness expert, lifestyle coach, and host of the Stacked podcast, Joe Distefano shares how breathwork can help us find inner peace and healing in a time of chaos.    All of us as beings have to work on getting to a silent place where we can drown out the noise and be one with our presence. -Jay Campbell   Three Takeaways    How the way we breathe impacts our health: Many of us breathe primarily through our mouths, but we shouldn’t be. Breathing through our noses gives us 360° expansion and ultimately gets our bodies functioning at an optimal level.  How to stay focused on our breathwork when we’re just getting started: It’s easy to get distracted when we’re new to breathwork, and that’s why we need an anchor. Simple actions like practicing holding our breath keep us focused on what we’re doing in the moment. Why we need to change the way we think of breathwork: Stop thinking of breathwork and meditation as a task on a daily to-do list and start thinking of it as an act of self-love. When we make this shift, we start focusing because we want to, not because we feel like we have to.  Guest Bio-    Joe Distefano is an international speaker, fitness expert, and lifestyle coach. As the Founder of experiential lifestyle brand RUNGA, Joe is passionate about empowering his clients through practices that fuel health, wellness, and performance.

Introducing Episode 021 of our weekly music podcast, Miami Music Partners Radio, featuring a special 1-hour set by this week's guest DJ,  MARKEM.MMP Radio is brought to you by the Miami Music Partners, Miami's premier organization for the production & promotion of Dance Music events. Follow us on Instagram @MiamiMusicPartners or visit us online at MiamiMusicPartners.com, to stay up to date on our latest special events, and podcast special guest mixes!ARTIST, GUEST BIO. - MARKEM: With releases on the likes of Ultra Records, Strictly Rhythm, Spinnin’ Records, Nervous Records, Stereo, Blanco Y Negro and Tiesto’s AFTR:HRS, performances at Nikki Beach, Club Space and Storyland Festival, and support from dance music titans Steve Angello, Ferry Corsten, Sunny James & Ryan Marciano, Fedde Le Grand and more, it’s safe to say Markem - previously known as Mark.M - is one of the most exciting young producer/DJs to rise through the South American ranks in a long time. Born in Caracas, Venezuela but raised in Miami, Florida, at the tender age of just 15 Markem cut his teeth as a club promoter inside the city’s glittering nightlife. By 18, he’d progressed from the ticket office to the DJ booth, becoming one of Miami’s hottest resident DJs, including a regular slot at legendary venue Club Space where he regularly shared the decks with world-class heavyweights like Martinez Brothers, Steve Angello, Erick Morillo & Chus & Ceballos , to name just a few. Unsurprisingly, it wasn’t long before the rising star was booked to perform further afield, with a tour diary that now takes in shows all over South America, North America and Europe. In the studio, Markem has proved to be equally as prolific. His very first production, the 2010 hit ‘Party In Miami’, spent three weeks in the Beatport Top 3, quickly establishing him as one to watch. Collaborations with David Tort and Moska, and remixes for Erick Morillo (‘I Like To Move It’) and Cedric Gervais & Mya (‘Love Is The Answer’) showed both his versatility and his natural ability to create huge house cuts. In 2017, Dutch icon Tiesto signed Markem’s Tort collaboration ‘Strangers’ to his AFTR:HRS imprint - at the time of going to print, the single spent almost a year on the Beatport Top 100 and racked up over 8 million plays on Spotify alone. Markem has more new music to share with his growing army of fans, much of it coming via his own label HoTL Records. A creative project set up with long-time music partner David Tort, the imprint has swiftly come to stand for freedom of musical expression, not limited to style or trend but rather just focusing only on the belief that music is made to move the body. In their words, it’s a pure and simple commitment to “release whatever the fuck we want”. It really doesn’t get much more dance floor than that.● Soundcloud -click here● Beatport - click here● Spotify - click here

Swipe Right on Your Best Self What stops us from pursuing our biggest dreams in life? Why do we hold ourselves back from being fully seen and heard as our real selves professionally and personally?

As we near the second year of the 2020s, it’s time for LOs to set themselves up for a decade of success. What we do now will determine whether we flourish in the business, or if we’ll exit the industry for good.   What will be the key differentiator between the superstars of the coming decade, and those who’ll barely stay afloat?   Given how many changes we’ve already seen over the past year, is there any way of anticipating what’s next?    In this episode, Founder of MortgageX, Jason Frazier shares why LOs need to be on the frontlines of change to stay in the business.    The industry is moving forward, and it’s not enough to accept change. You have to be at the forefront of it. -Jason Frazier   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode   Which side of the business we should be paying close attention to: The decade began in the midst of a refi boom, but it won’t last forever. While it makes sense to take advantage of refi while we can, it shouldn’t be the core of our business. Focus instead on purchase business and building relationships with agents.  How to stay ahead of our competitors:  We’re bound to see new competitors in the industry in the coming years, but no matter how much we try, we’ll never be able to anticipate exactly who they’ll be. We have to be prepared for anything, and we can do that by staying on top of trends and embracing changes as soon as they come.  Why modernization is non-negotiable: In the 2020s, there’s no excuse for LOs to not offer digital services. The consumer has high-tech options everywhere else, so if we want to stay in business, we can’t expect to be the exception.   Guest Bio:   Jason Frazier is an award-winning marketer and disruptive strategist. With over 20 years of C-level expertise in marketing, strategy, and technology, today he serves as the Chief Strategy Officer at EPM. Passionate about helping others get bigger and better results in the industry, he is also the Founder of Mortgage X and host of Mortgage X Podcast and Mortgage Interrupt Podcast.

Real estate asset classes like retail and multi-family used to be the crown jewels of investing. Now they are volatile and even declining in today’s economy.    The same market shifts that have made these asset classes fall out of economic favor have benefitted one asset class in particular, self-storage. In 2020, it has emerged as the most attractive pivot in commercial real estate.    The economics don’t support self-storage becoming irrelevant any time soon, meaning it still has a lot of opportunity, even for new investors.   How have the changes brought on by Covid-19 made self-storage even more compelling for investors? What are the downsides of self-storage and how do we avoid them?    In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur, self-storage investor and best-selling author, AJ Osborne. He shares powerful insights on self-storage, why investors love it, and how to lower your risk in self-storage investing.   Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode   Why there’s a growing demand for self-storage As real estate prices rise, our ability to hold as much as we consume has shrunk both individually and commercially. With businesses and channels of distribution becoming more decentralized, holding onto retail and warehouse space becomes less necessary, making self-storage the best way to keep possessions and inventory.   The ease of self-storage investing next to other asset classes Apartment building investing is highly competitive and near-impossible to cash flow right now. Additionally there’s a lot of costs and details involved in multi-families. Storage is affordable to build and easy to maintain and manage. Storage units can offer us stability through diversification, each size of storage unit is a product which attracts a different customer.   How to lower the risk of self-storage investing Demand is the one thing that will kill you in self-storage investing. Because it’s become such an in-demand model, we can risk falling into the trap of an over-built and over crowded market. Before you consider getting into any market, validate and confirm both current and future demand.   Guest Bio-    AJ Osborne is an American entrepreneur, businessman, and investor who owns and manages his self storage portfolio of over $100 million of assets through his companies Bitterroot Holdings, Cedar Creek Wealth, and Clear Water Benefits. He’s the owner and host of the largest self storage podcast, Self Storage Income, and author of the bestseller, The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self Storage: The Step-By-Step Playbook for Turning a Real Estate Asset Into a Thriving Self Storage Business.    As an operator and private owner with over 1.2 million square feet of self storage, he regularly keynotes at national conferences on operations related to investing in, buying, and managing self storage facilities. AJ specializes in acquiring and turning around underperforming facilities with a value-add strategy, and loves to show other entrepreneurs and investors how to focus on technology and self storage automation.   For more information, visit https://selfstorageincome.com, follow @selfstorageincome on Instagram and buy the book here.

The events of 2020 have caused such a drastic interruption to the norm, and many agents responded with fear and inaction. But on the other side of the fear are agents who are having the best year of their entire career.    Even though the market is different, there’s still a lot of opportunity to gain market share and do more business. This isn’t the time to hide and wait for the storm to blow over, this is the time to be more active and visible. The willingness to take action is what’s separating the agents who are dominating from everyone else.    What should every real estate agent be doing in this market? How do we make sure we stay top of mind? In this episode, host of the Massive Agent Podcast, Dustin Brohm returns. We discuss how to thrive in today’s real estate market and dominate while everyone else is dormant.  Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode   How to get over the fear of change: Many people are getting tripped up by the pandemic because they’re grappling with the changes. However, the changes we are seeing aren’t coming out of the blue, Covid just sped up trends that were already happening in the business. The sooner we adapt, the more prepared we’ll be for the direction our industry is going.  Why views are not the only important metric on social media: Don’t focus on views and likes so much, focus on creating content that keeps you visible and top of mind. Not getting views doesn’t mean you didn’t get an impression for someone who might hire or refer you.   How to tie your hobby to your profession:  Some of the most successful real estate agents have established niches for themselves based on their hobbies and interests. It starts with finding something we’re interested in, then tying it to our community, and then getting it out there using whatever medium makes sense for us.    Guest Bio   Dustin Brohm is the host of the Massive Agent Podcast and Co-Founder of the Industry Syndicate real estate podcast network. Dustin was a finalist for the 2019 Inman Innovator of the Year Award and he has spoken on stage at Gary Vaynerchuk’s Agent2021, Inman Connect, HousingWire, and more.

Self imposed economic scarcity is the ability to divorce yourself from the beckoning call of society to consume for happiness.  In today's Better Wealth Episode, I had both the privilege and honor of interviewing Dr. William Danko who is a former emeritus professor of the School of Business and co-author of The Millionaire Nextdoor selling more than 4 million copies. Bill discusses his story of growing up after his father's death, his mom’s strength as a single parent, the care of a quadriplegic brother, and how all that led to a passion for frugality and legacy. Listen as we talk about strategies in his book such as “Paws and the Uaws”, Self Imposed Economic Scarcity, Scarcity vs. Abundance, Budgeting, and Economic Outpatient Care. We also review his new book Richer Than a Millionaire, discussing his construct of the “Subjective Well Being Scale”, Satisfied vs Unsatisfied, Passion, Taxes, Frugality, Avoiding Debt, Being Humble, Being Charitable, Having a Good Marriage, Having Good Health, Stewardship, and why millionaires that are happier are those that give more of their time and money to charity. Dr. Danko’s first book was what inspired me to begin my job at the bank and his second book is just as inspirational. It has been an honor to glean wisdom from this incredible interview with Bill.

Every human being has a channel, a direct line to the divine and a path to higher consciousness. It is where we tap into our highest purpose and the good of humanity.    For spiritual entrepreneurs, this channel is where our message, our content and our marketing flows from. We have to keep our channel clear for us to be of the highest service to humanity and the planet.     If we’re not intentional about our habits, we don’t just compromise the channel, we compromise the message Source is trying to work through us. We can’t afford to compromise our channel at a time humanity needs an urgent awakening.  How do we nurture the habits that enable our greatest work to come through and unfold in the way it was intended? How does a clear channel allow us to attract the resources and people that will help get the message out?    In this episode, I’m joined by author of The Essential Revolution series, Michael McGinnis Jr. He talks about his book, and why it was channeled in this moment in history.    3 Things We Learned From This Episode   - The power of having a channeled message    When we’re truly channeling our business and our message, everything works and flows from there. This channel is what drives our message to the right readers, followers and viewers, and into the right hands when it comes to support and marketing.    - Why routines are so important for spiritual entrepreneurs    We are a channel for the awakening and evolution of humanity. Certain behaviors and thinking patterns block that channel and compromise the message. We need to have healthy habits and routines to keep the channel clear and allow the message to come through in its most potent and intentional form.    - Our true purpose in today’s world    Challenging times serve as the springboard for humanity’s awakening. Our role and the purpose of the content we create is to prepare humanity for this leap. It’s to help people see the truth, address their doubts and clear their own channels so they can elevate.   Guest Bio    Guest Bio    Michael McGinnis Jr is an entrepreneur and the author of the Essential Revolutions Series.

With everything that’s happened over the past year, a lot of people have been living their lives in fear.    However, the fear we’re experiencing en-masse isn’t limited to concerns of contracting a virus. People are also worried about how they’ll be viewed by mainstream society, or worse, potentially losing their livelihoods if they step out of line.     Where does this fear stem from, and what is the purpose of it? Does experiencing fear mean we’re reluctant to awaken, or is there more to our collective anxiety?   In this episode, host of The Leak Project, Rex Bear shares his thoughts on the current state of fear.    When you're in fear, you can be manipulated more easily. -Jay Campbell   Three Takeaways  Why fear affects everyone- even those who want to awaken: No matter how much time we devote to developing our consciousness, we will be fearful for as long as we’re bombarded with negative information. Mainstream media and society are geared towards scaring us, and resisting that can be easier said than done.  How fear opens us up to abuse: Angst is a great mechanism of control because when we’re fearful, we’re easier to manipulate. Being afraid makes us less likely to step out of line or question the powers that be. Who is behind the widespread unease: When we hear of “fallen angels”, many of us think of etheric beings stuck in the 3rd dimension, but the reality might be more concerning. For all we know, fallen angels could be inhabiting the physical bodies at the helm of fear-mongering corporations and organizations.   Guest Bio-  Rex Bear is the host of Leak Project, a platform dedicated to creating awareness for information not found in the mainstream media. Leak Project shares videos and audio podcasts on a wide range of topics, including among others UFOs, spirituality, and religion.    To find out more, head to: https://leakproject.com/ https://web.facebook.com/theleakproject https://twitter.com/LeakProject https://www.youtube.com/c/Leakproject42/featured

It became famous in the 1940s thanks to the Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman film of the same name. Throughout its history it had been the birthplace or home to many famous people - from film star Jean Reno to automobile designer Frank Stephenson to poet Abdallah Zrika.Along the way Nassiri was practically destined to make it onto that last - it's just that nobody involved really knew it at the time.Music had always been an important part of Nassiri's life, for as far back as he could remember. His mother spent time as a sound engineer for Moroccan Radio, among other jobs.

We may not be seeing as many people in person anymore, but there’s never been a better time to connect and build relationships.    Thanks to social media platforms like Facebook, there are more opportunities than ever before to grow our spheres, nurture relationships, and even generate referrals. By employing the right strategies, we can reach out in a way that gets people to know, like, and trust us.    What content should we be sharing to connect with our audiences on a deeper level, and what should we be avoiding altogether? How can we convert our online relationships into real-life transactions and partnerships?   In this episode, Founder of Your Referral Generator, Geoff Talbot shares how to get better results from our Facebook marketing.   Stay in one place and do something consistently, and you’ll start to build a brand. -Geoff Talbot    Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode Why we need to zone in on one platform: We can’t connect on a deeper level with one platform if we’re also trying to maintain a presence on every social media platform. We have to go deep on one channel and stay on it long enough to get results. When we try too hard to be everywhere, we end up going nowhere.  The price of perfection on social media: When we’re too caught up in trying to look perfect, we come across as inauthentic. Our audiences want to see our unguarded, vulnerable moments because they show we’re human. With all the negativity on social media, our moment of realness could be the relief they need from that.  Who we should be connecting with on Facebook: It’s pointless having a sphere of people we don’t know or have nothing in common with. Connect with people who share common interests with us and live in our areas.   Guest Bio   Geoff Talbot is the Founder of Your Referral Partner, an online course geared towards helping agents build their businesses without cold calling, buying expensive ads, or hustling.
