Transitions can look like blessings on the outside — but still feel heavy on the inside. In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I'm sharing how God is teaching me to find joy, not in the ease of the season, but in the endurance He's building through it.We're digging into James 1:2-4 and what it really means to count it all joy — even when you're stretched, tired, and still figuring it out.

On this episode, I speak with acclaimed producer and filmmaker Brad Starks who works and lives in Maui. He survived the devastating wildfire that came close to his "front door." This episode is more laid back in terms of production and really gives voice to the story at hand. My Guest: Brad Starks is an incredibly accomplished individual—he grew up in Rockford, Illinois and has held many different positions over the years including fashion photographer, creative director, filmmaker, producer, and currently an actor based in Maui. Mr. Starks has operated studios in New York, Chicago, Madrid, Spain, and Tokyo.  During his work as a fashion photographer, he had the pleasure of working with fashion icons like Nicolle Miller and Oscar De La Renta along with Emanuel Ungaro. An impressive career across the map, with works of his published in Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair and many more— he's worked on the sets of the Real Housewives of Beverley Hills, HGTV's Hawaii Life, and on networks like A&E and MTV.  Mr. Stark has been living in Hawaii for years and when the wildfires began, he was there—it was unlike anything he'd ever seen. He says he'll never forget how close the fire came to his front door. ________________________________________________________ Lahaina Venmo Donation Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/lahaina_ohana_venmo_donation/ Maui Support Groups- https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/us/hawaii-fires-how-to-help.html Times Radio UK Story- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxMDTGY6NBU&t=60s The Jeremiah Patterson Show (Facebook)- https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095566779645 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thejeremiahpattersonshow/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thejeremiahpattersonshow/support

Episode Summary: Introducing today's guest, https://www.hawaiilife.com/mattbeall (Matt Beall), born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A, currently residing in Kauai Island, Hawaii. I sit with Matt, the CEO and Principal Broker of https://www.hawaiilife.com/ (Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokerage), in this episode. Matt discusses Real Estate in Hawaii generally and life before he moved into the Real Estate business. Top Takeaways:  "Work-life balance is a zero-sum game; you are only ever dealing with a finite amount of time."  - [Matt Beall]  "You can't just touch people with a wand and turn them into givers, it's a slow process, and they have to grow into it and learn the value of it for themselves" - [Matt Beall]  "As you give your time, you realize the personal rewards of that… as you give your treasure, you realize the rewards of that." - [Matt Beall]  Episode Highlights: [00:32] Intro [01:02] Meet our guest today, https://www.hawaiilife.com/mattbeall (Matt Beall). [02:16] Matt shares his background. [05:09] What's the biggest misconception about Hawaii? [08:03] What did you do before Real Estate? [12:56] About starting Hawaii Life Brokerage. [25:00] Why is Volunteering so important to you? [32:15] What's your take on venture capital pouring in, specifically for Hawaii? [37:30] Matt's advice to new agents. [39:32] How to https://www.hawaiilife.com/mattbeall (contact Matt) Episode Notes:  Matt moved to Hawaii in 1994 after he went there for a seminar, was engrossed in the environment, and later decided he would live at Kauai, the oldest and most scenic island in Hawaii. Before this, he had schooled in Virginia, then the University of Montana. Highlighting the biggest misconception about Hawaii, Matt explains that people have a general idea that everyone there is lazy. "It's almost impossible to live here without getting influenced by the environment." In Hawaii, this influence is seen in the "work-life" balance, which differs significantly compared to work in the US mainland. This distinction between both places has been responsible for the impression of a laid-back lifestyle often perceived as laziness. Matt notes that this belief does not represent the reality over there. Matt also shares his experience before Real Estate, starting as a manager running a bar and restaurant. After suffering burnout, he took two years traveling around different places, and on returning, noticed people in his industry were getting Real Estate licenses to sell Timeshares. Motivated to do the same, he got his license. Still, he was informed of a job opportunity in a Real Estate company that ultimately steered him into starting his career in Real Estate.   Discussing events around the startup of https://www.hawaiilife.com (Hawaii Life Brokerage) in 2008, during the recession, Matt notes that growth was much faster than anticipated. The challenges of having competitors came with that level of success. The website for Hawaii Life was also uniquely designed by Matt and his team, making the website the first with any real traffic. He explains that it was motivated by the poor and frustrating representation of properties, added to the minimal efficacy of brokerages within the tech space. The company has also engaged in print productions as part of its marketing strategy, and it has been much more beneficial. Matt has partnered up with a luxury group on Oahu that expanded its presence there. The primary use of technology involved in the operation is through Salesforce.  Talking about his work with volunteerism, Matt shares that initially, the purpose was to educate himself on the people and the place, but has now grown to involve more depth with a sense of responsibility to the environment. He is the outgoing President of the Hawaiian Islands Land Trust, a land conservation organization with the largest land trust in the state.

The 2021 Concierge Auctions Agent Advisory Board are top agents and brokers, who have billions of dollars combined in luxury sales from across the globe, represent a think tank on the state of luxury real estate sales and marketing. The board meets quarterly to share insights and guide Concierge Auctions particularly with its relationship to the brokerage community, with a focus on agent-specific education, tools, and technology. Join Frank Aazami of Russ Lyon Sotheby's, Matt Beall of Hawaii Life, Paul Benson of Engel & Völkers, and Moderators Laura Brady, CEO of Concierge Auctions, in this episode as they discuss: + Exciting achievements in real estate + Upcoming projects and brokerage news + State of the local markets + How auctions benefit the local markets (Scottsdale, Park City, Kauai)

Many families are moving this year out of want and/or need. If this is you and you’re considering selling, buying, renting, or relocating…or if you just want to hear some interesting and wild real estate stories, this episode is for you! Jessica Baker is here with us today to give some practical tips for buying and selling a home, things to keep in mind for local and long-distance moves, and even Hawaii and Maui specific suggestions and stories.

Jessica’s Bio (in her own words): My journey to Maui began at a very early age! Well before I could read I always wanted to look at picture books of tropical fish and marine life. Eventually I would share with anyone who would listen, "When I grow up, I am going to swim with dolphins in Hawaii!" This was a very big dream for a kid in Michigan. Fast forward to 2006. After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Michigan, I was fortunate enough to take my first (and only) vacation here to Maui with my parents. While we were having dinner that first night at the iconic Pioneer Inn in Lahaina Town, I just knew that the island was calling me. Armed with two suitcases and a bicycle, my next flight back to Maui two months later was as a brand new resident. Now I have happily lived in Lahaina for fourteen years...(read Jessica's full bio over at www.elevatingmotherhood.com) In this episode, Jessica & I talk about: · Long distance vs. local moves · How we both came to Maui · What to look for when looking for a realtor · Questions to ask your realtor · Healthy boundaries & clear communication · Clarifying expectations with your realtor · When to schedule the moving company · Things families have done really well to help kids get settled · The benefits of seeing a house without kids in tow · The importance of seeing “how the house will live” · Moving tips: labeling boxes, · Moving from the mainland to Hawaii · Long term rental tips · Prepping your kids for the move · A bit about how kids process the transition · Asking for help during a move · Over-planning and under-planning · Moving resources (being local and location specific) · Box #1…and what it should have in it · If your dream is to move to Maui…what’s it’s really like · WILD stories about moving and showings!

Living in Hawaii is enough to make anyone a dreamer. But Matt Beall has his feet planted firmly on the ground. With a long-running television show on HGTV and an award-winning brokerage that encompasses all the islands, Matt has spent years building Hawaii Life, an incredible real estate business and a celebrated brand. But as polished as Hawaii Life's image comes across, underneath that brand is an engine fueled by necessity and hard work. Years ago, Matt faced a dilemma: how would they connect with potential buyers on the mainland, thousands of miles across the ocean? The solution, of course, was online. Today, Hawaii Life has the most highly trafficked real estate website in Hawaii, and sits at the top of Google search results for Hawaii real estate—ahead of Zillow and Realtor.com. In this interview, Matt Beall explains why there's no magic formula for building a great real estate brand online, and talks about why agents overlook their most precious resource: previous clients.

Aloha and welcome to the inaugural episode of Listing Bits! Greg comes to you from Ko Olina, Hawaii, where he is attending Hawaii Life’s Worthshop 6, and chatting with real estate tech leader David Friedman. Friedman describes himself as a Jewish kid from New York who went to engineering school during the dot-com boom. Interested in startups, he discovered that the real estate brokerage space lagged behind the curve in tech and set out to build a platform during the recession. That idea grew into the formation of Boston Logic Technology Partners, Inc., an information technology firm whose mission is to help real estate brokerages grow faster by implementing their software and companion services. As president of Boston Logic, Friedman leads the team in developing the company’s strategic vision. Working with investors, managers and clients, he is involved in the daily operations of the business including hiring, sales and fundraising. He is a metrics oriented sales manager, internet marketing strategist and coach with proven experience as an entrepreneur, growing a company from idea to profitability. On this first episode of the podcast, Friedman talks about the rapid pace of innovation and growth in the real estate technology vertical, the future of Boston Logic and industry trends in big data and AI. What’s Discussed:  Why chaos causes innovation The success of a business over time has no correlation to broader economic trends During a recession, many become entrepreneurs by necessity Why the real estate industry has been behind the curve in technology When times are good (i.e.: during a boom), people don’t feel the need to innovate The exponential growth of the real estate software realm From 2013-2014, funding for the formation of new companies went up 4X How advancements in technology have dramatically increased the pace of innovation Hosting space on the cloud is cheap Building on top of open source architecture allows for the development of a working prototype in weeks (not months) Why tech tools working together via data connectivity will be the next wave in the industry The big investment Boston Logic secured from Providence Equity How Boston Logic will employ the funds from Providence Equity’s backing Invest in the core business Look at acquisitions for growth The traits of Boston Logic’s ideal client Small or large brokerages More tech forward than the average brokerage Current platform isn’t keeping up, isn’t integrated, or lacks a data sharing component Trends in real estate tech Utilizing big data in a new way – making dormant data an asset AI – using bots to replace call center employees   Resources: Worthshops.com   Connect with David Friedman: BostonLogic.com Follow on Twitter Follow on Facebook
