Spencer Gray did his first real estate deal out of high school and was hooked. He started investing on the side and went all-in on commercial real estate investing in 2015. He founded two firms, one for active investing and another for passive investing, Gray Capital and Gray Properties.

He shares why value-add deals are so competitive and why he has more appeal for newer, core plus apartments.

Here are some of the topics we discussed: • How Kristin and Spencer met. How they began dating • Reactions to my impression of their AMAZING girls • Reactions to Dr. Lisa's take on their relationship as a couple • How Spencer's work is influenced by his upbringing—helping his father take photographs of guests at a Catskill resort • Why their collaboration EVERYTHING SHE SAYS MEANS EVERYTHING which was a project involving 100 nude women at the 2016 Republican Convention in Cleveland http://spencertunickcleveland.com/ This was for me, a truly moving experience with visionary people.

Spencer Hilligoss wanted to play financial defense and build enough passive income to keep the lights on for his family should something unexpected happen.

Joining us all the way from Colombia today is Archbishop Spencer Garnica. Spencer was born on the island of Creole. Speaks English, Spanish, and his native language Creole. Spencer grew up in a society of Christian culture and is the oldest of 11 children. He grew up loving music and musical instruments like the piano and guitar. His love for music and singing has contributed to his praise and worship career in his path to the priesthood. Early calling One-night spencer decided to pray after experiencing a dream. In his dream, spencer saw a man coming down with the sun. and out of the sun, the man emerged, floating on air. The man gave spencer bread to eat and something to drink, all of which spencer did. After asking him who he is, the man told Spencer that He is Jesus. Spencer, later on, tried to explain the dream to his mother, who brushed the dream off as an effect of spencer's hunger. Afterward, spencer approached his cousin and friend, who would take him to the first Baptist church in the Atlantic, where he would later on become a member. One night during a revival in the church, the preacher pointed to him and said that it is the Lord's will that Spencer becomes one of the Lord's servants.  Henceforth, spencer joined the seminary, only aged 14 years, armed with nothing but hope, dreams, and ambitions to serve the Lord. Childhood Being the oldest of 11 children, Spencer had no choice but to lead a life of responsibility and hard work. He'd wake up early in the morning and help his mother prepare his siblings for school, take them to school, feed the domestic animals before finally preparing himself and going to school. He'd also help out with other house and life chores, such as fishing, cooking and cleaning the house. Looking back though, spencer is grateful for the life of chores and responsibility that he grew up in because this was God's way of preparing him to serve others. Music Journey. As a teenager, a music concert was to be held at Spencer's hometown, but because of his strict and tough mother, spencer couldn't ask her for permission to attend it. So instead, he decided to sneak out at dark and not just attend the concert, but perform in it as well. What resulted was a magical night for Spencer, he ended up winning both at the concert and winning his mother's heart. His mom could no longer deny it, Spencer was a gifted child with a mission and purpose to serve others and the Lord. Long after Spencer joined the seminary to study theology and priesthood, music would always be a part of him, ‘'The bible and music'' he says, ‘'The bible and music.'' Demons, marriage, and fate. After being in the Baptist seminary for ten years. It was time for Spencer to move to the next step, he now wanted to be a priest. But that wasn't all, Spencer was also blessed with a gift, a gift of vision and sight. It is this very gift that would, later on, lead a local pastor to label him as being possessed by a demon. Something spencer didn't take too kindly of. Short of choices and places to serve his lifelong mission and purpose of preaching, Spencer's cousin who was a pastor in Bogota called him and offered him an opportunity to serve under the church he was in, under the condition that Spencer marries. A condition Spencer wasn't really comfortable with. Spencer was young and wanted to focus his full attention and energy in serving the Lord, and so he had to forego the opportunity and wait for the lord. And as fate would have it, Spencer received a call from a former secretary of his enquiring whether spencer still had ambitions to become a priest. Spencer was over the moon and accepted the offer, and thus began his lifelong journey into priesthood under the Anglican church. Quotes  -  In life, we are all under different journeys. And that is why some of us aren't as compassionate or helping as others. It's through this that I've learned to never judge anyone.  -  It's good to serve the Lord, it's good to help and be merciful to others. And every day we do something for someone, the lord up there takes note. In the show  -  How Spencer overcame cancer through prayer and Faith  -  Listen to Archbishop Spencer sing How Great Thou Art in English and Spanish  Did you know Spencer means Provider for others?

Chad welcomes Spencer Tenney, managing partner with the Tenney Group, which helps transportation industry business owners to buy, sell and value their companies. Chad and Spencer discuss how trucking companies can navigate the often treacherous transition process when the founder of a trucking company retires or sells the business to a successor.

But today Spencer is with us to help us understand how you can build your own website that sells your own products - independent of Amazon. Interested? Be sure you listen to this great episode. Why you need to move your success to your own platform. Spencer strongly believes that you need to take your success to a different platform once you’ve gotten your feet wet on Amazon. Why? Because you want to build something that you have entire control over, no matter what. On Amazon you have to follow the constantly changing rules and make sure you’re not making any mistakes. On your own site you are the king of the castle and you make up the rules. And maybe just as important, you’ll be cutting out the Amazon middleman that bites into your profit margin. Hear how Spencer and Scott suggest you take that step, on this episode. When is the right time to build your own website store? Let’s say you’ve had a private label product on Amazon for a while and you’re selling a decent amount of products every day. Should you take the step of creating your own website and trying to sell your products independent of Amazon? Spencer Haws says that once your products are selling well on Amazon you’ve got a great test case that shows that your products could sell independent of Amazon as well. Find out exactly how Spencer says you can know if you should take the step to build your own sales platform, on this episode. Using long tail keywords you can get lots of traffic. You may not even know what a long tail keyword is, but Spencer Haws believes that you’ve got to become skilled at identifying and using them if you’re going to have success building a sales site for your products that operates independently of Amazon. Spencer has proven on his own sites that going for the lesser known long tail keywords can be very successful in the long run. You can find out how Spencer does it, step by step, and the software tool he uses to do his research on this episode of The Amazing Seller. How you can get specific training to build your own niche website. If all of this website building talk sounds a bit scary to you, relax. Spencer Haws has created two ways you can learn everything you need to know to build a website the right way and start selling your products independent of Amazon. First is an internship where over the course of 4 weeks you’ll learn how to do everything you need to make your site stellar.

Spencer Haws is well known in the online entrepreneurial world. His site www.NichePursuits.com chronicles his experiments creating multiple niche based sites to generate varied streams of income to replace his J-O-B. He did it and has expanded to learn about SEO, website development, keyword research, and eventually to create his own software to do keyword research, www.LongTailPro.com. But when he heard about the possibilities of Amazon Private Label sales, Spencer just had to try it for himself. In this episode of The Amazing Seller you’re going to hear Spencer’s entire journey as an Amazon seller.   Why would a successful software developer give Amazon Private Label sales a try?   Spencer Haws is not your average software developer. In fact, he’s much more. Spencer’s interest in Amazon Sales comes from the fact that he’s naturally curious about the many ways that it’s possible to make money online. He’s always looking for recurring income, with as little administrative busywork and cost as possible. When he first heard about Amazon Private Label selling, it sounded too good to be true. He expected that there would be a huge time commitment, and there was at the beginning. But he soon realized that the potential of Amazon product sales far outweighs the drawbacks. Spencer shares his story and what he’s learned so far on this episode.   Generating product ideas from the needs you have in our own life.   Discovering a real felt need in the marketplace can be a difficult thing to do. But Spencer Haws doesn’t believe it really has to be all that difficult. His successful software, www.LongTailPro.com was developed for his own use simply because he had a need that none of the available software solutions could meet. It went on from there to become one of the most effective and widely-used SaaS products in the online business and blogging world. Spencer took that same belief into his Amazon Private Label sales efforts, believing that if he was experiencing a clear need that the marketplace was not providing a solution for, he couldn’t be the only one. Hear how Spencer went about the product selection process in this great conversation. Spencer Haws knows something about keyword research and he’s applying it to his Amazon product listings.   Keyword research is often spoken of only in the blogging, SEO, and online marketing communities. But Spencer’s expertise and experience as the head of a keyword research software company has shown him that every search algorithm, from Google to Amazon, uses keywords in one way or another. That belief has led him to do extensive keyword research relating to each of his Amazon Private Label products and the results have been amazing. The research has enabled him to rank for keywords his actual customers are using, but most of his competitors are not. The creative way he’s been able to apply that skill is making all the difference. Find out more about Spencer’s approach and beliefs regarding keyword research and your Amazon product listings, on this episode.   Don’t expect a lot of personal profit in your first six months as a Private Label seller.   But isn’t that why we’re doing this? To make money? Yes, it is, but you’ve got to understand that you’re building a business, not just a one-time source of income. That requires money to be invested back into the business so it can expand and solidify, building a base from which all your future income will flow. Most successful Amazon Sellers who make a living through their Amazon products spend the first 6 months (at least) putting their profits back into the business, and today’s guest -  Spencer Haws - is one of them. Learn how Spencer used the success of his first product to finance additional products in his niche by listening to this great episode.   OUTLINE OF THIS INTERVIEW EPISODE OF THE AMAZING SELLER   [0:05] Welcome to this episode, a discussion with Spencer Haws, creator of www.NichePursuits.com [1:16] Sign up for Scott’s live workshop!
