In 2019 I’m periodically doing a “Hang 10 with Dino” series with my guests. Backstory… When I served in the USN we’d go surfing when on liberty. I really enjoyed surfing so as a play on my surfing experience and passion for it – it was a combination of nature, meditation, athleticism, peace, escape, etc… (Mostly Surfed in the Atlantic off of the coast of Virginia and N. Carolina) I want my guests to give a little background on themselves in the Introduction then I’ll ask them “are you ready to Hang 10?” and we’ll go through 10 Questions. 1) What or when was your ah-ha moment that drove you towards real estate? 2) If you could go back and have a discussion with your younger self, what age would you be, and what would you say? Why? 3) Been the most influential person in your life and career? 4) What’s been the most instrumental tool that you use in your business? 5) What’s the best/most influential book (includes audio)/podcast/movie/documentary that has helped you throughout your life and real estate business? 6) What daily habits or rituals do perform that help you stay focused and be successful? 7) What’s the best piece of advice you would give to someone just starting out as a real estate investor? 8) What’s one thing you would have done differently when you first started in real estate investing? 9) If you had to choose one would it be to have $1 million (liquid) today or to travel back in time being able to take all the knowledge and wisdom you have and start over? Why? 10) What currently excites you? Or What projects are you working on?
