It's Jim and Tim on this Not For Me Wednesday as we head towards 2024. The fellas discuss the world of sports journalism, how do fans want their local teams to be covered. Who saw this coming, the Denver Broncos are benching Russell Wilson as the push to make the playoffs. Jordan Reffett swings by to talk about the Huskies taking on the Texas Longhorns in the College football playoffs. Jim shares some news about the Mariners, as they've acquired a new player.

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain chapter 8, narrated by Isaac BirchallWhen Huck wakes up, he is feeling very well rested, and comfortable on the island. He just starts to drift off to sleep again when he hears a giant “BOOM”. He runs over to investigate, and he sees a ferry boat firing a canon at the water, hoping to find Huck's “Body.” He is a bit worried that the ferry could come close to the island, but overall, he is enjoying the spectacle of it. Eventually the Ferry comes in close, and Huck sneaks a little closer to see if he can make out who is looking for him. Most everybody was there, his dad, Mrs Watson, Judge Thatcher, Tom Sawyer, and a smattering of others. Huck stays back trying to hide even more, and eventually the ferry moves off down the island to try and look elsewhere for the body. Huck finally has some time to set up his camp, cooking, fishing, and preparing his things. After 3 days he goes exploring, and he finds plenty of fruits that are just coming into season, he finds birds, snakes, and all sorts of animals, but finally, he comes across a smouldering campfire, and Huck runs back to his camp where he plans what needs to be done. Eventually Huck decides to try and find out who is on the island with him. He takes off in his canoe and makes his way to the bottom of the island where he gets out and begins to make his way back to the other camp. He makes his way slowly and he sees a man laying on the ground and as the sun starts to rise, the man wakes up. It's Jim! Mrs Watson's slave. Huck manages to convince Jim that he is not actually dead, and Jim tells Huck that he has been on the island just as long as he has. The two set up camp and eat some food, and Huck tells Jim about how he faked his death and after this, Huck asks Jim why he is on the island. Hesitatingly, Jim reveals that he has run away; that he is a runaway slave. Huck is shocked but promises not to tell anyone that Jim has run off. Jim then explains his reasons for running away and how he managed to swim to the island.

David does The News.

Jennifer is still on vacation, and I'm recovering from surgery. So today's podcast is a repeat from a year ago.  Fun to see how things that we heard a year ago still apply. Another example of how we don't plan our podcasts - we could, we can, but in this case, we just let Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside dictate who was going to chat with us. First up was Jennifer's dad Jim, the Mormon bishop who passed five years ago, who had in the past showed us some amazing things on the flipside, including an Akashic library (I asked him to access a memory that Jennifer had no awareness of - and he showed her an event she had forgotten).  Jim has shown us the astrophysics class he attends on the flipside a few times, and I've had the opportunity to interview his teacher (who some folks on the planet refer to as Ma Durga.)   So when he shows up to chat, I do my best to ask questions that might have some resonance to what we discuss - the process of accessing information from the flipside. It's Jim's birthday during the podcast, and we take the time to say Happy Birthday Jennifer's dad Jim. Towards the end, three people who I met in life showed up - one was and is a close friend, Charles Grodin, who brought along with him two of his close friends. Gene Wilder (who helped start Chuck's career) and his wife Gilda Radner.  Now for those who are up on these kinds of things, yes Gene was remarried - and yes, he did have Alzheimers late in life - but that has zero to do with accessing the energy of who they are. I'm sorry they showed up at the end of our podcast, as Jennifer did have to move on to helping her clients.  Suffice to say, I know that Charles has shown up in the past, we've interviewed both Gene and Gilda in the past - and those interviews are in the books BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE as well as a "workbook" to help anyone do this same kind of "chatting with the flipside." Jennifer's off to Montana this week, hopefully we'll be back next week, but either way - remember, your loved ones are not far away, and it doesn't require a medium, hypnotherapy or meditation to access them - but all can and do help.   

To be clear, Solo Jim is reading the emails listeners have sent to mrtunaboot@gmail.com there's been no hacking involved.This episode? It's Jim apologising. Describing next week's episode a bit. He has a sore shoulder from falling over. He then fails to make a ghost story interesting...Some other stuff. Then into the emails which are odd. There's a bit of keyboard as well. Then more apologising...I think? Album recommendation of the Week: "Palpitant" - Film Noir (2022)Rate us at 5 Stars, it only takes a minute and helps us out. Use the links below to get in touch.

The clouds have parted for cinema and what can we see? Whales. And no, we're not talking about the whales from that Star Trek movie that had the whales in it. Nor are we talking about Brendan Fraser's uncharacteristically heartbreaking performance in Darren Aronofsky's characteristically exhausting film school project. No, we're talking about a slightly larger whale in a much larger film. That's right, folks, it's time for the long-awaited sequel to Avatar...Avatar: The Way of Water. James Cameron returns from the depths of his own ego to remind us how movies of this type are actually meant to look, work, and feel. It's Jim's world, we just live in it. So take the blue pill and join us (and the rest of the world) in rooting for the Viet Cong. Oel ngati kameie. P.S. Avatar Wiki let us know that Jake Sully released his toruk at the end of the first film. The red dragon lives.

We talked all things Scary. Jeffery Dahmer, The Ring, the Exorcist you name it we talk about it because we Halloween so well! The guys disagree on Halloween's best candy. Who had the best costumes growing up? Come hang out for a few minutes and get in the mood for gabba-da-ghouls.

Live from San Diego,  It's Jim & Rafael (together again) People in every generation think they are the ones facing the greatest challenges of all time. Was the Holocaust, Civil War, Armenian Holocaust, Black Plague, Nagasaki and Hiroshima more traumatic than any of our current events? American sociologist Kai Erickson, author of “Everything in Its Path” and international teacher and scholar, Thomas Hubl, are both famous for coining the term “Collective Trauma.” They focus on the shared experience of the collective and why it matters. Trauma that impacts many of us on a collective level can lead to solutions on a global level. It can lead to collective empathy and alignment, e.g., how most of the world has united around Ukraine. Conversely, it can lead to a tsunami of dissociation, PTSD, Alexithymia, thought and emotional dysregulation, wars, factionalism, violence, and suicide.Jim and Rafael discuss Rafael's new office and Jim's office envy. They also go deep by exploring contemporary trauma events on a massive scale, i.e. COVID, the war in Ukraine, the slap heard around the world at the Oscars, inflation, ecological disasters, and the fraying of our social fabric. Collective traumas impact individuals within societies and individuals between societies. It is affecting what therapists are seeing every day. There is a ripple effect. We cannot “unsee” the war in Ukraine on T.V. Just a couple of years ago we were collectively upset about cyber bullying, the lack of a workable vaccine, masks as a political issue versus a health issue, fake news, the election, cancel culture, hate speech on Twitter. Now we are wondering if Elon Musk will take over Twitter and the world and we are on our second booster shot. Now it seems like you cannot even watch an awards show - - without it slapping you hard across the face.  Yet, there is good news listeners. Rafael and Jim discuss how we can tap into our most vulnerable parts of ourselves and find our greater self. Yes, we can cultivate gratitude and kindness and still believe that good triumphs evil - - without seeming overly Pollyanna. We can learn to self and co-regulate. There is an opportunity for the collective (not just individuals) to become courageous, resilient, determined, and aware. WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

This week I'm thrilled to have Dr. Veronica Ruelas and Denise Gaffney as my guests to chat Forgiveness. Veronica and Denise are the co-founders of Forgivity, an app designed to foster a habit of forgiveness. To be fair, when I first heard about turning forgiveness into a habit, I was a bit hesitant. Forgiveness as a habit was nowhere near anything I would have considered. Throw on top of it a neuroscientific and psychological angle, and all of a sudden I'm becoming a big fan. I love the concept, especially in the context of the workplace. We touch on it in the podcast, but ultimately it should lead to a broader conversation of those “soft” words and terms (think vulnerability, psychological safety) that are vital to a functioning and more productive workplace culture. Ironically, these words we attribute as “soft” are embraced by the strongest and bravest leaders we know. They work. Beyond the workplace, there is an accountability aspect to forgiveness that I never gave much thought. It's a personal power to be able to forgive, and is one more notch on the belt of what we ultimately have control over. In fact, it's the lack of forgiveness that often prevents us from getting to where we need to go. Lots more to come on forgiveness – and one topic I encourage you to explore for yourself and your teams. Listen to the interview – they are fantastic – and learn how forgiveness just may be the buzzword that makes a significant difference for you this year. The Forgivity app is now available for download on iOS. For more information on the app, please visit www.forgivity.com.

Click Here for an Unedited Transcript of the Podcast I'm Jim Frawley and this is bellwether. Welcome to bellwether. Thank you for being here this week. We have guests, multiple guests for the first time we're doing, you know, we've got a trio going here and it's gonna be very, very good. The topic is forgiveness, and I know it's, you know, it's forgiveness. We, we can all talk about forgive for some reason. It's one of the hottest words in corporate right now. I've gotten multiple phone calls about it right now. Everybody wants to know about how do you bring forgiveness into the workplace and what does that actually mean? Uh, which took me a little by surprise and, and very fortunately, almost, you know, as the world and universe can kind of work at the same time, I was introduced to these two wonderful individuals who have a solution for forgiveness in the workplace, and they have the app. Everything is an app, and this is, uh, this is going to be a very, very cool app. So I wanna talk to you about forgiveness. I'm gonna talk about the forgive app and let me introduce our wonderful guest this week. I'm gonna start with, we have Denise and Vero Vero. Please introduce yourself.Hi, I'm I'm Dr. Veronica OS and I'm the co-founder and co CEO of forg.And I'm Denise Kaney, I'm the other co-founder and co CEO of forg. Um, I have 20 years on wall street. I'm a certified, uh, energy leadership coach, and now I'm an entrepreneur,Which is a wonderful journey to be on. And when I think about wall street, I don't typically think of forgiveness unless you think about it in, you know, kind of government handouts, but we'll, we'll talk about, um, at, in a difficult corporate environment. Talk to me, we'll get it right out of the way. Yeah. Talk to me about the forgiving app, what it does and why you created it.So, um, it's, it's an, we use, uh, clinical neuroscience methods to, um, make forgiveness a more intuitive behavior because it's, it's not something we're, we're all taught that forgiveness is important and it's universal, but, uh, the, how is really missing from the equation. And so, um, yeah, so we, we infuse, uh, humor. It's a multisensory program. There's audio learning, there's engaging digestible, uh, nuggets throughout and, and, uh, yeah, and it's a, it's a beautiful, uh, fresh clean platform.Yeah. And you got a lot of us on there. We, uh, Vero mentioned the audio. We had a great time bringing a different type of learning to the app. So you'll hear our voices. We, we recorded these little snippets called pod drops, and we'll introduce each of the steps of the program with, uh, a little warm invite from the two of us. And then you'll hear us throughout the program, uh, either with a bit of information or a quote or, um, some personal experience because like, who wouldn't wanna hear us, Jim? Right.Everybody wants to hear you cause why you're here. It's why I have everyone on the, the show. My goodness,Hear this. They're gonna be like, let me at the app. and you've, you'll be in that too. You're everywhere. Um, so forgiveness and science would never have paired the two together. Mm-hmm um, you hear that you're supposed to forgive people. It's very much, um, you know, when we teach people how to forgive, uh, how does that even work? Right. When I think of forgiveness, I think of it externally, right? You had some wrong come to you and how do you let them, that person know that it's okay. And, and talking to you, it's not necessarily letting them know that what they did was okay. It's about letting them know that you won't let it bother you. Is that how do you define forgiveness and, and how do we really start that?So we, uh, um, we were a lot, all of us were taught the importance of forgiveness and, um, and it was either through culture, through our family, through our religious practice that we were born into. And so, uh, we are actually empowering the user to have forgiveness come from within them. Um, people can still use the ways that they learned, uh, how to forgive, but we F that a lot of, a lot of times we say we forgive, and then yet a little time further down the road, we think of the person that has quote, wronged us. Um, and we still have a physical reaction to it. So when you say the science, there's, there's a deep biological, chemical reaction that is happening when we live in this kind of quote unforgiveness. And so, uh, our heart rate can increase. We, um, uh, lose sleep. Uh, there's a lot of different ways that it is affecting us. And so when we teach forgiveness, it's really about how do we get to that fully, that full process of letting go and releasing it and knowing that it is that have the power within us to do that.So it's, it's not just, when you think about forgiveness, it's not just a mental health thing, there's physical attributes to it as well. And, and we talk about how the physical and the mental always, they go hand in hand, right? You know, what you eat can affect the way you think in all of those types of things, forgiveness is actually has a, a physical response. Is that what you're saying?A hundred percent? What if, what if we broke it down to, um, what if we took the word forgiveness out and spoke about stress, everybody's familiar with the effects that stress has on the body? Right. Well, the link between forgiveness and stress is unforgiveness and resentment and anger and irritation and grudge holding. So all of those things, right, that all of us do, um, contribute to the increased stress in our bodies. So does that feel like more of a linear type of, of thing to understand? Sure.And, and the resentment of, as we sit there, you know, we, when you think about coaching and what, and what everybody teaches people to do is focus on what you can't control, right? You can't control when somebody treats you like garbage, you can't control when something wrong happens to you, you can't, but you can't control how you react much easier said than done. Mm-hmm . So when we think about, it's almost meditative, the way you're doing it, it's, it's a stress relief of, you know, parasympathetic, nervous system, all of those types of things. And how do you turn off? But this is something that's got to become habitual, I would imagine, right? Because this will constantly come back. Resentment will constantly come back. When other stressors come in, you can always fall back on the resentment that you had and, and you're ultimately blaming other people. How does, you know, how do habits cut into this? How does accountability, uh, set into this? Because ultimately this is your responsibility for forgiveness, not necessarily, regardless of what somebody else does to you. Talk to me a little bit about that,Jim. I mean, um, you're hired, do you want a board position? I mean, you nailed, let's do it. Yes. Seriously.You, I mean, you're good. It's Jim's sandwich.It's it's um, that's exactly right. When we see it's a neuroscience program, we're talking about, uh, the neuroplasticity, uh, we re we talk about retraining brain. So that's how we start to create habitual, uh, patterns. So that behaviors start to, um, uh, express themselves in sustainable ways. Right. So, um, we've used the analogy, right? It can't like, uh, wake up one day and just run the marathon. Right? So we, it takes, it takes practice. It takes muscle memory. And so as we start to educate ourselves, I mean, these are things that we also needed to learn too. We've gone through 50 years of research. I mean, there has been so much in terms of cultural, culturally, how we forgive changes, um, our religious organizations. Uh, so it's all there, but it's so interesting. There's all these little or caveats that like, you can forgive if it's this, or you forgive on this day, or you forgive if you go to this person.And so, um, we respect and honor all of that. Uh, but there, but there's still that kind of like, like you said, every day we can wake up and there's new resentments. If any of us are in, um, partnership, we know that mm-hmm . And so every day a were given ample opportunity to be able to use this. And so we really believe that it's just, as we just don't know, we don't know how damaging living in unforgiveness is. We don't know the magic and miracles of forgiveness can bring in our lives. Once we excavate, uh, that resentment from us and, uh, start to really cut those chains that bind us what the possibilities are. And once we start to learn that through the program, because it is gently and lovingly reminding throughout, um, we start to lay down those new neural tracks so that when something happens, instead of safety of resentment, we have the confidence and the faith to now turn and go into a different direction of forgiveness.And if, if I could, um, piggyback on that, Jim, you mentioned coaching and, um, we can't control the outside forces. We can only control how we react, right. Um, it's the other person. We, if this, we teach forgiveness is innate. It's the power we have within ourselves. The minute we start putting condition on what forgiveness looks like, we give the power away. We wanna keep that here. So no matter what happens from the smallest transgression to something horribly traumatic, that we know that, that we have a choice and it's only about us. Otherwise we keep ourselves tied energetically to the very thing that's causing the resentment, the pain, the trauma, who would wanna do that. If you, if you break it down into a real simplistic terms, it's like, do you choose to be hurt? Or do you choose to be empoweredNow? Well, so some people are gluts for punishment.Yep.So let's talk about those people who are looking to be wrong, right. Who are looking for those types of things who are looking for, you know, uh, is that just some kind of mental health issue? Is that something where, you know, they have to, when we think about forgiveness, how does it, because I'm, I'm eventually gonna tie this back to corporate, right. And that's where I really wanna go with this because yes. You've said three things between the two of you. One is it's never about the other person. So it's individual accountability. What's personal capability in bringing that in mm-hmm . And where does that tie into things? Like you said, Vero, you said the word safety, so psychological safety and the lack of forgiveness. I think a lot of what you're talking about is not just forgiveness, but it's more important is the lack of forgiveness that exists in the workplace. How do you, how do you measure other people on that? How do you teach that in a corporate environment? Talk to me a little bit about, you know, individual personal capability, teaching that within the context of psychological safety and, and the corporate environment.So, um, so in terms of, in terms of the individual, um, I'm, I'm sorry, I'm just trying, I'm trying, cuz I'm I'm on the, it wasA loaded question with like 17 built into it.IOgrapher can I, can you read that back to me please? CanWe get a read back? yeah, let me break, let me ask it this way. Cuz I, I did ask seven questions in one we'll start with psychological safety.Okay. Yeah. So psychological,How do you create an environment where forgiveness is accepted or that, that doesn't reward? Lack of forgiveness.Okay. There was a, there was something about victim that was coming up when you were speaking in the, in the first time. Um, so how do we create a safe environment? And um, but I, I also want to, uh, validate and affirm that, uh, there's some really heavy things that need to be forgiven. And uh, and so when we're talking about forgiveness, it's not like we're putting ourselves up on a hierarchy. Oh, I have the power to forgive I'm bestowing forgiveness onto this. It's not about that. Um, and we want to, and along the way, we really, when we wrote the program, kept in mind the people that, uh, really have some big trauma that need to be forgiven. So, um, holding onto a resentment feels like a boundary, a safe boundary that I'm, I'm keeping up between me and my transgressor and that, um, that feels very real.Um, and so what we're, what we're saying is by forgiving them, we're not, um, putting our selves in harm's way. We're not putting ourselves in, in an, in an unsafe environment. It's just that we're releasing these binds that they have to us. Right. So we can forgive and never be in relationship with the other person. Again, we can forgive and never have to, um, let them into our lives. And so that's a really important distinction to make because we, a lot of us have been taught, forgive and forget. Yeah. Or, um, forgiveness doesn't mean that I condone what you did to me or that, um, you and I are ever gonna be friends again. Right. So that's really important in terms of safety. Um, so I wanted to just, uh, put that in there. And then in terms of, uh, co company and culture, we Denise and I talk a lot about this because we offer forg, um, to, uh, businesses now for bulk subscription because, uh, there is, um, widespread, toxic company culture going on.And so how can we start to again, create that, um, retraining the brain to under standing that like one, something people are gonna fail us every single day that is we're human, right. So, I mean, it's just gonna happen. Um, I'm gonna fail my husband. He's gonna fail me. Even those that we love our children, our children are gonna fail us. So in inside the, um, work environment, um, when that happens already having those tools and be being able to look at the person who has done something as an entire human being, right. Humanizing that person so that we're not just, um, hyper focusing on what they did. Um, but we're able to see, yes, they did that. And there are all these other things, right. They're a good parent, they're they have goodness in them. So it's, it's allowing, it's allowing ourselves to, um, have the capacity to be able to, uh, not be, um, not see, uh, not see someone as their act alone. So that already starts to invite in, um, a more way of how we, uh, are in our, in our careers.Um, Denise,Do you wanna add to that?I, I would love to. Yeah. Um, we are working with a lot of corporations at the moment. And so this pitch is right on the tip of our tongues and I want to, um, bring it back to the safety of the corporate environment. Boundaries are hugely important. We teach, um, having good boundaries in the app because otherwise you leave the door open for, uh, transgressions to just keep coming in. Right. Um, and when we forgiveness fluency and we, and we get that muscle, that forgiveness muscle tight leadership is more effect teams work more coherently employees have better time management skills because they're not sitting at their desk ruminating about the guy that stole their idea or, you know, screwed them out of a deal or whatever. Um, attendance is better. Productivity is better all because of forgiveness, because if I am a able to be, um, an empowered person with great boundaries and the ability to not let resentment live inside of me, I have all of this bandwidth for so many other things, creativity, um, you know, productivity, uh, just the things that a leader or a corporation will on an employee. They don't,It's amazing how much resentment just takes away from productivity and how much timeEvery, I mean, well, it starts with, you're laying in bed at night. And you're thinking about Joe Schmo, who, who got, who got your deal, who got your client or who, whatever who's, you know, and then, so it starts with lack of sleep, everybody, what lack of sleep does right then it's inflammation then it's you, can't, you're tired. So you can't concentrate. So now your time management's screwed up and your resiliency layer is thin. So you're irritable, you're nasty. You're not a good team player. You suck as a leader. If we could just draw the lines from, from all those things, it seems very like simple right now.And that be,Go ahead, Viro.I was gonna say, and that behavior's contagious, right? Yes. So then all of a sudden now, um, now my, uh, colleague and my team members are gonna pick up on this anger bug that I have. And then now it's just like, you know, and then that's starts to have that you, um, effect. And so now if we came in to work in from the forgiving lens, from the compassionate lens, um, from having a tremendous amount of self-awareness and presence, let's let that be the contagion contagious effect. Right?So in terms of that, and I, I have to ask this question because when I talk about psychological safety and I pitch it to clients, mm-hmm , they roll their eyes. Cause they don't know what it is. And they think it sounds like a very weak word mm-hmm . And when I think back to becoming a coach and leaving corporate, also wall street words, like love never came out, right. It just don't do it. Psychological safety sounds like something, you know, soft for millennials, forgiveness, compassion. This is a place of work. We don't all need to be friends depending on which generation you're from and everything else. We know that the science is there, that there's validity to it. And once I explain to people what psychological safety is, they say, oh yeah, of course. It's just, you know, that's just a weak title. Um, of course we want that. We want everybody to talk and, and feel comfortable and everything. That's what we want. How do we get people past the fact that it's a weak word? When in actuality, we know that the bravest leaders are the ones who are able to do it. And, and it's a very strong word. How do we convince people to sign on at the beginning to at least first filter is there's validity to this and it's not just kind of weakness. How would you answer that?Um, well I would say just asking the people, do you wanna live be life or do you wanna be angry all the time? Do you wanna feel sick and have lack of connection and control or do you want to have power and freedom? Um, because forgiveness may sound like a weak word, but it's actually the bravest step we can take in our own freedom, our own power, um, independence. Right. Um, I hear what you're saying, but 10 years ago people thought meditation was weak.Exactly. Right, right. And now you've got like whim off the Iceman breathing for, you know, whatever. Yeah. So,You know what you wanna be brave. You wanna be cutting edge, jump on the forgiveness wagon because that's the brave way to go. Not sitting in the old story, in the feeling of, of unhealth and unforgiveness. That's actually not brave. That's the weak. That is the weaker choice.And I'm sure we could tie it down like psychological, safety's tied to bottom line revenue forgiveness. I imagine very similarly. How much of this going back to what you said before, not leaving the door open for other additional transgressions. Right. And I think to Adam grants, uh, hello, kittycat Adam grants give her taker, um, you know, there are givers at work and there are takers at work and you'll burn out. Yeah. How can you head it off at the pass? Can you stop transgressions before they come? And how much of forgiveness is done in advance where you're communicating expectations of what's acceptable and not?Um, I don't know if, I don't know if you can, you can stop transgressions at the door cause people are gonna be people, right. It's almost like saying like I wanna lift li life without being triggered. Triggers are gonna happen. Right. Um, these, these, um, so I see a transgression, almost like a trigger. It's an, it's almost an opportunity for us to kind of, um, to go ahead and, uh, transcend what's happening. And so, um, but, uh, when we have really clean and clear boundaries, that definitely makes it more difficult for other, other people. Like we're already setting a precedence, this is my space. This is how I communicate. Um, and, uh, I'm loving with boundaries. Mm-hmm . And so, uh, boundaries don't mean that I, I have to be a jerk to anybody. Um, but it just means that I'm clean and clear. And so, uh, that start, that sends, definitely sends out a clear signal. And if we look at, from a place of energetics, um, you know, there's that saying, like, if you choose the right environment, it'll do the rest of the work for you. And so, um, so it's really, really important. Um, the energy that, that we have within us, that we're exuding out. That doesn't mean that bad things aren't still gonna happen. You know, mean bad things happen to good people all the time.And, and I think it goes back to building the muscle too. Like, um, the, if, if we are in a practice of something, it becomes intuitive. Um, and so with the, with forg, that's actually what we're teaching people. We're, we're reinforcing the practice. We're retraining rain, we're creating new neuro pathways. It then becomes an intuitive reflex so that the transgresion as zero said is always going to happen. But our response and our response time will change with time as that muscle gets really strong.Now, one of the words that keeps popping into my head is we talk is cons sequence, right? I know people who are not getting crossed at the workplace because people fear consequence. Right. I would never cross this individual because you know, it's gonna burn me in the end. And there are other people where you feel like fine. You can forgive me all you want, I'm still gonna, you know, do that transgression and you have that power and whatever. Where does concert sequence fit in or is that too externally focused? You know, what, where does consequence fall into boundaries and, and what does that look like?Well, there, there, there should always still be, uh, justice, right? We're not saying forgiveness doesn't mean like, you know, you have car blanche to do here's the other cheek. Okay. Here's the, you know, okay, let me do it myself. I mean, it is, it's about, um, yeah, I mean, if, if someone, if someone wrongs us, we should speak up, we should, uh, defend ourselves. Uh, that has, that is completely separate from forgiveness. And, and again, that's, that's so interesting. And I'm so happy you brought up this point, Jim, because that's what people think mm-hmm, , I've, I, that's what I thought. That's why it's seen as such a soft, uh, topic when it's like, when, because it's like, yeah, no, I'm not gonna leave myself open to, um, to people wronging me no way. And, um, and so that, that's why having the resentment gives that illusion sense of safety. Um, but no, stand your ground, speak your voice. Um, we're just saying don't hold onto it.Right? Let itGo internally. Let it go. That'sThere's something too. That's coming up for me. And like I say, this, uh, a lot, this ain't your mom's forgiveness, Jim, this is the modern approach to what forgiveness means. This is non dogmatic. This is, um, nontraditional. This is, I choose to recognize that X, Y, and Z happened. This is how I feel about it. This is what I lost. This is what I learned. This is how a human, the other person. And then this is how I move on from the event. And that's where all the power happens.So we're separating it and it is a unique, right. We're separating it from standing up for yourself. We're self-respect and all of those types of things. And this is really, you know, a mental exercise are there. I I've been thinking about this since we first talked and I don't know how to frame it. So gonna ask it who's better at forgiving men or women.Right. That's a great question. So we, um, there, there's been a lot of studies on this and, um, and they've even split up cultures to which cultures have more masculine traits and which cultures have more feminine traits. So women are better at forgiving. Men are better at forgetting. And so when we say, um, so when we say in terms of forgiveness, women are better at forgiving because we, uh, tend to, or, um, forgive more from the heart. It's, it's more of an emotional decision. Um, and when we do it, we're doing it because it it's for kind of, for the betterment of the tribe. So there's a collective that's part, that's called a collectivistic culture. And so that tends to have more feminine traits. Um, I'm doing it for us and men will forgive, um, um, and forget more easily, which is, again, we don't teach forgive and forget.Right. But, um, but is good, right? I mean, it's like the definition of hap yeah. The Def definition of happiness is good health and a bad memory. Right. So we're all about that too. Um, we're not negating that. Um, but men will forgive more decisionally from their head, which is, um, more for self, which is, uh, part of what's called the indivi individualistic it culture. So the United States is an individualistic culture. Um, and then we look at, you know, some, uh, uh, like, uh, some countries in south America are more, um, are more collectivistic. So it's, it's not so much in terms of like, who's better at it. It's just different ways of going at it. And, um, yeah, I mean, I, I, I bet women wish that they could forget more easily too. Um, but they, they, they seem to have they process it differently. That's all.Um, if I might drop in a personal little story, um, Vero and I were talking about this and I, I was saying, how 20 years on a trading floor, I witnessed some really gross behavior, not just, you know, the, the stuff that you read about, you know, in, uh, the articles, but physical anger come out on the floor. I mean, pun hitting with a hard, you know, those big, old, black hard phones. I saw people beating each other and it's primarily men. So I could say like, you know, everybody around me was, was basically male except for a few. And then they were just stop. And then it would be over because they needed the next deal. They were like, I'm beating somebody one minute and shaking hands the next minute, or having a, or having a beer after work because they need that guy for, for money in their pocket. So that was like a real, that, that was so obvious to me about how, I don't know if it's forgiveness, but it, it was definitely moving on from the, from the, from the event.Right. I, I feel like, you know, boys, growing up, you get into a fist fight and then it's over. Mm. Whereas I think of, you know, the story of just girls growing up, never speak to each other again, because they wore the same outfit or something ridiculous. Um, but, but you're right. You know, when I think of me, there are people wrong, me and they're effectively dead to of me. Like, I just don't think about them anymore and they're not, you know, I would never, but I'm sure if I saw them, it would bring everything back where I'm like, I don't like you. Um, but my wife on the other hand is fantastic about just addressing something and just clearing, clearing the air and, and getting rid of it. Um, is there a place for the forgive and forget, or is that just kind of irrelevant for this part of the, you know, do we need to teach more people how to address the, you know, yes. Logically I know I'm never gonna do anything with these people, and that's how I forget, like logically you're dead to me and that's fine. Emotionally. I haven't, is there a logic versus emotion component to this that that needs to be talked about?Yeah, well, we have to really be careful because I think that, uh, so there's something called bypassing, right. So if I just is like, okay, you're dead to me. I haven't processed what's happened. I haven't really like honored. There was, there was something that was done and it hurt that I felt. And, um, I need to honor that. And what, and what is my lesson in that? Right. So, um, so we can just forget through a, by just bypassing, I'm just gonna skip over that part. And so, um, so there's that, um, and, um, yeah, I mean, I just, so I, I just wanted to drop that in there because it's really important. I don't know if either is like more healthy than the other, the way the women do it, or the way that men are do it. Um, forgive and forget is amazing. If we can truly do it, mm-hmm right. That's really like, I'm gonna forgive really forgive because I went through the entire process. I did digested everything. I alchemized it. And I transmuted it out into space. It's done. And I'm able to forget every time I see you, my heart's not gonna start racing. Right. That kind of having that kind of charge, um, really shows us that we haven't really, we haven't completed the process yet.Right. We haven't addressedThat. You, you mentioned that with your own experience, Jim, right? Like if you see the person, all of a sudden you get jacked up again, it's because you parked all that somewhere down deep so that you could be a productive member of society, but the truth is it's still there. It's like, you know, hanging out, down there, taking up space festering. I like to use the example. I may have said this to you in the past of, you know, when you're, um, RS probably says like hearing this, but when you're recycling the peanut butter jar, it's the most annoying, difficult thing to get into the recycle bin because there's that stuff at the bottom of the peanut butter jar that you gotta clean out somehow, that's what real forgiveness is. It's getting to the bottom of the thing. That's bugging the crap out of you and, and real leasing it. And like Vero said, alchemizing it. And transmuting it. And then you're, then you're good. Then you can toss that thing in the, in the thing, in the,I mean, you could just throw it away anyway. But it's not the right thing. I hear what you're saying.You're right. But you're firedFinal question off the board very quickly. That was a very quick, is there a limit, is there a limit to forgiveness? Is it possible to, to do things or, or, or, you know, where does, where does forgiveness actually end or the, the ability to forgive end?We, we really believe that everything is forgivable. And again, we wanna honor that there are huge things that people, uh, will feel called to forgive huge traumas that have happened, but we've got endless stories of, um, people who've ordinary people who are forgiven extraordinary things and the magic that has come into their lives, uh, the miracles that have come into their lives, the, the places they've gone to that they've elevated to, uh, is, is, I mean, it's remarkable. Mm-hmm . And so, yeah, everything, everything is forgivable. And I, and, you know, we, we ask that question in our podcast, like, what's that thing that's unforgivable, mm-hmm, , you know, everyone, and everyone's got an answer and it's, it's usually similar and of course has to do around children. And, and so, um, so, you know, again, honoring, honoring how painful and devastating that is, um, and just knowing that there are people out there that are able to forgive that. And, um, and, and yeah, I mean, that's, that is, uh, and it's just anyway, so I, yeah, so that, that's our belief, but I'll let Denise drop in on that too.Yeah. I would say that, um, prior to doing this deep, deep work unforgiveness, I would've said that certain things were unforgivable. Um, what I've learned in these beautiful that we are going to include, um, in forgi 2.0, they're called, uh, catching miracles. Um, there are so many stories of people that went through horrific trauma and they made a choice to work through it. Of course, a lot of work through it. We're huge proponents in therapy. And we understand mental health is, uh, it has to be addressed tremendous traumatic situations. Um, they did the work and they decided to do other things. Um, they have, that's why I say, it's not your mom's for forgiveness. They forgave, they forgave even a way that, um, honored their loss and allowed them to move forward in a different capacity without being tied to that awful, awful thing that happened. And I, we look at them and say, if they can do it, anybody can do it. The human, the human heart and mind has the CAPA, this type of healing. And if one of us can do it, all of us can do it.Excellent. That's a perfect way to, to wrap it. I love the idea. I love the topic of forgiveness. Um, the final things we always end on the book recommendation and how people can find you. So why don't you tell me about how people can find you first, uh, more information be on bellweather hub.com, but how can people find you help support you?

Um, I am, I brought a current read with me because I also thought this was tied into your audience gym. It's called emotional currency. Um, and the, uh, the tag is a woman's guide to building a ha a healthy relationship with money and it's, um, money as energy. And that the re better the relationship is with one type of energy.

Let's pretend that you've been attracting business for five to 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, and you're going to get towards that retirement stage. How the fuck do you sell your practice? Or what do you do next, you just stop selling. Today we're joined by a couple out of actually Illinois, Peoria, Illinois. And this is what they do. They focus on the transition, post real estate career. First we have Jessica ball who has been an agent just under five years with REMAX truth unlimited. Justin Ball is a Real Estate Investor/Entrepreneur. They're about to publish a book that will help realtor monetize their business as they retire and teach other real estate agents how to do this. Three Things You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy maintaining good relations with other realtors is importantWhat you can do to help others while benefitting yourselfHow to monetize your business as they retireResourcesJessica's WebsiteReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramTranscript:So how do you attract new business, you constantly don't have to chase it. Hi, I'm Mike Cuevas to real estate marketing. And this podcast is all about building a strong personal brand people have come to know, like trust and most importantly, refer. But remember, it is not their job to remember what you do for a living. It's your job to remind them. Let's get started.What's up ladies and gentlemen, welcome another episode of the real estate marketing dude. Podcast. What we're going to be doing here today, folks is talking a little bit about the future quite often on the show, we talk quite a bit about how to build in the current in the now and how to make now business better yet attractive, not necessarily chase it. But let's just pretend that you've been attracting business for five to 10 years, 15 years, 20 years, and you're going to get towards that retirement stage. How the fuck do you sell your practice? Or what do you do next, you just stop selling. I know, when I moved out to San Diego, I just literally stopped cold turkey probably wasn't the smartest move. But I was burnt out, I didn't really give a shit. I was just ready to go. And I was done with real estate and that sense in Chicago, however, I probably could have set up like a really easy to go referral network, I still get referrals back there. And I don't even try and wish I should have done it better. So what we're going to be doing today is we're joined by a couple out of actually Illinois, Peoria, Illinois. And this is what they do. They focus on the transition, post real estate career. And eventually under one day, you're going to retire or you're going to stop selling and you're gonna do what I did burn out and something's gonna happen. There's a reason why most people don't last this long in this business, no matter who you are. It gets tiring, it gets old and you want to do some different and other opportunities will come up. What are you doing to get to that point? That's what we're gonna chat about today? How do you monetize everything you worked for so hard? Prior to those 10 years, like if you built a business of 20 years selling real estate, you're just gonna walk away and let that go away? It'd be like opening up a bakery and just saying, Hey, I'm gonna close the doors tomorrow, not sell the business and not do anything else to it. So what do we do with that? So that's what we're gonna be chatting about today. So without further ado, let's go ahead and introduce our guest, Jessica and Justin ball. How're you guys doing? Good. Good.Glad to be on the show. Man. I'm listener, and it's awesome to be a part of it.Thank you. Well, guys, like you just have to call and ask if you don't get if you don't ask you don't get you guys just fucking called me I think and said, Hey, I have this thing. I'm like, I'm looking for shows. And I'm like, Alright, let's just do it. You're from Peoria to cool. Let's see what's up. So that's basically where we're at guys want you to tell everyone a little bit about yourselves. And then let's get right into this interview. Yeah,I am Jessica ball. I have been an agent just under five years with REMAX truth unlimited. And I added Peoria and I lead a small team. And really where this came from watch it. I'll let Justin introducing stuff real quick. And then we'll jump into kind of where this brainchild came from on what we're doing. Sure.So Mike, I am a long time unpaid, unlicensed assistant and one of the best in the business. And then 2021, I got my real estate license. I've always been an investor. And I'm looking forward to doing commercial real estate investing to support the Jessica ball team.Awesome. So what do you guys stumble across here?Yeah. So when I first started, I was I was coming out of a 10 year law enforcement career. And so I had no idea how to do marketing or anything like that. And I was looking for a way to grow my own sphere grow my business. And we realized that there were agents that were retiring from our brokerage that pretty much just said, Hey, I'm retired, anyone want to buy a few signs? Great. And then they're out the door. And it's like, well, what just happened? All their clients that someone taking care of those, what happened? And we started asking questions, and a lot of times people just kind of shut the doors and walked away with no plan in place. And so we really dug down deep into how can one we help those agents monetize their business as they retire. But then also, for agents like myself looking to grow their business, how can they benefit from that as well and helping an agent do that? And that traveler?So then you started seeing some of the retirees a new created this is I see where we're going right now? Um, yeah, I could, I could. It's interesting, because people just, you know, when you get to that stage, you're just sort of like, Ah, I'm Bert. A lot of times and they don't really think about this, but keep going interesting. Sothe first succession plan that we did was with a long term residential agent, who had ironically bought someone's book of business about 15 years before that. And so we sat down with him and said, Tell us about your sphere of influence. Tell us about your database and your CRM, and how can we make a plan over the next 18 months for you to introduce us to your clients, the ones who are really engaged and give you a lot of referrals as well as the ones who may have bought five years ago or own an investment property and do these How do we really build trust and show them that we're a team working together so that when you retire, they pick up the phone, and they call us or when you are in Florida and you say, Hey, I have this team and Justin and Jessica, they're going to be working with you. They say to themselves, that's awesome. I know who these people are, I trust them, they're going to really treat me right, we're going to be great. And for us, the acquisition cost is zero. And the lifetime benefit of developing a relationship with these clients is really, really high. And so when we started writing the book, and when we started doing this process, there's nothing out there, literally, there's some contracts. And there are people who do this, I think all the time. But the information isn't there, there's nowhere to get it, and there's no place to talk about it. And so we really sat down and said, let's design a contract for when you're going to hand your assets over and how we're going to do marketing and CO branding. Here's the referral fees that we're gonna pay you while you're still an active agent selling at the brokerage, here's the referral fees, we're gonna pay you in retirement. And we really set on a thought about everything, websites, domain names, of video assets, all of the marketing assets, the signage, and we really build a plan from start to finish. So the retiring agents can feel really good about getting paid referral fees that their clients are being taken care of. We can really expand our our team and our business and commissions. And thenit's almost like every brokerage should have this sort of program like this built in office, I mean, just to increase production, but it's a good mentorship thing.standpoint, you know, you when you think about this, the brokers are big winners here. Because if somebody retires and they call their cell phone, and they say, Hey, I moved to Texas, and I'm no longer a realtor, a real estate agent, you know, they're going to go on the internet, they're going to find other people, they're going to find new realtors. And so this is really a win win win for the retiree for the team taking over as a successor, and then the brokerage because they're keeping that business within the brokerage, keeping those clients and keeping the recognition for their brand.I'm assuming it's a 18 month plan for the introduction of the new entity face brand to inherit that relationship right? Or is it because it's hard to just introduce it like you have to blend that in over time and so they start to see it because I I've seen other people Oh, yeah, I'm just gonna get my book of business. You can't just do one email. That's what I did when I left. I sent out like one or two emails me Hey, this is Luke. Hey, go ahead. Give all give all his Luke he's cool call call him up. Like I'm out peace. But keep Yeah, I mean, that's is that the number one issue that people have when they're doing this is the transfer of power transfer brand? Yeah, says her face.Yeah, exam, we can type into that. So as far as the time limit, I mean, really, a year is ideal, the more you can give it to do the CO marketing and CO branding is, is the best that the longer you can do it, the longer you have to introduce your sphere to the successor is the best. But we've done we've done a shortest two weeks, actually, when there was kind of a lack of planning and suddenly an agent was leaving. And in two weeks, she was going to be gone. And we pretty much sat down, I said you need to give me at least three hours, I'm gonna sit with you with your database, we're going to make calls, we're going to send out a few things I'm going to take whoever you have unlisting you know, alerts right now and convert them right now we're gonna, you know, onto my stuff. And so we you can do it in a very little amount of time, but it's not going to be as productive and as as good of a monetary gain and continue into retirement is if you have a longer period of time for it.Mike, I think this is where we talk about CO branding, like, well, that person is still an agent in your brokerage. We're advertising ourselves as a team and putting both of our faces on mailers and putting both of our faces on advertisements and on that the retiring agents information so that all of their sphere and their farm and all of these things are seeing all of our faces together. And then when they actually move into that retirement or into the referral networks. It really moves it co marketing than that we're marketing maybe that team but not misleading and keeping in track with all the state guidelines of things. But people honestly a lot of times don't even realize that that retiring agent isn't even there because we've done such a good job of CO branding and CO marketing on the front end. And so, you know, when we have 18 months or 24 months to do this process, we're shooting videos together. We're going out on big listing presentations together. We're hosting client parties together we're doing all of the things so that literally that sphere of influence doesn't think that It's just Jim's business. It's Jim and Jessica or Jim and Justin and Justin, who is actually a real team now.I like it. So let's first, let's just say you find somebody like, Alright, I'm gonna retire in a year or two, let's sit down, how does it work? What's the most important thing to do first, and then especially in the first couple months happens, because once you build it, I'm sure it's just repetition, repetition, repetition.Yeah. So in the book, we talked about three structures, kind of for what a contract would look like, for that succession planning. And so are you going to be literally teammates, equals or you're gonna have an actual team leader? And then a team member in that? Or is it just gonna be this really loose contract of, hey, we're gonna start doing some branding together and kicking things back and forth and not sharing expenses. But I think where we really see the power is sitting down and making a plan to say, here's kind of where we'll negotiate what those referrals look like, here's my retirement date. And making sure that people are really confident they're going to keep that retirement date, and serve themselves. And it's okay, if it's a moving target, you know, if it's going to be summer of 2022. You don't need to know whether it's going to be June 1, or whether it's gonna be July 15, you can kind of aim for but the closer you get, you've got to really know when you're going to pull that trigger. Making plans about the marketing is the biggest piece, how do we really sit down at first get people's business together for their data, and their CRM at some of those, we have to reconstruct totally from scratch. Some of them are, hey, I've got an awesome CRM, I've got brevity I've got TM, I can literally just print all this out for you and habit. And then how do we really start to get the message out of we're working together how to you as the successor learn the clients and the business that the retiree is in and how their clients like to be treated? Are they super analytical? Do they have a great sales plan for marketing a home? Do they work with investors? Do they work with commercial real estate, building that plan and then executing on the CO marketing and CO branding? Because that's where the power of it is, it's really, the most important thing is how do we tell a retiring agent sphere of influence, you can trust this new person I'm bringing in, they're really good, you're going to get what you expect, you're going to get continuity. And you should feel really comfortable when you pick up the phone as a client calling them or when you call me and I refer you back to them. You know what to expect them what you're going to get?That's what is the the average age last time I checked your real estate agents like 56 and a half or 57 years old, right? So how many of those people are retiring? Do you guys ever done the math on that? How many like people in the real estate industry? What's the number of agents because it is an older overall population? And then the younger ones are coming in now. But what is that, because there's quite a bit of people out there that are probably in this position right now.You're exactly that. And I was just flipping back because I had all the data from NAR that's here. But basically, in Illinois, there are 7000 realtors who have reported on the NAR national survey that they're not confident they're going to be selling real estate in two years. And 2400 of those are over the age of 55 and 60. So really, there is a great opportunity here in the sense that as you look across the country, that average age of Realtors is going up even though there are 10s of 1000s of new realtors, which is telling us even people entering the market are not younger agents in a lot of cases. And so it's not just the opportunity for people retiring to but kind of like you were talking about during your plan. There are people that relocate there are people that get into the corporate side of real estate or lending or do any of these things. But this is a huge, huge market. In terms of the number of retiring agents even at our brokerage in Peoria. There's a significant percentage of our retirement age eligible. And I think what was really neat to think about in the the National Association of REALTORS report on kind of the state of Realtors was that those experienced Realtors get 70% of their business from referrals. So they're not buying these leads. This is their sphere doing the work, and it's them passing their sphere on to you. So whether you're in a small brokerage, whether you're in a huge brokerage, whether you're relocating to a new market, to try and establish yourself as a real estate agent, there are ample retiring real estate agents or people who are eligible to retire and I think sometimes people don't retire because they don't have a plan. I mean, they want to feel really good about when they do that someone's going to take care of their family and their friends and their clients and sometimes having that conversation with retirement eligible agents in your brokerage is probably going to make them feel really good about starting the process.Just stay on them. Got it. I think a lot of agents don't look at that as a potential source of business either. I don't think anyone does. They're chasing leads they'd rather do like a Facebook ad versus just go target some old crusty real estate agent that's dying by the vine waiting to get the hell out of business in your office right in front of you, that could need your help. Yep,yeah. And I can speak a little bit more on you know exactly what you're saying, you know, it's, it's so much easier to work with a lead and work with a person, when it's a referral, someone saying, you know, hey, this is the person I trust, you've got to sell your house, you've used me in the past, but I work with with my teammate or my partner here. If you've been given that credibility, and so working with that person, they already then trust you, you're not having to fight for the conversion on that. And so it's, it's not just going out there and paying for these leads here, you're sure you may be paying a referral on the back end of it. But you've just been given credibility to work with this person?How, what are the referral agreements? Typically, when you guys see me 5% 30%? Is the agent still involved? Can I guess? I'm sure it could be all the above. Sure, it'd be open for discussion or negotiation, like the agent still gonna be involved for a year? Maybe they're just the listing presentation, and they hand everything off? And that's all they do.Really, it can be all of the different different ones there. Yeah,I think would you know, when we sit down, and we say that there is no standard for what a referral is, and these things, but we typically see, as we've done these contracts, making three years of these referral commissions that will pay out before then we wholly own, if you will, the, the book of business or the sphere of influence that people are passing. And, you know, we've taught to some agents across the country where referrals are 40%, I would say we mostly see 25%. And we really sit down and say, you know, in the first year, should we be giving more than 25% have put this plan in place, so that the retiring agent says I really feel comfortable, and I know I'm getting some benefit here, and then slowly reduce that over time. And we even you know, you talked about the the investment side of business, we put a lot of things in that contracts about if they're going to sell their personal residence or their personal portfolio, giving them a discount or not charging some percent of the commission or a flat fee. But those are all the things that I think really build a trusting relationship between the successor and the retiring agent is sitting down and talking through those and what they feel they deserve and don't deserve. I think as you look at the the history of succession plans, there are some people who literally just put a number on their book of business, and they're like, I'm gonna sell this to you for 50 grand. I don't know that that's the best way to do things. But we even talked in the book about how do you sit down and put a monetary incentive in there, of, hey, if you meet the certain amount of millions of dollars of referrals that you send, we'll give you a $2,500 or 5000 or $10,000 Bonus, because that really gives that a the retiring agent motivation to be talking about real estate at Thanksgiving and Christmas, I'm referring their older relatives who may be selling their home or building smaller ranches or moving in house, whatever it is, they have some skin in the game now to say like, I'm going to keep referring business and we've even seen agents in the referral business, or referral networks make a business card that says referring agent, and then they're still out there in the field, handing them out and then getting them connected with us.How long? How long does the agreement last?But it depends. I mean, we have we have one right now that's a three year another one is just one year, it really depends on what what the person wants to do what works best for them, maybe how long they're going to be working another one that's probably going to be even a multi year, maybe more than three years because they're going to still be working with us for a while. Got it kind of depends on what's best.Because eventually they're gonna they're done. Right? Like a sad, sad person prepaid style, like in what's the right word for perpetual? ility? Whatever. perpetuity forever. Yeah, there it is. It's like jewelry. I can barely say that either. Okay, that makes a lot of sense. And it makes a lot of common sense to me. Just you're just, instead of just I mean, it makes a whole lot of sense. I think it's a recruiting model for a broker owner, perhaps. I think a broker owners is probably where I would start marketing this thing, because it's an office ifthe broker owners should want to have us come in and talk to their group of agents about because there's probably some percent sitting there thinking about retirement and they probably have some really hungry agents who can take on the business who would be a really good fit. I found the place in our kind of introductory chapter where I talked about that survey of realtors. So there are 300,000 Realtors across the United States who are over the age of 60. And 65,000 of them reported that they don't think they'll be selling real estate then the next two years. So the numbers are are staggering out there. Yeah, I've got across the boardmakes a lot of sense. What about age gap differences? How do you overcome that a lot of times the personalities have to mesh, no doubt. But I could imagine like you had like a 24 year old kid coming in, then you got like a 65 year old woman going out? Sometimes, it's not just automatic, you got to find the right person for your business, right?Absolutely. And that's part of it, too. And in the book, we have a kind of a work book section there, where you go through and kind of ask yourself these questions as the retiree. And then if you're a successor, asking, you know, those questions of what the best fit for you would be, and that's kind of also where you maybe decide how the structure is going to be maybe if it's a real, you know, fresh into the industry individual. You know, maybe you do work as a team for a year or two, just to build even more trust and give them the experience in the business. Yeah, like,it makes a lot of sense. Any other thoughts? You guys have? You want to share here? Anything else? Someone may be looking at broker owners agents? Go ahead, the floor is yours.Yeah. Well, again, really, the opportunity is out there. So you know, I, I love and when I listened to your podcast, I always say one or two marketing things away, like I'm going to start putting this into the work that I do. And everyone saw, I think, caught up in the game of buying leads and the high cost of entry. And this is the kind of opportunity again, that retirees should be thinking about other realtors or agents should be thinking about to grow their business, and the broker owners should really be I don't wanna say subsidizing, but really thinking about to keep the owner in their brokerageprofit stream to make money in a brokerage today.And I'm going to tell you a bit of the ones that we've done, the retiring agents have been really happy because literally, they're just staying keeping their their license active through continuing education, and they're getting mail checks. And they enjoy still, you know, being on Facebook referring people that they have conversations to transferring us phone calls, emailing us leads, and it's a, it's a really great opportunity for them to be doing it. And so I would say, you know, if people are interested or people are thinking about it, the biggest struggle is just the plan and putting it together. And that's exactly why we wrote the the short book that's out there is to give people that structure so that you don't have to be scared or intimidated. And you can really enjoy the relationship that you develop with the retiring agent or with your successor. And do the marketing things that we found out are best practices, and then really sit back and reap the rewards and do the hard book and build your new book of business for the future.Like it. Sometimes folks, the largest income streams or opportunities are right beneath your nose, you just got opened your eyes and Quit Chasing other shiny objects.

Have you ever been knocked off balance by the unexpected happening? I know I have! Let me share a story with you. I remember several years when my son, Rylan, came tearing up the back steps and into the house, wide- eyed and breathless. I noticed his shirt and pants were wet in places. "What's going on? Are you okay?" I asked as I reached toward him. He crouched away as he sank onto the floor and the words tumbled out, "I was just playing with my squirt gun and took it over to Jim's where he was watering his plants outside. When I squirted it towards him, he said, 'you might not want to do that or something like this might happen,' and then he sprayed me with the hose! It was really hard, and I didn't call him a f--r but I flipped him off and now I'm scared he hates me and will get me! Dad saw it all and said we have to go talk with him before we can leave, and I'm scared!" "Where is your Dad? He was there with you and saw it all happen?" I asked, trying to make sense of it all. "I don't know! I don't know! It's not my fault!" he cried out as he curled up in a ball and began deep breathing. I remember feeling such deep dismay, I wanted to comfort and soothe my son, not further heighten his fear with more questions. I made some empathy guesses, ”I'm hearing how unexpected this whole thing was for you and how scared you are feeling, wanting to be sure you are safe and know you matter?" I began to rub his back gently and felt his body begin to relax under my touch. Suddenly his back grew taunt, and he scrambled into the other room as his Dad came into the house downstairs. I asked him how he was doing and he said he was worried about Rylan and asked if he told me what had happened. I shared what I understood from Rylan and then Richard, my husband, filled me in on what he'd seen with a weary sigh. He said, "He likes to play and squirt others with water and doesn't seem to be able to think and understand what might happen when he goes over to the neighbors and squirts him without the neighbor expecting it - that he'll get wet in return. You know he doesn't like to get wet unless he's planning to get wet already, so when he got squirted, he freaked out, flipped the neighbor off and ran home. Great way to start off with the new neighbors! I told him we needed to go talk with him and repair things before we leave, and he couldn't hear that either." I gave him a hug and acknowledged, ”Yeah, it's tough getting to know new neighbors," and I made a guess for him too, ”you really worry about Rylan, knowing he gets so scared, needing to know he'll be safe, and has support in the world." A little later the doorbell rang. Rylan looked out the window to see who was there, I saw his eyes get huge, he curled up in a ball on the couch and said, "It's Jim! Tell him I'm asleep!" I opened the door, to welcome in our neighbor. He took off his hat and said, "I think I may have upset and frightened Rylan, and I wanted to see how he's doing." "Oh, Rylan told me what happened," I said as we walked up the stairs and Richard joined us. "He was going to come over with his Dad to see how you were doing before they left together for some vacation time." "Well, that ought to be a fun time for him. Is he around here somewhere?" he asked he looked around. Rylan slowly got up from the couch and nervously rocked back and forth on his feet, fidgeting his hands together. Seeing him, Jim said, "Oh, there he is. Hi Rylan, how ya doin' man?" stretching out his hand to Rylan with a friendly smile. "I'm good, how are you?" Rylan returned his greeting and handshake with a nervous smile. "Well, I'm a little confused and worried," Jim used a slow and calm voice when he replied, "because when you were at my place playing with your squirt gun, I played back with a little water from my hose, and then you waved some kind of motions with your hands at me and ran off. I went in and talked with my wife about it, and we thought maybe getting we

It's both funny AND informative. If you live outside the US you can call us on Skype at The_Film_Thugs. You can leave a message, or someone might actually answer. E-mail us at thefilmthugs@gmail.com and we will read/play whatever you send us, or you can e-mail thugquestions@gmail.com to be part of  an upcoming "Ask the Film Thugs" show, where we answer questions on any subject without having heard them first. Also, we are on twitter @thefilmthugs and on Facebook and Vine. You can also click on one of our sponsor links below and THEY will pay us. That's right. You won't have to pay a PENNY extra, and Amazon/Onnit/Teefury will give us a little taste. Also, be sure to check back often for our new endeavor The Life Masters, where we answer questions to other advice columnists. Thanks for listening, and until next week... Jim out.
