Podcasts about Lior

Life Is a Game Lior Pozin built AutoDS into a company with more than 200 employees and over $20M ARR before its acquisition by Fiverr. Listening to him, it's hard to shake the feeling that AutoDS was never the destination. It was simply another level in the game. The kid who questioned everything Long before AutoDS, before SaaS, before startups, Lior was already looking at the world differently. His father locked his computer as punishment. He learned how to unlock it. He wanted to buy a phone online. He discovered the exact same phone was being resold for more money. So he sold it himself-without ever owning inventory. At 14, he wasn't asking what he was supposed to do. He was asking: "What's the game?" And then: "Let's just try." Gamifying life One sentence quietly explains almost every decision he makes. "I look at life as a game." It's not a motivational slogan. It's a framework. Games have rules. Rules can be learned. Sometimes they can even be bent. When eBay suspended his account, he didn't see failure. He saw another move - open another account. When people warned him something wouldn't work, he didn't hear a verdict. He heard another hypothesis to test. That mindset dramatically changes the emotional cost of entrepreneurship. Failure becomes feedback. Risk becomes calculated. And trying becomes more important than being right. The question that removes fear Throughout the conversation, Lior comes back to one exercise over and over. "What's the worst case?" Not as positive thinking. As practical thinking. What's the actual downside? Will I lose an account? Waste a year? Need another job? Once he answers that honestly, fear loses much of its power. Because most imagined catastrophes turn out to be survivable. That question became one of his most useful entrepreneurial tools. The investment that compounds the most One of the most interesting moments in the conversation has nothing to do with AutoDS. It's the way Lior treats personal development. Every week he protects time with almost religious discipline. Executive coach. Personal coach. Therapist. Reading. Meditation. Breathwork. Sports. Those hours are non-negotiable. His reasoning is remarkably simple: “If I elevate myself, the business will elevate too”. Many founders invest first in their company. Lior invests first in the founder running it. Building the founder like a product Lior recently created something unusual: A personal brand book. Not because he wants nicer colors or better social media posts. Because he believes founders deserve the same strategic clarity as companies. He wants every piece of content, every interview and eventually even his AI assistant to reflect the same person. Not an optimized version. The real one. What stays after this episode: Lior doesn't describe entrepreneurship as courage. He describes it as a way of looking at the world. A constant habit of questioning assumptions. Of asking "What's the worst that can happen?" Of refusing to believe that someone else gets to build the future simply because they started first. Maybe that's why "life is a game" resonates so strongly throughout the conversation. Not because games are easy. But because games are meant to be played. And the people who keep playing long enough eventually discover that most of the limits they believed in were rules they never had to accept in the first place.

Lior Shaltiel, CEO of NurExone, is addressing the unmet needs of those with spinal cord injuries, as current therapies only treat symptoms and do not regenerate damaged nerves from accidents or disease. The NurExone technology aims to stimulate nerve growth by targeting a protein that inhibits cell proliferation. Using exosomes, which are secreted by cells, to deliver the drug in a localized manner is possible because of the ability of the exosomes to home in on damaged tissues and cross the blood-brain barrier. Lior explains, "At the moment, the medicine can only treat it by treating the symptoms. There are a few attempts to try to regenerate the nerves that are broken and to have the reconnection of the spinal cord injury or any damage in the central nervous system. And this is a huge challenge for medicine, so far not solved. And when we solve it, we prepare to answer and give hope to so many patients, not only in spinal cord injury, but also in other injuries, such as traumatic brain injury, optic nerve, and ophthalmology. So many nerves that we have so far not been able to restore the function after the damage." "So traumatic, meaning we are talking about injury, the acute phase of a disease or illness. In most cases, let's say, spinal cord injury is due to injury, car accidents, or sports accidents. But, for example, ophthalmology, glaucoma, which is a chronic disease, can also cause damage to the optic nerve that cannot be restored. So it can be due to another illness, as a side effect of the illness, or due to injury."   "So we discussed the RNA. This is one part of the technology here. Second, the technology of using our natural transmitter in our body, which is how cells communicate with each other, is called exosomes. Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted from cells with tiny envelopes that a healthy tissue sends to a damaged tissue, a cell that is affected, or a cell that doesn't feel good. And when we understand this mechanism, we can use those exosomes as a drug delivery system." #NurExone #Exosomes #SpinalCordInjury #NeuroRegeneration #PTEN #siRNA #DrugDelivery #Neurology #RegenerativeMedicine #Nanomedicine  nurexone.com Download the transcript here

In this episode of What is a Good Life, host Mark McCartney sits down with Lior Steinberg, a Rotterdam-based urban planner and co-founder of Humankind, a multidisciplinary team working toward urban happiness for all. Lior is also the author of the children's book The Car That Wanted to Be a Bike. Together they unpack why so many cities remain trapped in car-centric design decades after urbanist Jane Jacobs first warned against it.They talk about the "sidewalk ballet," how children's toys teach us to want cars, the surprising parallel between car culture and cigarette smoking, Barcelona's superblocks, and why trees are the best climate technology we already have. This is a thought-provoking conversation on how often change feels impossible until it is here.For more of Lior Steinberg's work:Humankind: https://www.humankind.city/Personal Website: https://steinberg.nu/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liorsteinberg/For more from Mark McCartney:Newsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/Website: https://www.mmcleadership.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@whatisagoodlife3875⁩

MLT 180: I Finished a Book, Episode 1 After six seasons of letting the productivity ball get bigger than the creativity ball, Erin's shaking up the format — starting with an unscripted, wheel-spun review of Just Watch Me by Lior Torenberg, built with a little help from Claude. What's covered: Why Erin's stepping back from "better, faster, stronger" podcasting and testing a looser, funnier format The exact AI prompt Erin used to build a 28-question "book club wheel" for spontaneous, unscripted reviews — full transparency on the goal/context prompt structure A deep, spoiler-flagged review of Just Watch Me, the story of Dell Danvers, a newly-unemployed 24-hour live streamer spiralling through a week of viral chaos, spicy-pepper stunts, and unprocessed grief Why the book's central "twist" (her sister Daisy's fate) reframes the entire story as a book about avoidance and grief, not just internet culture The uncomfortable, rarely-said-out-loud truth about wanting to be watched — and what it's like to feel both euphoria and dread from an audience A comp-title pairing with Margot's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe, and how the two books differ in how much agency their heroines hold onto at rock bottom Key framework: Erin's 70/30 rule for when AI is worth using — the tool brings structure, you bring discernment. (Full breakdown in Episode 174.)

AI readiness doesn't start with AI; it starts with the infrastructure most organizations overlook. In this episode of #shifthappens, Lior Bela, Business Director for Microsoft Intune, breaks down what it actually takes to prepare managed service providers (MSPs) and their customers for AI adoption, and why skipping the foundation creates more risk than it solves. Lior explains why cloud-native environments are the prerequisite, not the afterthought, for AI success — comparing the journey to paving a road before driving a car on it. He discusses how legacy tooling and on-prem comfort create a growth ceiling, why AI agents should be governed with the same guardrails as employees, and what happens when organizations fail to offer sanctioned AI tools: shadow AI fills the gap. The conversation also covers the three-tier path to AI maturity, from baseline alignment to assisted automation to full autonomy, and why building trust in AI follows the same arc as trusting a driverless car. Lior closes with a practical 30-day action plan any MSP can follow: learn, experiment in a sandbox, and deploy on low-risk, high-impact processes.

His voice was warm and concerned.He: היא חייכה חלש. "סתם עייפה, הכל בסדר."En: She smiled weakly. "Just tired, everything is fine."He: אך בבוקר שאחר כך, בתוך חדר שקט ולבן, מוקפת ספרים ומחברות, אביבה ניסתה לשנן נושאים, הרגישה את ליבה דופק בחוזקה.En: But the next morning, inside a quiet, white room surrounded by books and notebooks, Aviva tried to memorize subjects, feeling her heart pounding hard.He: הנשימה שלה התקצרה ופתאום הרגישה את הכובד על חזה - התקף חרדה.En: Her breathing shortened, and suddenly she felt the weight on her chest - an anxiety attack.He: "איתן!" היא קראה, העט נופל מידה.En: "Eitan!" she called, the pen dropping from her hand.He: "אני צריכה עזרה."En: "I need help."He: הוא מיהר לעזרתה, החזיק את ידה ברוגע.En: He rushed to her assistance, holding her hand calmly.He: "אני כאן.En: "I'm here.He: את לא לבד."En: You're not alone."He: באותה שנייה, אביבה ידעה שהיא לא יכולה להמשיך להסתיר את מצבה.En: At that moment, Aviva knew she couldn't continue hiding her state.He: בין דמעות לחיוכים היא סיפרה לאיתן על כל המאבק.En: Between tears and smiles, she told Eitan about her entire struggle.He: אחרי שהכל יצא לאור, היא הרגישה כאילו נמשכה משקולת כבדה מעליה.En: Once everything came to light, she felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her.He: בדיבור הקצר שאחרי הכל, ליאור ואיתן תמכו בה.En: In the brief conversation afterward, Lior and Eitan supported her.He: "את יכולה להצליח," אמר לה איתן בעדינות, "אבל זכרי, הצלחה לא תמיד נמדדת בציונים מושלמים."En: "You can succeed," Eitan told her gently, "but remember, success isn't always measured by perfect scores."He: יום המבחן הגיע, ואביבה צעדה לאט ובביטחון לתוך חדר הבחינות.En: The day of the exam arrived, and Aviva walked slowly and confidently into the exam room.He: היא לקחה נשימה עמוקה והתחילה.En: She took a deep breath and began.He: זו לא הייתה חוויה קלה, אך משהו בתוכה השתחרר.En: It wasn't an easy experience, but something inside her was released.He: היא ידעה שעכשיו היא חזקה יותר.En: She knew she was now stronger.He: בסיום המבחן, היא יצאה מהחדר וחייכה לאיתן שחיכה לה בחוץ.En: After finishing the exam, she exited the room and smiled at Eitan who was waiting for her outside.He: "תודה," היא לחשה, מרגישה קלילה יותר.En: "Thank you," she whispered, feeling lighter.He: התגליות הפנימיות הללו הצמיחו בה את ההבנה החזקה ביותר.En: These internal discoveries gave her the strongest understanding.He: חוזקה לא תמדד בהשגת שלמות, אלא בקבלת העזרה ובלקיחת רגע לנשום.En: Strength wouldn't be measured in achieving perfection, but in accepting help and taking a moment to breathe.He: היא השיגה יותר משיכלה לדמיין - הרוגע והביטחון סוף סוף נמצאו בליבה.En: She achieved more than she could have imagined - tranquility and confidence were finally found in her heart.

Conciergerie Airbnb vue par des enfants de 6 ans : on a posé le micro devant Lior et Samuel pour leur demander ce qu'ils pensent de nos métiers en location courte durée. Leurs réponses sont à la fois hilarantes et étonnamment lucides.Pour Lior (fils d'Anaïs), la conciergerie c'est simple : « louer des maisons ». Et c'est facile. Il sait définir un Airbnb (« un petit appartement pour passer des moments ensemble ») et il veut même devenir concierge plus tard. Samuel (fils de Sammy) résume le métier de son père en un mot : « tout ». Il connaît les travaux du logement thématique pirate, et surtout il sait que « maman veut pas qu'il fasse d'autres logements ».C'est un épisode bonus, court et sans filtre, avec les aléas du direct : interruptions, fous rires et pétage dans le micro inclus.

In this episode, we speak with Lior Lamesh - the founder and CEO of GK8, a cybersecurity infrastructure company. At 26, while serving in Israel's Shin Bet, he helped break into what was considered the most secure crypto custody system in the world, and he did it in just 4 days(!). That moment started GK8. In 3 years, the company was protecting billions of dollars. It was also acquired - twice. This episode is about what happens when someone decides: “I'm going all in. Whatever it takes.” And then? actually does it. ״We didn't understand why people think it's a secure product״ He didn't plan to build a company. A friend showed him and his now co-founder a crypto wallet that was supposed to be the most secure in the world. It didn't make sense to them. So they bought it, tried to break it - and did. That was it. Where that “impossible is nothing” mindset comes from You can hear it immediately. He was raised this way. • A mother who didn't accept 97 • A father who pushed competition • Years of professional football • Military units where mistakes get real At some point early on, effort became the only way he knew. Deciding to sell They were early. They were first-time founders. Things were working. Then COVID hit - and offers actually started rolling in. Lior and Shachar didn't sell because they wanted out. They sold because they thought it would help them move faster. And as life happens..things didn't go as planned… ..Then things broke Seven months later, the company that bought them filed for bankruptcy. There was no warning or heads up. Lior wakes up to messages and opens the news. That's how he finds out. Now think about the position: • The company isn't yours anymore • You don't control the situation • But everyone still looks at you Employees. Customers.Partners. So what do you do? You do what you can control, meaning you just… keep going. The part most people don't talk about He says this almost casually: You put EVERYTHING aside. Relationships, sleep..life. This probably says it all: “My girlfriend told me - you sleep more with your co-founder than with me.” So if you tell yourself success comes with no costs - think again. Nothing is easy. There's always a cost. So what actually drives him? It's not money. He's very clear about that. It's the feeling of hitting the goal you set, and the belief that: “If I want something enough, and are willing to pay the price - it will happen.” That belief shows up everywhere in his story. Where he is today No. He's not slowing down. But something did shift. He is starting to be aware of the cost. Not sleeping enough, stress catching up So he's trying - slowly - to build boundaries Even small things like: Staying one extra day when he travels, to actually see the place That says a lot. Why this conversation stays with you Because it's uncomfortable. There's no clean lesson here. No “do this and you'll succeed.” There's a real tension: The thing that makes you exceptional is also the thing that takes from you There's no clear line for when it becomes too much. It's in your hands.

Yonatan said enthusiastically.He: "תראי, זה חלק מהעבר שלנו."En: "Look, it's a piece of our past."He: הרגע הזה הצית בליאור ניצוץ של עניין.En: That moment sparked a flicker of interest in Lior.He: הכלי הזה, בלב המדבר השקט, סיפר סיפור משלו.En: This artifact, in the heart of the quiet desert, told its own story.He: היא התחילה להבין את המשמעות מאחורי המסע הזה.En: She began to understand the meaning behind this journey.He: כעבור שעה, כשהסופה נרגעה, הם חזרו לדרכם והגיעו סוף סוף לשדה בוקר.En: An hour later, once the storm subsided, they continued on their way and finally reached Sde Boker.He: הם נכנסו לחצר ביתו של בן-גוריון בזמן לחגיגות.En: They entered the yard of Ben-Gurion's house just in time for the celebrations.He: האנשים שם סיפרו על חלומותיו ותוכניותיו של בן-גוריון, ששמעו אותו ממש כאן איפה שהם עומדים עכשיו.En: The people there spoke of his dreams and plans, which they had heard right here where they were now standing.He: ליאור הקשיבה לכל מילה, מרגישה כעת חלק מסיפור ארוך ומשמעותי.En: Lior listened to every word, now feeling part of a long and meaningful story.He: יונתן הביט בה בגאווה.En: Yonatan looked at her with pride.He: היא הבינה, היא התחברה.En: She understood, she connected.He: אולי תענוגות העיר ישובו למשוך אותה בעתיד, אבל כעת היא ידעה שהמסע הזה למדבר הוא שסייע לה לגלות את שורשיה ואת סיפורי הארץ הזאת שתמיד יהיו חלק ממנה.En: Perhaps the pleasures of the city would attract her again in the future, but now she knew that this journey to the desert is what helped her discover her roots and the stories of this land that will always be a part of her.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Dr. Lior Tamir to unpack a remarkable journey from a struggling new grad during the 2009 recession to building a thriving $5M de novo practice in one of the most competitive markets in the country. Lior shares how stepping away from clinical dentistry to build a marketing tech company shaped his approach to growth, patient experience, and data-driven decision-making.  He dives into the concept of "experiential dentistry," revealing how small but intentional touches—from office design to giving away electric toothbrushes—fueled explosive patient acquisition and loyalty. The conversation also explores his innovative hybrid PPO model with a concierge-style fee, the power of in-house specialty services, and how he scaled to over $1M per chair.  Finally, Lior introduces The Dental App, a cloud-based, all-in-one platform designed to modernize practice management, integrate real-time analytics, and leverage AI for automation and patient follow-up—offering a glimpse into the future of dental operations.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Yusuf, we explore what personal growth really looks like when life feels unfamiliar and unstable—especially during big transitions like moving to a new country. This conversation is for anyone feeling ungrounded while still trying to build a future. Lior shares why growth isn't just “positive thinking”—it's learning to sit with discomfort, name the stories in your mind, and take small actions that compound into real change. About the Guest : Lior Klisman moved to the U.S. with $2,000 and a deep desire to build a better life. He shares lessons from his journey—centered on belonging, identity, mindfulness, and staying committed through uncertainty. Episode Chapters: 00:05:04 — Personal growth isn't becoming “new,” it's staying steady in uncertainty 00:06:28 — Arriving in the U.S. with $2,000: dreams, pressure, and fear 00:07:02 — The hidden struggle: belonging before success 00:09:10 — Real growth lives inside discomfort and vulnerability 00:12:00 — “Live your future self now”: identity as a daily practice 00:13:51 — Learn, unlearn, relearn: changing patterns with breath, journaling, meditation 00:19:19 — Practice makes progress: why growth is a marathon (plus “KMF”) Key Takeaways: Prioritize belonging early in any transition—community stabilizes the mind. Treat growth like training: small shifts compound when repeated. Name your inner stories (“This is a story, not the whole of me”) before they run your choices. Use simple regulation tools: pause + breath before reacting to stimulus. Move from motivation to commitment: results follow consistency. Compare yourself to your past self, not other people.

When your property management business isn't growing, hiring a salesperson might seem like the obvious solution, but what if that's actually where most owners go wrong… In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull break down why most BDM hires fail, the critical mistakes owners make with commission-only roles, and the exact systems required to make a salesperson successful. They dive into DoorGrow's Three Fits framework, the three non-negotiable ingredients for BDM success, and tease a game-changing new growth model designed to help property managers scale without burnout, bad leads, or broken systems.   You'll Learn (00:00) Introduction: The Three Fits for Hiring (01:16) The Challenges of Hiring a Business Development Manager (BDM)  (02:42) The Three Key Ingredients for BDM Success  (04:40)  Mistakes in BDM Compensation: The Commission-Only Pitfall  (05:40) The Three Roles of a BDM and the Problem with Buying Leads  (09:54) The "Door Machine" Teaser: The Easy Button for Growth  (14:39) Advanced Community, AI, and Final Thoughts  Quotables "A BDM has zero chance of success if you hire the wrong person."  "If they're not all three, they will fail.

Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason Hull (00:01) All right, five, four, three, two, one. All right, we are Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching company for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we have spoken to thousands of property management business owners, coached, consulted, and cleaned up hundreds of businesses, helping them at doors.   improve pricing, increase profits, simplify operations, and we run the leading property management mastermind with more video testimonials and reviews than any other coach or consultant in the industry. We're the best. At DoorGrow, we believe that good property managers can change the world and that property management is the ultimate high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management, business owners, and their businesses. We want to transform the industry.   eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. All right. So today, we're going to be chatting a little bit about the challenges of getting a business development manager, a BDM, or a salesperson for your property management business that we've seen. Yes. So a lot of times people think, hey, I need to grow my business.   and they either don't wanna do it, they don't have the time to do it, or they just want help doing it. And then their go-to is, well, I'll just hire someone to do it, right? What could go wrong? Yeah, and that's where they make their first mistakes. Hiring is tough. Hiring is tough. And so, a BDM has zero chance of success if you hire the wrong person. And so, we...   started solving this challenge for our clients by building out a hiring system. We call it door for a hiring. And we focus on what we call the three fits. They gotta be the right culture fit, which means they actually share your values. You can trust them. Because if they don't, aren't a culture fit, they'll steal from you or they'll do something off. And if culture's off, generally everything else goes south. It doesn't work. They have to be the right personality fit, which means they have to have   the right personality to be willing and love and be able to do sales. And they have the right skill fit, which means they have to be intellectually capable of developing the skill or they have to have the sales skill already. If they're not all three, they will fail. Or you'll fire them, which is basically because they're failing. Or they will leave you because they're not making enough money. Okay, then once you hire them,   assuming you get the right person, there's three key ingredients we found that are critical for BDM success and it's really difficult to get all three of these dialed in. It's even difficult for our clients who we coach to do these three things and so generally we see a lot of other BDM coaching companies they probably do a good job of maybe hiring the right people. My guess is they know how to read disk assessments and they use other tools and they can find good salespeople.   but I hear a lot of them fail. Like my brother hired two salespeople from one of these BDM placement coaching companies and he fired both of them. And it probably was my brother's fault. I don't know. Sorry, Brian. But it might've been he just didn't have these three key ingredients in place. They might've been able to have a chance. So these three key ingredients are one, training. And.   Basically they have the right strategies and training in order to succeed. Second, they have to have the right accountability. A lot of business owners just are like, here, here's what you do, or they rely on the BDM coaching company to just make it work. And sometimes they just get bad strategy. I don't think anybody has as good a strategy or clever or unique as I do as Dorgo does. We were very innovative on that.   I think then ⁓ the third piece is we've got training, we've got then accountability, there has to be transparency, visibility, metrics, things like this. they're being, you you can see where the gaps are, where the problems are. And third, compensation. And so the compensation has to be right. If the compensation structure is off, compensation is incentive. And if the incentive structure is off, either they won't be making enough money,   and they'll quit or you'll be paying them maybe too much money in the wrong way and then they get lazy and they're not incentivized to continue because they're making enough money or they're not getting motivated enough to get the results that you need so you'll fire them. There's so many ways compensation gets messed up. A lot of you think, I could just pay them commission only. Then I don't have to pay them anything unless they make money and then they're not motivated or they're not doing the leading actions.   and then they fail. So we've just seen a lot of mistakes made there. And I think one of the biggest ones is the idea, well, I'll just pay them commission only. And that's a really nice thought, but in practical application, it's just not a way to set things up to be successful. And the reason is, I know everybody's going, that's what I want. Yes, we can want these things, but...   In reality, the problem is that unless someone can start working in your business today and have the ability to close deals this week, then a commission only structure is just not going to work. And what I mean by that is not just, ⁓ no, they can, they can close a deal. They could close a deal right away. Great.   do you have a few thousand leads for them to call today? So if they get hired today and they get trained today and then tomorrow they start making calls, do you have a whole list of people that they can call and then close deals as early as like four days later, three days later? Because if the answer to that is no,   No, Sarah, I don't have an entire list. If I had an entire list, I would just call them myself and I would just work that list myself. Great. So then what you're doing is you're bringing someone in who can only make money if they close a deal and somehow expecting them, you're expecting them to close a deal, but not providing them with leads to work. So it's essentially saying, all right, I...   We'll pay you if you close deals. You can get started today. I don't have a list, a long list. Don't give them 10 people. 10 leads is not good enough. I don't have many leads for you to work. I have some, but I don't have a whole list of leads ready for you to just start working that are already in the system. ⁓ You need to go find the leads and create the connections and the relationships.   to get the leads and then you need to build a relationship with them and take them through the entire sales process and then you can close them and that might take two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, two months, three months. So what usually ends up happening on a commission only structure is the BDM, the first month makes zero dollars. So imagine if you did work for an entire month and you made nothing.   Would you want to be in that situation? Probably not. But then we're expecting other people to want to be in that situation. And for some people, that is doable. But for the majority of people, that's just not possible. They have bills to pay, they have a mortgage or rent, they have to feed themselves, they might have a family. It's not possible to just say, well, hopefully you figure it out really quickly, even though I'm not going to give you what you need in order to be   successful quickly, I hope you figure it out quickly because that's how you'll get paid. And then people wonder, why is no one applying for my job? So the problem, a medium is a little bit unique. Having a property management salesperson, they need to be not just a closer in which you like they just closed deals. They also need to be a setter. They need to be doing outreach and outbound, but they also need to be a networker.   They need to be going to networking events, connecting, walking into offices, meeting with people. And so the challenge is if they're a setter, a networker, and ⁓ a closer, they really need to be compensated the way you would compensate all three. we talk about this. There's a YouTube video up where I talk about how to compensate a BDM. Check it out. ⁓ But basically there needs to be a base plus commission and there's a strategy to how to do this correctly. Feel free to check out our video about that.   But a lot of people get this wrong. All right, so assuming that you get all of these things dialed in, it's still a struggle for some of our clients to manage their own BDM to do this. I'm going to share, we're going to give you a little sneak peek about something that we have coming up. But first, that's going to be a game changer for this industry. If you struggle to grow, if you tried lots of different lead sources, you tried lots of different programs, we're going to tell you about how DoorGrow will just grow your business for you.   as a teaser. But before we do that, I'm going to read a word from our sponsor. So this is our sponsor for today's episode is Blanket. Wait, Blanket. Lior from Blanket. It's his birthday today, which I did not plan. But happy birthday, Lior. Yeah, happy birthday. So by the time this goes live, it'll be past. But for those that watching the live stream, maybe if it goes out today, then cool. All right, here we go. Blanket is a property retention growth platform.   that helps property managers stop losing doors, add more revenue, and increase the number of properties they manage, while your clients with a branded investor dashboard and an off-market marketplace, while your team gets all the tools they need to identify owners at risk of churning and powerful systems to help you add more doors. I think Blanket's an awesome platform. You want to keep your properties, even if your clients are kind of like selling, you can keep the property and get other owners into it, and there's a network of owners that will.   choose in to being your property management client and take over this property. So I think it's a no-brainer. Everybody should have a blanket. Check it out. Okay. So let's talk about something that's uncomfortable when it comes to growth and sales and hiring a BDM. So a lot of people think that in order to solve their growth problem, they need to hire a salesperson. Okay. Right? Yeah. So they go, okay, well.   growth isn't happening, let me just like hire a salesperson because either I don't want to do it or I'm not the right person to do it or I am busy with other things and I just don't have enough time to dedicate to it or maybe I am doing it but it'd be nice to have some extra deals so let me hire somebody else to do it alongside with me and then I can double my growth if there's two of us. Yeah or even worse a lot of people think well I don't need a salesperson I can do it myself I just need more leads.   And if you're listening and you're saying that, there's reason why you probably haven't had great growth or significant growth if you haven't and you're saying that. Not all leads are equal. We talk about this a lot. Reach out to us. Just give us a shout out on any social media. Just say leads to us and we'll send you our leads training for free or go to doorgo.com slash leads and watch this training and I break down how to get unlimited leads for free and why not all leads are equal. You don't.   have to be paying anyone for leads. In fact, I recommend you don't because it slows down your BDM, it makes your BDM focus on the wrong strategies, and then your BDM is dealing with a lot of cold, unqualified leads from the internet that are the cheapest owners, that are the most difficult to manage, that have the highest operational cost, and are the most price sensitive. And this is why a lot of businesses and property management start to struggle and be unable to scale because of the types of clients and properties and owners that they're taking on.   And the sales cycle time takes way longer than what our strategies are, way longer than warm leads. And so you don't want to give your BDM a pile of cold crappy leads from the internet and slow them down. And so they're not able to add easily 10, 20, 30 units a month. They need better strategy. Okay. Okay. So the uncomfortable thing is that if you do not have the right system,   to plug a BDM or a salesperson into, you can hire as many of them as you want and they will still not work. So if you're trying to get a BDM in your business and grow the company without the right system in place for that BDM, it essentially is like saying, hey, I want to get in shape and I hired a personal trainer and then he's gonna do all the work.   Yeah. Well, you have the right person, but it doesn't alleviate you from being involved and putting in work. So even if you have a BDM, you still have to be involved in it. It's not many times, it's not like, this BDM is just gonna come in and figure everything out and build everything and figure out what to do and how to do things and close the deals and everything's gonna be great. Yeah, normally it's not turnkey at all.   I mean, I'll give you an example. I knew of a property management business here in Texas. They have since sold their business, but they had multiple BDMs. They had a whole bunch. They were shelling out a massive amount of money for cold leads and digital marketing. And they were paying for some sort of sales program that was very expensive with one of these big name gurus who I won't mention in sales.   strategies and tactics are outdated and old school, pushy sales, manipulation type stuff. And they were just showing up a massive amount of money for client acquisition. It was ridiculous. And it wasn't really that effective. And they ended up selling the business because really the business was, it was just a numbers play. They were trying to stack in a bunch of doors just to get out and they exited. But, and ⁓ you know, on these,   This was the CEO, this was somebody that was coaching in the industry, but the margins were really difficult and that was because they were taking on bad doors and bad clients. All right, so what do we want to share today? So what if? We're gonna play the what if game because this is what we did. And actually, this is something we had kicked around for a while and then I was talking actually with John and I said,   this is this thought that I had, and what if it worked like this? But then what if we actually do it like this instead? And ⁓ then Jason and I had been kind of chatting about this, and we've developed this idea. I think it's something that we feel like we have to do for this industry. Because...   Man, it just gets under my skin so bad when I see property managers doing everything wrong. And when I see them failing. And especially when they're trying so hard and it's still not getting them the results that they want. So what if there was a way to press the easy button and just have growth happen and you don't actually need to be involved in it at all?   What if you were able to just have the company grow and you don't need to take any of the action. You don't need to be involved in the growth. You don't need to do any of the strategies. You don't need to buy leads. You really would just be closing a deal, having a conversation with somebody who has already warmed up and ready to go.   which is I think what most people want when they say they want leads. Right. They say they want to leads. don't actually, you don't want leads. Let's be real. Easy lay down You don't want a lead because you have to work that lead. What you really want is you want someone to come to you and say, hello, I'm ready to sign up with you. And what do I need to do to make that happen? I get it because I was there. That's, I did not want to do sales in my business. And that was the only way after.   I had grown it to a certain point. That was the only way I would sign on a new client is if they came to me and said, hi, I want you to be my property manager, but what do I need to do? Yeah, here, sign this. Here's the agreement. Lay it out. Easy deals. it. So I know that that's what you guys want is you just, you love the actual closing and the pitching of the deal. You don't like all of the other stuff. You don't like the outbound calls and the follow-ups and the scheduling and the rescheduling.   and the nurturing and the warming up of the relationship. And a lot of times, networking, sometimes they like it and sometimes they don't. They're like, well, I don't know, I could kind of do that. But it's not really like you're forte. Really, you're like, I would love to just get on calls with people all day who are just ready to go. Yeah. They're just ready to go. So what if that was an option? That would be a game changer for this entire industry.   and we would make a ton of money here at DoorGrowl and you, if you're one of our clients, would make a ton of money and it would be a win-win-win for all three parties. the salesperson would also make a ton of money. So with this idea, I feel like we can richen the entire industry, which is exciting to me. We will be creating multi-million dollar business owners with this new offer that we're going to be launching. We're calling it   The Door Machine, that's our working title right now. So this is gonna be a game changer for the industry. If you are interested in maybe what this might be, because we don't wanna announce it yet. Yeah, I'm not fully... Then reach out to us. out to us and we're gonna be starting with our clients that have gone through our rapid revamp, where we rehab their business.   These are clients that we've cleaned up their branding, their website, their sales pitch, their pricing, their purpose, which is the actual product. ⁓ We're rehabbing, it's like bar rescue for property managers. We're cleaning up the business. We are gonna start with them, because we need all the friction removed from the business. And a lot of your businesses have a lot of friction and a lot of problems and a lot of leaks in the hose, and you're thinking, how do I turn on the hose more?   the host has these massive leaks. So we're going to be working with businesses that we've cleaned up the leaks first. They're going to get dibs to this. And so if you're interested in this, come to DoorGrow. We'll show you the leaks. We'll help you clean that up. And then you will be one of the people that can get access to the door machine where basically we give you the doors. We throw the doors at you. You have lay downs and your business can just scale and grow and   We are almost like a partner with you. We're involved in the growth of your business and we'll help you grow it. These are doors you wouldn't have gotten otherwise and it's gonna be a no-brainer. So yeah, so reach out and let us know if you're interested. Anything else we wanna say about it? I don't think we're gonna give too much more We're keep it a little close to the best. Right now. Because it's not public yet. we haven't, it's...   It hasn't been officially launched. We have chatted with a few of our clients about this so far and all of them said yeah, like I'm in, it. I'll give one other clue about something other than this that we're also doing. We're also going to be launching a new community, an advanced community, leveraging AI, leveraging AI tools, giving access to AI stuff that is going to be, I think, also a game changer for the industry.   We're gonna be consolidating our Dorgo Club Facebook group, our Telegram community for clients into one platform that's gonna be a game changer for the industry. And we're figuring out some low dollar price points to get people in to this group so that you can easily get your first 10, 20 units, which would make affording our mastermind program easy, offset, a no-brainer, already paid for basically. And so these are some of the things on the horizon.   and I've got some new team members helping me take sales off my plate. And so I'm gonna go deep into the rabbit hole of building all this stuff out. And we've got a really strong vision. think this is gonna be, this coming year for DoorGrow is gonna be one of the biggest, this will be the biggest. I think this year we may make as much money and have as much impact as we've had in the entire life of our business over the last decade and a half. So I think it's gonna be that significant. So I'm excited to see what we're able to create.   and I think it's going to be a game changer. We've got some strategies where we're going contrarian in the opposite direction of AI. And we're leveraging AI, but I think the future is human. And I think depth is going to be the key to scalability. And we're going to be applying that to DoorGrow, and we're going to be helping our clients apply that. And it's going to be a game changer because the more AI slop and goop and grossness and junk that's out there because anything can be created now,   the more humans are gonna matter if you do it in the right way. You gotta leverage, you gotta use AI. You gotta get on that AI stuff, but you gotta do it in the right way. And where you can use humans, where you should use humans, you gotta go all in on that. that's part of our strategy for the next year and beyond. So stay tuned, it's gonna be amazing. So anything else we should say before wrapping this up? ⁓ Nope, do you wanna talk about the newsletter?   What about it? We have a newsletter. I'll mention it in our little outro here. Great. I don't know if that was in there. So I'll mention that.

Just Watch Me has such a creative concept behind it. Each chapter starts with how many fictitious streaming followers the main character has on her feed. She livestreams her life including eating hot peppers and more funny antics to survive but also to help her sister who is ill. It's subversive and quirky and really funny. Plus the author shares her ties to Israel which I loved.

Moburst Co-Founder and COO Lior Eldan shares his journey and mission to turn mobile marketing into a science. Breaking through the noise in a crowded 5 million apps market requires more than just great technology, it requires seeing what others miss. His approach to leadership challenges conventional command- and-control thinking. "The job of the leader isn't necessarily to have all the answers, but to create an environment where the right answers can emerge." It's about working smart, not just hard and seeing the difference between activity and impact. AI isn't a threat, it's an enabler. "This has an opportunity to be a net good for society."

Author Lior Torenberg unpacks her debut Just Watch Me, a darkly funny livestream novel that exposes the cost of performing pain online, and our hunger to watch.Debut author Lior Torenberg joins us to talk about Just Watch Me, a bold, internet-shaped novel that unfolds over seven days of nonstop livestreaming. Together, we dig into what it means to write fiction rooted in our current digital moment, and why stories about performance feel so urgent right now.We talk about Torenberg's path from initial concept to publication, the realities of debuting with a formally inventive novel, and the creative risks of building a narrative around livestream chats, audience participation, and escalating dares. She also walks us through the choice to compress the story into a single week, and how that story structure intensifies both tension and intimacy.In this fun conversation, we explore:

If you're good or great at everything you do, it can be hard to focus on the one thing you really should be doing. In this episode, Lior Weinstein shares how he learned to identify and strengthen what's most important to him in both his business life and his personal life. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How Lior's entrepreneurism showed up when he was still in grade school.The mindsets Lior gained from growing up in Israel.What drew Lior to move from Israel to the U.S.Why having a child led to Lior struggling as an entrepreneur.The particular freedom that Lior is always working to expand.What happens when entrepreneurs have space, and what happens when they don't. Show Notes: You're born with a Unique Ability®—the activity you're energetically drawn toward and can't get enough of doing. Being good—or even exceptional—at something doesn't automatically make it emotionally fulfilling. If you're a non-entrepreneur, someone else owns your time and controls your activity. There's a common misconception that entrepreneurs are motivated only by money. The “Four Freedoms” that entrepreneurs seek are freedom of time, money, relationship, and purpose. Struggling as a parent isn't a sign of failure—it's a sign that you care deeply. What looks like quitting from the outside may simply be the decision to choose a different path. If you're reflecting on a bad decision, that means you survived it. Entrepreneurs often underestimate the value of their own intuition. If you have the money to solve the problem, you don't have the problem. Resources: Unique Ability “The 4 Freedoms That Motivate Successful Entrepreneurs” Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy

He explains how burnout, staffing shortages, and exploding image volumes strain radiologists who are measured on speed while still expected to catch every abnormality. Lior describes Satori, a platform that unifies outputs from multiple imaging AI tools into a single, actionable view, allowing clinicians to activate several AI engines without juggling fragmented interfaces. Finally, he shares his vision of radiologists evolving from readers to “orchestrators,” similar to pilots working with autopilot, and reflects on Israel's startup culture, his entrepreneurial journey, and the mission to turn AI chaos into clarity for clinicians.  Tune in and learn how AI orchestration can make radiology safer, faster, and more human!
