Mark and Jennifer further delve into the critical need for risk assessment and the subtle complexities of maintaining privacy and security in the lives of affluent families.Learn about all this and more in this episode of The Fearless Mindset Podcast.KEY TAKEAWAYSEstate management for high-net-worth individuals requires personalized, holistic solutions beyond standard hospitality. Security is a spectrum: risk assessments and tailored strategies are essential for each client's unique profile. Privacy and confidentiality are major concerns for both clients and staff in luxury estate management. Every data point—utility bills, car titles, reservations—can be a vulnerability for high-profile individuals. The “circle of trust” must be carefully managed to balance service and privacy.QUOTES“We're serving individuals in their homes, and it's a very close, personable working relationship.” “Security risk is a spectrum. You have to understand what you can do internally, externally, and when it's right to bring in somebody full-time.” “Every single data point that you put your name on is ultimately a weak point for threat mitigation.” “You don't get to make your dinner reservations in your last name anymore. The world is too rich in data.” “Protective intelligence—that's the new era of security.”Get to know more about Jennifer Laurence through the links below.https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferlaurence/To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen to major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

In this episode of Masters of Moments, Jake Wurzak sits down with Isaac Toledano for a wide-ranging conversation on his entrepreneurial journey, development philosophy, and deep commitment to Florida real estate. Isaac reflects on his early start in business at age 15 in Israel, how his risk appetite has evolved, and why partnerships are at the center of his approach. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at marquee deals like Fisher Island and Naples, sharing his methods for evaluating sites, structuring deals, and maintaining a lean, hands-on operation across 31 active projects. Isaac also dives into the importance of location, timing, and branding in condo development, and why he believes Florida remains the best place to live, work, and invest. We discuss: Why Isaac always partners with experienced developers instead of building teams himself The deal structure and timing behind his landmark $122M Fisher Island acquisition How he evaluates risk, and why he chooses to operate exclusively in Florida The value of hands-on involvement and simple deal terms in executing large transactions What buyers expect today in branded luxury condos and how developers can meet that standard Isaac's primary focus centers on luxury residential properties, prime land holdings, office spaces, and mixed-use assets strategically positioned in prime locations. BH Group mitigates risk exposure by targeting large-scale, value-adding prospects within specialized markets while maximizing returns. BH Group has forged partnerships with leading real estate firms in the United States, successfully completing over 1,100 luxury residential units, with an additional 10,000 units in progress.

Austin Allison CEO of Pacaso, joins to discuss the luxury second-home co-ownership market. He talks about how Pacaso's model makes luxury real estate more accessible. Allison notes that while rising interest rates have impacted the broader real estate market, the luxury market has remained stable. High-end homebuyers are less sensitive to rates due to increased cash purchases and view real estate as a stable asset during turbulent times.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Carl Gambino is a hustler and a boss, but ontrary to popular belief, he is not the grandson of one of New York's most infamous crime bosses Carlo Gambino. Actually, Carl grew up in New York and New Jersey in a modest middle class home and cut his teeth in sales at 19 years old by making hundreds of cold calls in boiler rooms across New York. Facing constant rejection and working the phones all day long was an incredible training ground for the world of high end real estate he was about to enter in the years to come.     It was not a straight line to real estate stardom for Carl. After a few years of hard core sales jobs in NYC a fortuitous lifestyle change brought him out West to explore opportunities in the entertainment industry. Los Angeles was not an easy transition and finding a career in Hollywood was illusive to say the least. Something had to change, and it did. A friend who was a real estate developer made an introduction to Kurt Rappaport, the most successful real estate agent on planet, and everything changed.     Carl brought his insatiable ambition and 24-7 work ethic and absorbed everything he could working with Kurt and Stephen Shapiro, the founders of Westside Estate Agency. He became obsessed with leaning everything he could about high end real estate and was lucky enough to have a few huge big breaks representing young pop stars which created massive PR momentum. He parlayed this into a client book of young Hollywood elites and business managers and never looked back.     As his business exploded he left WEA and partnered with Compass to build his own team which now operates in Los Angeles, New York, New Jersey and Miami with over $2 billion in sales. In this episode you will understand his rapid rise to the top.

Carrie McCormick has been crushing it in the windy city of Chicago for over 20 years selling over $2B of real estate in the City core.  Born and raised in Chicago, some would say her route into residential real estate was kismet.  One fateful afternoon sitting at her desk at eTrade she decided to leave and take a walk.  Her long walk ended as she wandered onto the site of a new building under construction and accidentally met the developer.  The developer was impressed by Carrie's insights and straight forward opinions about his project and soon after he offered her a job.  Carrie quit her corporate job and jumped headfirst into New Development sales and the rest is history!   In this episode she shares her approach “100% Carrie” which is the antithesis of the big team model where the team lead is often out of the picture once the listing is signed.  Carrie walks through the roles of her key team members and explains how she is able to be hands on with every client.  School is in session.

Luxury Style Mastery:  5 Days to ICONIC - Register Here Welcome, fabulous icons, to another empowering episode of Real Estate Icons! Today, we're talking about a game-changing concept that will redefine how you think about your business and yourself. Luxury. What is it? How does it show up in your life, your brand, and your client experience? Spoiler alert: it's not about selling multi-million-dollar homes; it's about creating a feeling so exquisite it becomes unforgettable. I'm Afton, your host, and I'm here to speak directly to the ambitious agent inside you. She's ready to show up bolder, more confident, and unapologetically luxurious. Together, we're unlocking a mindset shift that will elevate your brand and leave your clients raving, bonded by experiences that go far beyond the sale. What You'll Learn in This Episode Luxury isn't about price tags or possessions; it's about the feeling you create. Think intention, care, and excellence in every detail. We'll explore what it means to bring that energy forward in every interaction, regardless of the size of the transaction. And here's the twist—it starts with YOU. We'll also unpack why adopting a “Louis Vuitton state of mind” transforms your business, your confidence, and how others perceive your value. Trust me, love, this one's pure gold. The Reality of Luxury Can we get real for a second? When most people hear “luxury,” they think yachts, champagne bars, and designer bags. Sure, that's a part of it—but it's just the surface. At its core, luxury is about the feeling it evokes. It whispers, “You are worth this moment.” Imagine stepping into Chanel. The lighting caresses every surface. The sales associate treats you as if you're the most important person in the world. That care, that attention to detail, that feeling, is what we're talking about. NOW take that same energy and imagine delivering it to your clients. Whether it's their first condo or their dream estate, luxury is about how you make them feel. Energy, elegance, and excellence—that's what turns a business transaction into a lifelong memory. Key Takeaways You'll Love Luxury whispers, “You are worth this.” Understand that before you can offer it to others, you've got to embody it yourself. It's not just a transaction. Each interaction is an opportunity to create an unforgettable experience. Energy doesn't lie. Walk in with intention, poise, and confidence, and others will see your value. Luxury is personal. It's not tied to a price point. It's in the care, attention, and detail you bring to the table. Treat yourself as a brand. The way you show up for yourself reflects the way the world will show up for you. What's Inside This Episode 00:00 Welcome to luxury Branding 01:43 Redefining Luxury (Hint: It's not just about your budget) 06:07 The Feeling of Luxury 09:25 The Louise Vuitton vs. Target (Change the way you think!) 10:45 Sneak Peek of the Luxury Style Mastery Masterclass 13:30 Why Your Confidence Sets the Stage for Everything It's Time for YOU to Elevate Here's the truth. You don't have to wait to embody luxury. You don't need to hit specific sales goals to start showing up as the radiant, iconic agent you know you are. Luxury begins NOW.

Episode Overview: In this episode, John Kitchens is joined by real estate expert and investor Jacob Weaver to unpack what it really takes to break into and thrive in high-end real estate. From creative deal structures to mindset shifts, Jacob shares his journey from a government cubicle to multi-million-dollar listings—and how agents can follow a clear, strategic path to elevate their price point and transform their income, career, and life. Whether you're feeling boxed in by average commissions or just want to stop being replaceable in a changing market, this episode will show you exactly how to reposition yourself for long-term success. Key Topics Covered:   The Shift from Engineer to Entrepreneur How a government cubicle sparked a realization that launched a real estate career. Why your ladder might be against the wrong building—and how to know when it's time to pivot. What hustling $75 in monthly cash flow taught Jacob about wealth-building. Creative Deal Structures that Actually Work The investor skillset that every residential agent must learn. How Jacob structured a $500 lease-option deal that netted $50K—and solved the seller's biggest pain point. Why learning how to structure creative financing opens the door to owning, not just selling. Breaking into the Luxury Market The moment Jacob realized selling one $5M home could replace a year of flipping stress. Why luxury isn't just about price—it's about nuance, skill, and service. How agents can use niche expertise (like new construction) to gain credibility and listings in the high-end space. Mindset Shifts for High-Level Performance The two-part equation: belief + skillset = confidence to play at a higher level. How agents sabotage themselves with limiting beliefs—and what to do instead. Why the “fun” in real estate comes from leveling up and learning new skillsets. Why Luxury Is the Future-Proof Path How the middle of the market is being squeezed—and what's happening with institutional buyers. Why the luxury consumer still wants a pro—and will pay a premium for personalized expertise. Why your future in real estate may depend on the niche you pick today. Actionable Takeaways: Learn creative finance strategies to unlock all types of deals—not just the easy ones. Study market nuances by price band, not just average trends—luxury is hyper-local. Find your niche in the high-end market—whether it's new construction, relocation, or investment property matchmaking. Build belief by building skill: develop vocabulary, negotiation techniques, and market insights. Start with momentum: one intentional action a day can transform your career in 30 days.
