And the modern traveler doesn't want cookie-cutter rooms anymore — they want design-driven, Instagrammable stays with real hospitality baked in.In this episode, Rich breaks down the exact playbook he used to escape his 9–5 as an air traffic controller and build a fast-growing boutique hotel portfolio with seller financing, AI, and influencer-powered marketing.

Do you ever feel like your landscaping business is on fire and you're just running around putting out flames? If you're tired of being a reactive firefighter and want to get in control, this episode is your blueprint.   Scott sits down with Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organization, to tackle the chaos that burns out so many business owners. They dive into why many entrepreneurs, especially those with ADHD or similar tendencies, get trapped in a cycle of "scaling chaos"—growing the business without the systems to support it. Skye shares the common signs you might be working against your brain, from time blindness to struggling with delegation.   You'll get Skye's practical "Focus Formula" to figure out what to do first when you have 200 things on your list (hint: there are never more than five truly urgent tasks). You'll also learn a simple, AI-powered way to start delegating tasks, break free from the "no one can do it as well as me" mindset, and finally build a business that doesn't depend on you to do everything.   Welcome to The Million Dollar Landscaper Podcast w/ Scott Molchan, a show for business owners who want to stop spinning their wheels and build a profitable company without the burnout.   Connect with Skye Waterson: Website: unconventionalorganization.com Instagram: @unconventionalorganization (Message her for the free AI chatbots mentioned in the episode!)

If you're not transforming, you're getting left behind. That reality makes transformation anything but presto change; it's a mindset shift, sustained motion, and a clear "why" your people can see themselves in.   To turn that into visible progress while keeping the ship pointed at a destination the business recognizes, Drew brings together Chris Pieper (ADP), Putney Cloos (Bombora), and David Levy (Foundever) to share how each leads transformation across differently scaled organizations. From making progress visible to earning belief across the org and sustaining momentum through the messy middle, they show how change takes hold. In this episode:  Chris pilots with sales champions, proves pipeline impact, and turns small wins into momentum.  Putney makes the case for change, maps "scrappy to industrial strength" milestones, and scales what works.  David runs parallel lanes to protect the core while building the future, aligning his org to work ambidextrously. Plus:  How to make progress visible with simple roadmaps and real milestones.  How pilots, quick wins, and pipeline proof bring sales along.  Why stopping low-value work frees resources for what matters.   What to hire for in ambiguity: people who try new things and move fast. Tune in if you are steering big change and want practical ways to show progress, win belief, and keep momentum through the messy middle.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Late-stage financing plays a critical role in the growth trajectory of technology scale-ups, particularly as they transition from early innovation phases to market dominance and potential exits via IPOs or acquisitions. Larger capital injections can be found from multiple avenues; VCs, private equity, corporate investors, family offices, sovereign wealth funds and growth-focused hedge funds. While the volume of capital to European growth stage companies since 2015 has tripled, there is still a funding gap and bottlenecks in Europe compared to the US.In this episode three experts discuss Europe's growth stage tech landscape, the funding available, challenges ahead and what is needed to build more billion dollar companies in Europe. They are Luca Ferrari, Co-Founder & CEO of Bending Spoons, Hilary Gosher, Managing Director at Insight Partners and Tommaso Fassati, Head of Wealth Management Italy at BNP Paribas.Sources: FT Resources, Atomico, Roland Berger, Anthropic, European Commission, Semiconductor Industry Association, Korn FerryThis content is paid for by BNP Paribas and is produced in partnership with the Financial Times' Commercial Department.

In this episode, historian Dr. Chris Smith discusses the Coventry Blitz, marking its 85th anniversary. He explores the myths surrounding the event, particularly the narrative that Churchill sacrificed Coventry to protect intelligence secrets. The conversation delves into the scale of the bombing, the city's industrial significance, the immediate aftermath, and the role of propaganda. Smith also highlights the reconstruction efforts and the lasting legacy of the Blitz in Coventry's identity, emphasizing themes of resilience and reconciliation. Note: I'm aware of the technical problems with the guest's video - unfortunately, there is no way to fix it, but the audio is fine. Also, there will not be a podcast next week due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Links Chris Smith at Coventry University "The Last Cambridge Spy: John Cairncross, Bletchley Codebreaker and Soviet Double Agent" by Chris Smith Official Coventry Cathedral website: coventrycathedral.org.uk Hitler's Btlitz's on Britain (Article) Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways The Coventry Blitz is framed by both historical and modern narratives. Myths surrounding the Blitz, particularly about Churchill, persist despite being debunked. The bombing raid on Coventry was one of the largest of the war at that time. Coventry's industrial significance made it a strategic target during WWII. The aftermath of the bombing revealed a complex public reaction, not just unity. Propaganda played a crucial role in shaping public perception of the Blitz. The reconstruction of Coventry was influenced by pre-war modernization plans. The new cathedral symbolizes peace and reconciliation after the war. Coventry's identity is deeply tied to the events of the Blitz. Commemoration of the Blitz remains significant in Coventry's cultural memory. Soundbites Here are 10 interesting soundbites from the Coventry Blitz podcast: On the scale of the raid: "They dropped something in the region of 30,000 incendiary bombs, 500 tons of high explosives and 50 landmines. They even used some brand new types of explosive that they hadn't really been using to that point. It's a really, really massive raid by the standards of the war to that point." On the Churchill Ultra myth: "There's no evidence that Churchill made a decision to sacrifice Coventry. It's an absolute fantasy which basically has to rely upon either Churchill being the most evil man who has ever existed or the most incompetent man who has ever existed." On strategic bombing's true purpose: "One of the points of strategic bombing is terror, is to cause terror amongst the citizens... the British actually have a really nasty euphemism for this, which was to 'dehouse people' as a result of bombing. And that's how they basically described killing citizens and making other citizens homeless." On Coventry's industrial importance: "Coventry is hugely important industrially to Britain's war effort... by the time we get into the 20th century, bicycle manufacturing, the auto industry, the car industry becomes very important to Coventry, which makes it both wealthy and a ripe target." On the cathedral's symbolism: "They didn't knock it down. They built a new cathedral right next to it. So if any of your listeners ever visit Coventry, you can actually walk around the ruins of the old cathedral... It's a really powerful testament to resilience." On why the myth persists: "The myth of Churchill sacrificing Coventry persists because it plays into this very British, post-war self-image of stoic heroism and difficult choices. It makes for a better story than the truth, which is that sometimes intelligence fails and terrible things happen." On comparing bombing campaigns: "In Dresden, over 22,000 people are killed. The US conventional bombing of Tokyo kills over 100,000 people. So by those standards, what we're talking about in Coventry is relatively light, but by the context of what's happening in Britain, it's extremely serious." On "Keep Calm and Carry On": "These posters were wildly unpopular. They're really patronizing. They never really get used in the Second World War—they mostly just stay in a warehouse and are pulped for paper. But now they've taken on this massive life... You cannot go to London without seeing them, but you wouldn't have seen that in the Second World War at all." On Coventry's transformation: "Coventry becomes a symbol of reconciliation and peace after the war, forging connections with other bombed cities including Dresden. It's this remarkable transformation from devastation to representing hope and international cooperation." On the raid's duration: "The raid begins around seven o'clock in the evening, 10 past seven, and it lasts for a good 11 hours. The all-clear isn't actually announced until 6:16 the following morning. Eleven hours of continuous bombing—imagine living through that."

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy, and Smart podcast, host Dr. Karen Litzy welcomes Dr. Pedro Teixeira, MD, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Prediction Health. They discuss the intersection of technology and healthcare, focusing on how tech can enhance clinical care and improve healthcare performance. Dr. Teixeira shares insights from his journey developing AI tools for clinical documentation and analytics, emphasizing the importance of mission-driven work, navigating ambiguity, and the parallels between tech founders and clinicians.   Takeaways   Dealing with ambiguity is crucial in both tech and healthcare. Tracking progress with meaningful metrics is essential. Feedback from real users leads to valuable insights. AI can significantly reduce clinicians' documentation time. Human elements are vital in tech and healthcare systems. Continuous improvement is key to success. Selling outcomes is more effective than selling products. Data interpretation requires context and thoughtful analysis. Trying and failing is better than not trying at all.   Chapters   ·     00:00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction ·       00:00:00 Parallels Between Tech Founders and Clinicians ·       00:00:00 Mission-Driven Work and Dealing with Ambiguity ·       00:00:00 Importance of Metrics and Feedback ·       00:00:01 AI's Role in Reducing Documentation Time ·       00:00:01 Human Elements in Tech and Healthcare ·       00:00:01 Continuous Improvement and Selling Outcomes ·       00:00:02 Data Interpretation and Context ·       00:00:02 Advice on Trying and Failing   More About Dr. Teixeira: Pedro Teixeira, MD, PhD, is the Co-founder and CEO of PredictionHealth, a Prompt company that is addressing one of healthcare's fundamental challenges: clinical documentation. Under his leadership since 2017, PredictionHealth developed an AI platform that delivers analytics to power better organizational performance and a documentation assistant that turns patient-provider conversations into compliant documentation so clinicians can focus more on patient care. Dr. Teixeira's expertise in biomedical informatics was honed during his time as an MD/PhD candidate at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he collaborated with leaders in biomedical informatics. Before this, he earned a Master's degree in Biomedical Informatics from Vanderbilt University and a Bachelor's degree in Biochemical Sciences and Computer Science from Harvard University. Driven by a mission to make it easy for clinicians to deliver the best care to every patient every time, Dr. Teixeira's work continues to bridge the gap between data science and clinical excellence.

Collin Ship built his YouTube channel for one purpose: drive qualified leads into his business. He wasn't trying to grow an audience or chase viral moments. He wanted a predictable system that pointed people toward his offer. And it proved how effective a small channel can be when it's built the right way. Collin took an "unsexy" niche (blogging) and paired it with a search-driven YouTube strategy built entirely around keywords, intent, and simple videos that matched what people were actually looking for. That combination led to a multi-7-figure business powered by steady, targeted traffic. In this episode, Collin breaks down the framework that fueled early traction, the surprising advantage YouTube gives new creators that Google doesn't, and why staying niche made sponsorships and affiliate deals far more lucrative.    Key Takeaways 00:00 Intro 01:22 Blogging Isn't Dead - $1.2M in 18 Months 05:23 Why Personal Branding Holds You Accountable 09:56 Using YouTube Strictly for Lead Generation 12:35 YouTube Keyword Strategy That Drove Early Growth 15:17 Does Going Broad on YouTube Hurt Lead Quality? 17:47 YouTube Publishing Frequency – The Sweet Spot 18:18 Why Long YouTube Videos Build Massive Trust 19:11 Make Your Free Content Better Than Paid 19:46 The Four Pillars of YouTube Monetization 21:35 YouTube Channels That Land Affiliates & Sponsors 26:19 Intent vs. Interruption Content Marketing 27:12 Using Paid Ads AND Organic Content to Scale 28:16 How to Run YouTube Ads Without Being Punished 31:20 Getting 6,000+ Leads per Month From YouTube 32:45 The Pros/Cons of Becoming Internet Famous 34:12 Where AI Fits in Your Content System 39:54 The Biggest Mistake People Make with AI 40:49 How He Revived His Offer With an AI Rebrand   Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/li6jI6YsT3A   Let's Connect: Website | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | Twitter | Facebook

What if the secret to balance wasn't managing your time better… but aligning it with what truly matters?In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany — Christian, physician, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and mom — who helps women navigate the toughest transitions of health and life with faith and purpose. From postpartum recovery to perimenopause, she knows firsthand that “time management” isn't enough if your heart and priorities are out of alignment.We talk about the moments that changed everything for her (including landing herself in the hospital) and what she learned about saying no as a form of stewardship — because when you don't say no to anyone, you can't say yes to God.Here's what we cover in this conversation:Why alignment matters more than balance or a perfect scheduleHow to protect your time by prioritizing what you say matters mostWhat it means to live by your VIPs: Values, Impact, and PrioritiesThe surprising cost of saying “yes” too often — personally and professionallyHow to steward your God-given gifts instead of carrying everyone else'sPractical ways to invite God into your daily decisions and listen for His directionIf you've ever felt stretched thin trying to do it all, this episode will remind you that boundaries aren't barriers — they're blessings.

What does it take to scale a business from a single restaurant in Kentucky to a nationally recognized brand? Few people understand that blueprint better than Lee Greer, President of Greer Companies - the force behind Cheddar's national expansion, the real estate portfolio that underpins the company, and the global rise of Activate through Sounds Fun Entertainment.In this episode of DevelopLex, Weston and Ross sit down with Lee to unpack the strategy, discipline, and culture that have defined Greer Companies for decades. From raising hundreds of millions on Wall Street to working every station in a Cheddar's kitchen, Lee shares how those experiences shaped the systems-driven, people-first approach that he now applies across restaurants, entertainment concepts, and real estate development.Lee breaks down the story behind the Cheddar's exit - including the last-minute negotiation move that added $72 million to the deal - and how that capital helped fuel significant projects in Lexington like City Center. He also explains why Activate became the perfect next venture: a concept built on physical and mental challenges, designed for repeat play, and structured with low labor and no cost of goods.In this episode, you'll hear:- How Wall Street deal-making trained Lee to think in scale, systems, and returns- Why Cheddar's succeeded through culture, consistency, and operational discipline- The behind-the-scenes story of the Cheddar's exit and how it reshaped Greer Companies- Why Activate's experiential model is built for global growth and why it works- How real estate remains the backbone of Lee's long-term investment strategy- What Lexington needs to unlock its next stage of intentional growthHosted by ⁠⁠⁠Weston Lockhart⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Ross Boggess⁠⁠⁠DevelopLex is proud to be supported by:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SVN Stone Commercial Real Estate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Community Trust Bank⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Craftsman Contractors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bowman⁠

When his filmmaking career stalled during the pandemic, Toby Lockerbie turned to the one place that had never stopped inspiring him: the Universe. With no background in visual effects, he taught himself the tools needed to transform complex space science into cinematic stories using everyday objects and beautifully crafted visuals to make the Cosmos feel human. His channel, Epic Spaceman, now reaches millions and has earned multiple Webby Awards for its innovative approach to visualizing scale, awe, and accessible science. This week on Planetary Radio, Toby joins host Sarah Al-Ahmed to discuss the creation of Epic Spaceman, how visual metaphors can change how we understand the Universe, and why awe remains one of the most powerful tools for science communication. Then we welcome Bruce Betts back for What’s Up, where we reflect on the end of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Akatsuki mission to Venus.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Is your agency growing fast but still running without the right structure or leadership team to sustain that growth? If too many people are reporting directly to you, it's a clear sign you've outgrown your current setup. But building that next layer of leadership isn't as simple as promoting your top performers. Without a clear strategy, those well-intentioned promotions can backfire, causing confusion, turnover, and setbacks that stall your agency's momentum. Today's featured guest learned that lesson firsthand. After experiencing a year of costly turnover caused by the wrong management moves, he came away with a better understanding of what real leadership development looks like. In this episode, he'll share what it takes to scale beyond seven figures, the mistakes that nearly derailed his agency's growth, and the key shifts that helped him build a stronger, more sustainable business. Brandon Rost is the founder and CEO of be Marketing, a Pennsylvania-based advertising agency that helps brands grow through creative, digital, and media strategies. Over the past decade and a half, Brandon has built his agency from a solo operation into a multi-million-dollar powerhouse by focusing on relationships, resourcefulness, and relentless problem-solving. He's proof that you don't need to have all the answers when you start, just the willingness to figure it out along the way. In this episode, we'll discuss: How to reinvest profits strategically to scale your agency sustainably. Why promoting top performers doesn't already create effective leaders. The KPI's and systems that improved profit and cash flow. The mindset shift that turns fast growth into longterm success.

At the time, he was managing social media for a corporate job and bartending on the side when a PR firm owner offered him a shot at managing her clients' social accounts. What started as ten small accounts quickly snowballed into a full-time business. Like most early-stage entrepreneurs, he had no idea what he was doing at first. He sent invoices in Word documents, figured out HR and finance on the fly, and said "yes" to every opportunity—then learned how to deliver later. It wasn't glamorous, but it worked. That resourcefulness became his superpower. As anyone who has grown a business can tell you, success comes from resourcefulness - not knowing everything. You don't have to know everything right now. Just figure it out and make it work. Scaling Up: Investing Every Dollar Back In the Agency For the first few years, Brandon kept bartending to cover his bills and put every dollar the agency made back into growth. That discipline gave him the runway to build a real company without debt or short-term panic. He hired his first part-time employee within a year, went full-time around year two, and hit seven figures by year four in 2014. However, crossing the million-dollar mark didn't come with confetti and fireworks. It came with more responsibility, more moving parts, and a steeper learning curve. "Everyone thinks hitting a million feels different," Brandon said. "It doesn't. It just brings on more work." Instead of waiting for that milestone to magically change things, focus on building the right foundation so the business can continue to grow without you doing everything. Make it a point to continue to delegate part of that workload every quarter, and after a couple of years, you'll find you've gotten your freedom back. Learning to Lead and Let Go: Building a Leadership Team Brandon learned the hard way that leading people requires a completely different skill set than landing clients. As the agency grew, he at one point had seventeen people reporting to him and eventually realized it just wasn't sustainable. It was the right moment to create different positions that would oversee different departments. However, his strategy was flawed at first; "We elevated people just to elevate them," he said. "And it set us back a year." He never stopped to ask whether or not those employees were ready or even suited for management roles. As a result, they dealt with a year of turnover followed by slowly getting back on track. The lesson for Brandon was: put the right people in the right seats, and don't assume your best technician wants to—or should—manage others. Leadership isn't a promotion; it's a whole new role. Knowing Your Numbers and Turning Chaos Into Profitability Once the business hit its stride, Brandon turned his focus to profitability. He shared how the agency once got caught in a dangerous cash flow loop of collecting Google ad payments for clients and effectively becoming a bank instead of a marketing firm. After untangling that, his team started tracking key KPIs more closely: AGI (Agency Gross Income) in the 55–60% range Net profit around 10–12% Payroll around 33% of AGI By simplifying operations and separating client media costs from agency revenue, they stabilized cash flow and built a healthier margin. Simply put, what you measure improves and, for Brandon, that meant finally treating the numbers as a steering wheel instead of a rearview mirror. Sales: The Last Most Agency Owners Are Ready to Hang Up Even after 15 years, Brandon still handles most of the sales himself. It's something he admits he should've delegated earlier, but building a sales team isn't as easy as hiring a "radio guy" and hoping they sell. After two failed attempts, Brandon realized the problem wasn't the salespeople but rather the lack of systems. Now, the new plan is to support the team with brand marketing, create a "sales tackle box" full of proven client stories, and build repeatable processes for outreach, follow-up, and closing. You'll always be the best salesperson until you document what's in your head. With the right structure and stories in place, a sales team can finally scale what made the founder successful in the first place. What Scaling Fast Taught Him About Patience and Culture Looking back, Brandon said the biggest surprise was how much patience real growth takes—and how easy it is to lose sight of culture while scaling fast. Whether it was figuring out HR policies, managing team dynamics, or setting boundaries for office events, every new level came with a new layer of learning. He now focuses on balance: growing deliberately, empowering leaders, and making sure the culture that got them here doesn't get lost along the way. "We've learned to grow smarter, not faster," he said. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset? Looking to dig deeper into your agency's potential?

Ever feel like you're hustling nonstop but still wondering, “Why isn't this moving faster?” Or maybe you've hit that invisible wall where the business is growing… yet somehow you're not growing with it? In this episode of the Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm jammin' with David Guttman, a serial entrepreneur, executive leader, and business strategist with over 35 years of building, scaling, and exiting multiple eight and nine-figure companies. This dude is a three-time Inc. 500 entrepreneur, has an undergrad in Computer Science from Brown University, an MBA from Wharton, and has led teams of hundreds while growing companies from near-bankruptcy to blockbuster exits. He's lived the startup grind, the CEO pressure-cooker, the investor negotiations, the due diligence marathons — all of it.But what makes David so special isn't the titles. He's lived real adversity, made real money, lost real sleep, and came out with clarity, humility, and wisdom worth borrowing.In this episode, we dive into everything from raising capital to avoiding the trap of traditional education… from avoiding burnout to leveraging AI… from building healthier relationships to firing your worst customers. The breadth of knowledge he brings is crazy, but the heart behind it is even better.David breaks down the single biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to raise money or prepare for an exit, failing to budget and forecast. He explains why “dollar cost average into Bitcoin” may be smarter than chasing shiny objects, why AI will replace those who don't use it, and why authenticity beats any degree, credential, or fancy LinkedIn headline.Here are a few key takeaways from the episode:Your business is blind without a budget. If you're not forecasting, tracking, and adjusting, you're not running a company — you're gambling. A real financial model acts like a crystal ball and boosts your valuation instantly.Mentorship beats an MBA every time. David explains why working for a powerhouse leader (even for free) will fast-track your growth more than any traditional education ever could.Fire your worst customers. They drain 80% of your energy and slow your growth. Raise your price until they leave — or until they become worth it.AI is the new calculator — ignore it and get left behind. Spend a couple hours a week learning and applying it, and you'll leapfrog the competition. Avoid it, and you'll get replaced.Authenticity wins the long game. The world is noisy. People trust people — not institutions. Build a personal brand rooted in truth, service, and value.David also breaks down the real reason businesses stall during acquisitions, how to build the right board of advisors, why fast “no's” are better than slow “maybe's,” and why success feels empty unless your relationships, health, and integrity stay intact along the way.This episode is for every entrepreneur who wants to scale without losing themselves. For every hustler who wants to work smarter, earn more, and still be present for the people who matter. And for every dreamer who knows there's more in the tank, more impact, more purpose, more joy.If you're ready to level up how you build, how you lead, and how you live, then you've gotta tune into this full conversation. David drops tactical wisdom, real-world stories, and mindset shifts you'll want to revisit again and again.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? David says it's like, if you can enjoy the journey, then what's it all for?

Most investors miss these deals—here's how Rich turns “trash leads” into big profits. Most wholesalers toss leads that don't fit the typical model. But Rich Wonders figured out how to close over 20 deals a month from the same “dead leads” most people ignore. In this episode, I dive deep into Rich's unique novation strategy, how he qualifies sellers, why small towns are goldmines, and what he does differently to make sellers love the process. If you're tired of chasing cold leads or spending more than you make on PPC, this convo will change the game. I'm all about helping you build a business of freedom and impact—and Rich is living proof it's possible when you simplify, systematize, and focus on what actually works. --------------------- Quotes from the Episode: "Simple scales, fancy fails. I've built everything around that." "We close 20 to 30 deals a month with leads most people throw away." "You don't have to remodel—just deliver the result on a silver platter." --------------------- References and Mentions: novationjv.com Novation King on Instagram & YouTube Brent Daniels / TTP PropStream Think and Grow Rich Outwitting the Devil The Screwtape Letters --------------------- Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: Turning Trash Leads into Deals 01:10 – Meet Rich Wonders + Why This Episode Matters 03:30 – The Power of Follow-Up: Over Half of Rich's Deals 06:00 – How Rich Closes 20–30 Deals a Month 08:45 – Rich's First Real Estate Flop + Lessons Learned 14:10 – From Selling Vacuums to Building a Real Estate Machine 18:20 – The Turning Point: Getting Back on Track 22:05 – Where Rich Gets His Leads (Hint: Other Wholesalers) 26:00 – What Makes a “Trash Lead” Profitable 28:45 – Small Towns = Big Opportunity 32:15 – Rich's 3-Phase Sales Strategy Explained 36:00 – What Sets His Novation Model Apart 40:20 – Lead Qualification: Who's a Fit for Novations? 43:40 – Comping & Making Offers (No Rehab Needed) 49:20 – Why His Model Is Built to Scale 54:00 – Red Flags: When Novations Might Not Work 57:20 – Silver Platter Strategy: Positioning with Sellers 1:01:15 – Seller Psychology & Frame Control Tips 1:05:40 – Real Sales Feedback: What His Team Gets Wrong 1:09:00 – Positioning vs. Chasing: Making Sellers Want You 1:13:30 – Fire Round: Book Recs, Advice, and What Drives Rich 1:20:15 – Final Thoughts + How to Partner with Rich --------------------- ➨Our Evergreen Marketing Podcast: https://plnk.to/Carrot ➨Our CEO, Trevor Mauch's Entrepreneur Freedom Formula Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/EFF ➨ Facebook Group for Evergreen Marketing: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity ➨Subscribe to our YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GetCarrot ➨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getcarrot/ ➨Take a demo of Carrot.com: https://carrot.ly/GQ8I --------------------- About Us: At Carrot, our vision is to inspire & empower real estate professionals to gain true freedom and make a greater impact with their businesses.
