The Coalition is a diverse group of activist organisations and individuals fighting to ensure the right to protest, which has been increasingly threatened in Victoria. In the face of mass protest in solidarity with Palestinians subjected to Israel's 15+ month genocidal assault on Gaza, the Allan Government has already introduced several bills into Parliament which encroach on freedom of expression and assembly, though the proposed legislation represents one of the harshest anti-protest crackdowns in recent years.  The Defend Dissent Coalition is organising a rally against the anti-protest laws on March 19th at 5:30PM outside the Parliament of Victoria - follow them on Instagram at @defenddissentcoalition for updates.// Amin Abbas at Palestine Rally//We listen back to a speech by Palestinian activist Amin G Abbas from the Free Palestine Rally on Sunday 9 February in Naarm, where Amin condemned Donald Trump's announcement of his intention to ethnically cleanse Gaza, and praised the strength of the people of Gaza as they return to their shattered homes.// Slingshot Books on Tabkha//Tess Cullity, founder of Slingshot Books, spoke with us about the process of publishing Tabkha: Recipes From Under the Rubble, a cook book written by Palestinian chef Mona Zahed while under genocidal siege in Gaza and illustrated by artists from Coffees For Gaza. We also play a clip of Mona talking about the book which she recorded last year before the announcement of the ceasefire agreement (our thanks to Mell Chun for editing and sharing this audio).  Mona has always loved cooking, artfully presenting food, and helping her friends prepare for their special occasions. Prior to October 2023 she ran a successful catering business, putting her skills and passions to practice. Tabkha is Mona's debut title, filled with twenty of her most beloved recipes.  Slingshot books is a tiny radical publishing house creating playful and politically potent books for kids and their grown-ups. Tess aims to serve a revolutionary readership, providing people with print objects that ignite their imagination and passion for change.  Preorder Tabkha by heading to tabkhabook.com - all proceeds from book sales (apart from printing and postage costs) will go to Mona and her community in Gaza.// PALM Scheme Worker Exploitation//RMIT PhD researcher Ema Moolchand joined us to discuss the co-authored report, Meat the Reality, which exposes the exploitation of workers under the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme in Australia. People from Timor-Leste and Pacific Island regions working under the PALM scheme form the backbone of the Australian meat industry, but despite their crucial labour, PALM scheme workers commonly face "sub-minimum wages, sham contracts, and punitive deductions." Ema's doctoral research focuses on the ways that modern slavery shows up in local and global production networks, with a particular focus on the cleaning and meat industries.  Learn more about the conditions faced by PALM workers and what needs to change by reading the full report here. You can support the Australian Workers Union's campaign for fair conditions for PALM workers by signing this petition. Ema mentioned an exhibition of photographs taken by PALM workers which will be held at the Australian National University in March 2025 - find out more here.// Queensland Trans Youth Healthcare Access//Content warning: this interview includes discussion of transphobia, suicide and self harm.

This decision, which was met with national outrage and protests around the country this past Saturday the 8th of February, forces 491 young people to wait for life-saving care until an inquiry into gender-affirming healthcare and hormone therapies takes place. Further information about the changes, state and federal inquiries, and their impacts are available in this resource developed by Transcend Australia, AusPATH, and LGBTIQ+ Health Australia. Necho shared several calls to action to support trans and gender diverse young people in Queensland:Write to Queensland Health Minister Tim Nicholls to express your concern about the government's decision to suspend access to gender affirming care for new patients under the age of 18. Contact details for Minister Nicholls are available here.Trans young people and their families can write to Open Doors Youth Service to share their stories about the importance of gender affirming health care here.Donate to Project 491, an initiative led by AusPATH in response to the Queensland Government's decision to restrict gender affirming care for trans and gender diverse children.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024. Nucor Steel makes more progress towards completion of its sprawling mill in Mason County…a local organization dedicated to giving veterans a green thumb expands to Charleston…and Generation WV Career Connector helps employers find more qualified talent throughout the state …on today's daily304. #1 – From METRO NEWS – A year after ground was broken, a massive industrial complex is taking shape in Mason County on Rt. 2 along the Ohio River. Across the site, which rivals the size of some small towns in West Virginia, massive steel skeletons are rising from the flat river bottom skyward. When complete, the facility will house one of the world's most state of the art and clean operating steel mills in the world. “We're probably two years away from start up, so we're probably a third of the way through the construction process. Some of the first pieces of equipment have been set in the last couple of weeks and that will ramp up as we move forward,” said Nucor Steel CEO Leon Topalian. Just under 250 Nucor employees are on site along with close to 1,000 contractors and construction workers moving the project along. Topalian said the outlook is for steel products to start rolling off the line at the facility in 2027.

Welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for the 7th of October 2024, dedicated entirely to speaking about Palestine, Palestinian resistance, and contextualising October 7th 2023 within a larger history of Israel's apartheid and genocide against Palestine. In this show you'll hear:  First up today, we will be listening to the first article from Issue Three of The Sunday Paper, and about the events of October 7th and the Palestinian Resistance doctrine. These topics are of particular importance to Issue Three, in which the editorial statement states “While outwardly supportive of Palestinian rights, and perhaps even self described as radically anti-colonial, many progressive publishers, platforms and organisations will quietly erase words like ‘martyr' or ‘intifada' and will quickly withdraw their support at the mention of armed liberation struggle”.You can go back and listen to the full editorial statement in the introductory episode, for a complete explanation of Issue Three's conceptual basis here. The piece we are featuring today, titled 'Tarakum' was written by a Palestinian PhD candidate in political science who wrote this analysis on the events of October 7 2023, under the pseudonym ‘Nabil Mustafa'. Read by Jeanine Mohanned, and with theme music from DOBBY, and includes the track the track ‘Liberation of Palestine', performed by Bilal and Khader Al-Ahmad. This episode was produced on Wurundjeri land, which was invaded, stolen and remains under occupation. Colonial violence continues as does Indigenous Resistance. Support the project by subscribing to their substack and gaining full access to their podcasts.Following that, Rob had an extended interview with Mai Saif, local Palestinian organiser who has been campaigning and fighting for justice for over a decade. They spoke about the Free Palestine movement here in Naarm, how life has changed for Palestinian activists over the past year, and what it has been like to organise a year of consistent rallies advocating for a free Palestine. We then hear speeches from the Sunday Free Palestine Rally on the 6th of October: Senator Lidia Thorpe spoke on the parallels between Palestinian and Australia Aboriginal genocide, before giving the floor to her uncle, Uncle Robbie Thorpe for an unexpected speech after spending 3 weeks in hospital. After, fellow Aboriginal activist and academic Professor Gary Foley took to the stage with a scathing rebuke of Australian Government hypocrisy.Finally, Rob spoke with Esther from the Flood The Post Campaign, which is a push to send as many physical postcards to MPs around this continent in order to pressure them to take meaningful action on Palestine. You can find out more about their campaign here and pick up a Flood The Post postcard at the reception desk of 3CR at 21 Smith Street in 'Fitzroy' during business hours. The show ends with a list of community announcements, mostly based around October 7th:  Monday night from 6pm: Vigil for Gaza to commemorate the first anniversary of the first bombs dropped on Gaza in Israel's current genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people. October 7 2023 also marks the first day Israel transformed Gaza from an 'open-air prison' into a 'graveyard for children'. No ministers, no Victorian Premier, no Prime Minister will join this multifaith, multicultural vigil. Wear your kufiya, wear black and respect the silent procession which starts at the Marquis of Linlithgow monument, corner of Anzac Avenue, and St Kilda Rd from 6pm sharp.There will also be a vigil this Friday the 11th of October at Federation Square from 6:30pm. The event organised by Free Palestine Melbourne is an event to grieve the many thousands of victims at the hands of Israel's violence.On Palestine National Day, the 1st of November, at 6pm Fed Square will see an event recognising Palestinian identity as a form of resistance. On Thursday evening the Migrant Workers Coalition hosts a public forum speaking about what's going on with the CFMEU. The forum will cover what the Labor Party's attacks on the CFMEU means for workers rights everywhere, how it will impact the real working and living conditions of tens of thousands of people and what we can do about it. Speakers include Ralph Edwards, Former presidentt of the Victoria CFMEU Construction and General Division and former BLF member; Sanja Markoska, CFMEU Construction worker and delegate; Guy Rundle, co-ordinating editor at Arena Quarterly and correspondent at large for Crikey. The forum will take place at 583 High St Thornbury from 6:30pm.

Smith Street Taps 10th Anniversary commemorative glass. Meng and Kim Chow, owners of Smith Street Taps in Singapore, join Brew Ha Ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras today. It is their first time on Brew Ha Ha. Lana Svitankova is also in the studio today. Her full conversation with Herlinda can be heard over here on its own podcast episode. Meng and Kim have brought a Smith Street Taps glass like the one pictured here, as a gift for Steve. They have just celebrated their tenth anniversary. They also have another stall now, called by a similar name, Smith Street Taproom. Herlinda met Meng and Kim in Singapore when she was judging in the Asia Beer Cup. The city is obviously very clean and well organized, and Herlinda remembers feeling safe in the city, even when she got lost at night. Singapore's Hawker Stalls Smith Street Taps is located among the hawker stalls in Singapore. These are large food courts with many restaurants serving a wide variety of styles of food. It is Singapore's way of organizing what would otherwise be street food. Visit Homerun Pizza, home of the Knuckleball! Fresh pizza dough made from scratch daily, la pizza è deliziosa! Kim explains that Smith Street Taps is the first and only hawker stall dedicated to craft beer, among all the many hawker stalls in Singapore. They have craft beer on tap from all over the world. Hawker culture in Singapore is heritage, so it is protected, promoted and highly appreciated." -Kim Chow Rumble in the Jungle (photo by Lana Svitankova). Meng has opened a beer called Rumble in the Jungle, a Stout which he produced in a collaboration with Brewlander, a local brewery, and Jungle Beer, formerly of Singapore and now based in India. It is a stout flavored with chickory from India, with an 8% ABV. "Works for me!" says Steve Jaxon. Herlinda remembers a 16 hour flight from California to Singapore, which Meng and Kim also just did. Thinking out loud, next time, she might fly 9 hours to Japan first, then fly the next leg from Japan to Singapore, another 9 hours. The Singapore Sling The Singapore Sling is the number one local cocktail. It is a gin-based cocktail believed to have been created by a bartender at Raffles Hotel in Singapore. They still serve them there, so go get one if you're visiting Singapore, it can't be missed. Spoiler Alert! --> In a shaker with ice, add gin, cherry liqueur, Cointreau, Benedictine, pineapple juice, lime juice, Grenadine syrup and a dash of Angostura bitters. Serve strained into a hurricane glass. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. Meng had the first craft beer bottle shop in Singapore, before Smith Street Taps. He is on his way to Boston for his son's graduation from Northeastern University. Meng's great wish is to find out how he can get to drive a hop picking machine like the one at the museum. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. The Museum of Sonoma County exhibit ON TAP is about the history of hops and beer in Sonoma County. It will remain open until September 1.

House numbers play a subconscious role in how we choose the house that is right for us. Each number resonates a certain vibration that rings true to the people who live there.  Numerology explains that. Today, for a bit of fun, we are going to talk to an expert numerologist and go through all the different house numbers and see what characteristics they portray. Michele Scott is a Casey radio talk host, the founder of a fast-growing wellness community, holistic counsellor and meditation teacher, with a side line of numerology, and she is here today to talk to us about how our house numbers have different energies.  1. So what is numerology? 2. How do we work out how to get our house number to a single digit?      a). How do we work out a house number if we live in a unit? Like say 2/53 Smith Street or 53A Smith Street? 3. Does the house number mean that it attracts certain people to it, or is it more about the energy the house creates within the people who live there? 4. How is that different to the personal year numbers? How can we understand the cycles in numerology that help us welcome in new beginnings and let go of old experiences? 5. So what does a number 1 house mean? 6. What does a number 2 house mean? 7. What does a number 3 house mean? 8. What does a number 4 house mean? 9. What does a number 5 house mean? 10. What does a number 6 house mean? 11. What does a number 7 house mean? 12. What does a number 8 house mean? 13. What dos a number 9 house mean? 14. Do the numbers 11 and 22 mean that the house has special qualities?   Michele Scott can be contacted via the website: https://ourwellnesscommunity.com.au/michele-scott-numerologist   Need Copywriting?

This week we're bringing you an episode from one of our DarkCast Network friends: Hands Off My Podcast. Host Jasmine Castillo covers crimes against underserved communities. This episode tells the story of Colten Pratt, a missing Indigenous man from Winnipeg, Canada. Colten's last confirmed sighting was on November 6, 2015, and his family has been fighting ever since to get his name out there and for people with information to come forward. DISAPPEARANCE: Police previously said Pratt was last seen leaving the Marlborough Hotel on Smith Street at 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 6. The family says Pratt was in a bar at the Marlborough Hotel in downtown Winnipeg on the night he disappeared and may have gone to another hotel with the woman in the photo. Pratt apparently used his cell phone to send a photo of himself to his mother on the night he disappeared. Family members say that the phone was found downtown. Now the family is trying to identify the woman who also appears in that photo as she may have clues to Pratt's whereabouts.“We always have hope that he's going to walk in the door, but holding that hope is what makes this never go away for us.” - Colten's MomIF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION:Winnipeg Police Service | 204-986-6222 | https://www.winnipeg.ca/police/Missing Kids Canada | 1-866-543-8477 | https://missingkids.ca/en/ANONYMOUS:Jasmine Castillo, Podcaster | 903-883-6103 | https://www.facebook.com/handsoffmypodcastYou can leave a message through FB messenger, and I will relay it to Colten's FamilyFind us everywhere: https://linktr.ee/attwgpodGet episodes early and ad-free on Patreon: https://patreon.com/attwgpodMerch store: https://www.andthentheyweregone.com/merch-storeFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blog: https://andthentheyweregone.com/blogLooking for dinner ideas?

In our humble estimation, the food Marc St. Jacques and his team serve at Bar Bête, is some of the very best not just in Brooklyn, but in New York City, especially in such a relatively casual bistro setting and at a relatively gentle price point. Marc recently opened what's shaping up as an American answer to Bar Bête, Ruthie's, just a block up Smith Street in Cobble Hill. The new restaurant has undergone a few significant tweaks in just its first few months; in his conversation with Andrew, Marc opens up not just about his Canadian roots and culinary training, but also about launching a new restaurant, acknowledging and correcting mistakes, and the challenge of getting the word out if you don't have a PR firm or social-media manager. He also discusses the workplace culture that's helped Bar Bête retain many of its original employees since opening three years ago. Andrew Talks to Chefs is a fully independent podcast and no longer affiliated with our former host network; please visit and bookmark our official website for all show updates, blog posts, personal and virtual appearances, and related news.  photo by Evan Sung

I'm OK. Actually, I'm more than OK. These days, my heart feels full. My light feels bright. Really bright. I feel generally happy. I feel hopeful. I feel capable. But 10 months ago, this wasn't the case. My light felt dim. On January 31, I called my best friend after collapsing onto my kitchen floor beside myself because a bunch of pans fell out from the cabinet. It wasn't about the pans. It was me. I felt stuck. So stuck. Incapable of getting out of my own way. Blank. I'd sit at my computer for hours but nothing would get done. All of the strategies I've been using for years to help me feel good in my body felt as though they were failing me. I knew something wasn't right. ... and I was right. On February 25, I was told by a physician in a small office on Smith Street that I was depressed. Ten months later, I'm finally ready to talk about it. My choice to go on medication. My experiences having hard conversations. Showing up when it felt almost impossible. What it felt like to ask for help. And most importantly: Finding my joy again. Why now? Because I'm in a place or homeostasis. I feel ready. I know that despite how hard this hurdle was in the moment, I am so much better for it. My hope has always been to help others feel less alone on their own individual wellness journey. And today? I pray my story, live in the feed now, does just that. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 157.

For Ivy Mix, it all started with an outsized bar tab in Guatemala … and a stint spent smuggling mezcal across the border. Today, she is one of the most celebrated bartenders in the country. Co-owner and head bartender of the Latin-inspired Leyenda on Smith Street, Mix is also the co-founder of Speed Rack, an all-female bartending competition designed to highlight up-and-coming women in the cocktail industry that has raised more than $1 million for breast cancer research over the past decade. She is also an author—“Spirits of Latin America” came out just as the pandemic was hitting full swing—and as of this year, the co-owner of Fiasco!, a bottle shop in Crown Heights with an emphasis on female, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ producers.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: hello@bkmag.com Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

Smith Street in Collingwood was named the Coolest Street In The World by a bunch of white people who work for TimeOut. I went through the list, and turns out I'm actually cooler than all of them. Who knew?! Crazy! Also I bought three jackets today.

TimeOut has named the coolest streets in the world and Melbourne's Smith Street has taken the top prize. Karyn crosses to a bar on Smith Street as the city comes out of lockdown for it's first night on the town in weeks.

Babylonia Fitzroy, on their website and at their entrance on Smith Street, invites you to “enter into enchantment”. Owners Prawin John Peter and Geoffrey Sage have created their own little oasis down in Fitzroy, complete with a lush outdoor garden courtyard and waterfall wall feature and a cosy front dining room with green leather banquettes, cream-painted brick walls and antique Turkish lampshades. It’s lovely by day and magical by night. They have shisha, belly dancing, cocktails, and of course, beautiful Middle Eastern food cooked by Vishal Rawal. Vishal loves cooking. It was such a pleasure to listen to the way he describes the food he makes, combining spices from his Indian heritage with the Middle Eastern dishes he has discovered and loves. You would absolutely want to work with Vishal because he is a hands-on chef; in amongst the pans at service and washing up at the end. For Vishal, team-work is vital and making diners happy, his goal. I was hanging off his every word and I reckon, now that the Melbourne days are becoming slightly darker and more chilly, this is a place you can warm your soul.

House numbers play a subconscious role in how we choose the house that is right for us. Each number resonates a certain vibration that rings true to the people who live there.  Numerology explains that. Today, for a bit of fun, we are going to talk to an expert numerologist and go through all the different house numbers and see what characteristics they portray. Michele Scott is a Casey radio talk host, the founder of a fast-growing wellness community, holistic counsellor and meditation teacher, with a side line of numerology, and she is here today to talk to us about how our house numbers have different energies.  1. So what is numerology? 2. How do we work out how to get our house number to a single digit?      a). How do we work out a house number if we live in a unit? Like say 2/53 Smith Street or 53A Smith Street? 3. Does the house number mean that it attracts certain people to it, or is it more about the energy the house creates within the people who live there? 4. How is that different to the personal year numbers? How can we understand the cycles in numerology that help us welcome in new beginnings and let go of old experiences? 5. So what does a number 1 house mean? 6. What does a number 2 house mean? 7. What does a number 3 house mean? 8. What does a number 4 house mean? 9. What does a number 5 house mean? 10. What does a number 6 house mean? 11. What does a number 7 house mean? 12. What does a number 8 house mean? 13. What dos a number 9 house mean? 14. Do the numbers 11 and 22 mean that the house has special qualities?   Offer: Real Estate Right Listeners can sign up for a complimentary introduction to 'Numerology Personal Year Numbers' and learn about their own Personal Year Number and what it means for them in 2021!

Networking comes easy to some of us, but for others it’s like going through hell every time someone asks, “why do you do?” To be good at it takes practice in these areas: Knowing how to introduce yourself and your business Knowing how to actively listen to others Following-up with new contacts after the event For a digital marketer, I do a lot of networking in person. That’s because it’s still the most effective way I’ve found to secure high-value clients who want to stick around for the long haul. If you sell low-cost products and services in high volumes, digital marketing can be a great way to get bigger scale and reach more people for impulsive purchases. But being in a room with people who are interested in what you do, is by far the best way to connect, build rapport and start a great relationship with a new client.Knowing how to introduce yourself and your businessThis is probably the part that feels the hardest to those who consider themselves to be introverts. You are probably even saying to yourself right now, “what the heck am I meant to say to someone who I don’t know without sounding like an idiot?”There are a few formulas for introducing yourself and lightly pitching your business that doesn’t sound too salesy.I like to use the elevator pitch method. First, you introduce your name and the name of your business, then you mention a common problem that people have that your business solves. Finally, you tell them what kind of client or customer that you’re after.Let’s say that your name is Carolyn and you have a catering business. Your introduction could be like this:I’m Carolyn, my business is called Eating Joy. You know how getting someone into cater an event can feel a bit like you have no idea what you’re gonna get or how much it’s gonna cost until you go through a long sales pitch from a caterer? I solve that by making sure that all my packages and pricing is clear and easy to understand on my website, and you can book catering without even having to speak to anyone. And that tends to suit personal assistants who just want to get the job done and even wedding planners who are way too busy organising everything else to be obsessing about every bread roll from a catering company.See how simple that seemed? The formula is:1. My name is…2. My business is called…3. You know how…4. I solve this by…5. My ideal client is…You can express each of these differently, but keeping that order makes sense and leaves a great first impression of a business owner who really knows their market. And even if the person you’re introducing yourself to doesn’t need your services, they’re already imagining the people they know who could use your services.Knowing how to actively listen to othersYou might have heard of the term, “active listening.” But what exactly is it? It’s most easily described as listening and letting the other person know you are listening. So you might listen to what someone is saying and repeat back some of what they said to confirm that you heard it correctly.  Nodding your head at the same time as you’re listening also expresses to the other person that you are taking in what they’re saying. The idea is to let the other person know you haven’t drifted off, and that you’re understanding them clearly.My own experience has shown me that I have better relationships and conversion of sales from discovery calls when I show active listening. Not only because the client feels listened to. But also because my quote later contains everything that they wanted, meaning that they also feel a level of trust when it comes to dealing with me. After all, if I’ve listened to them before they are more likely to trust me to listen to them again if something goes wrong in the future.Following-up with new contacts after the eventFew clients are ever going to sign on the dotted line at a networking event. That’s not really what the event is for. Presenting a solution and furthering the relationship is what happened after the event. The best time to do that is the very next business day. Why? Because that first impression you made is still fresh in their minds. Your pitch is fresh in their memory. And they actually expect it. After all, if they are a business owner, they are probably there for the same reason as you - to find new business opportunities. So what does your follow-up contain? And how do you do it?I’ve personally found that a phone call is too pushy and feels like you’re taking a wrecking ball to someone’s day and forcing your way through the door. None of us enjoys having our day interrupted by some guy desperate to grab a coffee so that they can hard sell you their next big thing. But an email or instant message on LinkedIn or even Instagram can come as a surprise, or even delight someone who wasn’t even expecting you to follow up with them (because let’s face it, this is probably the one part of the formula that gets forgotten the most!)In your email, layout the following:1. A mention of it being a pleasure to meet them at the event.2. Mention something personal that might have been discussed3. Mention something about their business that you’d like to know more about4. Mention something that they may have shown interest in about your business during your conversation5. Suggest a time and day to meet up for a chat, and a length of time to meet for6. Again mention that it was a pleasure to meet them and that you look forward to catching up.Here’s an example:Hi Paul,Was great to meet you at the Networking Drinks last night. I hope you managed to get back in time to watch that new episode of Wandavision with the kids.I was interested in what you were saying about how your business helps train not for profits in software packages as I have worked with a few not for profits myself and it would be good to know exactly the kind of organisations I could refer to you.I noticed you were also interested in the stuff I’m doing with the health sector, so thought there might be a chance to cross-refer some work to each other.Let’s grab a coffee before work on Thursday. I work in the city as well, so how about we make it at 8 am for a quick 20-minute chat at George’s Cafe on Smith Street? You mentioned that you often go there, so thought it would be a good place to meet.Again, it was great to meet you. Hope to catch you on Thursday morning.Of course, Paul is under no obligation to meet you before work at George’s Cafe. But by putting the schedule and location out there, Paul doesn’t have to arrange anything. And it also gives him space to perhaps suggest another time of day. He’ll be more willing to work with you because you let him know to only expect a short 20-minute chat, so he’s not too worried about how it might mess with his day.Be that personI know that I admire those people who seem to be able to network with ease, make new contacts quickly and have a system in place that means that they follow up with everyone they met. And honestly, when they follow up with me, I tend to feel quite special. It’s like they’re telling me that I’m a nice guy who made a great first impression. And who doesn’t like their ego stroked a bit? So imagine the impression you will leave if you be that person at your next networking event?Want to know more about how to do better a small business?

Pooja Bavishi knew she wanted to be in the dessert business, but she never envisioned herself as an ice cream entrepreneur. Then one year, during her annual Friendsgiving celebration, she broke out an ice cream maker her parents had given her and made two ice creams: ginger and star anise. Her friends raved and Pooja knew it was her a-ha moment. Fast forward: Pooja’s Malai ice cream is a growing brand with national distribution through Goldbelly and its own scoop shop in Brooklyn. Malai specializes in global flavors with a twist, many of which celebrate Pooja’s Indian heritage, such as Pumpkin Garam Masala Crumble, Jaggery with Tamarind Caramel, and Sweet Roti & Ghee.

And other release news Wild Turkey has announced that they are releasing a 17 year old bottled in bond under the Masters keep label. The Masters keep bottled and bond will be a limited release with approximately 14,400 bottles with a suggested retail price of $175. On the trade of new releases, the TTB has approved over 180,000 products over the last 12 months through April of 2020 which is about an increase of 5.1% over last year, around 8700 labels in beer there are around 42,000 products that were approved in the last 12 months. Wine 120,000 in spirits 17 point 4000 however, the one that has The biggest gainer is actually spirits because in beer, the last three months there was only 10 and a half thousand which is actually 21% less than last year. And wine there were there almost 30,000 over the last three months with is 22% less than last year, and then spirits by about 4.7 thousand over the last three months, which is an 11.3% increase over last year. Now let's talk about some industry news. Earlier this year the Indiana alcohol and tobacco commission denied total wine a liquor license in the state because it does not meet the state's residency minimum requirements. Under current state law, at least 60% of a company's common stock must be owned by people who have lived in Indiana for five years. In true total wine style. The retailer promptly filed lawsuit against the agency and bit based on the Supreme Court opinions on Granholm and total wine versus Tennessee. The district court's decision will grant to the retailer's preliminary injunction prohibiting state from enforcing its residency requirement. This is again one more Domino to fall where we will soon see more interstate commerce law start lifting. And for today's podcast, what can you say? sitting down with the nose, it's always a treat Fred and Freddy note are about as genuine and as real as it comes in the show. It's gonna take a bunch of turns. We talk about the Fred Dino distillery legend, little book blending. And we asked Fred No, catch this one. If he's ready to retire. I think you might be shocked at his answer, and we're not going to give it away. All right, so Joe from barrel bourbon wants you to know that it's gotten a whole lot easier to get their unique cat strength whiskies from around the world. Just visit barrel bourbon, calm today, and click the Buy Now button. Up next we got Fred minich with above the char, so continue to stay safe and enjoy the show. 4:52 I'm Fred Minnick. And this is above the char Oh, I opened my email with excitement when I saw that headline, new welder single barrel. Oh boy have we been waiting on this one? Have we known about it for so long and wanted to see that press release and see the price on and how it would be distributed and where? how we could get it. Oh, I couldn't wait to read about it. It was a few paragraphs long. And you know it said MSRP of 4999. Now, listen, I love weather. I love weather weather is probably I think the most successful product line and all of bourbon you got a special reserve allocated? Well our 107 antique allocated well a 12 year old allocated well our foolproof allocated, William LaRue Weller super allocated and every single one of those over the course of my career has had 90 points or higher from me and they're all typically quite delicious and those that aren't supremely delicious are better than Pretty much just about everything else in their category. So it's it's a great line of whiskey and Buffalo Trace does such an amazing job there whiskies so good. But the fact of the matter is, as soon as that gets into stores, that MSRP of 4999 will be shot all to hell by household retailers who want to mark it up for 100% by flippers who go in and buy a bottle and find somebody on the internet Who will pay two $300 for it. I know there's no easy way to do this. And I know Buffalo Trace really, really does hope that you you the bourbon fan can be that one person who gets it for 4999 and they think that this is the way to keep everybody engaged and hope that that price keeps them coming back for more. But we got to be realistic. These SRP s For whiskey, that's so great. So great. They're just they're just not. They're just not there. I would love to be able to pay $50 for this whiskey, I really would. But the fact of the matter is, I would be willing to pay far more. And I don't know this. I don't know this. And the reason why I say the reason to say I'd be willing to I'd love to buy it at that SRP. Don't get me wrong. But I wonder if if they raise the SRP, just enough to cartel the retailers from increasing it from 4999 to 100. Or if it was just enough to cut into the profit margins of a flipper. I wonder if that would stop some of it. Now, I don't know it's all based on consumer behavior. And right now we're all acting very differently. So maybe this is the one time because of the virus, maybe this is the one time we will actually see a suggested retail price of a Weller be just that on the shelf. And you know, if there's anything good come from a pandemic, which few and far between, maybe that's at least one positive we can take out of it. Now, not even that it's that positive, because still, we're in a friggin pandemic. And that sucks. But I do hope that you can find it on the shelf at your local retailer for 4999. And if you do find one of those, if there's two bottles there, grab both of them. Call me and I'll get the other one from you. And that's this week's above the char. Hey, I've got some great news. I'm so excited about this while the pandemic has taken away 100% of my live events, I mean, bourbon and beyond gone, all these private tastings I've had gone. I now have a way to book me for private tastings. Go to Fred MiniK Topeka dot live. That's Fred MiniK dot Topeka dot live and you You can book me for a private tasting. I've also got a regular Lecture Series setup, called bourbon revealed. The history myths and scams. So if you wanna learn about bourbon scams, go check it out. But that's this week's above the char Until next week, cheers. 9:21 Welcome back to episode of bourbon pursuit, the official podcast of bourbon. Kinney and Ryan headed down to Claremont, Kentucky today, sitting in an office that we've we've been familiar with before, we had an opportunity to sit with this master distiller one previous time on the podcast, but now we got him and his son on here, the next in line, hopefully to take over the throne. But, you know, this is also an opportunity that first time we've had one of these people on the guests or on on the podcast, but you've also had a history with one of our guests as well, too. 9:51 I guess you said yeah, we were. Well, we play football together basketball. went to the same high school. I'm a little older, he's probably more mature than I 10:01 wouldn't say 10:02 but yeah I was good sharing some funny stories about football and stuff so now I'm happy to see Friday It's been a while so I always forget out great the view as to when we come here like I mean when Do y'all ever just walk out you're like damn you know oh amazing but 10:19 sit on the front porch a lot. Yeah, I just want to get away from emails Squadron sit. Yeah, marinate. I see what's going on. Because when the sun shining and it's 10:27 nice. Yeah, so 10:29 super camera row, you'll see a lot of photos or just random sunsets or sunrises here just because you know, sometimes you come in and you just kind of takes your breath because like you say, sometimes you take it for granted even Oh, now you know being here every day. 10:42 Well, yeah, when I grew up here, you drive to 45 Volvo and you like, Don't even think twice about Bernheim forest or anything now I'm like looking at it's like it's this magical place. Go see the 10:51 giants. 10:55 So you've heard their voices now. So today on the show, we have Fred and Freddie no master distiller And the in training, if you will to be taken over there one day of Jim Beam. So fellas again, Fred, welcome back, Freddie. Glad to have you on back. Yeah. So yeah, I kind of want to talk about that view a little bit more too because I think it's something that is kind of wrong. You kind of put it the best way to kind of like takes your breath away a little bit. You know, you probably it's one of those things that it might be in your backyard. You only think about it, you know, even being in Louisville. everybody's like, Oh, we think a slugger museum and like, I've probably been there since I was to grade school. Almost like you just don't think about it when it's in your backyard. But it's it's awesome to finally like come up here and you said probably after that day, you just kind of go out there. Pour soft glass and kick it in the rock or something like that. 11:43 Absolutely. It's perfect spot and I want to set up my office up here. As I 11:48 hit that watering hole, you know, after hours. 11:51 I used to be in the basement with no windows where 11:54 maybe they figured they'd kept me in jail long enough. It was time to turn me loose. 11:58 Yes. Let you see the light When did when did that happen? One of the we're like we're because so anybody that's unfamiliar with the grounds, the visitor centers. 12:07 The caddy corner to this bigger White House that you see over here. Where was the when did the move happen? Well, in 2012, we opened the steel house, and our Chief Marketing Officer at the time, I thought that I should be closer to the visitors because he'd saw my interaction with people just walking around. And he said, we need to get your work closer to the folks that are coming out of season. Why don't we put your office in the beam house, which is kind of ironic. Baker beam, my cousin gave me a picture of me in the same room where I am where my office is, when I was two years old, sitting in my dad's lap with my mom. So it was kind of he said, You're coming home full circle, and I'll come right back to where I was when I was two years old. And actually my dad sits just about where that easy chair was Booker was sitting in and we have here real close and being Baker actually lived here. This house he was the last beam family member and we turned it into offices and conference room upstairs. So in 2012 mobs came from down below the hill to the top of the hill. So 13:11 my vote would have been the knob Creek house, you know, to like get away from everyone get a 13:16 nice view when they when they redid the house up there. Yeah, I saw be my office. I said we'll never find you. 13:24 You're on down. 13:25 That's the point. Yeah, 13:26 well, so I guess I don't really know about the knob Creek house. So where is the knob Creek couser. I'm assuming it's by knob Creek, but 13:32 no, actually, it's on the property here at Claremont. And it's kind of funny how we acquired it. We went into it. It was owned by the everbank family, which owned the Cadillac Dealer in Louisville back when Jim Beam was was still running the distillery and I guess they had signed a some kind of agreement that we could utilize that water source. There's a lake back there. Use that water source when we needed it for distillation purposes and somewhere that had gotten lost and so in the was it early 90s I think is like 92 or 93. We ended up buying this property to gain access to the water. And then through purchasing it we actually found out that we already had right of use of the water. So we didn't nearly need the property after all, but the knob Creek team put up some money to redo the house. The house was kind of falling down, because like I said, we were there for just the water. And now it's kind of turned into kind of a little getaway place. We've got up on the hillside on the other Hill, we're on one Hill. If you go back down to planting up on the other side, 14:33 on Airbnb 14:40 it was the White House on Yeah, they're on. They're on Airbnb. So it's a pretty cool place. It's got a nice Lake there in the back. It's up, as we say kind of up in the holler. So there's not much. Not much going on up there. Dad's kind of got a little funny story about some people that stayed it's kind of good. I want her to hear this. I want her to complaint, you know and the whole time as we let Customers are coming in to purchase barrels or you know just coming to visit the client to stay there it's a three bedroom house and there was a group from New York bar owners and went up and visited them and they got him settled in and live next morning and came to the office as How was it? I don't know man sir. is too dark and too quiet. I 15:22 guess if you come from man had like good like sound machines have their 15:26 sleep in New York they used to yeah horns and he has a discerns and then up there there's no streetlights Yeah, so I mean you know the dark when the sun goes down, it's dark. I said well, we could had a lot of fun with him. We just snuck up burned picked on the wind. It's funny say the banjo in the background or something. 15:46 Really get them scared, 15:47 right? Fair enough as it was it sounded like but 15:50 you know, I'll have to read the review on Airbnb. Great place Lake but to quiet. 15:56 Three and a half, three and a half star 16:00 So the other thing I want to talk about the property alone, I mean, the bourbon boom is still growing. You all are still building warehouses. I mean, I used to drive by here going to Bardstown quite a bit in the past year, and you would be able to see there was you could see the skeleton growing outside of the warehouse. That was you could just see going down towards Bardstown. What are you all seeing right now with the growth in regards of like, are you able to still acquire more property around you? Or is it just kind of like hey, we've just got to make use of what we have right now. 16:29 We're making use of what we have but we're always looking with burn arm fours burner neighbor we're kind of you know, there's no way we're gonna get put warehouses over there but we're looking for joining property we can find any for possible growth in the future 16:45 with promise there's no flat ground here. There really 16:47 isn't a lot of waiting to get young. 16:49 I saw Yeah, I saw the you know, they're knocking out some limestone up there. Does that for another warehouse sir. 16:56 That's actually where the Fred B no craft distillery is gonna go. That call the new distillery is going to be going there we're getting some dirt work moving. But you know his point of Burnham actually they bought some land behind us here as well. So we're kind of surrounded on on two sides by Burnham which I mean you know all their conservation work so it's great for us as for our watershed to be able to have such great neighbors but it does from time to time kinda with no I mean there's just no land really available around us it's all kind of you know, bought up or housing has kind of come around a little bit as well. But luckily we do have a little bit of space at Boston where we can continue to put some new warehouses so all is good for now it beam we'll see how it goes in the future because you know, land is a very valuable commodity if we need to keep expanding warehouses. 17:43 I know it's harder one of the things to actually plan out if somebody was in the land or like Okay, now we're making pay top dollars, right? 17:49 real bad, right? Yeah. 17:51 Oh, yeah. That's running here. We want it Yeah. 17:54 Nobody cared about this stuff. for 20 years now they want the this land. 17:58 Well, it is funny even you know, we talk About the price of land around here and we're like, oh man, but the people in California, New York, they're like, what you pay? You pay? What? For? What? Yeah. 18:08 13,000 an acre. It sounds 18:11 crazy. Yeah, that sounds it sounds too cheap. They're like, yeah, they pay that in a mortgage for one month or something like that was some of the places some, so it kind of talks about about the Fred Urbino distillery, like what's what's the grand plans for it? You know, what's the what's the idea for it? 18:26 Yeah, I guess I'll kind of start on that one. It was an idea that I had had, I guess really, as as I was working on little book, and really getting into kind of product development. I noticed that you know, with blending, there's so many different aspects that you can go into, and drive different flavor through bringing these different streams together. And so as I was actually sharing the first batch of little book, coincidentally at my grandmother's bereavement, actually, our CEO would come down and we just chat and you know, after it was over, and he says anything on your mind. I said, you know, I'd really like to have a small distillery where we could do some experimentation, whether it be through mash bill through operating parameters, different barrel lengths, things like that on a smaller on a smaller scale. And so I let him taste a little book as kind of a teaser there to say, Hey, you know, this is kind of some of the things we could maybe come up with. And so that's kind of how it got going. And it's kind of evolved over time as it's been probably about a four year process of us getting kind of locked into what a where we want it down there at the bottom of the hill now. And then kind of what what it was going to serve its purpose and so we're going to be pulling into Booker's and bakers production. And kind of basically anything that is in our small batch or super premium category will be made in this distillery once we get it up and going, but it's also going to serve as kind of a playground as he said a couple of times for myself and some of our r&d team to really get in there. And, and for me, it's a lot about Learning about our current whisky even, you know, having the opportunity to get in there and put, you know, new probes and things like that, as you expand distilleries, a lot of times your your app or experimentation kind of goes to the wayside. And it's more about production needs, 20:15 and that and consistency, and I think that 20:17 you're exactly right quality and consistency. And so being able to kind of step back, almost kind of start at a smaller scale and be inefficient on purpose to where we can 20:28 actually screw up. Yes, right. And your work, you know, 20:32 you know, and that's kind of how I pitched it as we kind of got into some of the meetings was Hey, you know, I could make some of these adjustments in the distillery today, but when you all get a phone call and see the amount of gallons that I've, you know, made an adjustment just to see what would happen, whether it'd be a good or a bad thing you know, 20:48 know that all right, this 20:48 one thing quite turn out right? We have to scrap it. What 20:51 exactly so given us a good opportunity to be able to explore a lot further as as we try to look to expand the American whiskey agree 21:00 that was actually just kind of answered my next question because I was about to ask like, Why couldn't you just experiment with something else at this? And then you just said it's basically because of the larger production. So if you want to change a different ratio of the corn to the rye or anything like that, then you're not everything. Oh, yeah, you're kind of stuck with it for the next x to the X amount of years. Right? 21:19 You're exactly right. I think a lot of it comes down to having that smaller batch size to be able to do some of those things, whether it's tweaking the grain, or even, you know, we have a lot of unique vessels in our distillation system. We utilize some of them, we take some of them offline for some of our products. But as you say, it is today's time if I want to do a just that, you know, for Booker's, we bypass a retention tank. If I wanted to bypass the retention take in something else, essentially, I haven't been making Booker's it's an experiment. And we're pretty tight on still time. As you know, bourbon is just can't make enough of it. So really, those experiments can can be counterproductive, even if it do you do. Hit on Something good, you know, because you're missing regular production to do these things. Yeah. 22:03 So Fred, what do you think about that? Are you like, I think it's not broke, don't screw it up. 22:08 What are you doing? Either you have to my dad, he was always tinkering with stuff. Yeah, over to Boston plant over there, you know, in the book or no plant. You know, it was funny watching him, you know, Chicago folks would come down, they always visited Claremont. This is where the conference rooms were, this is where the bottling was. So over there and he always kind of called them in Siberia. I can do whatever I want to do. And the people from the house of knowledge as he used to call it, they didn't know what I was doing so he could he could tweak things and do things like Freddie's talking, and they never knew so he could make something and ease it right in and try different things. And nobody you know, ever knew but now everything is so allocated and steel time is so tight because you know, in the 70s they shut the Boston plan down so you know, they didn't really need the Liquid as much as we do today. Every hour is money big time. We need whatever we're making there. Now Freddie can play and do some stuff and that's when he took the ball and ran with it. There's a lot of people been trying to get this craft distillery for several years. But when he brought it up to Matt Shattuck, our former CEO, Matt jumped on it immediately. Then he goes back to as I called it, the house of knowledge and said, we would like to do this and all of a sudden, all this interest became Okay, we're gonna do it. You know, 23:32 Freddie, where did you get the interest for blended whiskies? What was that? What draw drew you to that? 23:38 It's kind of crazy. I've thought about it probably 1000 over 1000 times with like, when I like it came to me. I don't remember talking about it. Now I don't need I was gonna say I was gonna ask you to blend in but 23:52 we won't talk to one 23:58 whatever. You can find it the Time, right? 24:01 No, you know, I guess in reality just through learning in the distillery, you know, I don't recall if it was even before I came to the distillery, but I know as I had an internship, right as I was probably about a year and a half before I was finishing up College, where I went around to each department in the distillery or in the facility, not just the distillery, they're bottling and everything shipping. And it was kind of during that time that the the idea came to me because you know, I had had a beat in my head we use corn, rye and malted barley for Jim Beam. So from a very young kid, I knew those three grains were what made the liquid of Jim Beam. But so as I got into distilling and learning, I just kind of took me to if you took corn, whiskey rye whiskey and malt whiskey, individually and then blended them to those mash bill percentages. My thoughts were at four years old, what it tastes like Jim Beam or what it tastes like something not even close to bourbon, even though you're utilizing the same grains and so we're That's where it kind of started thing. And so at the end of that internship went back to school. I just remember thinking about that and thinking, I'm not gonna ask anybody this question. So I don't feel like a dumb man. Because I didn't know you know, I mean, I was like, is this a stupid question? The hell? I wouldn't know. Right? So I got a chance later to do an internship with our r&d team. And really, really, it was about me getting in there and learning their processes and how they affect our our day to day business. And they kind of pitched to me to come up with a couple of prototype liquids while I was there. One of them I don't really like to talk about, but it's kind of funny. Let's Let's hear it. Okay. I will go on and bring it out. The best part about it listen to these things are things that just no lighter. Yeah, right. So I tell it from time to time, but not too much. But so they said we want you to before you go back to the plant, I want you to kind of act as an r&d product developer, and pitch to us two different prototype liquids. And they gave me a couple of rules. One of them could be a bourbon or a whiskey. And the other one could not be. So I couldn't just do to you know, I couldn't just go get a six year old and a nine year old and say, Oh, this is two new whiskies that aren't out on the market. And then one of them because I had been working with flavoring, you know, we at Pinnacle vodka was very popular at that time. So we were working on a lot of different flavors in that aspect. So a lot of my time was working with them as well learning what they do. So they had pitched it as one of them could be a bourbon, one of them couldn't. And one of them needed to have some type of flavoring to it. So I went to work on which also makes sense because even like the apple and everything like that they're very popular absolute drinks out there for a lot of the consumers. Absolutely. So I, you know, me being me, I guess I wanted to knock out both of those rules on one so I could focus on the other and do exactly what I wanted. 26:50 Fred is this is this, just another shortcut that he's just taken? Is that what this is I get to go 26:58 back a long road versus Short road he's gonna take it which is that's good. It was much like his grandfather. I see a lot of booger in Freddy. It's a It's amazing. So you know, as a kid I liked Hawaiian Punch juicy red juice. Oh, I think everybody loved 27:12 it. Yeah. 27:14 But so i thought you know, we go to the beach every year for vacation, I thought if I could develop a liquid that I could just sip on the rocks or even if you just put it in a cooler and chilled it and just drink it neat. You know, I like fruity cocktails on the beach from time to time. It's nice and nice and warm out. So I thought I'm going to create this. I called it rum punch and it was going to be juicy red juice flavored 27:37 romaine. I thought you're gonna say push up. 27:40 Close, but not quite. It's a Howard's down drink. Yeah. So I went to work on that. And dad was there. This is where it was interesting. So as I'm getting ready, do my presentation. They're like, Oh, we invited your dad and I think even the plant manager to come see your presentation because I was presenting the sounds like great. Not only did I work on Something with flavors and kind of rum. They invited my dad to taste the same thing. But so that one that one wasn't very good. It didn't taste anything like Hawaiian Punch juicy red juice. And I wouldn't I don't know that anybody's even sipped I've still got the sample bottle at home. I don't know if anybody's even tried it since I 28:19 since I made it. What did it turn out to be like? What did it actually taste like? 28:22 It didn't taste it kind of tastes like fruit punch a little bit. Just a boozy fruit. It was kind of a boozy fruit punch 28:32 wasn't before your time like now the ready to drink category is booming right now so maybe it's just a few years too early 28:38 to revisit exactly one of our marketing guys gives me some some shit I guess he'll say you know because he talks about a little bit he's like your next products going to be that that room punch I promise you we're gonna make sure that's the next probably you and i t shirt. Don't give him any more. I got plenty on his own. But so that's kind of I thought, you know, got that one out of the way. I will Walking around up there to the lab and I seen some samples of four year old corn whiskey. Obviously we had four year old rye whiskey. And that's kind of where that thought really sparked in my head was I'm gonna try this blend that I have been thinking about, that hadn't really talked to anybody about. And so that's kind of how it started. I created what I call it was Jim being blended. And it was a four year old corn whiskey blended with a four year old rye whiskey and a four year old malt whiskey blended back to the percentage, the Jim Beam Asheville. It wasn't very good either. It was very corn forward, you know, it's organic, right? In theory that Yeah, early and today I was excited. And, you know, to be dabbling in blending. I already had a good idea, you know, with the mash bill percentages, that I was going to do the certain percentages. So it was a little bit simpler than that. And then some of my blending has become as I've worked on little book, but it really opened my eyes because that one wasn't that great. But I tweaked it a little bit as I was in the lecture. Just to see if there was any differences as you change and that's really what sparked my interest in blending was getting in there and, and traveling something that I had kind of had in my head and was really honestly a little worried to share it because I thought it might be a stupid question, you know, but I kind of come to learn that there's there's not a lot of stupid questions sometimes. The most simple question can lead you to some great things. What's her 30:21 what's kinda like the hardest part about blending that you've really found out? Like, is it just trying something you're like, it's gonna work I'll get a bunch of wasted product like what's what's the hardest part you figured out about blending so far? 30:31 I guess the for me the hardest part is, or I guess the most challenging would be, you know, if you've got four liquids and you put them at 25% each, by doubling up on one or you know, doubling a little bit, not doubling but adding a little bit more say 10% more of another and dropping percentages. It's not as apples to apples as the flavor being closer to the original one stream. As those liquids kind of mingled together. They really take on different For an identity, and I think that's where I thought blending, you know, if if I like this at 20%, if I add 23%, and I'm looking to get a, say a longer finish, and I know the other two liquids I'm using or three liquids I'm using have a shorter finish. You know, sometimes you think by adding more of the one that is giving the attributes, you think it actually throws the whole blend out of balance, and has negative aspects of it. The one good thing is you get to taste a lot of samples. And when you're blending, as I say, with with straight whiskies or straight spirits that that are phenomenal on their own, it's, it's kind of hard to say that it's a bad blend, it's just maybe not the exact direction you want to go. So I get a taste a lot of good samples. But I think the challenging part is, when you have an idea or you're trying to hit on something, whether it be like I said, a longer finish or maybe a little more aroma on the nose. Getting to those places from where you are is a lot more challenging than just maybe adding a couple more drops of this or that and 31:58 go ahead I was gonna say After you come up with the kind of your blend and it's like nail, you're like this is awesome in the tube. But then like, does that always translate to a bigger batch you know, Are there times when they get bigger like this did not turn out like they always tell us every barrel is a little bit different 32:13 it is you know, and I think we do a really good job after I've gotten to a prototype in my my test tube there, we'll go out and get some more samples of different barrels from the same lots that I'll be utilizing for a little book or whatever we're working on, just to make sure that because when we're doing a small blend, you could go get one barrel of each liquid, and you could blend for months because you know, it's just one barrel. So a lot of liquids there and you're only blending in a lot of times, maybe 3753 or 750 ml sizes, so there's a lot of whiskey. So going back and then picking different barrels from that same area or same date that it was distilled, just to make sure it's hitting those profiles. So before I finalize, we make sure that the liquids are going to be variable Similar. And then of course, at the end, if when we're dumping for bottling knock on wood, it hasn't happened yet. But for the first three little books, each of them was was very similar and aligned with the profile that I was looking for. But we'll see how that continues to go because we do keep reserved barrels just think I never tried to use every single barrel because if you want to make a little tweak, and you've already dumped every barrel, you're kind of kind of pigeon holed there. So hopefully, like I said, knock on wood that our process continues to go as it does. But as you said it every barrel is a little bit different No matter if they're side by Saturday and totally different warehouses. So it's, it's that's kind of where the art comes into it a lot, for sure. And so Fred, part of this is, you know, what was your kind of like past blending experience? I mean, is it if you try to recreate something that Freddie's doing here, have you been focused on like, production operation and stuff like that, rather than sitting here and saying, like, okay, let's start blending a lot of different products to see if we can make something new. Well, we you know, we mingled a lot is funny. We don't blend we mingle when Freddie got into the blending has no that was always a curse word in bourbon. Yes. You know until a little book, you know, he really crawls the path that got people thinking about blending in bourbon because, you know, when you say blended in this state, you start thinking about great neutral spirits and colors and flavors, which that's not bourbon. But when we had the Suntory acquisition, I was tasked and it was actually after Freddie had done his first version of little book to work with Cindy the chief Blender from Suntory to bring east and west together. So we actually blended and created the product Legion, which it was essentially was doing the same thing dad did, we're finishing bourbon in secondary barrels and then taking those fluids and putting them together. So that's where we kind of dip my toes in, in the blending but we were tasked For the from the CEO of Suntory. And that's what they wanted us to do to bring the two cultures together. And it was a learning experience for me. First we had to learn to be able to understand each other are 35:15 very, very different. You have a translator between you too, 35:18 like no, we used to, I guess our eyes when we tasted, you can look at each other's eyes and tell he speaks much better English than I do Japanese. 35:29 So mostly it was Cindy trying to figure out what I was saying. And then sometimes when we get on conference calls, I didn't have a clue what it was okay, whatever you say Sanjay and he was sent samples, and we would get together whenever he was here in the States. or whenever I was in Japan, we would sit and just taste, taste, taste, taste, taste, and it was a it was a learning experience for me, but I kind of saw what Freddie did with his little book because the variant just a little bit more of this and a little bit less than that. It can change it dramatically. Also, the mingling in the tank, just because it tastes like this today, it doesn't mean it's gonna taste like that tomorrow because we did sign with Legion we would taste and then the next day we taste it was wait a minute didn't taste the same. So the mingling together after you blended the fluids, so we've got tanks that we built specially for this product down here and it's got a slow row agitation in it. So that mix it up and we don't just mix it, blend it and bottle it we make sure it sits in this tank in the tank never goes dry. Some of the techniques that Cinzia uses in Japan, which over here for four, we fill the tank with liquid, we ran it dry and then we came back and did it again. We never left heels as we called it in there and dumped it on top of them. 36:52 I mean is that the same thing as considering like the selection method, but usually people call it 36:57 in regards to that maybe a little bit but we don't let it go. Lately driving a little bit left and he's dumping on top, so it's as all new and we had to train our operators here at the plant because they weren't used to that kind of technique on production. So it was a learning curve for all of us here in Kentucky and I know it was a learning curve for Cinzia in Japan because he'd never played with Bourbons before, he was amazed the temperature here and the finishing, how quick bourbon will take on the flavor from say, red wine barrel, or Sherry cask. You know, he was thinking maybe two summers after one, we'd already picked up flavors that he was ready for. So kinda. It was like, a big learning curve just like Freddie's learning with he is, we learned a lot for this Legion. And so it's been it's been fun to watch and to get involved even late in my career to get to do a little blending and play with it. And it makes me appreciate more what Fred has been doing, because I understand it's not just dumping things together. A graduated cylinder and saying, well, I want to 20% of the 30% of that. In loans, your numbers add up to 100. And you're good, not. That's not how it works, you know, it's trial and error. And then what strength Do you bottle at? I mean, there's a lot of variables that you can change a lot by just a little bit of water maybe or your finishing times. It was a, it was a great, 38:24 great experience for me. I just realized, I've been saying it wrong the whole entire time. I always said legend, right. So Legion now now and I believe I'm starting to say, I don't 38:32 know if that's a 38:34 word or not. 38:36 It's coming from the Gospel of you right now. So that's what I'm gonna talk about the 38:40 gospel of Fred. 38:43 I sent you down some dark paths. 38:48 So gonna also talk about the time commitment that went into it, because I mean, you just said that there were times when either you know he was coming here. You're going to Japan your mailing and shipping samples back and forth. Like what was the I'm assuming it was a at least had been over a year or two ago. Somebody said, Hey, we're gonna go ahead and do this. But how long did it really take to actually start from concept to finalization? There are more craft distilleries popping up around the country now more than ever before. So how do you find the best stories and the best flavors? Well, rack house whiskey club is a whiskey of the Month Club, and they're on a mission to uncover the best flavors and stories that craft distilleries across the US have to offer rack houses box shipped out every two months to 39 states across the US and rack houses April box there featuring a distillery that mixes Seattle craft, Texas heritage and Scottish know how rack house whiskey club is shipping out to whiskies from two bar spirits located near downtown Seattle, including their straight bourbon, go to a rack house whiskey club calm to check it out and try some for yourself.

Discover great strategies to start out in real estate even when you don’t have credit available and just meager cash to invest, learn about what syndication is in Real Estate, and how to leverage this strategy, and find out the tips and steps on how to start investing in the United States.   Resources/Links https://www.reedgoossens.com Summary Reed Goossens is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, author, public speaker, and all-round good bloke (as they say in Australia :-)) In 2012, he quit his job in Australia and moved half-way across the globe to the USS. With limited funds, no credit, and no network he started investing in US real estate. He now controls over $120 million worth of multi-family real estate in his portfolio. Today on Property Profits Real Estate Podcast, find out how Reed, an Aussie mate made it into real estate investing in the US within just a year of relocating, the strategies he followed, and the tips and tricks that he can share for someone who wants to dive into this investing opportunity. Topics Covered: 01:12 – How did that move from Australia to the US happen 03:03 –  Digging right into multi-family properties the moment he relocated to the states 05:57 – Starting it out in real estate with not much capital, just building relationships with banks and lenders 06:37 – What is syndication in Real Estate 09:33 – Common mistakes in multi-family investing that have new investors screwing up 11:34 – One superpower that he has that makes him so good at  real estate 13:18 – How to get out of your own fear of getting started  17:32 Talking all about his book entitled “Investing in the US: The Ultimate Guide to US Real Estate” Key Takeaways: “I think the big thing is the first step you need to do is understand what market and what you want to invest in.” – Reed Goossens “Choose a market where you may have a bit of competitive advantage. Maybe you’ve got a relative there or a friend there or someone who can share information that you, because you live in Canada, don’t necessarily know that being South of Smith Street is bad or being North of Smith street is bad.” – Reed Goossens.  “Once you’ve chosen a market or a couple of markets, I always encourage people to underwrite a minimum of 50 deals in any one market because that is a great desktop study on getting to know the market without actually being boots on the ground. And then you get to the second, and the third thing and then reaching out to local brokers, local partners.” – Reed Goossens “If you can partner with anyone, boots on the ground, I highly recommend doing it because it will then incentivize the person who’s on the ground. They’re part of the deal that can have you both, you’ve got shared interests. And so, you don’t have to necessarily worry if it’s just your deal that’s thousands of kilometers away and sort of set it and forget it, and no one’s really looking over it.” – Reed Goossens “And I think, as entrepreneurs in this world, things are drastically and rapidly changing, we’ve really got to be like a surfer, you know, like ride the wave of change and be okay with change and not just have the blinkers on and go down the path of this being, well-traveled, and try and blaze your own path if you can and do things a little differently.” – Reed Goossens Connect with Reed Goossens: reedgoossens.com Facebook LinkedIn Instagram Connect with Dave Dubeau: Property Profits Podcast www.davedubeau.com www.investorattractiondemo.com Facebook LinkedIn Enjoyed the Podcast?

Visit http://JohnBlakeAudio.com to Learn How to DOUBLE Your Enquiry-to-Sale Conversion with The Lead Flow You Already Have. In this week’s podcast, Episode 30, we’re going to talk about psycho-phobic words.  Words are powerful. The words we use all have connotations. In sales, it's the same. There are all these words that we often use as salespeople and they have negative connotations. If you use enough of these, you end up with a situation where someone has got all these red flags being triggered in their brain. I'm going to share with you some words and the equivalent that you should replace them with.  So, the first one is ‘cost’. Why would I suggest that you don't use the word cost? No one wants to pay the cost. Everyone wants to keep costs down. If you look at the neuro-association with the word ‘cost’, there are all of these different connotations that people had for it. So instead of saying cost, one of the best things you can say is: ‘valued at’ The next one is ‘price’. There are sorts of different ways that you can present price. One of the best things you can use is the number. So rather than saying ‘$4,599’, one of the best ways you can say that is ‘four, five, nine, nine’. It sounds like a low number. This is all happening on a subconscious level, but people make buying decisions for reasons that would blow your mind. And it can make the difference between someone buying from you or not buying from you.  So another word is ‘cancel’. So rather than saying, “Oh, I just had someone cancel an appointment with me.” One of the best things that you can say there is, “I just had somebody to reschedule.” I've been in business now for over 30 years. I've never had anyone ‘cancel an appointment’ with me. I've had lots of people ‘reschedule’. But you can say the reasons. When you're talking to someone and you say, “Oh, I've had a client cancel.” They're going to be thinking, “Why did that person cancel?” So instead of ‘cancel’, ‘reschedule a contract’. So again, ‘contract’ sounds like someone's being locked in. One of the best things that you can do is refer to that particular document as an ‘agreement’ because they are agreeing with you conceptually, and the paperwork simply confirms that agreement.  Another one is ‘sign’. So rather than getting somebody to sign something, just get them to ‘okay’. If I could get you to ‘okay’ the agreement or if I could just get your ‘okay’, then there it is.  To note: these are making people's buying experience with you smoother and less clunky.  The next one is ‘sold’. Instead of saying, “Oh yeah, we sold him a house on Smith Street.” It should be like: “Oh yay! We help them to move from their previous address to Smith Street.” If you're trying to catch up with someone, better not use the word ‘meeting’ because what's implied is that there's some kind of obligation and that they are going to be committed to something or obliged to do something. Rather than saying, “I want to organize a meeting,” say “It'd be great to organize a time to catch up.” It sounds a lot less confronting and less formal.  The next one is ‘following up’. What type of people ‘follow up’? Stereotypical pushy-type salespeople. We would be better to not sound like those people. Instead, say “I'm coming back to you,” or, “I thought I'd give you a call.”  Try and get rid of the word ‘proposal’. Why? Because, semantically, you know, the word means it’s not a done deal. It's something that hasn't happened yet. It hasn't been agreed to yet. If you are going to put together a document, you'd be better to call it a ‘fee outline’. You could also call it an ‘action plan’.  The next word you should not use is ‘honestly’. What's implied is that everything else that you’ve said is dishonest. Replace it with ‘quite frankly’ instead.  The other word to get rid of is the word ‘basically’. I would replace it with ‘essentially’, which lifts everything else that comes after it.  There are certainly some more words that I could add to that; but if you were to start with eliminating those from your sales vocabulary, I think that you will do very well.

Sarah Pettegree, aka the Pork Pie Queen, is the founder of the successful artisan savory pie business Bray’s Cottage Pork Pies. Based in Norfolk, England, she has elevated the classic pork pie by using local seasonal ingredients (she personally forages for wild garlic in spring) and by adjusting the traditional recipe to appeal to what she likes best...which just so happens to appeal to the modern palate, like omitting the squishy aspic jelly. [Good call, Sarah]. In this episode, Sarah tells me how and why she made the very conscious transition from management accounting to starting her own savory pie business. [Side note: savory pies are one of my favorite things about living in England. Why is this not a thing in the States?!] She talks about how she strategically determined how to position her company so that it could be a sustainable employment opportunity for her, and the importance of social media for her business in giving her access to others in the food industry all over the UK. Sarah is kind and passionate and just lovely. One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was when she compared herself and her fellow artisan friends in Norfolk to a group of twigs: when they’re together, they can’t be broken.

Podcast Darren Standish and Lisa B Lisa Today I was interviewed by Darren Standish from Property Prosperity and we spoke about how to choose a real estate agent. Some of the things I discussed was about marketing, about advertising and about negotiation.   The difference between advertising and marketing – Advertising is one small part of marketing. Advertising is say.. advertising a specific property – so it’s putting an ad in the paper about a particular property, it’s doing a flyer about a particular property, it’s a for sale sign out the front of a particular property. Now marketing is everything else.. Marketing is building your brand.. it’s marketing you.  Marketing is the strategy.. Who is your buyer? What can you do to attract them.. what can you do to keep YOU top of mind awareness. I hope you enjoy this podcast.   Darren: Welcome to this week’s edition of Property Secrets. The show where we speak to experts from around the country to give us an insider's guide to buying and selling and investing in real estate. I know a lot of people out there that want to know how to choose a good real estate agent - they know that an agent can make a massive difference but they’re not really sure how to choose the best real estate agents. What I’ve done, I’ve gone and got Lisa B to come and join us - she’s actually a real estate coach from The Real Estate Hotline. Thanks for joining us Lisa. Lisa: Thank you for having me,,,, and I was going to say I’m in the sunny Gold Coast but it’s not, it’s pouring rain. (Laughing). Darren: (Laughing). Fantastic. Well thanks for joining us, like I’ve said, a lot of people you know, know the difference a real estate agent can make but they sort of struggle to work it out.   All the agents seem like they do the same thing and obviously, you know, especially nowadays, people think ‘oh maybe I can just sell it myself’…. so….. I want you to get on and really talk about the difference between a good agent and a not so good agent. Before we get to that..  I suppose if you could give people a bit of your background - you’re obviously a real estate trainer and coach and you give advice to real estate agents.  Did you start out as a real estate agent or how did you learn your skills? Lisa:   Yes, I started in real estate when I was about 22 years old. I’m 49 now so, yes. A long time. I worked in real estate for about 18 months before I bought my own business. So in my early 20’s I had my own real estate office. And that was scary, that was something that I learnt very fast. I had that office and that was near Wollongong, - I had a franchise and my own name as the brand -  I had those for a long time, then I opened up another office in Sydney.  And it was something that, in my very first business, I knew the area very well.   People would come to us because of the marketing and the work that we did. And then when I opened up in Mosman, we didn’t know anybody. We didn’t know the area. It was the complete opposite of what I was used to. So I really had to create a really big presence very fast. To show our experience and our credibility and all that sort of thing and I really worked hard on building our online profile and our offline profile in that area. And from that, I had a lot of real estate agents that would ring me and say ‘How did you do this with your online marketing’, ‘How did you do that’ and ‘How did you do this with your video’. And so that was how I created my first online course for real estate agents, on marketing…. Online marketing and that sort of thing so…. I’ve written books on the subject. And now I’m a real estate coach on demand. So, I’ve done coaching for a long time and online marketing - all sorts of things. So… real estate agents can ring me anytime if they’re stuck with say a buyer and they can’t get a deal across the line. Or they’re trying to get a property signed up or a listing -  they can call. Anything real estate related or business related.  So that’s a bit of my background as far as, you know how I got into the profession. It’s just been something, that… I love real estate, you know. I think once you get into real estate it’s in your blood so, I just love it. I love everything about it. I loved being a real estate agent. I love helping people find their ideal home... Finding their dreams and making it their family home. So it’s something that I’ve always been proud to say I’m a real estate agent. And I always did my best as a real estate agent.  I was having a conversation with somebody yesterday about being a real estate agent and sometimes it is tough. And it’s like, when you go to bed every night - you have to think ‘Have I done my best?’ and you answer ‘Yes, I have’. You sleep well…. If you haven’t, you learn from it, and you sort of and work on what you can improve on. Real estate gets into your blood, it’s just something that yes….  I just love it. As far as choosing a good real estate agent goes, or a great real estate agent goes. For me If I was going to choose a real estate agent, I would probably, if I didn’t know somebody personally or if I hadn’t seen anybody before, I would do a lot of research online. Because if you’re just going to ring the local real estate office and you don’t know anyone personally…. You haven’t watched them online, or you don’t know anything about them, it’s really just a lucky dip.  You are just kind of putting your hand in and picking out who ever you get. So you might ring the local franchise and say, I want to sell my house. You might get the person that’s been in real estate for five minutes, you might get the person who’s been in real estate for five years or 40 years. You don’t really know who you are going to get. So to me, if I was going to choose a real estate agent, I would really research and find somebody who’s probably a bit high profile, somebody who’s a bit out there. They are marketing themselves and they’re marketing their office. Now from being online you can form the ‘like, know and trust factor’, so you can follow somebody for a little while and you can go - I actually like that person and I feel like I can trust them, you know the things they say -  You can relate to them. So it’s the ‘like, know and trust factor’.  And that’s something that you can really get online rather than just having the lucky dip approach….. SO the other thing that I would look at is…  have they got a track record in the area? If your property is say prestige property, have they got a track record in prestige property? So I would really research them and make sure that they’ve got the experience and qualifications. Now, when you choose a real estate agent, the things that I think you need a real estate agent for, is for negotiation and for marketing. So I would test the real estate agent in lots of different ways. In negotiation, I would be asking lots of different questions. Like, if they came into my house and they told me a price - i.e what my house was worth… I would want them to really sell me that price. OK? Why is it worth that price? I want you to tell me all the factors that come into it., I want you to prove to me that it’s THAT price.  One, because I want them to be able to prove it to the buyers - that it’s worth that price. I also want to see how they negotiate in that sort of thing as well. So even if it comes down to when they’re talking about their fee, or how well can they negotiate their own fee. If they’re just going to give in, they will probably give in on your asking price if you chose them…… so….. I would also, even go out with them and have a look at property as far as buying a property with them. Just to get them to show you some properties, go to open houses, and ask question, things like, what do you think of this property - what do you think it will sell for? What do you think it’s worth? Have you had any offers on it? See if they’re actually working for the seller or they’re working for the buyer. Okay because what you want…. When you’re selling your property, you want the agent to be working for you as a seller. If you’re buying a property, go with the one’s that are like that – the one that’s going to give the sellers money away. But if you’re a seller, you really want go with somebody that’s a top negotiator. So there are two things, negotiation and then the other one is marketing. And the other thing too, is when they come to your house, if they give you an appraisal or you go out with them as a buyer. How’s their follow up? Do they ring you up and say ‘what did you think of that property?’, ‘Would you consider making an offer on the property?’. Or if they have appraised your property….. What sort of follow up have they done for you? Do they drop you off a written appraisal? Do they ring you? Do they ask you how you are going? Do they try to give you something else?  Do they offer more comparable sales or let you know something that comes on the market? That’s a really big thing as well, because so many times you list with an agent and they don’t keep in contact – they don’t follow up. And that’s something that is so important. You want to get the feedback and all that sort of thing. So, I think that’s really important. So do you want me to go on in the marketing, side of things now? (Laughing). Darren: The things you are saying are really valid and obviously I have the same things too. And I’m glad you’re saying that, because obviously that’s the thing, a lot of people don’t realise what an agent’s job is. And I think to be honest, a lot of agents don’t even realise what an agent should be doing. I totally agree. I think there are two roles, marketing the property and negotiating the sale of the property. Lisa: Yes. Darren: I think everything else is almost irrelevant, you can get someone for $25 an hour that can hand out some flyers, and conduct open inspections or drive around to get contracts signed, paperwork etc.. But if your agent has skills in those two things, negotiation and marketing…  That’s most important. That’s the most important thing, because at the end of the day it’s going to result in tens of thousands of dollars extra in the sale price of your house. So that’s what’s really valuable. The agent… and that’s why their commission can become almost irrelevant as well, because…. if they’ve got those skills, they can add so much value to your property and if they are charging an extra thousand or two thousand dollars more than the other agent  that doesn’t have those skills, but they can make you an extra 20, 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars that could be the big difference. Lisa: Exactly, because if the agent is not negotiating a better price for you, then you might as well do it yourself. If you are a better negotiator, you might as well do it yourself. That’s why check their fees,  if you can negotiate better than them,  don’t choose them.  Sell it yourself. Go with somebody who is a negotiator. Somebody that has studied it..  and someone that knows what to do. That is a massive tip. A massive tip. (Laughing). Darren: There are people that come to me from out of state (and they don’t want me to be their real estate agent), They’ll say how do I choose between real estate agents?  I say… Ask them two questions…  Ask them whether they are going to reduce their commission and will they be willing to reduce the cost of marketing Lisa: Yes. Darren: Either of those… Then they are not the agents you want. If they can’t negotiate on their own fee….then what are they going to be like when it’s your house and they don’t really care. This is their money they’re willing to give away. Likewise with marketing, you’ve got to be willing to market your home..  Marketing makes such a difference to the sale price for a house.  If an agent doesn’t believe it’s important, then…. Lisa: Yes. Darren: Then, they are just going to take shortcuts. Lisa: There’s a question you can ask real estate agents as well. Do they understand the difference between advertising and marketing? Because advertising is putting an ad in the paper and just putting a property online. There’s so much more involved in marketing yourself. To market your office…. like you do your podcast. Videos that you do. That’s marketing yourself and your office and things like that. So advertising is just one small part of it.   I have for my coaching clients what I call the marketing umbrella or different ways of making the phone ring. If you’ve only got one or two ways of making the phone ring and that’s by putting an ad in the paper or an ad on the real estate portals. It’s not really the highest, you know…. if one of those sources stopped, you’ve lost all of your enquiry. So it’s really getting that enquiry from lots of different places and that’s a question to ask a real estate agents as well…. Is how do they advertise/market your property and how do they market themselves? And see what they say. What’s their brand like? What’s their brand promise? And as I said, if they’re a prestige agent, does their website reflect that? Does their marketing reflect that? Does their presentation reflect that? Is their brand consistent? And just check little things like their advertising. How is the advertising of their property for sale… Is it concise? Are there any typos? Is it well written?   Is it entertaining or is it boring? You want to go with somebody that’s got a little bit of flare with writing or copywriting. Darren: Sorry for interrupting. How would you describe….... a lot of people out there using the word marketing when they are talking about advertising. A lot of people would be thinking they’re the same thing, you know. Putting an advertisement in the paper, putting on the internet. What’s the difference between marketing and advertising in your view? Lisa: Okay, Well as I said advertising is just one little part of it. Going now to marketing. Marketing is like marketing yourself, so you’ve got your podcast, you do your videos. It might just be giving out pens and things like that with your name on it, things to create top of mind awareness. It’s following up with different marketing materials and things like that. And another thing I was going to say too is,  when you’re talking to a real estate agent, say if you’re particular property would be open to say the Chinese market. Or something like that. What strategies has that real estate agent got that would attract the Chinese market?  There might be different marketing skills for that.   How can they market to the Chinese?   Can they contact different agents?  Will they offer different platforms to market to the Chinese? Will they go on different programs? Whichever way that may be. Is the property close to a University or Hospital or something like that?  Or is it located close to a school that maybe you can put some notices on the notice board at the University or somewhere close buy – let people know that a house is coming up for sale in that area, or something like that. Or if it’s a block of land,  also contact the developers direct and things like that. Don’t just advertise and put and add in the paper or online. How will they actually go out and market that property and sell that property?   Will they contact people that are on their database before, rather than just putting an ad in the paper. Go and actually ring those people that have called before about different properties. Darren: So, would you say then, sorry. We’ll just say maybe then marketing is more of the strategy of selling the property. Lisa: Yes. Marketing is the whole thing… Advertising is for example just promoting your properties specifically.  An ad in the paper or just your ad on RealEstate.com. It’s everything relating to a particular property.  Flyers for that particular property.   Specific advertising. So marketing, examples of marketing is marketing yourself through a podcast, video marketing for your office, your team. Promoting all different things in your office and that might be…. I have for real estate agents, I call it the marketing umbrella. And some of the things that I’ve got -  is different ways of making the phone rings. So you know, newspaper, database, and all that sort of thing. And you’ve got letterbox drops, you’ve got flyers that you send out to absentee owners, so people that own property in the area but live elsewhere get to know you….. So that’s kind of like, you know.. you do something that’s different to what others do.. not just putting an ad in the paper. We’ve got thank you cards, you send thank you cards to people, you do editorials. When you sell a property to somebody,  you can do a nice bottle of wine with your label on it or something like that. That sits on their cupboard or their bar for people to look at. And say your photo frames with the sold sign on it with the people standing out on front of the house -   there’s a cap or a cup with your name on it. People do fridge magnets, I’m not a fan of fridge magnets - I’ve listed lots of properties from people where other agents had fridge magnets (laughing).  So it’s just all sorts of different things to get your name out there. Things that are different to the other agents. And as I’ve said it’s offline and online marketing - so actually if your listeners are interested, my new book is out, it’s called “Secret Agents” and on my website it’s called www.TheRealEstateHotline.com.au and I’m actually giving away a free audio copy of the book at the moment. So that’s all about real estate marketing so it goes into the whole thing. It goes into offline marketing/ online marketing. How to get the phone to ring and all that sort of thing. It’s written for real estate agents but it can actually can be put into any business model. That’s something that your listeners can just opt in and get the book for free and that’s everything real estate marketing.   Darren: Thanks for that opportunity. And I’m sure some of you will get in touch…. Lisa: Yes Darren: So obviously this show is called Property Secrets.  So I want to be able to dig in a little bit deeper. So obviously we’ve been having a chat about trying to find the best real estate agent and we’ve talked a little bit about their negotiating skills, marketing and some of the questions we might ask. We’ve thought about what goes on from the outside. Is there a particular secret or something that you can think of from your perspective…. That you would know straight away that says.. that’s the better agent and the not so good agent and then we can maybe learn from it as well? Lisa: To me Darren, I really just think it’s that  ‘like, know and trust factor’. I really think to really be comfortable with the agent. You know…who you’re going to choose, because I’ve spoken to people before that have said ‘Look, I’d like to go with that agent, because you know I really like them and I trust them. But this agent seems a lot more gung ho.  and I don’t think he tells the truth all the time but I think he might get me a better deal’. Go with your gut feeling, really sort of feel who you feel comfortable with it’s a big decision in choosing a real estate agent and you’ve got to make the right decision. You’ve got to be comfortable with them. They’re dealing with a lot of money. It’s your biggest asset most of the time. And you’ve really got to trust that person. So I think really the trust and that’s something researching online - it’s something that is really going to help you get a good idea of who that person is. What their values are, whether they align with you and as I’ve said… you know whether they are really getting out there and promoting themselves, their office, their properties for sale . Really going the extra mile in being a buyer magnet, because that’s who you really want to go to. Somebody that the buyers are calling.  They say ‘I’ve got to go with Darren because he’s always out there, and he’s everywhere I go,  that’s where he is.’ And really that to me is the agent that you have got to go with.   Darren: It’s really, when you think about it, the agent has a lot of control over this whole process. It’s a little bit like black box, obviously, hopefully if you have a good agent they should be communicating with you but really you’re handing over your house to them and saying please do a good job and get me the most amount of money you can. And then you sort of sit back on the sidelines and just have to watch from the outside, So really, if you don’t trust and feel confident they going to do the right thing by you then, how are you going to know. Lisa: Exactly. It’s too scary, it’s too scary. Yes. Just make sure you like them, you trust them and that’s everything to me. Darren: The other thing. I find with real estate - buying real estate. selling real estate. People don’t necessarily realise that it’s real money. You know. They don’t realise that, you know, going that extra time to the buyer and gets maybe and extra $10,000. Or the fact that they market slightly better or negotiate better and that might be an extra . 10 or 20 or 30.  You know if they can make an extra $40,000.   How long would it take you to save $40,000?  Lisa: Yes. Darren: For a lot of people, that might be years and years and years -  It might be 10 years to save $40,000. So the fact you’ve, you know, someone that you can trust them enough to do the right thing to get the extra few cents. People drive across town to use their shopper dockets to save a few cents on fuel. Lisa: That’s right. Exactly.   Darren: This happens to me a lots… I get an offer and I go back to the owner and I say we’re not going to accept that - we’re going to go back’. They’re like ‘no, no’. And I’m like ‘No, we’re going back. ‘No, don’t go back’. And I’m like ‘but it’s real money’. Like if I can get you an extra thousand dollars…… that’s a thousand dollars. It’s better for you, my job is to get you the most amount of money and that’s the thing. That’s one thing I’m constantly telling people, it’s like ‘this is real money you’re talking here. It’s not make believe’. Lisa: People get so blasé - like you say spending extra dollars here or  there. And that’s again in the negotiation. Go with the agent that does that. Ask them.. How did your last negotiations go, or speak to some of their previous sellers. That’s part of marketing as well. To have video testimonials. The more video testimonials you can get on your website that people can watch ….and you can show people and say… say they are living in Smith Street. Well here’s actually a seller that I sold for in Smith Street and this is their video testimonial and this is what happened with them. That’s just gold. Darren: And the other thing too... is people obviously… well you might have been aware that there a negative perception about real estate agents from some people and so the thing is. Lisa: Noooooo. Darren: It doesn’t have to be confrontational. You don’t have to be, you were mentioning you found someone that you trust but you think this other guy is a dodgey….  you think he might be able to get you a higher price.. In reality you don’t have to be dodgy you don’t have to scam people, you don’t have to try and rip people off to get the highest price. Lisa: Yes. Darren: Just say hey ‘The more you offer the more chance you’ve got of getting it’. You know I’ve got other offers and you’ll be honest and upfront with them. And people sort of feel like it has to be this, you know competing against each other and win-lose scenario. But I don’t feel like it has to be like that. Lisa: No. I think you know, we’ve got to be proud to be real estate agents.  We’ve really got to be proud of our profession and what we do and it’s like anything – there’s bad fish in every pond (laughing). Darren: (Laughing). Lisa: You can just do your best and represent you and represent your company. And that’s all that you can do. Yes. You just do your best.  Darren: Fantastic. That’s great advice. And it’s good that we sort of break it down to really with just dealing with people at the end of the day. That’s what real estate is. Selling a property. Buying a property. It’s all about dealing with people. So if you find someone you can engage with and you can trust,  that’s probably the most important thing I think. Definitely good advice.  People who may want to get in touch with you… to find out a little bit more about some of your trainings or maybe they are still struggling trying to work out which agent to go with. What’s the best way that people can get in touch with you. Lisa: Sure. My website is www.TheRealEstateHotline.com.au and that’s pretty easy. And that ‘s got all of my contact details. And as I said my free audio book.., I think, that would be really helpful for a lot of people as well, just to see how you can market properties in different ways and that sort of things.  Darren: And we’ll be able to find that on the website or Google your name and find it somewhere. Lisa: Yes. My website.. and yes… I’m everywhere online.  http:www.TheRealEstateHotline.com.au Darren: Alright. Thank you for that. Lisa: (Laughing). Darren: Thanks for sharing today. I’m sure our listeners have learned a lot obviously. I found it really interesting as well. I really appreciate your time. Thanks for joining us. Lisa: Thanks Darren.
