E225: Avoid the Career Do-Over - Transition Rule #5 When it comes to transitioning from the military to the business world, you want to avoid the career do-over. Many officers define a successful transition by landing that first post-military job. At Cameron-Brooks, we define the transition not by accepting a job. We define a successful transition as 3-4 years down the road when you've transitioned from a military leader into a business leader with a track record of results. That's why Rule #5 in our Career Transition Playbook is: Avoid the Career Do-Over. Joining me is Lauren Kordzik, one of our Principals on the client side of our business, joined me to discuss the Career Do-Overs as she spends her time working with JMOs in our program at the Conference and in the Follow-Up Process. Lauren works closely with our client companies and has deep insight into what companies are looking for in high-performing JMOs. She also spends most of her time between conferences working with our Alumni who have successfully transitioned out, so she has credible and valuable insights and data points into personal and professional life post military. Before we get into Rule 5 - the final rule in the Cameron-Brooks JMO Transition Rules to business - let's recap the Cameron-Brooks JMO Transition Rules 1-4: 1. E218: Transition Rule #1 – Don't Do It Alone 2. E219: Transition Rule #2 – Develop an Investment Mindset 3. E220: Transition Rule #3 – Build a Non-Traditional Career Search Strategy 4. E223: Transition Rule #4 – Embrace the Growth Mindset: Past Success ≠ Future Success What Is a Career Do-Over? A career do-over happens when someone pivots out of a role too quickly - sometimes within 6 to 12 months - because the position didn't meet expectations, or one feels underemployed. Essentially, it's a restart that often stems from a misaligned strategy, impatience, or a misunderstanding of how to grow a business career. Lauren put it best during a recent conversation: “The transition doesn't end when you accept the job. It starts there. The honeymoon period fades quickly, and that's when the real learning and growth begins.” Why Job-Hopping Hurts Your Trajectory We often use the analogy of a wedding cake. A successful business career builds layer upon layer - roles, projects, mentors, results. But frequent job changes early in a career leave you with cupcakes instead of a tiered cake. There's no foundation to support long-term growth. Lauren offered another great metaphor: Candyland. Every job change sends you back to the beginning of the gameboard. You're not progressing; you're just starting over again and again. By the time someone hits their early 30s, they may have worked at 3 or 4 companies with little to show in terms of upward mobility or leadership progression. Another analogy that I often use is taking early withdrawals from a retirement account. When you take early withdrawals, you can be penalized and have to pay taxes. If this were your career, you don't just lose what you withdraw, but you also interrupt the compounding growth in your career, resulting in losses over time. In both cases, short-term decisions can sabotage long-term success and limit the full potential of your investment. You also lose momentum, making it harder to build the kind of upward trajectory that leads to greater responsibility, leadership, and future opportunity. Focus on Intrinsic Motivators Over Extrinsic Rewards One of the biggest drivers of do-overs? Choosing a job based solely on extrinsic factors—money, location, title. While those are important, they shouldn't outweigh intrinsic factors like culture fit, learning opportunities, and how well the role aligns with your natural talents. Lauren referenced Stephen Covey's “Big rocks in the jar" analogy. You must define what matters to you most (The Big Rocks), before starting your search. Ask yourself: Will this role allow me to grow?

Are You Standing on Your Leadership Head? Picture this: You're wondering why your leadership feels like swimming upstream while wearing concrete boots. The answer might be simpler (and more embarrassing) than you think. You've taken three of the most powerful leadership principles and turned them completely backwards. The Leadership Reality Check Drawing from Stephen Covey's timeless Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, this episode exposes how emerging leaders – especially those caught in middle management limbo – are unknowingly sabotaging their own success. We're talking about smart, capable people who are doing everything "right" but getting everything wrong. The Three Habits That Make or Break Leaders 1. Be Proactive (Not Predictive) Stop trying to guess what your boss wants and start owning your responses Self-awareness beats people-pleasing every single time The game-changing difference between responding and reacting 2. Begin with the End in Mind (Not Written in Stone) Your vision is a compass, not commandments carved in granite Why followers need to see your destination, not just your daily detours The trust-killing mistake leaders make when changing course 3. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood (Not to Be Right) The family dinner table debate trap that destroys workplace relationships Why "tell me more" are the three most powerful words in leadership How buying permission to be heard transforms adversaries into collaborators The Bottom Line Leadership isn't about having all the answers – it's about asking better questions, owning your choices, and creating space for others to contribute their genius. When you flip these three habits right-side up, you stop swimming upstream and start riding the current toward leadership success. Tune In For: The "compass not commandments" approach to vision setting A simple phrase that opens communication floodgates Why self-awareness is the ultimate leadership superpower Real talk about middle management frustrations (looking at you, retail warriors) The trust equation that determines whether followers stick or split Ready to stop doing leadership upside down? Your team (and your sanity) will thank you.

The central theme of this discourse is the imperative nature of inquiry over assumption in our professional interactions. I emphasize the significance of asking questions, rather than presuming to know the thoughts and feelings of clients, colleagues, or escrow officers. Such assumptions often lead us astray, as they are mere constructs of our imagination, devoid of the reality we seek to comprehend. By fostering a culture of curiosity, we cultivate understanding and trust, thereby strengthening our relationships within the real estate domain. I implore you to embrace this practice, for it is through inquiry that we build connections, and through assumptions that we erect barriers.Engaging in a reflective discourse on the imperative of questioning rather than assuming, Bill Risser provides a thought-provoking examination of communication dynamics in the real estate industry. The episode illustrates how assumptions can lead to significant miscommunications, as we often craft narratives in our minds that do not align with reality. Risser posits that the courage to ask questions is fundamental not only to professional success but also to personal relationships. By invoking the wisdom of notable figures such as Don Miguel Ruiz and Stephen Covey, he reinforces the notion that understanding precedes being understood, a principle that is critical in navigating complex interactions within the real estate sector. The host adeptly weaves in cultural references, notably drawing parallels between his insights and the popular television series 'Ted Lasso.' By highlighting Ted's mantra of curiosity over judgment, Risser articulates a broader message about the necessity of empathy and inquiry in fostering trust. This thematic exploration culminates in a compelling argument for the transformative potential of questioning—both in terms of enhancing professional relationships and enriching personal interactions. Risser concludes with a clarion call for listeners to adopt this mindset, emphasizing that the simple act of asking questions can significantly alter the landscape of communication, ultimately leading to stronger connections and more fruitful outcomes in their professional endeavors.Takeaways: In the realm of real estate and interpersonal interactions, the imperative to ask questions supersedes the tendency to make assumptions, fostering clearer communication. Assumptions often lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, which can adversely affect relationships in both personal and professional spheres. The act of asking questions is a demonstration of humility and courage, acknowledging that one does not possess all the answers. Curiosity, as opposed to judgment, is a fundamental trait that enhances connections and builds trust among individuals. Engaging in dialogue with clients or colleagues about their true concerns is crucial for effective collaboration and relationship-building. The assertion that assumptions are the termites of relationships highlights the destructive nature of unverified beliefs in personal and professional interactions.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business host Troy Trewin interviews Kerry Boulton from Exit Strategy Group, who shares her incredible journey of buying a freight business doing $16M and growing it to $50M with the same 63 staff. Kerry reveals how she executed a strategic exit after seven years, then went on to build and sell multiple ventures. Now through The Exit Strategy Group, she mentors owners on being “always exit ready,” balancing business, financial, and personal goals. She discusses the power of systems, the Value Builder tool, and finding your “Alan Bond moment.” Kerry's story is a masterclass in scaling, cash flow, people, and creating true freedom.

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Kerry Boulton, the hardest thing in growing a small business is managing cash flow. Growth eats up cash faster than most owners expect, and many don't realize how easily they can run into a squeeze. She says you've got to keep a constant eye on cash, plan ahead, and understand that scaling up often means funding gaps you need to prepare for. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Kerry shares that her favorite business book is “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, which she says gave her a rock-solid foundation for both business and life. She also loves “The Great Game of Business” by Jack Stack for teaching how to build financial literacy and an ownership mindset in your team. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? For podcasts and learning resources, Kerry highly recommends “Built to Sell Radio” by John Warrillow, which dives into making your business more valuable and sellable. She also likes “Business Lunch” with Roland Frasier & Ryan Deiss, plus the Exit Planning Institute's podcast. And of course, she's a fan of Troy's Grow Small Business Podcast, which she appeared on. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? When it comes to tools, Kerry swears by the Value Builder System, which helps owners see their business through a buyer's eyes, score it across key value drivers, and figure out exactly where to improve to maximize value and exit readiness. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If she could give herself advice on day one of starting out in business, Kerry laughs and says she'd simply tell herself to “buckle up,” because it's going to be a hell of a ride—full of challenges, personal growth, and ultimately the chance to create freedom and live life on her own terms.

Episódio 109 É possível integrar os 7 Hábitos de Pessoas Altamente Eficazes com uma perspectiva cristã, focando na verdade das Escrituras e evitando o triunfalismo? Ao invés de buscar a eficácia apenas para benefício próprio, a abordagem cristã enfatiza a aplicação desses hábitos para glorificar a Deus e servir ao próximo, sempre com humildade e dependência da graça divina. Os 7 Hábitos de Pessoas Altamente Eficazes, de Stephen Covey, oferecem ferramentas valiosas para o desenvolvimento pessoal e interpessoal. No entanto, a aplicação desses hábitos pode ser enriquecida e aprimorada ao serem inseridos em um contexto cristão; tais como não usar a proatividade como forma de autopromoção, mas sim como um meio de servir a Deus e aos outros, reconhecendo que o sucesso é resultado da graça divina e do trabalho em equipe. Não usar a priorização como forma de competição, mas sim como um meio de servir a Deus com excelência, reconhecendo que a verdadeira importância está em agradá-Lo.

Retired U.S. Army three-star General Ray Palumbo is co-founder and senior partner of Venturi Solutions, having served 34 years leading conventional and special operations forces during peacetime and combat. A former 160th Squadron pilot and West Point graduate, he now serves on multiple boards and is passionate about supporting injured military veterans and Gold Star families.  In this episode, Ray discusses the critical distinction between leadership and generalship, explaining how generals must orchestrate multiple military capabilities while understanding how military power fits into broader national strategy.  He reveals how his humble beginnings in a Pennsylvania steel town, raised by educators and coaches, instilled the mental toughness and values that would serve him throughout his military career. Ray explores the transformative experience of joining the elite 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, where constant assessment and high standards created a culture of excellence that changed his life.  He breaks down his leadership pyramid model, emphasizing how successful organizations must establish unchanging values, cultivate culture that aligns values with behavior, build strategic capabilities, and communicate vision beyond immediate goals. Ray also addresses the complex challenge facing military veterans in today's polarized political environment, offering hope that stronger, more moderate leadership can bring the country back to "competing within the 40-yard lines."  For leaders transitioning from military to corporate environments, veterans feeling disillusioned with current discourse, and executives seeking to build values-based organizations, this episode provides powerful insights on authentic leadership, strategic thinking, and the importance of maximizing life's "scraps of time" for continuous growth. You can find episode 469 wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Ray Palumbo on A Leadership Pyramid Model   Key Takeaways [05:02] - Ray explains his grandparents owned Columbus Tavern in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, he grew up in a coal town, came from a family of educators and coaches, his dad was a high school coach who became principal, and all family members had to play sports which taught mental toughness, discipline, and academic excellence. [06:41] - Ray confirms that the mental toughness his dad instilled, being educators who demanded academic excellence, and learning to be a team player, win, and lose with dignity was definitely ingrained growing up. [07:32] - Ray advises to "hang tough" because "the pendulum swings," believes the political discourse is polarized, and thinks stronger moderate leadership will bring the country back to "fighting the game between the 40 yard lines instead of from end zone to end zone." [09:29] - Ray explains there are similarities between military and corporate leadership, it comes down to values, mentions the army values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, personal courage, and emphasizes that values must be lived, not just carried in your wallet or on dog tags. [14:22] - Ray distinguishes that military leadership focuses on mission above self with potential personal sacrifice, while corporate leadership focuses on company loyalty and profitability. Generalship involves manipulating multiple capabilities and understanding how the military fits into all elements of national power including diplomatic, information, economic, and financial elements. [19:55] - Ray describes running a Combined Joint Special Operations Task force in Afghanistan where night operations sometimes resulted in civilian casualties, creating information challenges at local, national, NATO, and global news cycle levels, noting they "didn't figure it out at first" but "got better at it as time went on." [23:53] - Ray recalls a two star general telling him "we are all benefited and limited by our experiences," explaining he came from special operations with high expectations and had to learn not to "outrun your headlights" when commanding conventional forces doing complex air assault operations in Germany. [26:20] - Ray mentions working for General McChrystal in JSOC and reading "The Speed of Trust" by Stephen Covey, emphasizing that "trust goes a long way on cold, dark nights" when you have no control but must believe someone will get you where you need to go. [29:14] - Ray describes his pyramid model: establish values as the foundation, cultivate culture that reflects those values, build strategy to achieve desired ends, and communicate vision constantly, emphasizing that leaders must establish organizational values while culture aligns those values to actual personal behavior. [33:31] - Ray believes stronger moderate political leadership is needed but has strong opinions against senior officers opining about the commander in chief because it creates dilemmas for current soldiers who must follow orders while also respecting their former commanders who criticize the president. [37:48] - Ray explains that families have "suffered enough" during military service, today's political discourse involves digging into personal history, and many feel they've "given a lot already" and prefer other ways to help rather than dragging families through political campaigns. [39:09] - Ray shares a story from West Point where General Maxwell Taylor spoke about taking advantage of "scraps of time" throughout life, explaining that instead of hanging out drinking beer, using those moments for reading, studying languages, or practicing skills will put you ahead of competitors over a lifetime. [41:15] And remember..."Humility and knowledge and poor clothes excel Pride and ignorance in costly attire." - William Penn   Quotable Quotes "We are all benefited and limited by our experiences." "You don't want to outrun your headlights at times." "When it comes to mission focus, military leadership is loyal to the Constitution and puts mission above yourself." "Generalship, in my view, to answer your question, finally, is understanding the nuance between management of military capabilities and how military, how the military fits into all the other elements of power at the national level." "We need stronger leadership that's more moderate." "I believe that organizations have to be successful organizations and successful leaders have to establish values of the corporation." "Culture is so important in my mind because what is culture? It's. It's aligning the corporate values, the base, to actual personal behavior, how they behave." "If you take advantage of your scraps of time throughout a lifetime, and all things being equal to your competitors, you're going to be ahead." "There's stuff you want to do because you have a bunch of tools on your tool belt. And then there's stuff you should do because the community, country, society, whatever, needs you to do those things, which is going to require sacrifice."   These are the books mentioned in this episode   Resources Mentioned The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

Every village and every community throughout human history has relied upon people who can facilitate conversations, allowing sacred truths to be passed along generations. In a modern world gripped by a process of massive transformation, this vital, ancient work now falls to coaches.That is the view of Bob Singha, a master coach who has spent 28 years helping people connect the day-to-day reality of their lives with the eternal teachings of their ancestral heritage. In conversation with Alex Swallow, Bob reflects on his evolution as a coach and as an elder, which he sees as a process of remembering rather than one of learning.Across decades of work with young people around the world, facing lives blighted by trauma and violence, Bob has found that communities everywhere face similar problems, and that the solutions to them lie in the deep wisdom of our ancestral memories.Using stories as medicine and as conveyors of wisdom, Bob helps people to remember something about themselves.In this conversation, Bob and Alex acknowledge the call being sounded for coaches who don't feel at home in the standard business models that commodify and separate us. They also illustrate the remarkable role coaches can play in connecting communities with the intelligence that gave birth to them.In this episode, Bob and Alex also talk about:- How studying something as if you're going to teach it leads to accelerated learning- Our connection with the sages, the rishis, the sadhus and fakirs who throughout history have integrated spiritual wisdom and worldly responsibilities- The power of the question: what are the whispers of your ancestors saying in this moment?- The relationship between the way we play games and the way we live our lives- A hilarious story that revealed to Bob at a young age the importance of language, and how we can use it to speak to both the temporary and the eternal.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Timothy Gallwey https://theinnergame.com/ - John Whitmore https://www.performanceconsultants.com/about-us/sir-john-whitmore/ - Tony Robbins https://www.tonyrobbins.com/- Stephen Covey on interdependence https://challengingcoaching.co.uk/stephen-covey-interdependence-the-deeper-facts/ - Spark Inside https://www.sparkinside.org/ - The Coaching Inn https://thecoachinginn.podbean.com/ - It Takes A Village https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llpz6bADkZU - Gladeana McMahon http://gladeanamcmahon.com/ - Anthony Eldridge Rogers https://uk.linkedin.com/in/anthonyeldridgerogers

Have you ever been caught in a conversation where you felt unheard or misunderstood? On this episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I'm exploring the transformative power of effective listening. With insights from Stephen Covey's timeless principle of seeking first to understand, and a revealing study from Zenger Folkman in Harvard Business Review, I uncover the real markers of great listening. It's not just about nodding silently; it's about engaging mindfully, channeling curiosity through thoughtful questions. These skills help us navigate today's polarized landscape and build bridges where there were none.Active listening is more than a skill; it's an art that can mend divides and strengthen connections. Drawing from my own experiences, I share how misplaced advice during an enthusiastic travel story highlighted the pitfalls of assuming rather than understanding. Empathy and emotional intelligence are key, especially in a tech-driven world where face-to-face interactions are rare. By being present, asking the right questions, and truly listening, we can foster more meaningful relationships and learn from disagreements. Tune in to this episode and discover how great listening can lead to a brighter, more connected future.

Have you ever paused to think about the areas of your life that might be slipping through the cracks? It's a common journey we all go through as we navigate this world, reprioritising and adjusting as things evolve.   In the sphere of life coaching, it's often emphasised that we need to pay attention to various parts of our lives to truly thrive. From finances and relationships to health, joy, and family, each aspect contributes to crafting a well-rounded existence.      Let's face it, it's all too easy to become hyper-focused on one area, sacrificing others along the way. Decisions about what we prioritise sculpt our life journey and outcomes. But how do we achieve balance, ensuring no part of our life is left neglected? That's the personal expedition each of us must embark on, deciding where to channel our life force and energy, understanding fully that every component impacts our future success and happiness. One insightful analogy, inspired by Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, is about "sharpening the saw." It's about maintaining readiness and support networks, so we're prepared for any situation, much like keeping a saw sharp to effectively cut wood. This rings especially true for workaholics who might overlook personal relationships, only realising their importance later on when those connections have faded. Today, I'm highlighting the importance of conducting a personal review of all aspects of life. Are your relationships flourishing, is your career on track, and are your finances aligned with your professional missions? Without regular introspection and attention, change won't come. And remember, "energy flows where attention goes." Neglect breeds stagnation, while attention fosters growth. Interestingly, I've observed how crucial it is to reignite our sense of play and fun, an element sometimes forgotten in adulthood. Watching children, their capacity for joy is infectious, reminding us that fun isn't just for kids. Regularly revisiting and enhancing this aspect can add a joyful spark to daily life—ask yourself daily: "Where did I have fun today, and how can I create more of it tomorrow?" When it comes to more structured areas, such as finances or relationships, thoughtful planning is required, but each can improve significantly with dedicated focus. So, here's my simple suggestion today: take a moment to assess where you stand across life's many dimensions. If you identify areas that need improvement, provide them with the necessary attention and time to flourish. And if you need any help with that, you know who to call. Always be well on the journey.      Life Passion & Business Podcast is about finding answers to life's big questions through weekly interviews with guest speakers.

“Bad habits are like a comfortable bed—easy to get into, but hard to get out of.” ~Jewish ProverbIntention, Data, and the Ingredients for Lasting Habit DevelopmentWe love science. We trust scientists.Why?Because they use data.They run experiments. They form hypotheses and make plans. They test, track, and refine.Here's the question most people never ask:If you love science so much, where's your behavioral data?Where's the record of your actions?Where's the feedback loop driving your growth?That's what this episode is about.ShareHabit development requires more than repetition.It requires intention. And intention needs a PLAN.This is where most habit models fall flat.The Habit Loop is descriptive, not prescriptive.It explains what happens once a habit exists, but not how to build one intentionally.That's where P.A.R.R. comes in—a proven, habit-building system aligned with the scientific method itself:Plan – Form your hypothesis: the habit, your MSC (Minimum Success Criteria), and target days.Act – Run the experiment: do the behavior as planned.Record – Track your results using 1s and 0s, and jot down notes.Reassess – Analyze your results: targets vs. actuals.If you're 85% or better, raise the bar for the next four-week tracking period.If not, revise and stay consistent.That's how you develop habit strength and automaticity.Unfortunately, the famed “Habit Loop” — cue, routine, reward — is not the answer.ShareHabit and Skill Development Require 3 Ingredients:There are three fundamental requirements to build a good habit or skill:Knowledge: You need to know what to do and why it matters.Capacity (Not skill): The late, great Stephen Covey taught that habit formation requires knowledge, skill, and desire—understandably so. However, upon closer examination, a key distinction emerges:Both intentional habits and skills, once fully formed, reside in the same part of the brain—the limbic structure.When something becomes automatic, it's no longer a “skill in development”—it's a capacity expressed repeatedly. That's why skill cannot be a prerequisite for habit formation. It's basic capacity that matters. Not skill.Desire: The most important. With genuine desire, knowledge, and capacity, will be found—or created. This is a public episode.

In The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey discusses a paradigm shift. A shift in how you think can change how you relate to others and yourself. It can affect your perspective and how you approach your relationships, communication, and self-awareness. How do your experiences influence your perspective on the world?The answer is in the question. Cheers!

Feeling exhausted on your growth journey? You're not alone. In this revealing episode, Reed and Jake unpack the counterintuitive truth that sustainable personal development requires strategic pauses, not just relentless pushing forward.We introduce "The Three R's" framework—a powerful diagnostic tool for anyone experiencing growth fatigue. First, we examine how Rest functions as legitimate self-leadership, not laziness. Physical sleep, emotional downtime, and mental disconnection aren't optional luxuries—they're essential practices that prevent burnout from choosing rest for you. As we explain, "If you feel like you have to work seven days a week to get everything done, working five or six days with intentional unplugging will actually help you accomplish more."Next, we explore Recreation (literally "re-creation") as a necessary component of sustained growth. We distinguish between activities that truly refresh you versus those that merely numb you—a critical difference that determines whether you're rebuilding your resources or simply escaping. What makes you feel alive again? Is it adventure, deep conversation, artistic expression, or something entirely different? The answer is highly individual and worth discovering.Finally, we discuss Retooling—the intentional sharpening of skills through courses, mentorships, and deliberate practice. "If you're too busy to improve, you're too busy to succeed," as Stephen Covey wisely noted. We share practical approaches to retooling in the real estate world, including the surprisingly generous culture of knowledge-sharing among competitors.Our challenge to you: Schedule 24 guilt-free hours of rest, do one thing that makes you feel truly alive, and invest in retooling this week. Your sustainable growth depends on it.Here's a tool to help you improve your professionalism NOW: go to https://areapro.com/rmg/ to get started with AreaPro and get ready for your business to boom! https://www.rmgagentpodcast.com/https://www.youtube.com/@RMGAgentPodcast/featured

Brian Alfaro is the Director of Investor Relations at Headway Capital, a Houston-based private equity firm managing over $500 million in assets.

Use my code JOHN at checkout for 10% off your ticket. Key Takeaways: Transitioned from single-family to multifamily investing after realizing the scale and sophistication better aligned with his goals. Investor relations is a long-term game focused on education, trust-building, and communication. Effective capital raising is more about listening to investor needs than pushing returns. Investors should ask more questions about risk, not just returns. Strong communication and transparency are crucial when working with passive investors.     Topics: From Restaurants to Real Estate 17-year background in restaurant operations before entering real estate in 2017. Started with the BRRRR strategy, but found single-family investing misaligned with his personality and long-term vision. Making the Jump to Multifamily Joined a multifamily mentorship in 2020 to scale smarter. Chose capital raising as his focus area, learning to nurture and educate investors. Why Multifamily Made More Sense Single-family was labor-intensive with low cash flow margins. Multifamily offered more scalability, better team collaboration, and higher ROI potential. Appreciated the abundance mindset and collaboration in multifamily circles compared to the scarcity mindset in single-family spaces. Investor Relations Demystified Focused on helping investors feel confident and informed through steady communication and trust-building. Building “know, like, trust” takes time—rarely an overnight process. Education-first mindset; avoids industry jargon to reduce confusion. Top Questions LPs Should Be Asking Investors often ask about returns but rarely probe into risks or past challenges. Brian encourages asking about capital calls, past losses, and how operators handled them. Transparency and accountability are key indicators of a trustworthy sponsor. Mistakes New Capital Raisers Make Being too transactional or too numbers-focused instead of building genuine relationships. Failing to understand investor goals—listening is more powerful than selling. Good investor relations = solving problems, not pitching products.    

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we engage with psychologists Dr. Christian van Nieuwerburgh and Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener to explore the concept of radical listening. We discuss why effective listening is challenging in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world and identify cultural and emotional barriers that hinder genuine communication. We'll also highlight how radical listening can transform personal and professional relationships by making others feel seen, valued, and heard through active curiosity and empathy. This episode serves as a call to action for listeners to cultivate deeper connections through intentional and empathetic listening practices. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Introduction to Radical Listening Christopher sets the stage by introducing his esteemed guests, Dr. Christian van Nieuwerburgh and Dr. Robert Biswas-Diener. He poses them a critical question: why do so many people struggle with listening effectively? This question serves as the foundation for a deep dive into the nuances of listening and its impact on human connection. Dr. van Nieuwerburgh begins by highlighting a paradox: despite being born with the ability to hear, many individuals fail to listen well. He attributes this to several factors: our current fast-paced modern lifestyles, technological distractions, and each person's internal emotional barriers. Dr. Biswas-Diener adds that cultural dynamics play a significant role in shaping our listening habits. In Western societies, individualism often leads to conversations becoming competitions for airtime. People frequently listen with the intent to respond rather than to understand, resulting in superficial interactions. This "waiting to talk" mentality is a significant barrier to genuine listening. The Importance of Curiosity Chistopher shares his personal journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of personal development in improving listening skills. He recalls a coach who taught him that what many people call listening is often just waiting for their turn to speak. This insight underscores the need for a shift in mindset. Dr. van Nieuwerburgh agrees and adds that a key aspect of radical listening is approaching conversations with curiosity. When individuals genuinely seek to understand others, they create a space for deeper connection. This involves asking them open-ended questions, avoiding assumptions, and practicing patience and letting the other person finish their thoughts without interruption. Cultural Influences on Listening The conversation shifts to the impact of technology and social media on listening habits. Christopher points out that many platforms prioritize self-promotion and broadcasting over genuine interaction. This environment fosters a culture of "me first," where individuals are more concerned with sharing their own experiences than engaging with others. Christopher also reflects on the teachings of Stephen Covey, who emphasized the importance of seeking first to understand before being understood. He contrasts this with the current trend of self-centered communication, where individuals prioritize their own narratives over listening to others. Dr. Biswas-Diener acknowledges this shift and highlights the need for a rebranding of listening practices to emphasize connection rather than mere comprehension.

Episode Description In today's energizing episode of The Daily Boost, Scott Smith unveils his simple yet powerful "5 R's" formula for sustainable energy and excitement. Perfect for busy people who feel constantly drained, Scott shares a repeatable pattern that challenges the unsustainable "go-go-go" mentality promoted by society. Drawing from personal experiences and coaching insights, he demonstrates how incorporating ritual, rest, rejuvenation, reactivation, and repetition into your daily routine can transform your productivity and well-being. With his trademark warmth and straightforward delivery, Scott offers practical wisdom that will help you maintain consistent energy levels while still accomplishing your goals—a refreshing alternative to burnout culture that promises lasting results. Featured Story Scott reveals how he developed his "5 R's" formula while trying to solve his own energy management challenges. Initially created for himself during periods when he felt he was "failing at the day," this system eventually became a powerful coaching tool that he's refined over years of client work. Scott compares his approach to Stephen Covey's concept of "sharpening the saw," illustrating how pausing to recharge—like stopping to charge the battery on his electric lawnmower—ultimately leads to greater productivity and enjoyment rather than pushing through exhaustion. Key Takeaways Success comes from performing ritualistic actions consistently every day Running at full speed constantly is not sustainable for long-term success Rest is essential for maintaining energy and excitement Rejuvenation allows your body and mind to recover properly Reactivation happens naturally after proper rest and rejuvenation The key is to repeat this cycle consistently until you achieve your goals Taking strategic breaks actually increases overall productivity Finding what works for you and doing it consistently leads to sustainable success Balance between ritual and variety is important for a fulfilling life Memorable Quotes "Your life will settle when you're ritualistic and do things every single day." "Running full out all the time is not sustainable. You got to stop and rest." "Stand up. Take a step. Repeat. Keep going until you get what you want." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify the ritualistic actions that lead to success in your life and commit to performing them consistently Incorporate strategic rest periods and rejuvenation into your routine instead of pushing through exhaustion Once recharged, reactivate with fresh energy and repeat the cycle until you achieve your goals Connect With Scott Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
