Tony Giordano is a top real estate agent, business consultant, renowned international speaker and owner of four successful businesses. He is a national and international best-selling author of the books 'the social agent,' which teaches clients, and sales professionals the correct ways to integrate online presence and grow their business. Tony is also passionate about helping others find success through his company, R.I.S.E. Coaching.Adam and Tony talk about overcoming adversity and why we should even welcome setbacks in life. Because extraordinary success doesn't come without a lot of failure. Tony even says, “I hope you fail so much in your life because that means you tried." Tony encourages listeners to not become the people who never try because they're afraid of failing—or who immediately quit after a setback. “You just have to be willing to get back up and take the hit.”Overcoming adversity begins with mindset. You must always have the mindset of being willing to accept setbacks. Having a positive mindset like that is what gets us through the setback. Tony also warns of the “naysayers” in our lives. Most people are afraid because they have people in their life who are always telling them they can't or shouldn't do something because it's too risky. When we let these voices live in our minds, they compete against that positive mindset we've worked so hard to cultivate. “Anyone who tells you you can't succeed in something is never anyone who has succeeded,” says Tony. He encourages us to surround ourselves with people who have succeeded and who will propel us toward our own success.Tony walks listeners through his method to overcoming adversity called the Five Rounds to Success. The same way a UFC or MMA fighter faces an opponent in the octagon, we face adversity in life. Size Up: How we're tested Mind Set: How we respond Accountability: How we learn Heart: How we overcome Finish: How we succeed and win Every day we get another opponent—or three.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, host Jeff Pfitzer speaks with Tony Giordano, a national speaker, author, and coach about moving from online presence to online influence. Tony is passionate about helping agents stay relevant today, tomorrow, and well into the future by understanding how to connect with social media. This conversation will change how you approach marketing yourself online. Episode Highlights: Tony shares how he entered the real estate business. He made his first million in the mortgage business at age 26. This business completely changed his life. Anything that has to do with the housing economy has no limit except yourself. He lost everything in the 2008-2009 crash. Within 30 days of becoming an agent he received a life-changing referral. Tony is online and he knows how to market himself. Do we market ourselves to our community? Are we giving back? Tony engaged Facebook and Instagram very early on. He Googled all the biggest agents in his surrounding area. For every 20 that he Googled, 19/20 had gorgeous websites. These websites told stories. Websites get listings. Websites are the modern-day first impression. The majority of sales people are being taught online brand awareness, social media marketing, online lead generation by technology professionals. He gives examples of how technology professionals give misguided advice on how to use social media. In addition to your Facebook business page, a real estate agent or a salesperson from any industry, should have a minimum of 2,000 friends on their personal friend page of Facebook also. Be careful who you’re learning from. Are your mentors still in the trenches doing and seeing what used to work and now what works better? Social media is a 365 day-a-year drip campaign. Social media networks are the place to build relationships today. Tony blocks time to engage on social media. He has conversations online and follows them up with friend requests. Social media has made it so simple to get into conversation with other humans. Why are we choosing to do anything cold when online networks make everything boiling hot? Lead generation is simply asking enough people every day if they know anybody looking to buy or sell a house and getting at least twenty people to respond yes or no to you. For every ten people that you see comment on a friend of yours or a connection of yours post, you're not connected or friends with 8/10 on average. Make sure everything about you online is public. You have got to get in front of the camera. Authenticity sells. Just start livestreaming and as you start doing it for things you like to do it on, it will create a habit. 3 Key Points: Websites are the modern-day first impression and they get listings. It’s a huge problem that agents are being taught brand awareness by techies. Social media is the place to build relationships.

On Tuesday, March 29, 1988, Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation and New Dramatists hosted a seminar on the director-playwright relationship with directors Tony Giordano, Pam Berlin, Paul Benedict, and Woodie King, Jr., and writers Steve Carter, Jack Heifner, John Bishop and Reynaldo Povod. This lively ninety-minute conversation includes discussions of the director's role on a new play, what playwrights look for in a director, and colorful nature of the collaboration described as a marriage, an affair and a divorce. Other topics include the role of the producer as mediator and ownership of the play along with several horror stories of disastrous collaborations. Anyone interested in the current national conversation about new play development and playwrights should listen to this podcast to discover just how much and how little the director-playwright relationship has evolved over the past twenty-two years.
On December 15, 1986, director Tony Giordano, designers Hugh Landwehr and Dennis Parichy and actors Michael Fischetti, Jennifer Van Dyck and Diane Martella spoke with moderator Amy Saltz at New Dramatists about their work on a traveling co-production of "A View From The Bridge", produced by theatres in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany. Having taken place after two of the four runs, this conversation is a rare opportunity to hear artists from various disciplines talk about a play that is still in progress. Fischetti and Giordano discuss the inception of the play at Syracuse Stage after doing "Glengarry Glen Ross", and how it turned into a touring co-production. Giordano speaks of the opportunity to go back into rehearsal and continue to find the life of the play between Buffalo and Syracuse, and his excitement to implement their new discoveries in a smaller theater when they head to Albany. The designers discuss the difficulty of designing one set to work in four different spaces, with three proscenium and one thrust theatre, and the actors talk about committing to one show in small towns for an extended period of time. At the heart of this discussion is a group of people who are passionate about the work they have been doing and are continuing to do, and the idea that a play is not finished once it's in front of an audience.
The panel of playwrights Vernel Bagneris (Further Mo') and Tom Cole (About Time), lyricist John Driver (Shogun), director Tony Giordano (About Time & Handy Dandy), lyricist Sheldon Harnick (Tony winner for Fiorello! and two Tonys for Fiddler on the Roof), Executive Director of the Dramatists Guild David LeVine, and director Lonny Price (The Rothschilds) discuss how they got started in their careers, writing for the stage, and the role of the Dramatists Guild.
