The situation worsened when his bank suddenly cut off his funding during a market downturn. This prompted Jay to explore alternative investment strategies like buying properties "Subject-To", using options, and buying with "Lease/Options.”   Still needing a reliable funding source, Jay designed a unique system combining the best aspects of his research. With this system, he was able to secure $250,000 from his first prospect, followed by $2,150,000 in private funding within a few months. This system, dubbed "Where To Get The Money Now," revolutionized his investment career and helped him realize massive profits annually, despite living in a small city.   CONNECT WITH JAY Website: Jay Conner LinkedIn: Jay Conner  Facebook: Jay Conner - The Private Money Authority    ASCEND Don't Wait To Enjoy Your Life, Tomorrow, Live It Today!

They discuss the status of EoE as a rare disease, and how the awareness of many eosinophilic disorders is spreading. Ryan shares some of his childhood memories of the EOS Connection conference and how great it is to see so many young patients participating in the kids and teen program. Ryan and Mary Jo discuss conference session highlights, including multidisciplinary care teams, the transition from pediatric to adult care, and coping with chronic illness. They invite you to register to watch recordings of the conferenc, which will be available until the end of 2024.

He and co-host Mary Jo Strobel are live from EOS Connection 2024, APFED's annual patient education conference.   [1:14] Mary Jo Strobel is happy to join Ryan for a wrap-up of key highlights and congratulates Ryan on receiving the Founder's Award. It was a joy for Mary Jo to present the award to Ryan.   [1:38] It was a nice surprise for Ryan. Beth, one of the founders, gave a lovely speech about Ryan and Zach, the other award recipient. Ryan has known Zach for 20-plus years and they are life-long friends. They've known Beth for just as long. It was perfect.   [2:23] Ryan's highlights of this year's conference were going down memory lane looking at the photos in the award presentation, meeting a lot of new patients and families, talking about experiences, and speaking with the wonderful researchers and speakers.   [3:13] Mary Jo appreciated how the speakers delivered their messages in a way that was easy to understand. It was great to have them involved in the conference.   [3:27] Mary Jo found it interesting when Dr. Spergel said on Friday that EoE may not be considered a rare disease for much longer and he raised the question: Is prevalence rising or are more people being diagnosed from better awareness around EoE?   [3:57] Ryan also says it's interesting to hear. APFED doesn't want to be necessary. Ideally, everyone can see their pediatrician, get the diagnosis early, and get treatment early, not only for EoE but for everything else.   [4:16] So many children come to APFED now, diagnosed early and on treatment options. On the adult side, so many people are coming to APFED saying they've lived with symptoms for years, not knowing what it was, and now have a diagnosis.   [4:51] While EoE is becoming more common, there are the rarer eosinophilic subsets to talk about, HES (hypereosinophilic syndrome), eosinophilic fasciitis, and EGPA (eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis).   [5:50] Dr. Amy Klion joined the conference virtually but attended the reception onsite. She is crucial to some of the rare eosinophilic disease research projects.   [5:59] Mary Jo found Friday's conversation with Drs. Sauer and McGowan about the management of EoE patients to be intriguing, in particular, when it was recognized that the GI and allergist might not always agree on approaches to treatment.   [6:09] There was a lot of excitement around less-invasive diagnosistics. Mary Jo says it was fun to see the videos of Drs. Sauer and McGowan trying the string test.   [6:25] Ryan has not yet tried the string test. It was fun for him to see that video of the two doctors trying it. The two doctors also shared their experience trying a six-food elimination diet. It was wonderful to have both doctors at the conference.   [6:47] Holly Knotowicz could not join the podcast today but she and Ryan have talked before on the podcast about the importance of multidisciplinary care teams and how crucial they can be.   [6:57] It was wonderful to hear from the doctors that they are working on multidisciplinary care teams on the pediatric side, through the transition process, and onto the adult side. Ryan hopes they can create a roadmap for other facilities to follow.   [7:13] In the string test, the doctors both gagged at the end, but they made it through and both said their patients do a better job going through it with a straight face! The string test is now available at multiple U.S. sites.   [7:42] For Mary Jo, it was fun to see so many kids and teens on site enjoying themselves in the activities and the mentorship they were having. A robotics team came on site. There was a fun Family Feud-style game.   [8:11] Ryan says the activities were absolutely crucial for him growing up. It was one of his favorite parts of the conference, coming back year after year, being with his friends again in an environment where he was able to feel so normal and among peers.   [8:29] Ryan says you can lead a pretty normal life with EoE or other eosinophilic disorders, but it's not something your school peers can relate to. Coming to the conference is so impactful. Ryan heard multiple kids say, “Wow, you're just like me!”   [8:46] For Ryan, it's amazing that the conference can offer that environment for everybody. Ryan says it's wonderful to have the teen program with so many volunteers to help. Ryan met Zach in a kids and teen program and now he helps run them. [9:13] Many incredible volunteers came to help; Ryan mentions some by name. It's wonderful that the conferences have been able to create such a tight-knit community for these patients. [9:24] Mary Jo appreciated the volunteers doing the kids and teen programming this year for the conference and Amelia coming on-site as well.   [9:38] Mary Jo liked the talk on coping with chronic illness and Dr. Kichline's advice that you may not be able to change the situation but you can change how you react to it. It's important for children to learn and adults to remember; you are not your disease.   [10:06] Ryan remembers that point being emphasized when he was young. Thanks to APFED, we have a mentality here that you're a kid first and then you also have to deal with allergies, medicines, and doctors' appointments.   [10:18] We want to make sure that you can enjoy school, enjoy your childhood, go out, hang out with friends, and be who you want to be without having to have EoE at the forefront of your identity.   [10:32] That goes for all the other eosinophilic disorders and into adulthood. Those who were diagnosed 20 years ago are entering the workplace and figuring out how to be an adult with EoE. We have our lives first and part of that is managing this chronic illness.   [10:55] Ryan says it was wonderful that they were able to talk to the disability lawyer. Part of the management of chronic illness is making sure that you can be an adult or a kid and have financial support through something like SSI or employer-based disability.   [11:20] Mary Jo comments on the terrific presentations on the virtual day. It was great to hear from Dr. Fussner about EGPA. That tied in well with the new EGPA Toolkit that APFED launched this week in collaboration with the Vasculitis Foundation.   [11:47] You can find the new EGPA Toolkit at APFED.org.   [11:59] Ryan thinks it's exciting that the conference highlighted some of the more rare eosinophilic disease subsets. On the virtual day, presenters talked about EGPA, HES, eosinophilic asthma, and eosinophilic fasciitis.   [12:12] Eosinophilic fasciitis is so rare. Two people were chatting in private messages beside a presentation that they had never talked to someone else with eosinophilic fasciitis. Ryan also saw there were multiple HES patients in person this year.   [12:30] Ryan states that it is exciting to see patients even with these rare disease subsets being able to come together and hear about the latest research.   [12:37] Mary Jo answers that's why we call it EOS Connection! Ryan agrees; we're making those patient connections even among these rare subsets.   [12:47] Mary Jo had a fantastic time at the conference. She learned a lot and she hopes Ryan and everybody watching did, as well. [12:57] If you did not participate in the live events, Mary Jo and Ryan encourage you to visit APFED.org/conference and register to access the virtual conference to watch the recordings and explore the virtual poster hall and exhibit hall, through the end of 2024.   [13:21] Ryan thanks our education partners for supporting this event. It was wonderful to have so many people here; he hopes everyone was able to enjoy the virtual event.   Mentioned in This Episode: EOS Connection 2024 Conference APFED on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram Real Talk: Eosinophilic Diseases Podcast apfed.org/egids apfed.org/specialist apfed.org/connections   Tweetables:   “It was so wonderful to hear from doctors working on multidisciplinary care teams on the pediatric side, through the whole transition process, and onto the adult side.

In this second episode of the new series "Replicating the Stars in Your Pilates Instructor Team," host David Gunther explores reasons why clients may hesitate to provide a 5-star Google review for a clinical Pilates studio using the Pilates Can studio business as the example. Together with Pilates Can's other owner and Lead Instructor Claire Gunther, and Sales and Marketing Manager Tara Smith, they discuss real and hypothetical cases, emphasizing how feedback from clients can help improve services. Various scenarios, such as technological challenges and personal privacy concerns, are analyzed. The episode also highlights the importance of setting client expectations and the collaborative process between instructors, the business, and clients. Lastly, it introduces next week's discussion on the benefits of a synergistic relationship between clients, instructors, and the business. Tweetables“It's a collaborative process. It's a partnership between our instructors, the business, and the clients to help them build that excellent Pilates exercise habit. That's something that we try to deal with right up front, but even that being the case, (false) expectations might still come through.”David Gunther – Director Pilates Can / Pilates BusinessGet the Full Show NotesWant access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's episode?

We all catch ourselves saying, “I just don't have enough time,” especially as a property management business owner.  In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull talk about the excuse of not having enough time and using time more effectively in property management. You'll Learn [01:25] The excuse of not having enough time [05:29] You can buy more time [10:08] Energy management vs. time management [13:23] Doing a time study [16:04] Don't fight your natural energy level Tweetables “It's not actually true to say we don't have time. What we're really saying is, ‘This is not a priority for me right now.'” “Time is a currency you can buy.” “You should not be trading your time for money. If you own a business.” “It's really about energy management, not time management when you're an entrepreneur.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] Jason: It's really about energy management, not time management when you're an entrepreneur. It's about managing that currency of energy. And what I find is we have endless amounts of energy if we're doing the things that we love, that we enjoy doing.  [00:00:15] Welcome DoorGrowers, to the DoorGrowShow. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives, and you are interested in growing in business and life, and you're open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrower. DoorGrower property managers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate, high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. We're your hosts, property management growth experts, Jason Hull and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow. [00:01:09] Now let's get into the show. All right. So the topic we discussed last night about talking about on the podcast today is time.  [00:01:20] Time excuse. "I don't have enough time." [00:01:23] We hear this a lot. Every day. "I don't have time. I don't have time. I don't have enough time to do this." So we're talking about the time excuse and You know sometimes... we've got this amazing mastermind. Sometimes clients want to cancel. And we have a really low churn rate. We keep clients, so we're usually surprised when somebody wants to cancel. And when we find out and ask why, we got this from one of our mentors, but we now ask the question, "is this a time thing or a money thing?" Which has proven to be really effective because a lot of times it's just a time thing and time is easily solvable. [00:01:59] If it's a money thing, then that's easily solvable too. That's easily solvable too. Just a different route. That's all. So let's talk about time. I've got two clients right now actually that it was a time thing and they're still staying in the program and it's very easy to keep people in the program if it's just a time thing because they're always like, "Oh, we love the program. I just, I don't have time to do all this stuff right now." So what do we say about time?  [00:02:21] Sarah: So this is, I think the thing that I hear the most from property managers. Period. Just, especially in this business is, "Oh my God, I just don't have time for anything. Like I feel like I'm spending my whole day working," and we'll come across clients who are working anywhere from eight to 16 hours a day and that's normal for them. [00:02:45] Jason: Yeah. So it's our job to get them out of that. Yeah.  [00:02:49] Sarah: If you're working eight to 16 hours a day, I'm talking to you.  [00:02:53] Jason: So we have a training that we did once called the priorities training, and it was all about time really. But the reason we called it the priorities training is because saying, "I don't have time," is a very victim sort of phrase. [00:03:05] It's not actually true. You can't legitimately go to any other human being on the planet and say, "I don't have time" when we all are allotted the same number of hours in a day. We've all been given the same amount of currency each day. What's different though, it's not actually true to say we don't have time. [00:03:23] What we're really saying is "this is not a priority for me right now." Or our priorities are just off. So it's really more about priorities. The more honest answer is "I am not making time for this right now because I'm prioritizing something else." And so if you're the type of person that goes around saying, "I don't have time. I don't have time for this," then you are using victim language. This is not effective language if you want to actually be in control of your life. You recognize that you are the creator of your universe, your life, your world. Like you have choice, right? And to walk around saying, "I don't have time" is like putting on the blinders and saying, "the world just takes control of everything I have to do. I have no control of my life," right? You're not a slave. You're not a servant to somebody else. You have control and autonomy over your time. And so you're just making choices. And so the more honest answer would be not to say, "I don't have time," would be to say, "I'm choosing something else right now," right? [00:04:25] Be honest about that. If what you're spending, what you think you should be spending your time on is not really your priority, then maybe you're not really being honest with yourself. Maybe your priority is something else. Maybe your priority right now is family. Maybe your priority right now is another business. [00:04:39] We run into this with clients sometimes, their priority is their brokerage. And they're doing real estate deals. It's not the property management side.  [00:04:45] Sarah: And in the property management side, sometimes their focus is the property management side, but they're prioritizing all the wrong things. [00:04:53] Yeah. They're prioritizing all the little things that the day to day tactical work that has to be done. It has to be done by somebody, but it doesn't probably have to be done by you, right?  [00:05:05] Jason: So what I find is even the two clients that I'm coaching right now helping them get out of this time sort of constraint, they both have assistants, they have team members. [00:05:14] They have an assistant? Yeah, they have assistants. And so what's really funny is that when we say we don't have time and then we are paying other people for their time so that we can have more time, then we're missing something. We're not doing something effective.  [00:05:29] Sarah: Time is a currency you can buy. Yeah. So to say, "Oh I don't have enough time." You have the same amount of time that everybody else has. Some people are just more effective with their time than others, which is why they're able to do so much or do so much so quickly or be so successful. However, with time, that's the beauty of it is you can literally purchase more time. [00:05:50] You can purchase time of another human being. Yeah. To help move your business forward.  [00:05:54] Jason: So one of the concepts that I got from one of my mentors in the past, Alex Charfen, he shared this concept called the five currencies and the five currencies that you have to invest in your own life and in your business are time, energy, focus, cash, and effort. [00:06:11] Now, I believe the most important of those, the scarcest resource of all those is time. We're all going to die. Time is the most significant currency. Time is the most significant currency. It's the most limited. We can do a lot of things to try and have more time and live life a little longer. [00:06:31] But time is a limited currency. The other ones. We can maximize, but we can't generally do a whole lot to maximize time. We can do a lot to shorten it. So we buy time, right? What's crazy to me though, is that when people start working, they don't have a lot, right? When people start into the workforce, the one thing they can sell though is pieces of their life. [00:06:54] They can sell time. So it's pretty wild that I can go out into the marketplace. And I can buy people's time. Like they will pay, like I can give them money and they will give me chunks of their life. They're like, "here you go." As a business owner, we want to get out of the trap of being paid for our time. [00:07:12] We don't want to be paid an hourly wage or being taking care of like hourly. We want to get out of the time trap.  [00:07:20] Sarah: You should not be trading your time for money. If you own a business.  [00:07:24] Jason: Smart business owners are buying people's time with money and not giving their time for money. And so we want to shift that as a business owner and property management is a great business model for that. You can create a lot of leverage. You can build up a lot of doors in your portfolio, and it's not about time. It's not about, Oh I have this many hours. It's all me, right? You can systematize the business. You can get other people to do things for you. [00:07:45] And so we want to. I want to make sure that we make time something enjoyable. And so we've talked about the four reasons before, but we want to make sure you have more fulfillment in the time that you're spending, that you have more freedom, more a sense of autonomy, more a sense of contribution and more support from your team, right? [00:08:06] The four reasons. And then there's a fifth reason of safety and certainty. So we want to get more and more of those as the business progresses and as we grow in the business and as we grow in entrepreneurship. But a lot of business owners end up with less and less time, less and less fulfillment, less and less freedom, less and less of a sense of like of contribution. [00:08:27] And they then burn themselves out even as they build a team. So we want to make sure that we don't do. But what are some of the time excuses or time challenges and then maybe we can talk about how we deal with those briefly and how to get  [00:08:41] Sarah: out of it. I think what's probably. Because there's a gazillion excuses you can come up with, right? [00:08:47] Leases take forever or tenants always call me or what, whatever it is. And every in, in every business, there's always going to be an infinite number of things that can just eat up all of your time. That's how it works in every business. This is how it works. What we need to do though, is really figure out what are the things that I actually enjoy doing and how can I do more of those things? [00:09:08] And then the things that I really hate doing, how can I do less of those things? So how would the time that I have, and if I'm willing to invest, because every minute that you put into your business is an investment. So if you're willing to invest eight hours a day in your business, and if you're working for someone else, it just means you're investing eight hours a day into their business, right? [00:09:31] So you might as well invest in your own. So if you're investing eight hours a day into your business, what can I do in those eight hours a day to really make a difference? And what? In those eight hours a day, can I do that's going to make me happy? Because if you're spending eight hours a day and you hate every minute of it and you're going, "oh my god Is it five o'clock yet? Like I can't wait for this to be over. Is it the weekend yet? Because I can't wait for that to be done," Then you're probably doing the wrong things in your business, and you need to be able to purchase somebody else's time to offload those things that somebody else would actually enjoy doing  [00:10:08] Jason: So it's really about energy management, not time management when you're an entrepreneur. [00:10:13] It's about managing that currency of energy. And what I find is we have endless amounts of energy if we're doing the things that we love, that we enjoy doing. It like gives us energy. Those are our plus signs energetically.  [00:10:26] Sarah: If you're charging our batteries at a party and they just go. The party is done and they're still gabbing away and they're like handing out, whatever and they're like, "oh, let me get your number Oh, let me hook up with you and let me like get-" It's like "guys, wrap up." But there's like that one person who's still going and it's like you have to kick him You're like I don't care where you go. Just don't go here anymore. Go take this elsewhere That's because they really enjoy that. They're like in their element. They're like, "I love talking to people. I love connecting with people. I love networking. I love this. They can do it all day long." Me, I can't do that because I'm much more of an introvert. [00:11:04] So the things that you really enjoy truly will energize you. And you'll find them fun and you want to do them instead of just constantly checking the clock. "What time is it now? How long? Oh, geez. How many more calls do I have to do? Oh, I have to do two hours of calls a day. Ah, crap. All right. Like maybe I can dial real slow."  [00:11:20] Jason: Yeah. And so I think one of the mistakes we make early in the early stages and entrepreneurs, we assume that we need to find people like ourselves. Or we just do because we like ourselves to some degree. But we want to find people that their plus signs are our minus signs, right? [00:11:37] That's where they're a match for us, right? So there are a lot of things that Sarah enjoys that I do not enjoy. He would not. And there's definitely things that are the reverse. right? And you want to find and build a team of people that basically are happy and enjoy your minus signs and are not like you. [00:11:58] Instead of making the assumption, "this sucks, and now I got to find somebody to give this sucky thing to, because I hate maintenance coordination. And now I got to find somebody else that's going to hate it." When you make those assumptions, then you sometimes attract people that are like you and that hate it. But you need to find people that's their plus sign. So we can keep everybody in your team in their plus signs. And if you're not in your plus signs, your team members definitely aren't. It's just really rare that you'll have a business owner that's absolutely miserable, they are holding onto all these hats and things they don't enjoy wearing... so we got to make sure that we move the things off our plate onto people's plates that enjoy it, but you cannot build the right team for you around the wrong person. [00:12:38] You have to be showing up as the right person. You have to constantly be moving towards your plus signs. So how do we get you out of all the minus signs and focus on the plus signs? So these two clients, I've got them doing a two week time study right now. And this is the foundation. [00:12:51] This is the foundation of getting clarity on what things do I enjoy and don't I enjoy because sometimes as entrepreneurs, we just tolerate a lot. It becomes white noise. We just do what we feel like we're supposed to do. " I'm the boss. I have to do sales or I'm the boss. I have to do the accounting" and there's really nothing you have to be doing in the business. [00:13:09] Sarah: And just because you can do it doesn't mean you enjoy doing it. So can you fill all the roles in your business? Yeah. Because at some point it was just you. So of course you can do it, but it doesn't mean that you like doing it.  [00:13:23] Jason: So they're doing their time studies and they got to do it for two weeks because the first week they learn a lot of things. [00:13:27] Like we found three major problems in my coaching call with one of the clients that's been doing his time study already for a week, three major time problems. Like one was he was spending an hour to do something after three o'clock. It was taking him an hour to do something that takes him 10 minutes to do in the morning, right? [00:13:44] So we talked about. His time and how he's becoming less effective at the end of the day because his brain chemicals aren't properly functioning. And then it related to sleep. And so then we were like, "okay, we've got to figure out some hacks for sleep. How do we get the circadian rhythm?" Because he believed his rhythm was messed up because of like working nights previously for a long time. So he had this belief that he was on a schedule. I'm like, "okay we can get your body on a different schedule and affect the circadian rhythm by using light, sunlight in the morning and stuff like this" and some other hacks. So we got into that and that he had two other major issues and he wasn't leveraging his assistant properly. He wasn't doing daily planning. And these are super easy things to install to create a lot more productivity and a lot more space and to actually leverage the team members that this particular client has. [00:14:34] And so the second week of his time study is going to look very different than the first week. Now, the other mistake we make when it comes to time is our team members will say, "I don't have any more time. So when your team members say that, what I find is it's also still a lie, right? And so usually, I'll have my team members do a time study to prove it. [00:14:53] And usually the first time study that a team member does, they magically have 30 percent more time available. Almost always. So it usually takes about two or three time studies before they legitimately need an assistant or some support or you need to hire or get some help or advice, get some software or whatever. [00:15:11] But after you do a time study, a lot of clarity comes out. You're like, "why are you spending four hours doing this?" " This happens and it does this." And you're like, "cool, let's solve that problem." So you'll be able to use your creativity and your innovative mind as to solve problems time wise for your team members. [00:15:27] And this allows you to get a lot more yield from your existing team, rather than just assuming because they're busy that they are productive and they are doing everything that you need them to do and that you need to go hire more people because then you artificially are building out a much more expensive team than you actually need. [00:15:47] It's not based on proof or reality and the evidence or proof that you need an assistant and what you should have your assistant do. And that eventually that. Assistant or team member needs their own assistant is all should be based on time studies should be based on looking at time  [00:16:04] Sarah: You brought up something you touched on it really quickly that I've taught on this on the scale call I think a few times is figuring out what your energy levels are like and don't try to fight your body like literally every body is different. [00:16:19] So some people they're morning people like this one. Some people are not like me. So if you feel really energized in the morning, then utilize that time. And use that time when you feel fresh, when you feel energized, when you feel like, "Hey, I'm like, good to go," use that time to do the most, either the most difficult thing or the thing that's going to take the most amount of brain power. [00:16:46] Or if you're doing something like sales and you feel like you're in your element, do it then. And if you're more like me where I'm more effective in the afternoon, then. Shift those things to the afternoon. But a lot of times people, they go, "Oh, I have to do this. And it's like sales secrets will say that the morning is the best time to do this, so I must do this in the morning." If you're trying to fight with your own body and your own rhythm and how you're feeling, if you're trying to do sales calls and you have low energy and you feel like "I just, I don't want to do this. I feel like I'm either not ready for the day or I'm done for the day." [00:17:24] You're probably doing it at the wrong time. So the tasks that are going to take a lot of brain power. Don't try to force yourself to do them when you have really low energy levels because it will take a lot longer and you're probably going to make a lot of mistakes, whereas otherwise you can just fly through it. [00:17:41] Maybe you know that at least like the back of your hand, it's no problem. But if your energy levels are low or if you're feeling off, then you have to maybe double or triple check some things.  [00:17:51] Jason: You bring up a really good point. These two clients that I'm coaching, we talked about daily planning. [00:17:57] So daily planning is a great way to get more juice from your day and set the intention, but daily planning. I'd like to do the daily planning in the morning because that's when I'm freshest, I have the best ideas. I can think through things. But for some they probably should be doing it in the evening because like they can't go to bed without unloading their brain. [00:18:18] I can just shut down. I just go to sleep. I don't worry about a thing. I can just go to bed. I'm like, it's bedtime. But for a lot of my clients, a lot of other people, maybe you listening, you might not be able to do that. So you might be like, "man, I just keep thinking about all the stuff." And until you get that stuff out of your head and it's on paper where it's safe. [00:18:36] They say the Chinese proverb is the palest ink is stronger than the best memory. When we get it out of our head, it reduces our anxiety and we no longer have to worry that we're going to lose that thing. So I use the notes app on my phone. I put notes all over the place. I just get things out of my head. [00:18:52] So daily planning is a great process to unload everything out of your head. So that you can go to bed and get some good rest. And so for one of the clients, that was what I advised. Do your daily planning in the evenings so that you can go to sleep, get good sleep and wake up in the morning and you already have a plan and you're ready to attack the day. [00:19:10] And then you will know how to leverage your assistant. You'll know how to leverage your team members because you made a plan. And the next step in getting a big to do list is to give it to your team members. So if you have two, three team members, like this client did, then they can give these to their team members, anything that they can so it's not sitting on their plate, eating up headspace and stressing them out, and taking up their day and so then they're able to give up some of that time chunk to somebody else to eat. So cool All right. Anything else we should say about time or this time? Excuse and how to kill these time excuses so that they should be focused on?  [00:19:46] One of the things I ask the clients I'm like, "cool if we create this space if we you are able to give more to your assistants and you free up your time and you've got more time... what are you going to use that time for? How are you going to allocate that? What are you going to do that's going to make the business more money or move you forward or make your life better?" And so I think that's the other thing is we need to have a plan for what are we going to do with our time because we have no incentive to create more space or create more bandwidth or create more time if it's just going to mean we're going to be more miserable, right? So we need to figure out what are we going to use this extra time for? It's just like making money. You need a goal. Like "I'm going to go buy this nice car if I make more money." So it's going to motivate me. You need some sort of motivation. What am I going to do with this extra time? If you enjoy doing sales or growing the business or business development, that might be a really great place to invest that time because then it's going to make you more money and which you can use to buy more freedom. Maybe it's to get a BDM because you don't like doing sales, something like that. [00:20:43] Sarah: So once you free up your time, then you have offloaded a lot of the things you hate, you have some extra time, and now you can decide "what do I actually want to do with that time?" Because if you don't wake up in the morning and go, "what do I want to do with my day today?" Then you may have a time problem. [00:21:00] Jason: All right. So for those of you listening, if you're like, "man, I'm really been in this time trap. Like I've been stuck doing the same default future for the last two or three years. Every January comes around, I'm like, 'I've got big goals.'" And you still are miserable, you're still wearing all the same hats, you haven't really made progress in adding doors. Then it's time to admit you may need some good advice. You may need some extra ideas. You may need some knowledge outside of yourself. And the slowest way to grow your business is to do it all by yourself. It's time to reach out and get some help and we can help you collapse time significantly and that's what it's all about. [00:21:42] That's what coaching is all about is collapsing time, helping you find ways to just shorten the time of learning, the time of making mistakes to learn, the time of figuring things out, like what actually works, what gets results, what helps you outdoors quickly, how do we lower costs? So we want to help you figure that out. [00:22:00] So reach out to us at DoorGrow and go to DoorGrow.com. Until next time, everybody to our mutual growth, bye everyone.

Now let's get into the show.  [00:01:18] So our guest today we're hanging out with Brian Bean, who is one of our clients and Brian your company is Dream Big Property Management.  [00:01:28] Brian: That's right. We're in Merced, California.  [00:01:30] Jason: All right. In Merced, California. So Brian welcome to the show. Oh, Riverside. You said Riverside. [00:01:37] Okay. Got it. I know this area. So yeah, I grew up in Rancho Cucamonga. So just a little bit near there. So Brian tell us a little bit about your journey and how you got into property management and then eventually how you stumbled across DoorGrow, I guess.  [00:01:55] Brian: Right, so, I was a newspaper editor and reporter and I got a job, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, got a journalism degree, got a job in Palm Springs on the Daily Newspaper, and moved to California in the 80s. [00:02:11] And so I did that for 13 or 14 years toward the end I, you know, coming from an entrepreneurial background, my uncle gave me my first, second, third job when I was a kid he owned a, like, old style service station. So I grew up in that small business atmosphere. And when I went to work in newspapers, you know, I had these lofty aspirations, these utopian ideas, you know, you're getting your twenties about doing something to change the world or, you know, to have an impact. And I found out after about 10 years, that was just, it's just another corporate job. And so I was looking around for something else and I looked at a lot of different businesses. [00:02:55] And I ended up coming upon real estate and I was able to, while I was a newspaper editor, I was able to buy five, two five unit apartment buildings in Palm Spring. Nice. And that was my introduction to property management. I was pretty much doing that during the day. We were putting out newspapers in a, from like three in the afternoon to midnight, you know, the press would roll at midnight and and I did it all, you know, I, from everything from dealing with the tenants face to, you know, patch and drywall to whatever collecting rents, chasing rents, made all the mistakes. [00:03:33] And I was, it was self education trial by fire. And then a few years later, I went into real estate full time and sales. I had a partner in the apartments who was actually the listing agent on those apartments at the time, but he invited me into real estate full time in 2001. [00:03:49] And then we were off on a, and it was a run. And so I, I did property management for a while from on our own properties. And then I've just morphed into sales and we were pretty successful and very busy and then the market crashed, and you know, we just kind of moved with the market.  [00:04:08] Jason: And when was that? [00:04:09] Like 2006,  [00:04:11] Brian: maybe, or?  [00:04:11] Yeah. So 2006 at least in our area, it was August, 2006 when we peaked sales wise. And in 2007, we had, I don't know, a dozen listings and nobody, you couldn't buy a showing, you know? And so 2007, it was the real estate market was, you know, dead man walking. It was, there was nobody really knew what was happening? Well, the masses, right? Some people knew, right? There was stuff going on obviously on wall street, but, the masses didn't know what was happening. Prices stayed up for awhile and they were, it was just like that, that hovering just before the, you know, you throw a ball in the air and it just kind of floats at the apex for a moment right before 2008 and then wow. [00:04:54] Right. Who knew? Yeah. So, You we just kind of morphed with it. I've worked, I did a lot of, I helped a lot of people with short sales, we worked in foreclosures and. And then I met my current business partner in sales working in an REO house as a buyer's agent. And we started our own company, Dream Big Real Estate, and that was 2008, 2009. [00:05:15] So from there, a couple of years later I just happened to say to my partner, you know, even though we were very busy, I said, "I really think we should launch a property management division" because at that time, my mentality was, it's a place where we can create sales listings, right? [00:05:35] And so we did that for a few years. And, you know, the interesting thing about it was that we didn't do any marketing. It was just really word of mouth, but. The day that I mentioned that to my partner, Tim, he just said, "yeah, cool, whatever." Right. he knew I was going to probably be working on it because I had the background in it, but I didn't tell anybody. [00:05:55] And the next day the phone rang and our first property management client just was calling out of the blue. Still have them, still work with them. [00:06:03] And then a week later, somebody else called. And it was the same thing, and that was our second client. Still working with them as well. And the, you know, I'm not into rubbing crystals or sleeping under pyramids, but you know, you ask the universe and the universe will provide. [00:06:19] Jason: One of the things that you mentioned, Brian, that I think's really interest is, it sounds like part of your journey, like there's this importance you've probably realized in partnerships. [00:06:28] because you've mentioned multiple times, you know, you partner with the listing agent and then eventually you partner with Tim. And so how is finding the right partners been instrumental in your growth and your progress? [00:06:41] Brian: Well, I will say this is that later on more recently, this year, they have broken out the property management business that was running as part of our real estate sales business. I've broken that out separately, and I'm now solo doing that. Right. Have had partners in the past, and I have found working with partners to be that there's advantages and disadvantages. Totally. It's hard to find, it's really difficult for partnerships to be successful because most people, the ego is getting in the way or, you know, there becomes a battle about, you know, who's doing what, who deserves this, who deserves that. [00:07:24] Yeah. Personality wise, I'm kind of roll with it person, you know? I'm more of a solution oriented person. Just what we need to get from point A to point B, what's the best way to do that? What for the good of the company, not necessarily for what's best for me personally. Yeah. So I've gone through a couple of partnerships with different people, I have been able to make that work from my point of view, because. [00:07:49] Because of my personality type, I think, but it is not for the the weak hearted, you know, I mean, it is some days are a lot harder than others.  [00:07:58] Jason: I've seen some of the most successful I've seen have really healthy partnerships in some of the worst situations I've seen where they couldn't grow because one was like an anchor, not willing to move and they had just as much decision making power and until they were able to get that partner out of the business, they weren't able to progress. So it can be a boost in the positive, but it's really difficult to find a really good match. [00:08:24] Brian: Yeah, and that's the thing is like, I'm more of a behind the scenes person, just in general, I'm more like I can implement. I generally will have the ideas as well, but I'm the one that I'm kind of a control freak, quite frankly, and so one of my character flaws is right now that I'm trying to work on is feeling like I need to touch everything, you know, because that's that is a throttle in the business. [00:08:48] Jason: Well, I think we all start there. Every entrepreneur starts there, so everybody listening should be able to empathize with that because you know we want to do a good job because we care. We want to look good. We care about how we look right like whatever it is. The challenge with being a control freak is trust and until we learn how to get and find people that we feel safe with, I don't think we're supposed to trust, you know. We're not supposed to just trust blindly. We need to find people that deserve to be trusted and know how to build that team. And that's probably kind of the next level, right? Is for you maybe is to build that team of people that you trust because when you get really great people, it's not hard to trust them. [00:09:30] Yeah. But they need to match you. Like they need to be a good coach. And then it's a lot easier to trust them. And so in this journey, you split out your business and then you have a property management business. It's all yours. You're still doing real estate stuff also? You still connected to that? [00:09:47] Brian: I am, but my mentality has shifted. It's probably been more than two years since the first time I talked to someone from your company and yet we didn't start with your company until, when was it, March this year? It was a two year lag of wrapping my mind around the philosophy of, Just making the shift, right? [00:10:06] Because property management always for us was a, just a holding place for future sales listings. And now, it's the business. Property management's the business and sales is ancillary benefit.  [00:10:21] Jason: So what prompted that shift? How did your brain work that out eventually?  [00:10:25] Brian: I think it's a combination of a variety of things. Having now 20 plus years in the business, I've been through an up and a down and an up and a flat, right? Who knows what the next one looks like. Is it eighties, nineties, or is it two thousands downturn? Yeah. And where I am in life, right. And I mean, do I want to work forever? Just slinging, right? Do I want to be out there, you know, showing, opening doors at, you know, 68 years old? [00:10:57] Jason: And chasing deals? Yeah.  [00:10:59] Brian: So mailbox money, right. Building a business that's sellable. Right now, or up until this point, I should say, it has been 100 percent every dollar that comes into our house is product of my labor, and that is a train coming down the track. [00:11:19] Right. So I needed to make some changes now that would have dramatic impacts on my future. If I wanted to change what I was doing, you know. [00:11:27] Jason: Yeah. Got it. Yeah. That switch from kind of recognizing you're kind of trading time for dollars to realizing, "Hey maybe I want to build something." [00:11:36] I mean, it's really tempting because you close one real estate deal, that can be a lot of money, but eventually I think there's a lot of real estate agents that wake up to this, that they're like, "Hey, if real estate kind of takes a nosedive or do I want to do this forever?" Maybe not. [00:11:52] Property management might be a really great business model.  [00:11:55] Brian: Like I said, we did our sales under under Better Homes and Gardens now, and I don't know, did I say that? Maybe in my own head. So the property management is under my own brokerage. The sales that we do, we work under Better Homes and Gardens. [00:12:10] I, you know, Tim and I as sales agents here until this year, we've been the number one agent, like since we came here. So seven, eight years, however long it's been. I do see the changes. I have seen the changes come in and perhaps it's a little bit of you just mental scar tissue from the crash of, you know, '8, '9, '10, ' 11. Yeah. It's just, you know, because the cracks have been forming in the foundation of this real estate sales market for a few years. Right. And it's been propped up artificially by government policies. Yeah. For three, four years. Right. And so, I've been waiting for a shoe to drop quite frankly. [00:12:51] And so two years ago a guy used to work for you, Jon. I called Jon back in like February this year. "Hey, Jon, you still working over at DoorGrow?" Jon was actually the one who said to me two years ago, two and a half years ago now, " if you do this, our expectation is that you're going to change your philosophy. You're going to be a property manager who doesn't do sales." What? That took me a while to embrace.  [00:13:17] Jason: Yeah. Yeah. Jon's a good friend of mine. We just went out to lunch recently. He's really sharp, dude. So, you know, I'm really curious, Brian, this journey from being a reporter for a while to real estate, to now shifting your identity into being a property manager, and that's the focus. How do you feel the reporter in you helps the property manager?  [00:13:44] Brian: Yeah, perfect proving ground. It's who I am is based on education, information gathering, being an advocate for consumers, right? [00:13:56] That's what I was trained to be as a reporter and editor, as a journalist, and that just morphs perfectly into what I do now, which is to look after my client's financial well being, right? And it doesn't hurt that I tend to over explain things, right? Because that's what I do, right? Is my job is to go out and gather information and then provide it in an objective way so that people can then make the best decisions for them and their family, right? So that's being a reporter, right? It is to shine a light on the facts so that people can decide. I mean, sometimes you got to take them by the hand and lead them down the path, right, educating them along the way. Yeah, for sure.  [00:14:37] Sarah: So what was the thing that made you go, "all right, I'm finally going to do this. Like I'm going to jump on board, get involved with DoorGrow and start really focusing on this property management thing? [00:14:49] Brian: Yeah. So earlier this year I had been kicking around, you know, you're looking at numbers, right? Kicking around the idea of "how much more time do I want to do this?" [00:14:59] And there were some personal things that got into it too, because you start looking at relationships and your family and looking at the things that are most important in your life. And priority wise, where have they been on your list? And so I decided I wanted to make some changes and then I lost some friends and family members just in the past year. [00:15:25] And so, one of the things that I picked up in the newspaper was Spending too much time in the office and and spending the less time seeing family and, you know, coming out of COVID and just, it's just like a combination of a lot of things all crashing together at one time.  [00:15:41] Sarah: We are under attack in our house right now. [00:15:43] We have groceries being delivered.  [00:15:45] Jason: Dogs are going nuts. [00:15:49] Our professional podcast, everybody, so.  [00:15:53] Brian: Anyway, so that was you know, some personal stuff came up and I decided to reevaluate. Now, in the past 10 plus years, I've been doing property management. [00:16:04] providing a supply of say two to six listings a year and making that shift. I don't know, it was a conversation with my wife and you know, running numbers and trying to figure out like, is it even possible? And there's a transition period because what you focus on is what you get. Right. So if I start focusing a hundred percent on property management, and how is that going to affect my income for people? You know, because what I do today in sales, that's not income for 90 days. Right. So at some point you have to be able to make that transition. And so, you know, it was a bit of a leap of faith. [00:16:42] And so, like I said, when I called Jon to ask if he was still working with you guys, then he said, no. He called me back though, but he said no, but he then referred me over to somebody. So, but making that switch, it wasn't an overnight decision by any means. [00:16:58] I agonized over it. It was sleepless nights, some nights. But I knew that I had to do something.  [00:17:04] Jason: So, well, you took a big risk then this leap of faith and then jumped on board with DoorGrow, decided to focus on property management. You feel like you made a good choice? [00:17:14] Brian: Yes. You don't know what you don't know. And so, I've been on a journey of learning what other people are doing, best practices, ancillary services to go along, you know, support type pieces of everything from other streams of income that are related that are, you know, not just management fees and placement fees, right? [00:17:37] I mean, there's a variety, but it's crazy what I've implemented just in the past six months, it's just been an insane pace and now I'm like eight days away from moving to a new, property management portal, and that will be the cherry on top, really. Most of the footwork of putting the foundation together will be mostly done, and then it's digging into processes. [00:18:02] Jason: Awesome. Yeah. So. Yeah. So you've made a lot of changes to your business and you said you've been learning it at an insane pace. So hopefully we're not making you bored with all this stuff. We've got plenty of stuff, right? It can be a bit overwhelming. We give the feedback on. So Brian, well, what's what's next for you in the future? [00:18:25] Brian: Right now I'm just trying to continue to learn from you and I'm just focusing on growing the number of doors that we manage and creating a business that will have sustainable and continuous growth and then part of the process has been, yes, putting the tools in place and doing the things that you know, I've been advised to do to create this and grow this business. [00:18:53] But when you start, you don't necessarily believe it, right? It truly is that leap of faith. And over time, my belief is starting to catch up with my activity. And so, you know, to go like when last week we literally hit the doubling point of when we started with you and after 10 years of just being flat from 30 to 35 units. And then now literally doubled it last week. And that's been from following your instruction, your philosophies and you know, focusing on building this business.  [00:19:30] Jason: Yeah. Well, I'm glad that the next 30 doors didn't take 10 years. That's awesome. Doubling in four months and I think things will speed up from here. So, well, I think that's a good place to end on. I think that's really awesome. So we appreciate you as a client. It's been great seeing your progress. You know, I think there's a lot of property managers out there that are like you, they come from the real estate industry. They want to get out of the hunt and the chase. Maybe they've been doing property management for even a decade, but you know, they haven't really made progress in their growth significantly in the last year or two or three or 10, you know, and and now maybe it's time, maybe it's time. [00:20:10] So maybe some parting words, Brian, what would you say to those that like they've been watching DoorGrow for a while? What would you say to them?  [00:20:17] Brian: Don't wait. You know, where would I be if I'd started two years ago? . I think about that occasionally, and then I have to stop myself because that just takes me off track. [00:20:26] And you get into that regret, you know, loop in your head. Like, no, I don't have time for that. I am where I'm now. And everybody is where they are now, right? And so you can either take action today or not, your results will reflect that. Yeah.  [00:20:42] Sarah: And you're exactly where you're supposed to be in that moment. I can do that to myself too. I can go back and go, "Oh, what if I did this sooner? It could be so much farther." Right. But I think that things just tend to work out the way that they're supposed to work out and things kind of line up. And I think you were prepped, right? [00:20:59] You knew about DoorGrow. You were kind of checking it out. You weren't sure if you were going to make that jump and you did when you were ready and it paid off.  [00:21:06] Jason: Yeah. So, there's a cool book called the gap and the gain. And the idea is that it's so easy for us as entrepreneurs to focus on the gap between where we should be by now. Where our dream or what we could have done. And that's not really an effective comparison psychologically. Like that, like doesn't make us feel super great about ourselves. But what is effective though, is to look at the gain. How far have we come? And I mean, four months. You've come a long way. [00:21:34] And so the next year, I think it's going to be really awesome for you. So I'm excited to see what you do, Brian. So thank you. All right. Thanks for coming on the DoorGrow show.  [00:21:44] Brian: Glad to be here. Thanks.  [00:21:46] Jason: Thanks again. All right. If you are a property management entrepreneur, you're wanting to grow your business. [00:21:51] Maybe you've been sitting stagnant for a while. You haven't had significant progress in the last year, maybe the year before that you might even be a really large company and you're not making progress. I've talked to several with thousands of doors in just the last week. We just got one of them on as a client and they've been struggling to figure out how to grow and they cannot even spend any more money on ads to get any more clients.  [00:22:13] It's not working. If you want to figure out how to start moving your business forward significantly, we can easily help you add 100, 200, maybe even 300 doors in a year. And it's without wasting money or spending money on advertising. And that might sound ridiculous, but Brian's going to do it. [00:22:29] Like we're seeing people do it all the time.

In this episode, we are joined by Mandy Neat who is going to discuss commonalities in homebuying trends with Generation Y (Millennials) and Generation Z. With significant cultural changes happening at increasingly fast speeds, we see notable differences in these generations. While we never want to generalize, there are some markers with these generations that can help us understand our clients better. In this episode, we learn more about these generations and how we can manage their expectations with preparation and communication. We want to help you be able to help them!   [5:20] Mandy discusses the different generations. She brings up a conversation with a Gen Z about what he would want in a house.  [7:33] Gen Y is the next largest home-buying group after Baby Boomers. [11:06] Mandy sees that people are not going right to college from high school. They see housing as an asset. Some are buying investment properties.  [15:46] Younger Millennials are becoming first-time home buyers. They are trying to pay off their student debt, while Gen Z is avoiding going into student debt. [18:55] COVID-19 changed house-buying habits. At the beginning of COVID-19, Younger Millennials and Gen Z-ers jumped into the market without fear. [21:48] Gen Y and Gen Z want everything to be easy to understand. Home buying is potentially complicated and may take time. Mandy discusses the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) as a resource. [27:55] Younger people go to an app on their phone to get information. Real estate professionals need to get in front of technology trends. [30:11] Mandy talks about DPA (Down Payment Assistance) which can help clients buy a house. She also discusses knowing your Confirming Loan Limit. [34:44] Mandy shares that a lot of Gen Z-ers are using family gifts. There are All-In-One Loans where the home buyer can set up a GoFundMe account to be applied toward a down payment. Lenders are coming out with products to help young borrowers. [37:11] TikTok and YouTube make everything look so easy when it comes to home updates. People are opening their minds as to what is possible. [41:12] Mandy is seeing more people buying homes with spaces to work from home and have a social life at home. There is a lot of openness in floor plans. [44:19] Millennials care more about walkable city living rather than their apartment. Gen Z-ers are buying out of the city in more affordable growing areas.  [47:35] Mandy comments on what she observed recently in Wichita, Kansas, with a community full of Gen Z-ers, built around diversity.  [51:56] Mandy hopes that all generations will allow Gen Z and the younger Millennials to get in the conversation of infrastructures, jobs and how to make a difference. [52:40] If you enjoyed this episode, there are classes you can take to enhance your knowledge: ABR® (Accredited Buyer's Representation), and the Buyers by Generation: Success in Every Segment course. Tweetables:   “It's just how their brains are wired. They have so much information. At 18, there's no reason not to go out and purchase, instead of paying all this tuition money, and build your legacy for your wealth in the future. It's an amazing generation.” — Mandy Neat   “We need good loan officers. We need to empower the mortgage industry to take time with people … and show them the numbers … and … professionals in the real estate community that are willing to … go over it with them to make sure all their questions are answered.” — Mandy Neat   “You can obtain a Down Payment Assistance Program and offset your down payment. Try to negotiate closing costs with the seller. You can come in with a minimal amount and own a half-a-million-dollar asset. What other country can you do that in?” — Mandy Neat   “Gen Z and Millennials have this great thing where lenders are coming out with products to help them collect money to buy a house.” — Mandy Neat   Guest Links:   Mandy Neat, REALTOR® Deputy Commissioner, Arizona Department of Real Estate Mandy Neat Mandy Neat at Realty One Arizona Association of REALTORS® WeSERV Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA)   NAR Resource Links The ABR Designation The CIPS Designation Buyers by Generation   Additional Links:   Micro courses found at Learning.REALTOR.

Whether you're a regular listener or you recently found this podcast through an algorithm, a friend, or a desperate Google search, know that you are welcome in this space. It's an honor to play a part in your healing journey! Today, we are joined by a very special guest who has been instrumental in my own journey and that of my family. Erika Straub is an international trauma and anxiety coach, author, and speaker. Her deep knowledge of soma and psyche is the genesis for her coaching programs, which focus on the resolution of anxiety and trauma responses rooted in attachment wounds and shame. In this expansive and enlightening episode, Erika shares her perspective on the importance of outsider witnessing, the intrinsic links between intimacy and safety, and how to recognize and respond to shutdown responses. We also discuss what it means to face shame, develop self, regain personal power, create safety, and move from emotional neglect to emotional intimacy, plus so much more. To find out how Erika can help you heal past trauma, free yourself from shame, and access a deeper level of safety and security through emotional intimacy, be sure to tune in today! Key Points From This Episode: How Erika holds a cycle-breaking frequency for Tanner and her family. The value of an external perspective to sort through the complexities of phobic reactions. Why long-term mentorship is an essential component of the healing journey. An understanding of the relationship between intimacy and safety. What shutdown responses can look like and the role that shame and fear play. Transformative arcs of rupture and repair in close relationships. The importance of celebrating every milestone in your shame work journey. Why Erika believes that seeing and feeling shame can be “a beautiful thing.” A question that can help you distinguish between shame and anxiety. Power differentials in trauma-informed practice, particularly when it comes to parenting. The magic of creating safety outside of sameness. Why intimacy is such an important part of Erika's work. Accessing a deeper level of safety and security through emotional intimacy. How children build secure, emotionally vulnerable attachments with their parents. A look at the intersection between the nervous system and the attachment system.   Tweetables: “It is so valuable for any of us to have that outside witness. When we're with someone who can witness, it helps us evolve our own internal witness.” — Erika Straub [0:07:52]   “The thing that makes us feel the safest is connection. If we can't access that deep level of intimacy and connection with someone, we don't actually get to experience the full spectrum of safety.” — Erika Straub [0:11:04]   “Shutting down contributes to a lot of anxiety because we're blanketing everything that we're feeling and we're distancing [ourselves], although what we really want is connection.” — Erika Straub [0:18:59]   “Once we actually see and feel shame, we don't unsee it, which is a beautiful thing. Then, we discover other pockets where it has inserted itself that we could never have seen before.” — Erika Straub [0:24:52]   “Safety creates freedom. That's where liberation from trauma is. It's not so much ‘what did happen' but ‘what can we do to repair it?' How can I show up imperfectly?” — Erika Straub [0:37:47]   “Once we can reach [a place of emotional intimacy], we access a deeper level of safety and security” — Erika Straub [0:42:10]   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Anxious Female Erika Straub on Instagram CPTSD Medicine on Instagram Tanner Wallace on Facebook HELD By Tanner Email List CPTSD Medicine Podcast  

Today, we are joined by the Founder and Managing Director of Quintrix, Krishna Kumar. Investing in early talent is beginning to become more popular in the industry and we discuss whether it's better to groom in-house talent or source externally, why businesses need to think more about early talent in the long term, why many candidates are falling short of the mark, and how companies can better support their new recruits. We also examine Krishna's game-changing post-deployment framework, before he tells us why he'll always live life by one particular quote from Bill Gates.     Key Points From This Episode:   Introducing the Founder and Managing Director of Quintrix Solutions, Krishna Kumar.  The content that Krishna is enjoying at Talent Acquisition Week.  How investing in early talent is gaining more traction in the industry.  What Quintrix Solutions does as a company.  Whether it makes more sense to groom in-house talent or source externally. How a business's short-term goals may negatively impact its early talent strategy.

We've never seen this level of interest in these topics in the past, so I'm super pumped about that.” — @candid_krishna [0:01:23]   “This conference is so exciting because people are now truly starting to think about talent from a long-term, pipeline-building perspective versus a just-in-time, instant-gratification mindset.” — @candid_krishna [0:06:34]   “Career development, or lack thereof, is the number one reason for people to leave their jobs and explore other opportunities. So, you want to make sure that the candidates are constantly receiving the support, feedback, and career development to be successful.” — @candid_krishna [0:11:20]   “This post-deployment framework, which I think is very unique to this industry, is going to be a game changer.” — @candid_krishna [0:12:29]   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:   Krishna Kumar on LinkedIn  Krishna Kumar on Twitter Quintrix Solutions Talent Acquisition Week Talk Talent to Me Hired

When someone coincidentally approached the Gilads for a loan, they incorporated Green Block and wrote their first loan.

Start your journey to personal and leadership transformation now!   Key Points from This Episode: Dov talks about his backstory and upbringing. What life experiences did Dov go through to escape the poverty he was born into? In his life journey, education in various disciplines, including spirituality, psychology, neuroscience, quantum physics, and business, among others, has been key to Dov's personal and professional growth and success. Dov explains why multidisciplinary learners and polymaths will rule the future. Dov emphasizes the importance for business and organizational leaders to lead by example, actively engage and take personal responsibility if they want to elevate company culture.  Dov tells us why people do what they do even when what they do does not make sense. Dov defines the “emotional source code”. How does identifying the “emotional source code” lead to the discovery of one's true identity and meaning and ultimately, the transformation of the self? Dov clarifies the role of tragedy or crisis in an individual's personal transformation. Dov defines what crises are and how a person may be actualized by a transformative  crisis no matter its magnitude, big or small. Dov highlights the importance of listening and paying attention to the soul's whispering. Dov answers the Rare Air Questionnaire.   Tweetables: “It's in the stopping and paying attention that you are in communication with the highest and greatest part of yourself if you can listen.”    “Everybody you meet is feeling pain, and they're trying to feel better.”   “When people ask me my purpose, the simplicity of it is this, to serve those who will never know my name, and whose name I may never know.”   “If you want to have a better culture within your organization, look in the mirror. The answer is always in the mirror.”   “The identity that you attach to yourself is more important than life. You'll give your life up for your identity.”   “Identity does not change without crisis.”   “Our soul is always whispering to our most authentic and soulful path but we're busy and it's noisy, we don't really pay attention to the soul's whispering.”    “You can decide when the crisis is, and you can decide how big the crisis is. The problem is, because of our ego and identity addiction, it often has to be massive. It doesn't always have to be.”   “I elevate my life through curiosity. And the first level of curiosity is how can I love this person.”   “Love has to have hard boundaries that say, this is what healthy love looks like.”   "Stay curious, my friends. Stay curious."    “You want to be a better human being? Walk through the world, giving people dignity. See other human beings. Don't just see the people you're trying to impress.”   “Smile. Be kind, be gentle, be compassionate, be giving. If you're going to give something, give dignity, the dignity of seeing the human being as a whole.”    Links Mentioned: Dov Baron website Connect with Dov Baron Dov Baron's books Dov Baron's Podcasts "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran "The Road Less Traveled" by M.

By investing for the long term, investors can ride out short-term market fluctuations and take advantage of the compounding effect of returns over time. This makes passive investing an ideal choice for many. But how can it be sustainable in the long-run?In this first of a two-part series, Charles Carillo of Harborside Partners talks to Life Bridge Capital's Sam Rust and explains what strategies he believes will make passive investing a huge opportunity for both new and veteran investors. Key Points From This Episode: What got him started in passive investing?What is his advice to new investors when it comes to selecting areas to invest in?What motivated him to self-manage his portfolio before?What areas should investors look out for?Why should investors stick to their business plan?What was his business plan during the recession?How does he communicate with his clients?What are the ways that he nurtures his clients? Tweetables:“It's very important to buy in areas that are growing, no matter where you are.”“It's really important for investors to know when they're investing, especially in the multifamily industry. Invest in areas where there's population growth, job growth, and where there's money being reinvested into the community.”“If you have a business plan, stick to it when you're putting money in and when you're taking money out.”“Let people know that that's how it's going and what you're doing to get it to. The final equity multiple is the whole goal.”“The whole project is getting out there and getting distributions on the way.”“Other people want to get more involved, and they want answers faster, and they want to get their questions in front and center. So make sure that you can answer it.”Link Mentioned in Today's Episode:Charles Carillo on LinkedInHarborside Partners About Charles Carillo Charles Carillo is a managing partner at real estate syndication firm Harborside Partners.

Today our guest, Kevin Amolsch, shares his real estate journey as an investor and private money lender. He learned early on how to buy properties with owner-type financing.

While healthcare professionals top the list of highest-paid occupations in the US with median salaries of $208,000 per year, research shows that physician burnout rate is at an all-time high. Overworked and stretched thin, some doctors end up disengaged from their careers and are looking for alternative ways to earn income so that they can gain back time for themselves and for things that matter most. This is true for many busy, career-oriented individuals across professions who are losing control of their lives and their time and have become enslaved to their jobs and duties.   Dr. Nancy Huynh of Clear Vision Investing joins us today to talk in detail about this predicament that many of her colleagues are facing. She believes that one of the ways to support professionals and fight burnout is to create income streams from passive investments. Nancy makes the case for passive real estate investing that can bring in cash flow regularly and allow a physician or any professional to choose to reduce work hours in their workplaces and spend them purposefully.

Have you ever thought about what you can do to get into your creative zone, do what you love, and pursue your passion? Life can hit like a ton of bricks, and when it does, it's easy to lose track of doing the things that bring you joy. Today's guest, Brittany Atkinson, is a lifelong friend of ours who has used her passion for creativity and art to get her through some tremendously difficult moments. After being interested in art from an early age, a tragic incident forced Brittany to step away from what she loves most. The poetic ending: her passion for art and being creative is the very thing that brought her back up from the pits of despair. We talk about how Shakespeare inspired Brittany's work, why she believes that we are all in control of our own happiness, why you need to be disciplined when doing what you love, and why slow and steady is the best type of progress. If you'd like to be inspired to start creating again and to learn more about how a daily commitment can lead to incredible success, tune in now! Key Points From This Episode: A very warm welcome to a great friend of ours and today's guest, Brittany Atkinson. When Brittany started to immerse herself in her art.Shakespeare as motivation to pursue the arts. Why she decided to temporarily step away from the arts. How creativity helped lift her from a deep depression. What happened after Brittany had children and the challenges of a changing body.Being responsible for your own happiness and future. What inspired Brittany to come up with her current style of art. How her artistic flair manifests in her home decor and fashion sense. The importance of being disciplined when doing what you love. Why slow and steady always wins the race, and a reminder to be gentle on yourself. How Brittany's commitment to a daily practice set her up for success.  Tweetables: “It wasn't until 3rd grade that I started figuring out, ‘Oh! I really like the arts.' Because I would draw, I would paint, I loved theater, I loved movies. I loved everything that had to do with expressing yourself, being vulnerable and creative.” — @BrittanyHoeft [0:03:04] “In moments of grief, it's so important to find something that is for yourself, that you love to do, where you can rest from the reality of the tragedy, where your mind doesn't have to be constantly consumed with it, where your body can relax. For me, that was creativity.” — @BrittanyHoeft [0:08:28] “In a lot of ways, us as artists, we try to discover something about ourselves through the creative process. There's a learning journey as we move forward in our development as an artist.” — @BrittanyHoeft [0:18:14] “Buying something because it moves me or because I love it or because it represents something that I see within myself, that's the kind of work that you want in your home. And that's what makes it so much more personal.” — @BrittanyHoeft [0:23:30] “You can try to be disciplined in an area that you're not passionate about, and it's not going to work.
