About Jacob Garza Jacob Daniel Garza wears many hats — literally and figuratively. He's a family-first, high-performance sales professional based in Houston, Texas. A Senior Client Advisor at BMW of West Houston, he's a proud father of three, devoted husband, uncle to many, and doodle dad. Known for always rocking a Houston sports hat — every day, on the showroom floor — Jacob is part of a greater hat community in the Houston area and is a die-hard fan who never misses a big game. He credits the car business with saving his life, but becoming a father gave him purpose.

Ultimately, Jacob challenges listeners to think big and act intentionally — because he is living proof that you are a product of your last 1,000 days. It's never too late to become who you're meant to be. Just don't look up one day and realize that in chasing everything… you lost what matters most. The Key to Mastering the Car Sales Industry: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Success in the car sales industry requires mastering product knowledge, understanding customer needs, and building lasting relationships. Innovative use of data mining and equity mining strategies can significantly boost sales figures and personal branding. Achievement and mentorship go hand-in-hand; utilizing personal success to uplift others creates a thriving, sustainable sales environment. Mastering the Automotive Sales Process Within the competitive landscape of automotive sales, many individuals wrestle with prioritizing tasks and managing a burgeoning clientele list. According to Sean V. Bradley, host of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast and an authority in automotive sales, a significant pitfall for many is not mastering prioritization and multitasking. He states, "Most salespeople don't know how to deal with multiple things going on. Most salespeople don't know how to prioritize." Failure to manage these skills effectively leads to common missteps like oversight in client follow-up, resulting in lost sales opportunities. Jacob Garza, a guest on the podcast who has achieved remarkable sales metrics, echoes Bradley's sentiments, emphasizing meticulous CRM management. For Garza, mastery began in the BDC (Business Development Center), where crafting and managing client appointments was vital to his success. "You absolutely need to know your CRM. You need to know how to get the information, how to properly log it," he advises. For those aspiring to excel, particularly in high-pressure sales environments, learning how to track customer interactions and utilizing software efficiently is crucial. CRM platforms not only streamline the sales process but also ensure that no opportunity falls through the cracks, hence proving integral for both seasoned and budding sales professionals. Harnessing the Power of Equity Mining One of the more innovative strategies discussed during the podcast is the use of equity mining. Garza champions this practice, emphasizing its transformative impact on his sales approach. "Equity mining is the biggest one for me," he asserts. For him, focusing on customers that are already engaged with the brand and dealership yields higher conversion rates and larger commissionchecks. By leveraging Automotive Mastermind, a data mining and equity mining tool, Garza proactively engages with clients who have high-paying interest rates or are nearing the end of their warranties and lease terms. He notes, “I'm calling you today to ask you if I can get it off your hands…I would love to offer you top dollar for your car.” This strategic, data-driven outreach can effectively restructure a customer's financial situation in their favor while simultaneously enhancing the dealership's turnover. The implication is clear: tools like Automotive Mastermind not only streamline the identification of viable leads but also foster a mutually beneficial transaction landscape for both dealer and customer. Innovating Through Mentorship and Personal Branding Garza's ambition extends beyond individual success, underscoring the importance of mentorship in paving the road for aspiring sales professionals. By developing the Junior Sales Program, he consciously shares his expertise to uplift others, stating, "I wanted to be the person I needed when I was 22, 23 years old." This program illustrates that achievement in sales can also serve as a catalyst for transformative change within an organization and the industry. Mentorship instills confidence, equips individuals with critical skills, and provides invaluable industry insight—ultimately shaping a dealership that's not only thriving but is also viewed as a beacon of excellence. "You need to optimize your life and optimize your time to do that and only that," Garza admonishes. His approach to personal branding isn't merely about individual accolades; it's intrinsically linked to the success he manifests in others. Future-minded individuals in sales are encouraged to emulate this strategy, as it positions them as thought leaders and valuable mentors, fostering a collaborative, growth-oriented culture. Success in the automotive sales industry is predicated on a mastery of essential skills, innovative use of tools, and a genuine commitment to fostering community within the ranks. Learning to craft and sustain a thriving sales enterprise isn't merely a matter of technique; it's an intricate combination of skill, strategy, and empathetic leadership. The conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Jacob Garza in the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast underscores these points—highlighting not just the how-to of mastering sales, but also why personal excellence and community-building create a legacy of enduring success.

Episode Summary: Today, we sit down with Carl Spinnler, the former owner of BluTex, a West Houston-based residential swimming pool maintenance and repair company based in West Houston established in 2012. Carl got his “start” in the industry when he got his first job as a lifeguard at the age of 15, after which he began doing winter maintenance for local commercial pools. A friend eventually reached out to Carl to clean his pool. A decade later, that friend remained a customer of Carl's—along with the many others he has built up over the years as the head of BluTex. Listen in as Carl looks back on his journey from pool cleaner to owner of his own LLC, all the way to his decision to let go of the company in order to begin the next phase of his career. He speaks in particular on his hiring strategy as BluTex began to see considerable growth, and how he was able to successfully exit the business. Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn: 01:36 - How Carl got in touch with Pool Chasers 06:07 - Carl's journey in the pool industry 14:27 - Why Carl decided to start his own business 18:31 - Making his first hire at 45 pools 22:27 - The story behind the BluTex name and logo 28:17 - Building the business infrastructure 37:52 - Why and how Carl exited his business 44:33 - Next steps after selling BluTex Sponsors: Leslie's Poolside Tech Connect with Guest: Website Instagram Connect with Pool Chasers: Website Instagram Facebook Facebook Group Twitter YouTube Patreon Key Quotes from Episode: It's a total game-changer if you can hire someone who can do a job better than you can in that position.

Meyerland, built on former rice fields in southwest Houston, was one of Houston's earliest master-planned communities promising to bring suburban life relatively close to the city. But the neighborhood has been repeatedly ravaged by floods, with some of the worst damage occurring in Hurricane Harvey five years ago. Even though Meyerland shows us the repercussions of building in the floodplain and many communities throughout Houston are still recovering from Harvey, real estate developers continue to build in floodprone areas with nearly 1 in 8 houses built in the floodplain in Houston now. Development continues to blossom in West Houston throughout the floodplain in areas like Katy Prairie, but this time with newer, better building standards than what was required 50 years ago when Meyerland was constructed. But are the new standards enough to protect homeowners? Looped In hosts R.A. Schuetz and Marissa Luck sit down with Houston Chronicle's county reporter Jen Rice to discuss how Houston's development standards could potentially be putting property owners in flood-prone areas at risk.

Seismique, in far west Houston, bills itself as both an “art museum” and an “intergalactic playground.” Inside a former Bed Bath & Beyond, more than 40 hallucinogenic, made-for-Instagram rooms house wildly different experiences born of everything from projectors and LEDs to crochet. The dizzying experience is less like a traditional art museum, and more like a concert, an escape room or an amusement park.

Matthew 5:14-15 (KJV) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 2 Peter 3:10 (KJV) But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 1 Timothy 4:1-6 (KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. [6] If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine (So there must be bad doctrine) whereunto thou hast attained. 1 Timothy 1:3-10 (KJV) As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, [4] Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. [5] Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: [6] From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; [7] Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. [8] But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; [9] Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, [10] For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; Titus 1:9 (KJV) Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. Titus 2:1-2 (KJV) But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: [2] That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience. Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart is established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. Jude 1:1-25 (KJV) Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: [2] Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. [3] Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. [4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [5] I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. [7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in l

Isaiah 6:3 (KJV) And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Romans 8:32 (KJV) …how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? He said, “I will give you all things.” Psalm 2:8 (KJV) Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Colossians 3:1-2 (KJV) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

After the bodies of 22-year-old Cheryl Henry and 21-year-old Andy Atkinson were found, on August 23rd and 24th 1990 respectively, Houston Homicide Detective Billy Belk was called to the scene to begin the investigation into their murders. Alongside other homicide detectives, Belk scoured the city for leads – first questioning and taking blood samples from all Andy and Cheryl's known friends and patrons of the bars they frequented. Nothing turned up, even after examining robberies and sexual assaults that, like these Lover's Lane Murders, took place in West Houston. Though the initial investigation was painstaking and thorough, it brought with it nothing but dead ends.

Chris's dad encounters a spirit at his job, the media is corrupting our brains and the Pentecostals of West Houston are getting us hyped to go to church. This episode is crazy.
Steven Deyo is the Vice President of West Houston Electric, and leading their current expansion from Katy, Texas to Los Angeles, California. He shares how his family-owned and operated, third-generation company has made the transition from commercial new builds to residential. He also highlights how they are identifying and capitalizing on new opportunities in the market. Growing Up in the Trades Steven grew up working in the company as a kid. At 10 years old, he asked his dad for an interview. He began as a tech, became a journeyman, and worked his way up into a leadership position. In addition to twisting wires as a profession, he is also a guitarist and songwriter. These aspirations coupled with the budding opportunity in our increasingly electricity-powered society inspired him to expand the family business to Los Angeles. “I came out here and became a California-licensed electrical contractor… knowing there's a lot of technology coming with solar, and electric cars, and their future, I definitely thought it would be a good idea to have my contracting license out here and continue the business in TX, so we are able to develop in both cities, in LA and Houston.” Identifying Opportunities Steven was only a one-year-old when his parents won the bid to wire George W. Bush Senior and Barbara Bush's home in 1991. Since then, they have had a storied roster of high-end customers. However, because of these high-profile homes, their reputation grew and demand across neighborhoods began to rise. This catapulted them to pivot their business in order to focus on residential. They saw this as an opportunity for long-term relationships with their customers, troubleshooting common problems, ensuring important safety upgrades, and providing precise, careful service within each unique home. Of course, there were tensions and growing pains that come with every transition, but Steven credits their success to his family's work ethic. He emphasizes the lessons that going out and doing these jobs with his father taught him, and how this leadership from the top down helped them establish clear processes that would help their team and serve their clients best. “I definitely learned about gathering a team and partnering with the right people to make it happen. It's a lot of processes that are going into getting new customers and developing our market. So, over time learning from the companies that we work with that help us to make it happen, doing podcasts, also listening to podcasts like this one, this let me gather a lot of content and learn from industry experts... I try to attend trade conventions, expos where I can learn, I'm part of coaching groups where they teach us this material, Blue Collar Success Group is one that I'm having success with.” Building a Culture Building a culture begins with hiring the right people. Steven acknowledges that it is tough and challenging, but these key pillars help make it happen: Know what you're looking for in an employee.Follow up with people.Always be recruiting and looking.Maintain an organic presence on digital and online platforms.Provide incentive-based pay for technicians and team. Your company values also have a profound impact on your culture. Steven credits hard work, integrity, communication, and serving each customer as if they were the only customer for shaping the customer and employee experience at West Houston Electric. Expansion Driven by Technological Boom Steven shares that the expansion to Los Angeles is a different, separate entity from West Houston Electric, but will share the same processes and values that make their original location successful. Some of the trends that inspired them to expand and capitalize on consistent developments in their industry were: The increasing adoption of the Internet of Things and smart homes.Older homes in need of electrical renovations and code compliance.LED lighting.Security systems.Electric cars.Energy conservation and sustainability: generators, solar systems. Steven's advice to those pursuing growth and expansion during this time is to surround yourself with people who will hold you accountable. “Be clear on your goals and partner with people that can help you be accountable to those goals and check on them regularly.”

As with life, you can't really predict anything. No natural disasters could save you from the possibility of acquiring damage. That is why it is important to think about insuring your properties in case calamities happen. Keith gets down to the details about flood insurance – what you need to know about it and how to go through it. He shares some personal experiences with Harvey that will give you time to reflect on the possible consequences you may meet along the way. Furthermore, he gives a great overview by covering flood insurance from the perspective of lenders as well as the state. — Listen to the podcast here: The Pros And Cons Of Getting Flood Insurance Flood insurance is a topic that’s near and dear to my heart for a few reasons. Number one, my wife and I went through our own flood insurance claim on our primary residence back in April of 2009. No named windstorm, no Harvey, no Rita, none of that. Just a freak springtime thunderstorm that sat over West Houston and dumped a tremendous amount of water. That’s one reason. The next reason is the flood policy through the https://www.floodsmart.gov/ (National Flood Insurance Program). You’ll buy it through State Farm, Farmers, Allstate or whoever, but it’s relatively cheap. They sell the policy and they will administer any claims. It’s all backed by FEMA, the https://www.fema.gov/ (Federal Emergency Management Agency). That’s why it’s cheap. It’s a government subsidized. This is one case where as an investor you have to take advantage of the subsidy and the relatively low price it would cost your borrower to have the flood insurance. In my daytime and my real life, not just on TV, I'm a licensed insurance adjuster. I hold property casually, that is. I hold licenses in four states and reciprocity through a whole bunch of others. In the last few years, I've adjusted several commercial and industrial flood claims whose settlements total in excess of $160 million. I've seen some flood claims and what it can do and have handled a lot of other people’s money during that process. The moral of the story is after Harvey, I now demand flood insurance on all of my notes. People say, “It’s not in a floodplain.” Back in 2009 when my house flooded, we were fortunate enough to have good neighbors across the street from us who only took on a little bit of water in one corner of their room. We had a young baby at the time. The neighbor said, “Come on over.” We waded across the street. We were talking with the neighbors and they asked if we had flood insurance. I said, “Yes, I've always had it. My dad beat that in my brain. If you’re going to live in the Houston area, you better have flood insurance. There’s no getting around it.” I asked them if they had flood insurance and they said, “No, we don’t because we don’t live in a floodplain.” I pointed to my house across the street and I said, “Neither do we.” If you live in a low-lying area or near the coast or river, you should go ahead and expect that those flood policies are going to cost more. The likelihood of a 100-year event or a 50-year event damaging a property is pretty high. If you’re not in a flood zone, it is relatively cheap and you can go to the National Flood Insurance Program to find out more or call your agent and then talk to them about it. I'll treat this like any other real estate investment. We bought the house in early 2006. It was 1,500 square feet. Nice little ranch-style home in Spring Branch area of Houston. It had an 8,500-square foot lot, 1,500 square feet of living space. We paid $120,000 for it. We lived in it for a few years before we flooded. That's the beauty of insurance; whether it be flood property or not, funds do not matter as a...
