Nunawading Basketball was established in 1969. In 1979, a Nunawading Spectres men's team entered the National Basketball League for its inaugural season. Barry Barnes would coach the team during every NBL season until the team decided to move into the CBD to facilitate more fans and in doing so were renamed the Eastside Melbourne Spectres. The Nunawading Spectres would narrowly miss out on an NBL Grand Final appearance due to countback in 1979 and then were runners-up in 1981 to Launceston City Casino. The Spectres' opening-night roster included Bill Palmer, Fox, Brendan Joyce, Alan Black, Dean Templeton and Barry Barnes as coach. Six men who were to play significant roles in shaping the NBL during it's for 20 seasons. Palmer became general manager of the league in the mid-90s and took the game to new heights. Fox, Joyce, Black and Templeton became NBL head coaches with a combined 565-499 win-loss record and four NBL Coach of the Year awards (two each for Black and Joyce). Among other players who wore the red, white and blue for Nunawading in the NBL were Damian Keogh, Dean Uthoff, Bruce Bolden, Ian Stacker, Steve Lunardon, Chuck Harmison, Vince Hinchen, Darren Lucas and Robert Scrigni.

About the Episode On this episode, I’m joined by real estate entrepreneur, speaker, coach, trainer, and Ylopo Realtor in Residence, Barry Jenkins. With a career that has spanned over 2 decades, and the unique setup of running two teams at the same time, Barry brings a ton of experience to the table. His real estate knowledge led him to become a consultant at Ylopo, and now he has a high-level role. There’s a lot of outside influences coming into the real estate space, and it has been great for our industry to get refreshed by disruptors. But at the same time, these tech disruptors coming into our industry, also need a real estate agent’s insider knowledge to bridge the gap between tech and real estate. This is the space Barry has stepped into by partnering with Ylopo. Barry began his career at the age of 18 and has spanned two decades. He currently runs two teams in Virginia Beach, Va. and his teams consistently produce over 200-250 a year for several years in a row. This is with Barry in the office part-time. He is also an executive with Ylopo as the Realtor in Residence where he also trains their users. His passion is Wife, two children, and their little dog. His systems allow him to leverage technology so he can spend time with them. No matter how much the real estate industry changes, there’ll always be massive opportunities for the agents and companies who come from a place of contribution, and keep our fingers on the pulse of consumer needs. What the consumer needs now more than ever are agents who can start talking to them earlier in the buying process, especially when there are so many options and it can be hard for them to know what to do. If we provide this guidance, we’ll always be relevant. In Today’s Episode, We Talk About; 01:05 - What got Barry interested in real estate, and how he went from selling shoes to real estate. - How he runs two real estate teams at the same time. - Why Barry wanted a tech-driven team. - What it takes to achieve success in real estate. - Barry’s role as Realtor in residence at Ylopo. - What Barry’s excited about, what he has changed his might on and what many people don’t know about him.

On today's episode we are so happy to be joined by none other than Barry Ritholtz! As the founder and CIO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, host of the Masters in Business Podcast and regular financial blogger for more than 15 years, Barry is someone we have been dying to speak to on the show and who we have taken loads of inspiration from over the years. We talk to Barry about his own podcast which has been going strong for years now and is just about to reach its 250th episode! He also explains the beginnings of his firm and how his role has evolved in it since it started. From there, the conversation turns to the different parts of an investing philosophy we and Barry pretty much share and we ruminate on the state of the financial industry in US and Canada currently. We all feel that it is surprising that brokerage firms still find business in this day and age, when it has been shown so many times, for an extended period of time to be a far inferior business model for clients. Barry offers some pretty sensible advice on how to pursue financial growth in the long term and shares how RWM approaches client acquisition.

Episode 183: Barry Schwartz - The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less Barry Schwartz studies the link between economics and psychology, offering startling insights into modern life. Lately, working with Ken Sharpe, he's studying wisdom. In his 2004 book The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz tackles one of the great mysteries of modern life: Why is it that societies of great abundance — where individuals are offered more freedom and choice (personal, professional, material) than ever before — are now witnessing a near-epidemic of depression? Conventional wisdom tells us that greater choice is for the greater good, but Schwartz argues the opposite: He makes a compelling case that the abundance of choice in today's western world is actually making us miserable. Infinite choice is paralyzing, Schwartz argues, and exhausting to the human psyche.It leads us to set unreasonably high expectations, question our choices before we even make them and blame our failures entirely on ourselves. His relatable examples, from consumer products (jeans, TVs, salad dressings) to lifestyle choices (where to live, what job to take, who and when to marry), underscore this central point: Too much choice undermines happiness.

Have you wondered what makes a company a great place to work? Is it something you should be striving for within your own organization? Our guest for today, Barry Glassman is a renowned expert on company culture. His company, Glassman Wealth, has been voted as the best place to work in Washington DC by multiple local publications. On this episode of Grow My Revenue Barry joins us to talk about what makes his company's culture a great place for employees and for their clients, why having a purposeful culture is so important and how to show people what your company is about rather than showing them. Listen to this episode and discover: - What questions should you ask to find out what your clients really think of you? - Why Barry prefers steady growth over quantum leaps. - How his passions for cooking and photography translate to business success. - What does he wish more perspective clients would ask? - The story of the Starbucks gift cards, and what you can learn. And so much more… Episode Overview While Barry is an exceptional financial advisor most of our conversation on today's episode was about the culture he and his team have created at Glassman Wealth. In the Washington, D.C. area the Glassman company is known as the best place to work in the area. Creating that culture began a few years ago, Barry and his team wanted to create a purposeful culture. They wanted to be very clear about why they are doing what they are doing, and who is on board with what they do in terms of employees. They also wanted to delineate what experience they wanted the company to have internally, and after all of that, then and only then would they look at what they are doing for their clients. Because of all of this shows up both internally and externally they asked external questions to find out what clients valued about them, and how those clients perceived about Glassman Wealth. Specifically a question they asked was: How would you describe us to your friends? The answers to this question, which you can also use, showed them what was valuable about the firm and how their clients saw them. Barry has also found another key to being a great place to work: show people, don't tell them what you're about. The Glassman Wealth firm prefers to listen to the questions clients ask, and answer them. They then share the information from those answers with other clients, This is vastly different than a lot of people in the financial services industry who simply want to show people how smart they are, rather than show they care about their clients. The firm is smart and innovative, but they take approach of showing and not telling you that is who they are. On their web site, for instance, they share videos explaining how they think about investments. Those videos educate their clients, prospective clients and the world on how things work. The videos show that Glassman Wealth open, honest, transparent and also that they are smart and innovative! This is also what Barry calls "interrupting the pattern". Wealth management firms all say the same thing; everyone is about telling you they stand for trust, objectivity and that relationships are important to them. They all are saying the same thing, which leaves potential clients searching to find out what is different about each prospective firm. So Glassman Wealth interrupts the pattern of what those potential clients are expecting to see, and they set themselves apart from everyone else. Also on today's episode Barry shares his one piece of advice on how to make your company a great place to work and how to build a recipe for success within your business model. There's so much to learn from him on this show so listen in and then take action to implement his suggestions. Discover more at http://www.ianaltman.com/business-cast/
