In 2003, Nick Prefontaine was in a snowboarding accident that left him in a coma for over 3 weeks. The doctors told his parents that he probably wouldn't walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 3 months later, he was running out of Franciscan Children's hospital. Now Nick speaks to groups that benefit from his message of overcoming adversity.   Nick grew up in the real estate industry and got started at an early age. Most notably, he was knocking on Pre-Foreclosure doors at 16, doing up to 50 doors a day. This experience helped shape Nick's real estate career. When someone opens the door you better have something compelling to say.   Now, Nick specializes in working with lease purchase buyers to get them into a home and on the path to home ownership. That includes working with them throughout the entire deal which ends in them being able to get their own loan. Getting buyers to the finish line is something Nick and the entire Pre Property Solutions team take pride in. That is something that separates them from their competition. Regardless of a buyer's credit situation, he looks at their complete financial picture and comes up with a plan to get them into a home.   What you will learn in this episode: How Nick experienced a devastating snowboarding accident in 2003 that left him in a three-week coma, and how he had to learn how to walk, talk, eat and shower again Why Nick's refusal to give up and his ability to persevere through challenges with tenacity and courage helped him recover his life after his accident Nick shares how he initially got started in real estate two years after his snowboarding accident, following in Chris's entrepreneurial footsteps How to get a free copy of the ebook “What's Your Excuse” written by Nick Prefontaine and Sgt. Shilo Harris How Nick got his real estate license in March of 2008 right as the real estate market and economy were crashing, and how he learned through trial by fire Nick discusses how the family team works hard to help buyers persevere through challenges and get to the finish line, and how that sets them apart Why it is important for Nick to be honest with buyers and explain that it does take work to buy a home, and why ethical business practices aren't negotiable for Nick Why a failure to take decisive action is the number one challenge Nick sees in new investing students, and why pushing through your fear is vital Why Nick won't consider putting a buyer in a home unless they have at least a 3% down payment and their income exceeds 3x the monthly payment on the home Why waiting to get into real estate investing until the market slows down will only hold you back from getting onto your path toward success   Resources: Listen to Nick Prefontaine's first appearance in the Smart Real Estate Coach podcast episode 44: https://smartrealestatecoachpodcast.com/podcasts/family-cast-1/ Free “What's Your Excuse” ebook: www.SmartRealEstateCoach.com/gifts Check out the Not Just A Transaction podcast, hosted by Nick Prefontaine and Zach Beach: www.prepropertysolutions.com/podcast/   Additional resources: Follow Chris and Zach on Club House to learn even more about deal structures and how to get 3 paydays from your real estate investments.

Apple Podcasts Rate and Review for SpotOn Nikolaus Suhr is the CEO and Co-Founder of KASKO, an insurtech company that offers an agile insurance product powered by API. They promise to make sure your IT empowers you and your business instead of being the one thing that holds your systems setup back. He comes from a family of insurers, allowing him to have a heart for the insurance industry from a young age. Nikolaus also has over a decade of experience working with insurance brokers and has served in critical roles in business development, risk management, and startup consultation. Nikolaus joins us to discuss how KASKO can help companies scale fast through insurance service optimization. He discusses what inspired him to join the insurance industry, his family history of insurers, and why he decided to start KASKO. He describes why insurance is still primarily a sales game despite the number of new technologies and tools currently available and explains why partnering with other companies fast-tracked their company growth. He also shares the niche they want to fill in the industry and what KASKO offers regarding on-time insurance delivery. "Insurance just works slightly differently than any other financial product. It's about trust and appreciating how hard people had to work to gain that trust." - Nikolaus Suhr Today on Spot On Insurance: How young Nick was when his entrepreneurial spirit started. The reservations he had when he was being groomed to run their family business. The strategies he developed to get where he is today. Why insurtech is mostly about sales and knocking on doors. Why Nick decided to start KASKO. Why partnering with insurers allowed their company to grow. How a company can customize their services without being niche. Why it was brilliant for their company to attract US clients who want to do business in Europe. What's in store for KASKO in the near future? Key Takeaways: The cost of delivering insurance at the right point in time is very high. There's so much tech out there, but it's about getting the word out and making those partnerships.

bengreenfieldfitness.com/nick No trip to San Diego would be complete without interviewing at least one Navy SEAL, which is exactly what I got up to on a recent trip to San Diego. Nick Norris (@nick_norris1981) is a graduate of both the United States Naval Academy and Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL (BUD/S) Class 247. Upon completion of SEAL training in 2004, Nick assumed progressively higher positions of leadership within Naval Special Warfare. His deployed roles included combat advisor to Iraqi and Afghan military units, Cross Functional Team Leader, and Ground Force Commander during combat operation in both Iraq and Afghanistan.   Nick was most recently assigned to Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command — SEAL Qualification Training (SQT) as Officer in Charge prior to transitioning off Active Duty. Originally from Chicago, Nick received his Bachelor in Science from the United States Naval Academy in 2003 and his Masters of Science in Real Estate from The University of San Diego in 2013. He is the Executive Director of the C4 Foundation, which provides support and resources through science-based programs to active duty Navy SEALs and their families and is a Board Member of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, a non profit focused on ending the veteran suicide epidemic via resources, research, and advocacy related to psychedelic assisted therapy.   Nick is also the Co-Founder and CEO of Protekt Products, a wellness company that is committed to positively impacting customer health via both personal care products and nutritional supplements.

As the real estate industry has evolved, we’ve been trained to focus on who owns the data. And Zillow’s acquisition of ShowingTime has many concerned about sharing their data with the proptech giant. But what if hoarding your data is not the only way to compete with a company like Zillow? What if it’s not really about access to the data but what you do with it? Nick Bailey is the Chief Customer Officer at RE/MAX. With nearly 25 years of industry experience, Nick served as an agent, broker and proptech vendor before becoming the head of a major real estate franchise. On this episode of Industry Relations, Nick joins Rob and Greg to share his take on Zillow’s acquisition of ShowingTime and what’s behind the industry’s emotionally-charged reaction.   Nick offers insight on how the data Zillow acquired was already publicly available, explaining why that information doesn’t necessarily give the tech company a competitive advantage and reminding us that it’s not unusual for companies at scale to offer various products and services to the industry at large. Listen in for Nick’s perspective on what we can do to improve the process of buying or selling a home for consumers and find out why you shouldn’t panic about Zillow’s acquisition of ShowingTime. What’s Discussed:   Nick’s background as an agent, broker, tech vendor and head of a major real estate franchise Why Nick sees Zillow’s acquisition of ShowingTime as one tech company acquiring another to make the process of buying and selling homes easier for consumers How ShowingTime’s market share influenced the industry’s emotionally-charged reaction to its acquisition Nick’s argument that the data Zillow has acquired was already publicly available How Nick addresses the objection that the ShowingTime acquisition forces agents and brokers to provide Zillow with a competitive advantage How it’s not unusual for companies at scale to offer various products and services (e.g.: RE/MAX’s acquisition of Motto Mortgage) What Nick is doing to educate agents around the spirit of cooperation in the industry How Nick thinks about whether Zillow is a RE/MAX competitor What the real estate industry can do to improve the fragmented process of buying or selling a home Nick’s insight on what differentiates RE/MAX in a competitive industry that includes a growing number of iBuyers The trend toward a greater concentration of power among fewer agents and how that might contribute to the panic around Zillow Nick’s advice for MLS, franchisor and large brokerage CEOs on using data to identify trends and create contingency plans accordingly   Connect with Nick:   Nick at RE/MAX Nick on LinkedIn   Connect with Rob and Greg:  Rob’s Website Greg’s Website Resources: ShowingTime’s Press Release on Its Acquisition by Zillow Nick’s Video on Zillow’s Acquisition of ShowingTime Market Leader Rob’s Post on Zillow, ShowingTime & Paranoid Realtors First App Steve Murray at REAL Trends Motto Mortgage NAR Code of Ethics We Are RE/MAX on Facebook Brad Inman’s Piece on Zillow & ShowingTime Gary Keller’s 2021 Family Reunion Vision Speech Recap The Art of the CMA: Win Hearts, Minds, and Loyalty by Mastering Real Estate’s Most Versatile Tool by Greg Robertson  Dave Liniger at RE/MAX   Our Sponsors:    Cloud Agent Suite Notorious VIP

On this episode, you will hear the Self Made Strategies of Nick Bayer, CEO and Founder of Saxbys Coffee.  Nick Bayer has always been in the business of bringing people together, whether it’s as one of Philadelphia Business Journal’s "Most Admired CEOs" or as a consummate team captain since Little League. So when he created Saxbys in 2005, Nick never really considered it to be a coffee company — instead, it’s a social impact company fueled by amazing food, beverage and hospitality. Philadelphia-based Saxbys has since grown from one corner cafe to nearly 30 units with a singular mission: MAKE LIFE BETTER. Saxbys is a hospitality business fueled by great coffee. We pair the local, friendly atmosphere of a neighborhood coffee shop with consistently delicious products you’d find at a big name coffee place. Today, that team spans over 700 members across the Northeast that represent the change-makers of tomorrow. To that point, Nick introduced Saxbys’ pioneering Experiential Learning Platform (ELP) in 2015 in partnership with Drexel University — the nation’s first entirely student-run cafe where students earn full academic credit and wages through a university cooperative education platform. Nick’s vision for the platform is to embolden the next generation of entrepreneurs, providing undergrad students with tangible experience as a supplement to traditional classroom learning. In three short years, one ELP cafe has blossomed to twelve.

One of the major things that plants do is help connect us with nature. I think as plant parents, once we use plants to reconnect with ourselves and make our homes look beautiful, they also get us thinking more about nature and the earth and how important it’s preservation is. So today’s episode is exploring just that: plant parenthood and low waste living, and what it means to make intentional decisions about preserving our planet while taking care of ourselves and our plants. I think we are all anxiously looking at 2021 and getting excited about the changes that will come. This is the time to set new years resolutions and just think about how we want to show up in 2021 for ourselves and I think more importantly, there are global conversations happening about how we can show up for those around us and the environment.   As I continue to fall deeper in love with plants, I’m finding that I’m falling deeper in love with nature itself and feeling a stronger sense of responsibility to take care of our planet. I’m so excited to welcome Nick Cutsumpas of @farmernicknyc  to the podcast and share this conversation with you and to inform and encourage our community to think about how we can apply these concepts of low waste living to not only our lives, but to our hobby of plant care.

How do you sell a property when you know someone died there? Even better, how can you even conceal it when the real estate investors are on the property when the body is discovered?Any deal can be rescued when there’s enough meat on the bone to account for extenuating circumstances. That’s what Nick Perry says about the $75,000 spread he was expecting from a motivated seller in Louisiana, but that turned into something else entirely when someone disappeared on the wooded property.There’s always some risk when you’re wholesaling in your own city, but virtual wholesaling can get even more exciting when you don’t know the history of an area or a house. Nick talks about the lessons he and his team learned when they had to manage a rocky deal long distance.Going forward, he’s put in some additional steps to protect himself for the next time a body might turn up on one of his properties. I hope you’re loving all of these stories because the advice coming out of them is absolutely golden. For a copy of all of the Deals Gone Bad, text the word BAD to 313131 for access to my mind map, and all of the best highlights from this series.What's Inside:—No matter how bad the situation is, remember that the numbers don’t lie.—Why Nick pivoted out of Austin, TX and into virtual wholesaling.—Nick’s strategies for buying and selling in small towns.

You have some people that are super process oriented, you have people that are super technical, and you have some people that are a little bit more aggressive, and others may be good at challenging.”“When things are going great, don’t get too high. When things are not going great, don’t get too low.”“You have to be disciplined and self-motivated enough to do the work for you. Not for your manager, not for somebody else. You have to have self-motivation.”“Success is finding happiness, ideally through impact. If financial success comes along with that fantastic.”

Sure, there are solar farms but have you encountered a solar city? That's just what you will find in Phoenix. They are building parking lot carports that not only provide coveted shade for citizens but lay a foundation for a sort of inner-city solar farm. Additionally, they are utilizing many city-owned properties to harness clean energy to light up Sun Valley. It's a great pleasure to have guest Nick Brown, energy manager for the City of Phoenix, on Smart Energy Voices. In this episode, you'll gain insights on the great strides made in buying clean energy and the strategies behind those purchases. Nick sat down with Smart Energy Decisions director of education programs Peter Kelly-Detweiler at the most recent Renewable Energy Sourcing Forum. You'll appreciate and relate to Nick's perspective on why his work in the energy sector is so important and meaningful.  You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Why Nick finds this to be one of the most fulfilling roles of his career [2:24] Why the carbon budget is imperative [5:11] Performance contracting using a qualified vendors list [7:59] Values beyond energy conservation [10:04] How big are the projects and how many are installed [12:43] Bigger utility-scale approaches when offsetting large amounts of energy [14:57] Advice for cities looking at decarbonization efforts like solar projects [17:14]   The dire circumstance we find ourselves in  The carbon budget is a much more dramatic issue than most people recognize, especially the general public. Whether you look at earth system models or integrated assessment models, the picture shows we only have 5 to 10 years of carbon budget remaining to stay within 1½° centigrade of global warming over preindustrial times. That's dramatic. We've already burned half of what we might have because we didn't have a cost on carbon 10 years back.  Over the last few months, we have reduced carbon emissions globally by about 6-8%. That sounds good, but we should recognize that we have not learned to be successful economically with that kind of reduction. Putting that in perspective, we will have to achieve that kind of reduction every year for the next decade to meet the target of 1½° or less of global warming. The reason for that target is that all of the natural catastrophes that have occurred over the past decade from 2010 to 2020 have cost three times more globally than the same kinds of catastrophes from 2000 to 2010. This is what's already happened just with the carbon that's in the air. It's a fairly dire circumstance we find ourselves in. Street solar and more efficient operations The City of Phoenix owns many properties across the Valley of the Sun such as water services, public works, parks, housing, neighborhood services, meeting facilities, the convention center, and, of course, the city's airport, Sky Harbor. All of those facilities stand to benefit from reduced energy consumption. The city council has approved a $30 million investment in energy efficiency, which needs to precede renewable energy so the city can reduce its load first before moving to solar. That $30 million investment goes into performance contracting, which is moving aggressively with about $10 million currently under contract with ESCOs (energy services companies) as a precursor to the renewable energy program.  They also created a qualified vendors list (QVL) in 2018, which allows the city to potentially work with five approved companies during 2018- 2022. This eliminates requests for proposals each time a new project is developed. That's been a real benefit to streamline the work and it keeps a lot of admin processes out of the way. Contract development is always extremely lengthy and complex so it's a good thing to have contractors that are pre-qualified. It puts them on a fast track to accomplish projects faster and more efficiently.  Key points from a unique vantage point Being on the board of the Salt River Project offers a unique vantage point in terms of understanding the logic of how things get done. Cities looking at decarbonization efforts such as solar projects— that don't have the advantage of being on a board— should consider a couple of key points. One is understanding, participating, and being conversant with integrated resource planning (IRP). IRP processes are common to almost every utility to decide what a likely mix of different power supplies will be for the next 5-10 years. It determines which power stations are likely to carry the baseload and the peak load.  After an IRP process, it's determined how each utility moves forward to provide power in their service area over the next few years. For those that want more renewable energy development for corporations or municipalities, there must be an understanding of how to integrate to have mutual success between developers and buyers. So it's not something that can be figured out with a few meetings. Boards, executives, managers, and technologists will have to develop a keen capacity for integrating a resource planning process into their plans in ways that 10 or 15 years ago seemed not to be necessary at all.

 We are going to workshops or reading articles that only our ego stops us to get what we want..We never question that person who proclaims everything is possible…And the motivational speakers are making a fortune on telling their lies…You can only get what you want:1. If you do all the things that are necessary.2. If the circumstances are in your favor.3. If your suppressed negative feelings are not sabotaging your outcome.4. If God or the divine want that… God's will should happen. And not what your ego wants. These reasons you never hear from these motivational speakers… For instance, Nick Vujicic, No legs, no arms, no worries, … Nick got all what he wanted, even under terrible circumstances - he has no arms and no legs … Why Nick got rich? Nick grew up with lovely parents who were not rich. Nick donated his money, earned from his motivational speeches to the poor people. He married a beautiful woman and got his kids…  And later Nick made his fortune as a real estate agent. And then I hear from the people, there is no God.Nick wanted to make suicide with 14 years and thought, there is no God…His parents told Nick. You can be thankful or you can complain… That is your choice!Nick became a stout Christian. And wanted to do good. Because he suffered so much to depend on his family, who were sacrificing their energy and money to help him.Have you ever helped so much other people than Nick?You attract what is inside of yourself…We depend on so many invisible things, that there is no rational path to become successful… Because if we don’t attract the right circumstances or things, we never can be successful.In this chaotic world there is some order… but mainly the world is chaos…  Science tried to find an easier way to forecast the weather…And they made a mathematical model for the weather forecast… Then they round off the amount to the 12 digits after the decimal point of one parameter.And the weather forecast became different… They called this the butterfly effect, this means one butterfly can change the weather in a time frame of 3 months…Tell me please, what  can you forecast?  You even can’t forecast the weather? My Video: Why are you not getting that? https://youtu.be/zeMEWwnWHP4My Audio on Podcast: RELAX WITH MEDITATION or see link in the end.   My Audio: https://rudizimmerer.s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/6/Why+are+you+not+getting+that.mp3

I wanted to expand my beingness. And I knew that the container that I had built, I had outgrown. I helped build this container, but I needed to step out of it." - Nick Demos "I don't know if the online space found me or I found the online space." - Nick Demos "For the vast majority of us, we are not in alignment because we're in drama. We're in pain. We're in anxiety. We're in depression. We need to go within, we need to go back to that love that you had as a kid.

“A lot of times what’s on the other side of that risk is beauty.” Welcome to today's episode of NION Radio where we're talking about the ways that I actively work to design the life that I envision for myself and the tools that you can use to design your life. Have you ever wondered "how did I get to where I am today"? When I was deciding what I wanted to do when I grew up, the combination of art and technology sparked my interest in design, so I started with this goal and worked backwards from there to figure out what it takes to get there. These practical steps have helped me to realize my goal and to appreciate the joys and challenges of making a career from your art. Why is it so important to be able to separate yourself from your art? What does it mean to create your life by creating every small moment and how can we allow ourselves the space to make magic happen? Listen in to learn about Nick Onken’s background, his path to creating art as a career, and his outlook on how to design your life. You can Subscribe and Listen to the Podcast on Apple Podcasts.

In This Episode We Talk about: What Hanhart Syndrome is and how it’s impacted Nick’s life Why energy is contagious Why Nick made the decision to amputate his right arm Turning outside noise into fuel Why Nick’s parents are his heroes Why everything is a muscle Why Nick doesn’t feel like he’s doing “enough” sometimes Why Nick wants to give people experiences and take care of people when they need help Nick’s new book, Victim to Victor The importance of storytelling in learning   Resources: IG: @nicksantonastasso BookNickSanto.com Victim to Victor by Nick Santonastasso http://a.co/d/iDiPDRz Chris will send a copy of Victim to Victor to the first 20 people who DM him @chriswharder on IG requesting the book.   Show Notes I first heard today’s guest, Nick Santonastasso, speak at the recent THRIVE event I attended and I am so grateful I did. Not only is his story remarkable, but just the way he delivered his inspirational message on stage sent goosebumps straight up my arms. Born with Hanhart Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that left him without legs, an underdeveloped right arm and a left arm with only one finger, Nick’s parents were told early on all the things he would likely never be able to do. His parents threw that list away and Nick has been shattering those glass ceilings ever since. As a fitness model, inspirational speaker and now author of the book, Victim to Victor, Nick is instilling his can-do-anything attitude and energy with the world. This was such an awesome conversation and I can’t wait for you to hear the wisdom that comes out of this 22-year-old’s mouth. Check out how you can get a free copy of Nick’s book in Resources!   Question Highlights: What is one of your superpowers? What is one of your favorite books? What is one thing you’re challenged by right now? Who is someone who’s changed your life? What can you tell us about Hanhart Syndrome? Do you remember the age you realized that you were born differently? What was it like growing up “different?” When was the first time that you shifted from having down-and-out feelings to being the inspiration you are today? What role did your parents play in who you are today? What is your one biggest piece of advice for parents today? What would “doing enough” look like? What do you believe the purpose of earning a significant amount of money and being successful is? What is the message of your book, Victim to Victor, and what makes it so special?   Quotes "What are you willing to do to pivot?” “You need to focus 110% effort on whatever you’re doing or you’re going to sell yourself short.” “If you believe in yourself to do great things, why would you sell yourself short?” “It’s not selfish to level up.”   Nick Santonastasso is a medical miracle. Not only is he one of four people alive with the rare genetic condition, Hanhart Syndrome, the inspirational keynote speaker is an internationally known bodybuilder and fitness model – despite missing both his legs and one arm since birth. The high-energy youth shares his amazing story, showing people that anyone can thrive if they have the determination and willpower to go after what they want. When Nick was born, the doctors handed his parents a long list of things that he would never be able to do. Nick’s parents politely thanked them and threw the list out. They raised Nick the same way they had raised his three able-bodied older siblings and instilled in him never to let the world tell him what he could or couldn’t do.   Follow me on social media @ChrisWHarder on Instagram and check out www.ForTheLoveOfMoney.com

**NOTE: This is a two-part episode. Please make sure to listen to Part 1 first or you'll be lost.**   Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Buddha, Christ, Gilgamesh, they all follow the same story line archetype. What Joseph Campbell came to call The Hero's Journey.       According to Dr. Jordan Peterson, myths are a road map for how to live a virtuous life. They show us how to live a good life, what is right and wrong, connect us with our humanity, and teach us lessons that science cannot.   In this episode, Tanner Baze, Nick Sorrell, Aadam Ali, and I break down The Hero's Journey, how it applies to life, and how it can guide you to live a more virtuous and moral life.   But this episode is more than that. We talk about facing your dragon (or demons) and why this is the most important thing you can do in life, period.   We break down thoughts from Dr. Jordan Peterson about why myths show us that, “Getting to where you want to go is not what you want, it’s to make sure the voyage is worth it.”   First and foremost, all of us can't stress enough how much of an influence John Romaniello and his knowledge of Campbell has meant to us. Without Roman, there would be no Tanner Baze, Robbie Farlow, or Aadam Ali. We owe much of our desire to get in shape and improve lives through writing and creating "good art" to Roman.   So for that, thank you sir. And if you've never read his book, you should. It's required reading, actually. (check the notes below for a link)   In Part 1 of this episode we discuss:   Dr. Jordan B. Peterson (Podcast, Joe Rogan Podcast) John Romaniello (His book Man 2.0 is based off The Hero’s Journey) “Getting to where you want to go is not what you want, it’s to make sure the voyage is worth it.” Ancient myths and modern day applications Why myths are road maps Superman is a God and why we can’t relate to him Why The Joker is Batman’s most formidable enemy Both sides of evil within ourselves Harvey Dent’s transformation into Two-Face You either die the hero or see yourself become the villain Did Tolkien mean to tell the inner deep meanings of his stories? Why you need to face our dragon Gut urges to do something How holding in resentment will destroy you Why Aadam loves the Anti-Hero Suffering and struggle: there is nothing more important in the world You want to aim so high that you can’t obtain it Why myths work Living a virtuous life Roman's article on Heroes Why we need the metaphysical Arete and Apotheosis Neil Gaiman 2012 commencement speech Why Nick went back to church The story of Jesus in the Garden Why The Matrix is the story of Genesis
