As David wrote about last week, We recently launched our new podcast series, ActiveRain Insights for Success.
In setting out to do a podcast series, we realized that we have access to some of the smartest people in the real estate industry. Between ActiveRain's decadelong history with community and Ben Kinney's decadelong history with selling and innovating in the real estate space, we've made friends with some really amazing people.
Smart, driven, energetic, funny and hard working don't even begin to describe some of the guests we have already interviewed.......and we are just getting started!
Already, we have interviewed:
Chris Smith: Love Chris! I consider him one of the foremost hustlers in our industry (I use that term with total endearment). Chris knows how to market! As co-founder of Curyator, Chris helps 1000's of agents have a better business......and he almost got both of us to cry!
Dusty Baker: The guy just gets social media! And he's using it to build a really successful real estate business in one of the toughest markets in the country, Santa Barbara CA. And he's only 27!
Sherry Chris: Real Estate Powerhouse! Sherry is the CEO of Better Homes and Garden Real Estate LLC and one of the most well connected and hardest working people in real estate. A true innovator, Sherry never disappoints when sharing her experience with the industry.
Jay Papasan: Author extrodaniare! Jay has co-authored, with Gary Keller, some of the most successful books about real estate of all time. His most recent book, The One Thing has become a Wall Street Journal #1 best seller and is a guide to acheiving truly remarkable things in your life by focusing on the one thing, that if you do it, will make everything else in your life easier (I'm paraphrasing)
Seth Price: Marketing Genius! Chief Instigator for Placester (love that title!), Seth is leading a massive expansion of a great company, the fourth time he's been part of a team building a multi-million dollar company. (and unfortunately for you all, it's a podcast so you can't see that he is likely the best dressed people in real estate).
Chad Hyams: The Voice of Reason! And our good friend from the IMSD days, Chad is currently the Director of Growth and Productivity for the Southeast region of Keller Williams. He spends his days pouring his soul into making real estate agents have more successful lives and businesses.
Podcast Format
In each podcast, we ask (mostly the same) ten questions of each guest. Since we try to keep them under 30 minutes, and I have a big mouth and sometimes like to use it, we don't always get all ten questions in with each guest. Often, something they say will lead me to ask another question and we head down a completely different path than was planned.
After getting the first 10 or so interviews under our belt, we decided to do something a little bit different when we interview a real estate agent. Moving forward, agents will be asked the same set of four questions, very specific to the business of real estate, so that you guys can get specific insights into the business habits of some very successful agents.
Many More To Come:
We have already more interviews in the hopper with Tom Ferry, Grier Allen and Debbie Reynolds (Lots of ActiveRainers will make an appearance!). Each week we will release another podcast interview.
We'd love if you would subscribe to the podcast, which you can do from the main podcast page, or while listening to any of the individual podcasts. Or you can subscribe below.
And if you pick up something great from one of our guests, we'd love if you would share the podcast with your friends and peers in the industry!
