I'm confident this is one of the most important interviews of the year to date.Meet Levi Lascsak.

Afghanistan in 2009 must seem a long time ago for former special forces Green Beret, Levi Rodgers but I would bet what happened on that day is never far from his thoughts.When the military vehicle in which Levi and four of his teammates were traveling, detonated a 400-pound bomb, Levi was the only survivor and despite serious burns and many broken bones, he ultimately recovered and realized his Green Beret days were now behind him.I was unsure how dig to deep in this session when it came to Levi's traumatic past but, as he shares during this interview, your story is what makes you and a powerful story like this one, is the kind of story that stays with people and becomes part of their lives forever.These days Levi runs The Levi Rodgers Group in San Antonio Texas and is helping the Veteran community not just get involved in owning a great real estate investment, his team is 55% former US military as well.But I think what I like most about Levi's story is that this highly decorated, elite soldier with a Purple

We are all time poor these days, especially in real estate where our actual work schedule is never normal. That's why many busy people are starting to re-think the critically important areas of diet and exercise.So if we all know and agree that nothing tastes as good as being thin feels, what's the problem? It seems life gets in the way. We get older, exercising is less enjoyable, why have one glass of red when you can have two and so on.My guest this week is a Kiwi who has relocated to Tulum on Mexico's gulf coast.Aaron Caville is a very fit looking forty-something and comes to life when he starts talking about health and fitness and the special diets he created then tested on himself. He also creates his own food lists for his weight-losing clients around the world.Personally, I think getting fit and maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle is all about commitment and sticking to a plan, and that's where Aaron's awesome programs come in.Full details here

Plenty of people write books offering advice about going after your dreams and living a better life, but how many actually have the scar tissue and history of lessons learned to support these ideals?How many authors actually possess the real-life experiences to not just talk about the best path to take on the road ahead but inspire and motivate you to take that first step with a solid plan?Well, I caught up with someone this week who is more than qualified to advise and mentor in the skills of living your best life, success in business, personal fulfillment and happiness.We're all very different with different needs, goals, hopes and dreams, but the essential formulas for getting what you want from our time on this earth are solidly entrenched in history.In his brand new book, former elite soldier and successful real estate professional, Shane Kempton delivers an enthralling collection of amazing stories together with a solid proven plan anyone can implement, wherever you are and whatever you're doing.'Your b

Attracting sellers, nurturing then converting to listings.As you listen to Trent's top 5 ways to attract sellers, you'll discover he has more than a passive interest in the power of leveraging social media.I think you're going to absolutely LOVE this episode

Have you ever wanted to make a lifestyle move but not sure how it will affect your business? Maybe you want to move to a warmer place, a cooler place or closer to friends and family. In this episode, you'll hear from someone who's actually doing it and how he's overcoming the challenges along the way.In the years I've been working with Trent Pool, I've come to expect big things. His business dominates the Southern NSW city of Merimbula with a dedicated and hardworking team. Merimbula Realty is a highly successful real estate business model with a dynamic sales presence and a well-run property management division.Trent is a systems guy. For example, he has leveraged LockedON as his CRM and Jigglar as his creative marketing platform right from the start and is constantly tweaking things to get more revs from his business engine.A couple of years ago, Trent confided that he was planning to move his family to Queensland's Sunshine Coast and start a real estate business there. I naturally assumed this would m

I'm increasingly surprised at the speed of technology and how new, better and less expensive ideas seem to evolve so quickly.The very best ideas cater to a particular market niche and solve a problem that niche is having or produce a fresh product with obvious and instant appeal.Property technology or 'proptech' as it's called is no exception and since first meeting Peter, Brad and Mel from Box Brownie, it's been fascinating to follow their innovative ideas as they bring an ever-expanding range of options to real estate agents so their marketing looks awesome.If I had to highlight the biggest feature as I see it, it's that Box Brownie offers highly technical services that used to cost hundreds or thousands of dollars for a tiny fraction of old-world prices plus their turnaround is super fast.Make no mistake, you are instantly judged by your marketing and visual presentation. In a world where getting attention is beyond competitive, there's literally no second chance at a first impression.Why would you feature

This week's episode is a little different. and Joel, I think we need some tropical island paradise music to set the mood.ahh, perfect...It's a story of one couple's passion and courage to trade their regular lives for a chance to experience island paradise.So, let me ask you a question... Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming about escaping to a tropical island in the south pacific? Exploring hidden beaches, discovering mountain trails and diving in an ocean so fresh and unaccustomed to humans that the fish actually swim up to your mask to check you out?At night you're treated to amazing island meals like lobster paella and exquisite local fruit deserts as you stare at a brilliant canopy of a billion stars in a dark sky untainted by city lights or sirens.As we suffer though our fourth COVID lockdown here in Ontario, I find myself craving an island escape with daily sun-filled swims and warm, tropical island air. So I thought, why not track down a good mate of mine who stopped thinking about it and ma

When today's guest reached out to see if we could record an episode together, I did my usual thing and Googled him. Next thing you know I'm down a very cool rabbit hole of podcasts, Youtube shows and marketing innovation where I could tell it was not only going to be fun, but that my listeners were in for treat and would learn a whole lot about taking a different approach to real estate success.When it comes to marketing, I love the idea of sharing awesome content and super helpful information to build my list of friends, contacts and clients. That one simple concept has served me so well over time. In fact, writing and self-publishing my first edition of How To Sell Your Home For More was the very start of my journey to look at real estate marketing differently and start literally giving away my very best ideas. And I guess this show is proof that I'm still doing it.So when my guest, early on in our call starts talking about how he offers sellers advice on how they can sell their own homes the

Here are the social media platforms and content to focus on right now.To work out the most popular topics for this podcast, all I need to do is go back into the control platform and see which episodes have the most downloads....and if I need any confirmation, I head into the back end of Jigglar, our online design template platform and look at what the most popular downloads are about.I'm sure you guessed it... social media.But then I sometimes wonder if social is popular because it works or because it's free. I think it's definitely, a combination of both.In this mini-episode I want to share what I've learned about social media in the last year and also give you the heads up on which platforms agents are using the most to get results and what type of content they're posting.There's a massive shift going on right now and we're all part of it.

Women in Real Estate Series. After hearing how she handled customers working for the Post Office, her future boss knew he was in the presence of greatness. But it would take him 2 years to win her over!This is part of a series we're producing here at the podcast about women in real estate. We'll be featuring a number of interviews with some very impressive women who all have a story to tell about their journey and rise to the top.You might wonder why I made the decision to single out a group that represents half the population and feature female agent interviews. Well, there's a number of reasons:For a start, most of the women I know in real estate had to work twice as hard to reach the level of success they now enjoy. If you're a woman in real estate or even if you're not, you'll know as well as I do that, right from the start, the learning curve is steep.Then there's the fact that so many women juggle family and other commitments to make their careers work. Many are single mothers who somehow adapt to

Just in case you don't know, I'm Ray Wood and I'm a real estate agent from Melbourne Victoria living on a lake about 2 hours north of Toronto Ontario Canada.It's been a cold blast here at the cottage in the last couple of months where we have been in semi-isolation and various stages of lockdown for almost a year.The month of February is testing us because there's this weather effect called the polar vortex that brings with it arctic cold temperatures like minus 30 Celcius and feet of snow.But, fortunately, the boathouse is keeping us warm thanks to a wood fire we installed last year and some incredible spray insulation that keeps in most of the warmth.The boathouse has been a fun project and it's still a work in progress that will take me a bit longer to complete.Personally, this last year has been an amazing time. I feel I have better focus and direction. I feel like I have more drive and energy. In the last 12 months, I have completely overhauled Bestagents to a digital marketing platform and with the
