Have you ever wondered why some homes sell super fast? Then get ready to learn one reason why, because my guest on this week’s episode of AdultFluent, home stager Mollie Sheridan, takes us behind the scenes with an introduction to this vital, though sometimes misunderstood part of the process. To Mollie, home staging is an art, and her goal is to help buyers see a new space as just that - a home that they can truly see themselves living in. Whether using existing pieces or some from their own collections, home stagers declutter and freshen up a space to help sell a home faster and for a higher price. I know you’ll love hearing how Mollie found her way to this business, as well as the simple yet powerful lesson she learned about business and life from her recent talk with Gary Vee that she now wants to pass on to others!

In person as well as on social media, Star shines her brilliant light as an accomplished facilitator, presentation coach, communications trainer, attorney, and content creator.  In this episode, she details how to improve communication by doing something that is known by some but practiced by far fewer - truly listening. Star, also a former stage and television actor, goes in-depth into the method as well as the mindset behind this crucial skill, which can make an especially  huge difference in today’s world. You will be amazed by the tremendous value that listening has had in the stories she tells about her interactions with others, and you may just leave the conversation inspired to listen differently to people in your own life too!

May I tell you a secret? This week’s episode of AdultFluent made me FLIP OUT with excitement, and it’s all because of what my guest, Ty “Flip Man” Taylor, shared about real estate investing with little or no money down! Flip Man is a veteran investor and huge social media star with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers and almost 200,000 followers on TikTok. It’s no wonder, what with the hundreds of free instructional videos he has posted on YouTube alone since 2008! Listen as he describes how after failing at several businesses, he bought a course that taught him the low-risk, high-return art of wholesaling properties, along with several other money-making methods. But make no mistake: Flip Man is the real deal, so also gets real about these deals with what he believes is truly needed to make them happen. By the end of our conversation, I was just as impressed by his warmth, openness, and willingness to give back as I was by his knowledge, and I know you will be too!
