Agency of the Year: Alex Ouwens and Nathan Casserly on overcoming adversity, making shared leadership work and the power of showing vulnerability as a leader

Listen Later

Alex Ouwens and Nathan Casserly might have been at the top of their game when their agency, Ouwens Casserly Real Estate, won the Annual REA Residential Agency of the Year 2022, but leading up to that moment, they both had faced some huge personal battles.

Alex had to step away from Ouwens Casserly when his son was diagnosed with cancer and Nathan had to abruptly change their business model.

In this episode of the Elevate podcast with Elite Agent Managing Editor, Samantha McLean, Alex and Nathan talk about how they were able to overcome huge challenges in their lives over the past few years and come out on top.

They talk about why evolving from the “Nathan and Alex show” allowed their business to stand on its own, why you need to always focus on what you can control and how consistency and discipline will allow you to succeed in any environment.

They also discuss the importance of long-term strategic thinking, how to manage a shared leadership model and why one plus one can actually equal three.

“If you invest in great people, then they pay themselves back tenfold. So it was the best investment that we made.” – Alex Ouwens
