December 18, 2020 FPF Episode 20 The Value of an Assistant
In this FPF episode, Alex and Trent discuss using a virtual assistant to create more time for money making activities. This episode was a little early on in the making which is why we have it as a FPF, Trent recently hired a Virtual Assistant (VA) to help his business grow. We talk about the why behind his move, how it has helped so far, and what he expects out of it. We will revisit this topic later on when he has had some serious time to really analyze how productive it has made him.

December 11, 2020 FPF Episode 19 Stop Getting Cat Fished on Social Media
In this episode, Alex and Trent talk about the world of social media influencers and to be aware of who you idolize. To many times people think someone is living this awesome life but in reality it is just a image they portray. This is big in the real estate industry for people to "fake it till they make it" and when it comes to buying a home, you want someone who genuinely cares about you, not the money! Fact check the people you look up to on social media. The biggest piece of advice we can give is look at the engagement, numbers don't lie.
