The world is in a strange new place and the pandemic has had a lot of ripple effects. One of the biggest ones, on everyone's mind, is the economy.
Back on the show to walk us through this complex picture, is economist Bob Barone.
We humans tend to live our lives on autopilot and aren't really present to what's around us or what we're experiencing. If that wasn't bad enough, we tend to let stress, anxiety, and anger rule our behaviors, instead of intentional choices.
A mindfulness practice is incredibly valuable. My guest, Colleen Camenisch, teaches mindfulness as a means to reduce stress and her company, Equilibrium, is to helping their clients feel balanced and complete in every moment.

Remodel versus renovation, which sounds more complicated? Remodeling involves moving walls and drastically altering a property. Renovation applies to updating/upgrading the features of a property (cabinets, counters, flooring).
Anyone who has been through a true remodel can attest to how daunting and frustrating that process can be. But what if it could be easier? My guest, Emma Auriemma-McKay, is an architect and interior designer who has created a business to help get folks through the remodel process stress-free.
Her book Stress-Free Remodeling is available at Abe Books: https://www.abebooks.com/Homeowners-Guide-Stress-Free-Remodeling-Proven-Strategies/30590981136/bd
Risk is scary and it keeps people out of all sorts of industries. For those who are knee-deep, or even toe-deep, into property management, your liability is huge.
I review all that fun stuff with my favorite property management goddess, Jan Mackenzie, of the Mackenzie-Ross Group.
I'm sitting out this year and skipping the RE/MAX International Convention. Luckily an agent that I met last year, who has just moved over to my same brokerage, is going and he's game to share his experience.
I picked Jesse's brain before he left to get a sense of his expectations of the convention and then chatted with him after he got back to debrief.
If you're a convention goer, in any industry, I'd love to hear about it. Email me, post a comment on the show's Facebook page, or send me a message through my website. All contact info is below.
Tova and I covered a lot of goal setting back in episode 64 and one of the things we committed to was completing our Nagging Tasks within the first 90 days of 2020.
I brought Tova back into the studio to see how she did. I also report on my nagging tasks too.
What were your nagging tasks? I'd love to hear from you? I'll pool all the responses from Facebook and those who email me directly and send one lucky winner a free copy of my book!
I'm big on choosing a business model so you can create proper structures for your business and not always fly by the seat of your pants. I chat with the property management goddess, Jan Mackenzie about all the options to consider when building a business model for your property management empire.
We all know LEED Certified and Green Certified, but what about Well Certified? It's a new trend coming down the pike that takes a holistic approach to architectural design and truly considers the occupants and how to best support their healthy life.
In the studio is architect Erik Fong, of MBA Architecture + Interior Design to cover all things Wellness.
The American Escrow Association is a unique organization that has been around for 40 years, but oddly only has 12 member states. They are committed to great things like creating consistency within the settlement field, but all the chaos of The Great Recession put lending companies in the driver's seat.
In this conversation with veteran escrow officer, Randi Bennett, we cover the history, the present and the hopeful future of the American Escrow Association.
Kindness is king. You get more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Too true! It's sad how often agents approach each other with ego, arrogance and attitude. WTF? Instead, imagine a world where agents always came from a place of respect, professionalism and courtesy. Wow! What a world!
Be really honest with yourself and look at where you can bring more kindness into your words and actions. If things are going sideways in a deal, how can you put your emotions to the side, focus on the facts and work towards a solution?
Also, how can you be more open and accepting of all types of clients, so you are known for only ever being a consummate professional, who treats everyone the same?
Emotions are crazy powerful, and they can blind us to what is really going on, or what we really need to be doing in the moment.
Use "be kind" as your motto this week and see where it gets you.
