  • Episode 20 - What You Need to Know to Win in Business and Life With Nathan Murith

    "At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back." - Denzel Washington


    We are joined today by Nathan Murith, a Husband, father, technologist, founder of Undoor Properties, remote real estate investing expert, coach, and podcast host. 

    Nathan shared how he wasn't able to find resources that suit his needs when he was starting his real estate investing journey. This led him to create everyreitool.com, a software specifically created for real estate investors and professionals that provides resources to help take the business further and faster. 

    He reiterates the importance of passing on not only properties and wealth to his kids but honing them with skills and teaching values that will set them up for life. 

    Nathan is passionate about coaching, mentoring, and helping others to get started investing in real estate at a distance, and working with individuals looking to put their money to work in real estate without owning the property.


    Key Takeaways

    • The lack of a solution to a problem is a chance to create something new and maybe a business opportunity
    • Parents are responsible not only for securing their children’s future but also passing on values that will guide them in life
    • People who are committed to doing the work find fulfilment more than those who chase the shortcut
    • There is always value and benefit in giving back to the community
    • Three Things

      1. Which of your values was the most difficult to attain or practice, and how did you finally get it?
      2. How does it feel when a project goes in a direction that doesn’t exactly follow your values? How do you work to get it back on track?
      3. How do you work on imparting your values to the people you influence?
      4. Key Quotes

        “Active listening is not just listening and answering the person's question, or responding to a comment. It's really trying to get to what is it that is bothering them or important to them, or their actual true problem that they're maybe not stating, either directly or clearly or accurately. So really spend time to listen so you’d know how to address it.” - Nathan Murith

        “We worked hard. Nothing's given for free.” - Nathan Murith

        “There are more people today that are looking for the shortcut than there are people who are ready to do the work and we're really committed to putting in the time and the effort.” - Nathan Murith

        “When you stick to your values, you find that instead of trying to get a buck from every source that you can, it is looking for that match specifically. And while it may be a lot more legwork to find that actual match, when you do find it, the relationship can flourish that much more because of the shared mindset, and the shared goals.” - Nate LeBlanc

        “Keep on giving and generosities always come back for sure.” -  Daniel Jakubisin

      5. Episode 19 - How Authenticity and Transparency Help Build Trust in Business with Kate Glassman and Azeem Moazzamuddin
         In today's age where almost everything posted on social media appears to be near-perfect, people crave authenticity. This is why marketing strategy like user-generated content (UGC) is becoming one of the most influential forms of marketing. Having customers with genuine trust in your company sets the organization in the right direction long term.

        In this episode, Nate and Jake sit down with Kate and Azeem of Greenly Mortgage to share how they achieved business success amidst tight competition. They reiterate the importance of open and honest communication as an essential way to improve relationships not only with the customers but within the organization. Azeem also talks about how they promote transparency in the workplace by engaging the team in decision-making, welcoming new ideas through clear communication, and being open with their clients. The company stands on the principle that earning trust is a collective effort that leaders and team members must always strive for.

        Key Takeaways

        • The things borrowers need to know when searching for a mortgage broker they can trust
        • Transparency is a critical component in trust building
        • How Greenly is changing the mortgage game
        • Thought leaders empower team members, set a company culture that is rooted within the company’s core values, and promote business transparency.


        The Things
        1. Think about when you have been involved in successful small teams. What made them successful?
        2. How can you make your work/process more transparent for your customers and coworkers? For your loved ones?
        3. How can you promote transparency so the people you work for and with can see you can be trusted?

          Key Quotes

          “If you want to continue to be ahead of everybody, you have to be incorporating new ideas. In order to incorporate new ideas, you've got to be open to them, and acknowledge that they exist.” - Kate Glassman

        “Don't be afraid to be transparent with your borrowers, they're actually going to respect you for it. In the end, even though it's uncomfortable, even though you're going to be presenting a loan estimate to them, they might have a competing loan estimate from another big bank, that looks a lot more favorable. I'm going to equip you so that you can explain to them how this is a trustworthy loan estimate and how this one isn't.”  - Kate Glassman

         “You never really know what someone could become.” - Azeem Moazzamuddin

        “I think having that vision and having that goal and setting those meetings with your team members and having that one-on-ones, and being able to also make hard decisions for the betterment of the group is the biggest thing for culture.” - Azeem Moazzamuddin

      6. Episode 18 - The Power of Trust with Daniel Jakubisin and Peter Constanzo
        Trust is the powerful force underlying business success, not effort or money.

        It is something you build without thinking about; it is the outcome of daily interactions and interactions with people you work with. It touches every area of business, from business partners, and employees, to customers.  It is a core element of human relationships.

        Nate is joined by Doorward Founder Daniel Jakubisin and Co-Founder Peter Costanzo to talk about business trust and its importance in driving business success.

        The trio takes a look at the power of trust in building relationships, and the societal importance of social media today. They share vibrant and compelling insights on how to start building trust in the business and workplace. They also deeply examine the Trust Equation and how it is vital in improving organizations' and individuals' lives by increasing trustworthiness.

        Key Takeaways
        • Lessons from the recent Twitter blue check mark fiasco
        • A proven strategy to build up your reputation and trust on social media
        • The Trust Equation: Credibility, Reliability and Intimacy
        • The problem with skepticism on social media platforms


        A Reflection on Trust
        1. Which areas of the trust equations are your strengths? How about your weaknesses?
        2. There are a lot of transactions we undertake in business. Are your transactions with others based on convenience or trust? How can you engage in more trusted transactions?
        3. Who are your most trusted friends and family members? Why do you trust them and how can you exhibit those qualities?

        “I want to encourage everybody listening to adapt the abundance mindset.  Think about what you can do to help the person to your left or to your right.” - Peter Costanzo

      7. Episode 17 - The Search for Wisdom with Daniel Jakubisin
        Wisdom is a word that has different definitions depending on whom you ask. Some define wisdom as knowledge gained through experience, while others view it as principles and beliefs governing one's life and behavior.
         
        In today's episode, Nate sits down with Jake to talk about how wisdom guides them to a better life by avoiding foolish choices and impulsive decisions, and the importance of making wise decisions when it comes to your finances, your career, and even your personal relationships.

        Jake turned his passion for engineering into a successful career, but he's never lost sight of the fact that a balance between doing what you love and making money while doing so is possible. This belief led him to start Doorward—a social real estate start-up that connects beginners and experts in the industry for a more hassle-free transaction.


        Key Takeaways
        • How wisdom links to better personal and professional methods of living 
        • The importance of building relationships in business and working with people you can trust
        • The ideal team player: The humble, the hungry, and the smart
        • The Design and Build Model


        3 Things to Ask In Search of Wisdom
        1. Who is your example of a wise person? What qualities do they have that you consider wise?
        2.  How would the qualities of wisdom manifest themselves in your work and your personal life
        3. Is there an area of wisdom where you find yourself lacking? How could you practice in these areas so you could grow?  

        Key Quotes

        “At Doorward we're all about people getting out of the rat race, getting out of the wheel. When people are in the wheel, and in the rat race, there's no search for wisdom but almost like you don't have the opportunity to seek the wisdom.” - Daniel Jakubisin

        “Doorward is about matchmaking, beginners and experts in real estate, people that have an idea, a vision of what they want to do to find that financial freedom for themselves with those who have done it before, and have the tools and the knowledge and the relationships to make that happen.” -
        Daniel Jakubisin

        “If you're trying to build a business, it's all about leads. How do you get leads? It's by being the knowledge expert because you have that one thing, where you can be the guide to somebody else.”-
        Daniel Jakubisin

        “The search for wisdom doesn't cut corners in the search for profitability, or just looking to make a quick buck.” - Nate LeBlanc

        “Wisdom is action-oriented.” - Nate LeBlanc
