You can know your local real estate market like the back of your hand, be able to recite statistics like a high-level analyst and close deals like a machine, but if you don't consider the HUMAN side of the business, it is very difficult to create a thriving, sustainable career.

REALTOR® Jenn Newman has built her business on authenticity, empathy, and trust - qualities that many claim to possess, but few actually put into practice. Clients love her, colleagues respect her, and partners like us are grateful for her!

Michael Banovac is the poster child for "Don't judge a book by its cover." Yes, he's had mega-success at a young age as a real estate developer, luxury agent, author, and owner of an online dating program called Millionaire Date Doctor (how's that for diversifying?). But he has also shared a $900/month, 1000sqft apartment with his father. Michael has some layers. As we peel back, there is a soft heart and kind soul beneath the glossy veneer of socioeconomic triumph. His lifelong mentor/hero is his father, the man who showed Michael what it's like to live large, as well as hit rock bottom. Now, as business partners, they are once again kicking ass with RMB Luxury Real Estate and Mission Realty.

On this episode, Ryan and Michael head into the storm on several topics, including:

His supermodel mom and poker-playing dad (3:10)

Divorce (5:49)

The upswing and the downturn (8:52)

City North (13:59)

Personal Brand (17:58)

Financial literacy (19:56)

Mental health (23:30)

Charisma and Connection (26:56)

Millionaire Date Doctor (38:19)

Marriage and Partnership (41:48)

Passive income (49:13)

What matters most (55:27)

CO.MMUNITY ▪️ CO.LLABORATION ▪️ CO.MMUNICATION

North&Co is known in the Valley as an impeccably-branded, heart-forward family of passionate real estate professionals who looove where they work.

While the brokerage wouldn't exist without its charismatic visionary Brian North, he would be the first to credit his partners for being the leaders who truly make shit happen for their organization.

EP13 guest Michele Williamson - Designated Broker and Co-owner - is one of those two badass women. The brilliant Stephanie Gonzalez rounds out the N&Co Three-headed Monster.

Since opening their doors, Michele has quietly been moving mountains behind the scenes. She has a dynamic, humble energy that is infectious...the type of person who just feels good to be around.
