More Cheese Less Whiskers

Welcome to the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast.

Today, we have a great conversation with Jeffrey Higgins, a real estate agent from outside of Detroit, about the future of real estate.

Jeffrey is someone who's been in the real estate business for 25 years, mainly in a commercial capacity working with retail shopping malls, and I don't know if you've noticed, but the prospects for the shopping mall as a concept are getting less and less exciting.

Jeffrey, taking a long-term view and looking to the future, has decided it makes more sense to transition into residential real estate.

Rather than just talk about the specifics of how to get more real estate leads, because I've cracked all of those codes and have endless podcasts and information about how to do that, we really focused on the higher-level conversation. What is it going to take to be in a sustainable real estate business in the next 25 years and really build a foundation that can not only survive, but get ahead of and thrive in this changing environment.

We focused on two things that are key to this, but I'm going to let you discover through the podcast here.

I have a really interesting conversation lined up for you today. Alex Epstein is one of my favorite people to have conversations with. This guy is super, super bright, he's a philosopher, which I love about him, and he's the author of one of the books that I think may be the very best book title ever, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. It's a reflection of the really interesting approach he takes looking at things.

We dive into that, but we spent most of our time looking at how we could apply the eight profit activators to the business of being Alex Epstein. We came up with some really great evil schemes for him use his own scorecards and super signatures.

I think you'll really enjoy this take on things.

Welcome back to the More Cheese Less Whiskers Podcast. My name is Dean Jackson and today we have a More Cheese Less Whiskers first as we welcome back Jamie Smart.

This is the first time we've had an update episode. If you remember Jamie is the author of two books, Clarity and Results. I've enjoyed both of them and this episode is a follow up to episode 009 where we dived in the details and planned for the book launch of Results.

We talked about some out of box ideas on how to market on a local basis, a national book launch. All to support Jamie's goal of getting on the Sunday Times list, the UK equivalent of the New York Times bestseller list.

We came up with some really great ideas and Jamie and his team were able to execute some pretty neat things. He had a lot of great insight about what happened through that whole campaign and we spent the hour talking about the insights and results before talking more about the place of books and the importance of books titles. Specifically in the marketing or the attraction of a book.

I always enjoy my conversations with Jamie. I think you're going to love this episode.

Today, I'm talking with Jim Hart. Jim is in Arizona and has had quite a career in both the newspaper business and direct response marketing, as a consultant and now working with small and medium businesses to help counsel them on their marketing.

We had a great conversation about the future of the newspaper business. We talked about how, despite the common narrative, there's still a lot of juice left to squeeze from the newspaper orange, and the unique opportunity Jim has with his skills as a direct response marketer, his knowledge of the newspaper business and his connections in the newspaper business, to bundle up his skills and create some really great opportunities for small businesses all over the country.

We progressed into talking about the deeper idea of picking one business and really going deep in providing solutions for that one business that could be syndicated to all the other service providers in the same business.

You'll see we started talking about dentists but the conversation narrow to end talking about chiropractors. This is a great demonstration of the focus you can get helping any kind of businesses, in the same way I have specific focus on being able to help real estate agents. We talked a lot about how this could apply to his situation.

I think you'll really find this an interesting episode, developing the idea of a working, scaleable example.

Today, we have a really great conversation with Kyle LeMarie. Kyle is here in Orlando, not too far from me, and he's making some wild innovations in the independent musician space.

He's really cracking the code, helping independent artists taking matters into their own hands, taking it back some of the power that big corporations have had in control of the music industry and making it easy and kind of forging a path for independent musicians to get their voice heard, to build their audience and to really apply the 8-Profit Activators to the independent musician.

He has a lot of great things that are going on and it was surprising to hear just how thoughtful he's been in applying the 8-Profit Activators to independent musicians and the success they've had.

This is a great conversation about the mechanisms that are easily deployed to build an audience and how to progress people through all stages of the Profit Activator stages.

Selecting a single target market is a key principal to the 8-Profit Activators as fear of missing out makes most people try to target as many people as possible. Selecting the right group can make all the difference as your message resonates with those people. It gives you someone to focus on as you create points of engagement. It is both an art and science though, and it's good to remember that being too specific could be costing opportunity too.

Today we're talking with Brad Lazarus. I met Brad more than five years ago when he was one of the people at the very first Breakthrough Blueprint event I did in London.

Today Brad owns a property investment company in the UK and we had a

really great discussion about Real Estate, and the psychology behind what's going on in the minds of people who have a problem and need to sell a house. Specifically investors, or those who own investment properties which is Brad's target market.

You'll notice in this conversation we started out going into a very specific target audience, crafting a solution specifically for those people. But then, when we took a minute to back up and look at the higher level, macro view of the business to see what's actually going on, where the transaction is taking place, and what Brad's role in that transaction is, we came upon a really elegant and much broader opportunity for what he's doing.

Sometimes taking a moment to look one ring out, a level up from the micro focus of the specific problem you're trying to solve, can reveal an even bigger opportunity, and create an opportunity for even more people.

I think you'll really enjoy this episode. It seemed to go by really fast.
