The Richard Robbins Show

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show will help strengthen your value proposition, teach you invaluable online presentation etiquette and evolve the way you look at the sales process with 5 simple but incredibly effective steps.

A lot to promise in a 60 minute podcast but Mark Cox, Founder and President of In the Funnel Sales Coaching, is an expert in his field. Mark has sold, structured and negotiated some of the largest single-sale transactions in North America, including a billion-dollar transaction with a top-10 U.S. bank.

Mark tells me that, "[Sales] is one of the most important business disciplines. Revenue fixes every other problem in a company. Yet there are so many sales people out there that have never had any training or certification."

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show got her first job in a real estate office at the age of 13. Today, she helps real estate agents create businesses that align with their strengths, vision and core beliefs.

Michelle Risi, Executive Vice President of Royal LePage Your Community and Broker/Owner of Royal LePage Connect Realty, is a 2nd generation real estate business owner that focuses on Lifestyle Entrepreneurship.

"There are a lot of REALTORS®, regardless of what stage and age they are in their business, that are not enjoying the fruits of their labour." Michelle tells me that the normalization of burnout and 'shiny object syndrome' is what led her to focus her brokerage on lifestyle and balance.

There are few interviews that leave me as inspired and astounded as this first episode of 2021 has done.

In the 42nd episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sat down with a man who arrived in Canada with $50 in his pocket, his infant son sleeping in a gym bag and a dream to give his family a new beginning. Today, he runs the #1 RE/MAX Team Worldwide (under 10 people) and is #1 in Mississauga in homes sold worth over $2,000,000.

Peter Papousek, Team Leader of The Papousek Team, was born in the communist country of Czechoslovakia. “The government brainwashes you. Basically, they make you believe everything is good, but they don’t let you tap into the Western World. They don’t let you read books or read magazines or listen to their radio stations.”

After his father passed from a sudden and fatal heart attack, Peter planned his escape with his then pregnant girlfriend to North America.

In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I'm doing things a little differently.

While I love sharing my studio with brilliant minds and enthusiastic company, there is no special guest to introduce in our 41st edition of The Richard Robbins Show. Instead, these are my thoughts on the wild year that just passed us and what permanent changes I could see sticking around even after this pandemic vanishes.

It was supposed to be the Roaring 20s. The beginning of a new decade brought with it so much excitement; the chance to start anew, an opportunity to truly put our past in the rearview and set our sights on the open road ahead.

Nearly 20 years ago, my next guest on The Richard Robbins Show was applying for a job at a fairly new company called Richard Robbins International. Naturally she was hired, and we were fortunate to have Kristen as an RRI Team Member for many years. After moving to Florida many years ago, Kristen has spent her time building a business based on mindfulness and meditation, all while balancing her time as a wife and mother.

Kristen Manieri, a former RRI team member turned life coach and certified mindfulness teacher, spends her time enriching the lives of her tribe, teaching people how to live more intentionally, feeling more connected and being more conscious.

“If I am not good for me, I am not good for anybody else,” Kristen tells me. She knows the secret to living a healthy, restorative and passion filled life begins with self-maintenance and personal reflection.

My next guest on The Richard Robbins Show served as a decorated fighter pilot for the United States military and has since earned his MBA and now speaks around the world on the importance of perseverance, strategy and teamwork.

Lieutenant Colonel Waldo Waldman is a New York Times bestselling author and decorated fighter pilot with 65 combat missions and 2,650 flight hours in places like Iraq, South East Asia and Kosovo.

Waldo’s inspiration for exchanging the cockpit for center stage was simple, “We’re all top guns, we’re just wearing different uniforms.” He now uses the lessons of unity and camaraderie he learned in the military to help business leaders and entrepreneurs in their own life.

My next guest’s journey from earning $62.00 a week as a carpenter, to becoming one of the most successful professional speakers in the world, earning over a million dollars a year speaking, is a story worth every second to tell.

Joel Weldon, a Speaker Hall of Fame inductee and creator of the Ultimate Speaking System, has spoken at over 3,000 events, has coached and mentored over 10,000 speakers and was once called by his former manager, “the worst salesman he’s ever hired!”

“[My manager] said one word,” Joel tells me, that would change the rest of his life, “...Unless. Unless you change the way you think.” This was the turning point that would take Joel down a path to becoming one of the sought after speakers in the world.

Sebastián began life wanting to follow the humanitarian footsteps of his parents. With a Masters Degree in Political Science his ambition was to become a Diplomat, but after failing to find suitable work, his career aspirations were derailed.

He was offered a position as a real estate agent in a friend’s brokerage, but Sebastián was far from impressed. “I have a Masters Degree, I’m not going to be selling houses. To me it was like a downgrade.” But as the saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by it's cover.”

Sebastián found that the humanitarian work of his parents and his own real estate efforts weren’t all that different. “Within a month, I loved it because it’s about people. It’s really about connecting with people and helping people find their place.”
