On the 119th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I had an amazing conversation with someone who has been featured in Forbes, Inman News, Entrepreneur Magazine, The Wall Street Journal (& more) and is currently President of Real Brokerage Inc., one of the fastest-growing, publicly-traded, real estate brokerage in the world.

Sharran Srivatsaa is no stranger to making big deals. He is the Founder of the wildly popular 5am Club for Entrepreneurs with over 6,000 active members, has an MBA (with Honors) from Vanderbilt University, was a Wall Street Banker at Goldman Sachs and was responsible for growing Teles Properties to a $3.4 Billion evaluation before selling the business to American real estate company, Douglas Elliman.

Sharran is convinced that skill and effort can outweigh any advantage someone may have over you.

In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Sharran and I talk about the importance of having a core value proposition in your business so that your effort has a true focus. Sharran spoke about operational generosity and how it will help grow your business and how higher email conversion rates can lead to better conversations with your clients.

On the 118th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down with speaker, author and entrepreneur, Alex Street, who has dedicated his life to helping others tell their stories in a clear, creative and impactful way.

Alex is a Brand Storyteller and brings his passion for helping professionals understand their story and why their story signature is an important tool in growing a business.

In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Alex and I talk about how to craft the perfect story. Alex gives the listeners some tips on what to focus on when telling your story and how to make it as impactful as possible so they never go unheard of again.

On the 117th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Tim Hudak who has spent the majority of his professional career in the public eye

A graduate of Western University in London, ON, Tim received his Masters of Economics from the University of Washington. He served as an MPP from 1995 to 2016 and was the Leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives from 2009 to 2014.

Since his retirement from Canadian politics, he has served as the CEO of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) since 2016. As part of his work at OREA, Tim was named one of the most powerful people in North American residential real estate by Swanepoel Power 200 for the last 5 years.

In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Tim and I talk about his career, from Walmart to Parliament Hill. Tim shares his viewpoint on affordable housing in the Canadian real estate market, shares some tips on how to stand out in your business and lets listeners know why it's important to always bet on yourself.

On the 116th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down with an RRI icon who is expanding his real estate professional career to include his candidacy for the Federal Conservative Party of Canada.

Keith Roy is celebrating his 18th successful year in real estate and has always had a passion for change, particularly in politics as a graduate in Political Sciences from the University of Guelph.

As we speak, Keith is well on his way to win the second-longest riding in Canada. From door knocking, campaigning and fundraising for the West Vancouver Sunshine Coast Sea to Sky Country riding (a section made up of 3 small, yet considerably different, sections of the province), Keith has discovered there are massive similarities in the business of real estate and politics.

In this episode, Keith shares his unfiltered perspective on Canada's current state of politics. He lets listeners know how to grow their business using universal, fundamental practices that will work in any profession.

On the 115th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down with Dr. Don Wood, author, speaker, founder & CEO of the Inspired Performance Institute and creator of the patented TIPP (The Inspired Performance Program) method, focusing on helping people resolve their trauma and get their lives to a place of high performance.

Dr. Don Wood has dedicated his life to helping thousands of people live a better life and overcome the effects of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction with his neuroscience-backed program, TIPP.

As entrepreneurs and sales professionals, I know firsthand the stresses of everyday life. Call reluctance, panic attacks, addiction, depression - we all have trauma we must overcome to live a healthier and more fulfilled life.

Inspired by his daughter’s Crohn’s diagnosis, Don began his research into trauma, theorizing that we should be looking at the root cause of our ailments rather than diagnosing and medicating the symptoms.

In this episode of The Richard Robbins Show, Dr. Wood and I talk about the importance of analyzing your trauma and understanding how to treat it without the use of medication. Dr. Wood shares his insights into the correlation between childhood trauma and safe spaces, why patience is the key to healing and how healing your inner trauma can improve your physical and mental health.

On the 114th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down with an individual who truly inspires me. Anthony Brown’s story of overcoming adversity is a testament to what the mind and body can achieve.

In 2009, Anthony was struck by a car and was in a coma for nearly a week. In a flash, his life was decisively altered. He woke up paralyzed on his left side and unable to walk. But this isn’t where Anthony’s story ends, this was his beginning.

One month later, Anthony gained the strength to stand and in just 6 short months, he played his first round of golf. Smiling from ear to ear, Anthony tells me, “All of life’s obstacles and the biggest problems you’re going to face, can be overcome by just getting up, and putting one foot in front of the other. It’s really that simple. You just need to take that first step”.

Anthony got his real estate license a year after his accident and has been helping his clients buy and sell homes in the Dartmouth area ever since. Today, he is on his way to achieving Chairman Club status, Top 10 in Atlantic Canada and Top 200 Teams in Canada.

This interview was elevating and educational. Anthony shares tips on how to succeed in real estate (start by checking out what the top agents in your office are doing!). He talks about making 500 deals a week, does a live roleplay and offers advice on how to get out of your own way to be a more successful version of yourself.

In the 113th episode of The Richard Robbins Show, I sit down with a world-class athlete, entrepreneur and fitness industry disruptor, Whitney Jones. Whitney is the driving force behind the Lean Life Challenge, a 90-day health journey that I recently embarked on and found it transformative for my eating and exercise goals.

Owner of Pro Physiques, Whitney has been competing professionally since 2010. At 34 years old Whitney competed at a local Arizona show as an amateur. From there, she moved up the ranks to compete at a National Level and in less than 1 year, received her Pro Card establishing herself as an IFBB Fitness Pro. She has now competed in a total of 35 Pro Shows, always placing in the top 10 in the world. 

Whitney is a single mom to two amazing teenagers and the first-ever mom to hold an Olympia title. “This has provided me with an amazing platform to help inspire women of all ages to continue to pursue their dreams without putting limitations on themselves,” she says.

In this fantastic podcast, Whitney and I talk about the importance of counting your macros and why knowing what you put into your body directly affects the output in your life. Whitney shares the secrets to living healthier, how to enjoy the grind of a healthy lifestyle and stresses why balance is key to your long-term success.
