  • Episode 167: This Upstream Model Is Sure to Get Your Attention, with Justin Stoddart

    Justin Stoddart is most proud of being married to a superhero wife and being the father of six amazing children. In his professional life, Justin has built businesses over the past 20 years. In doing so, he's found his passion is to inspire people to see the potential that is within them so that they can be in pursuit of that potential, leading a happy and fulfilled life of greater impact.

    He is considered by many to be a real estate industry challenger by helping the title, lending and real estate industries to think bigger about the value they can bring into the relationships of their clients and others in their industry.

    He is the author of an upcoming book The Upstream Model, which is focused on helping sales and service professionals rise above being displaced and replaced by technology and low cost labor by increasing their value proposition, their ability to communicate that value and the size of their audience.

    He is the founder of Think Bigger Real Estate® and host of the Think Bigger Real Estate Show podcast in which he broadcasts a daily interview with a big thinker and high achiever.

As thinking changes, their actions follow, then their results and then their impact also follow suit.

  • Episode 166: Predictably Outsource Your Lead Generation, with Gary Boomershine

    Gary Boomershine founded RealEstateInvestor.com in 2005 out of the need to scale and grow his own real estate investing and home buying business. With a family legacy in the real estate niche and a long successful career in enterprise and emerging technology markets, Gary saw the vision for RealEstateInvestor.com. He noticed the glaring opportunity to leverage people, processes, and technology to gain a leg up in a changing and competitive marketplace. As he worked to develop and use the initial product and service, he saw his real estate business flourish by allowing him to work smarter – not harder and focusing on the one thing that makes money – talking to sellers and making offers. That's when RealEstateInvestor.com began offering its flagship product, REIvault, to the savvy investor market.

    REIvault caters to top producing agents, investors, and smaller hedge funds who are looking for a competitive advantage in their local markets. Under the leadership of Gary Boomershine, this service has launched a "technology revolution" within the real estate niche; offering an alternative to the MLS by bringing pre-screened motivated sellers and buyers face to face at the right time.

    Gary currently resides in Northern California with his wife and two daughters where he continues to manage a global team for RealEstateInvestor.com. He is actively involved in real estate investing and private lending. In his free time, he enjoys fly fishing, skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and traveling with family.

    What you'll learn about in this episode:

    • How Gary initially got involved in real estate investing, and how he made the leap to full-time investor in several different niches
    • Why Gary believes that real estate investing is about leveraging other people's time, money and resources
    • How Gary's three keys to success are having a good coach, participating in masterminds, and following the principles in Gino Wickman's book Traction
    • How to find and use the best coaches who are already succeeding in the business niche you want to pursue
    • Why one of the big mistakes Gary sees investors making is losing out on big money because they're too focused trying to save pennies
    • How Gary and his team do more marketing than anyone else in real estate, with more than 36 million pieces of direct mail and more than a million outbound cold calls
    • How Gary and his team offer a done-for-you service so you don't have to do it all yourself or hire a VA
    • Why implementing and increasing your volume of lead contacts are the keys to finding success in real estate
    • How Gary's "5-10-3" rule keeps him on track and focused every day, and how he learned the importance of leveraging other people
    • Why Gary's biggest advice for new investors would be to find one strategy and coach and stick with them, and to conquer your fear

    Chris is the best-selling author of Real Estate on Your Terms: Create Continuous Cash Flow Now, Without Using Your Cash or Credit. He's also the founder of SmartRealEstateCoach.com and the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast.

    Chris has been in real estate for over 25 years. His experience includes the construction of over 100 single-family and duplex homes (mostly in the 1990's and selectively to date), has owned a Realty Executives Franchise (Massachusetts 1994-2000) as broker/owner which maintained high per-agent standards and eventually sold to Coldwell Banker in 2000.

He also participated (and still does selectively) in doing condo conversions (multi-family homes to condos) and "raise the roof" projects (converting single-family ranches to colonials in growth neighborhoods).

    Chris has been a big advocate of constant education and participates regularly in high-end mastermind groups, as well as consults with private mentors. He runs his own buying and selling businesses with his family team, which buys 2-5 properties monthly, so they're in the trenches every single week.

    • Chris shares some powerful statistics, such as how lack of money is the #1 cause of stress, and most divorces are caused by financial issues

    • Why looking for a "quick fix" wastes both time and energy, and why sticking to something is vital
    • Why adding new habits to your day and replacing poor habits doesn't need extra time during your day
    • Chris shares various ways to get rid of counterproductive habits and reclaim time out of your day
    • Why you should first recognize your poor habits and make a list of them, then make a list of better "replacement habits", then choose one or two to start working on this month

  • Episode 162: Thriving In Chaos: Mindset and Teamwork, with Don Yaeger

    Don Yaeger is a nationally acclaimed inspirational speaker, longtime Associate Editor of Sports Illustrated, and author of over 30 books, eleven of which have become New York Times Best-sellers. He began his career at the San Antonio Light in Texas, and also worked at the Dallas Morning News and the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville before going to work for Sports Illustrated.

    As an author, Don has written books with, among others, Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton, UCLA basketball Coach John Wooden, baseball legends John Smoltz and Tug McGraw, and football stars Warrick Dunn and Michael Oher (featured in the movie The Blind Side). He teamed with Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade to pen the 2013 best-seller George Washington's Secret Six, a look at the citizen spy ring that helped win the Revolutionary War and then again in 2015 for Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War that Changed American History, and in 2017 for Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans: The Battle that Shaped America's Destiny.

    Don left Sports Illustrated in 2008 to pursue a public speaking career that has allowed him to share stories learned from the greatest winners of our generation with audiences as diverse as Fortune 10 companies to cancer survivor groups, where he shares his personal story. More than a quarter-million people have heard his talks on "What Makes the Great Ones Great." He collaborated with the Florida State University School of Business's Continuing Education Program to build a corporate webinar program focusing on lessons building a culture of success within an organization. This naturally led to another keynote speech on "What Makes the Great Teams Great." The release of his tenth New York Times best-seller, Teammate, was the inspiration for his newest keynote on "What Makes a Great Teammate: Becoming Invaluable Without Being Most Valuable."

    What you'll learn about in this episode:

    • Why not knowing when your current challenges will end means you have to act as if they will go forever and adjust your plans accordingly
    • Why teams go through certain phases during challenges: the rally phase, the "this is hard" phase, the "fracture" phase, and the "need for grace" phase
    • Why tough times should be treated like a "cancelled flight" rather than a "delayed flight", and why your team should make plans around the current environment
    • Why great leaders need to stay strong even during tough times, demonstrating hope to keep their teams motivated, and why regular check ins with your team members is key
    • What steps you can take to form your own mastermind group with other entrepreneurs facing the same challenges you are
    • Why it is important to limit your exposure to the news of the day to help maintain a healthy and positive mindset
    • Why being disciplined and making a plan for yourself can help you keep your focus on getting through these challenges
    • Why you should be asking yourself now what the world might look like after the pandemic is over, so that you can be better prepared and make better decisions
    • Why the elements of high performing teams will be the same in the future but may be executed differently due to changes caused by the pandemic
