In this episode of Winning Strategies Playbook, James Pederson welcomes long-time friend, fellow Marine, and police officer, Chris Blow. Chris talks about his experience growing up in Dallas, graduating from high school early, and his career in the Marine Corps. He also discusses his experience with the police force, and the different positions he’s taken, including being an undercover officer.

Chris also shares how jiu-jitsu has been a life-saver for him, not only as a way to help de-stress, but has truly saved his life in various moments throughout his career, where the ability to make split-second decisions can mean a matter of life or death.

He and James also talk about how empathy can be a great attribute in the world of the police, and why sometimes you need to look at the whole picture before you form your opinions on either side.

Have we finally arrived at the moment where selling your house is going to feel impossible?

And buyers, should you be sitting out waiting for those fantastic deals to finally emerge?

In this very special episode of Winning Strategies Playbook, James and Jeremy are joined by none other than Laura Spann. Laura brings her 20+ years of experience in the real estate industry to share what's really happening in the market, and why you probably shouldn't follow the advice of your neighbor/friend/real estate agent of 6 months who is telling you that you should wait it out before buying a home.

Laura brings real statistics to the table to give us an idea of what kind of market we are really dealing with. She also discusses what questions you should be asking when you hire your next real estate agent, and what answers would quantitate someone you would want on your team. Plus she talks about why asking for a commission cut as a seller probably won't be in your best interest.

As always, thank you to our sponsors:

In this episode(125) of Winning Strategies Playbook, our host and real estate expert Jeremy Spann welcome Christina Martinez , Owner & Design Principal of Palindrome Home.

James and our new host Megan Linder sit down with Christina to discuss the business she built after she was laid off during the pandemic. With a newborn baby, Christina found herself researching bone inlay, which was a specific type of artwork within the furniture. She was able to connect with resources overseas at night while up with her baby, and as they started losing retailers because of the pandemic, she found her opportunity.

That led to not just selling the bone-inlay furniture but creating and selling custom rugs. In just a few short years, Palindrome Home is thriving, and Christina shares her story of how she is growing the business, the obstacles she had to overcome, and what's next for her.
