33 || Define Your Fear
32 || Creating a Marketing Product
31 || Storytelling for Real Estate Professionals
Creating streams for warm leads for real estate agents, mortgage brokers, contractors, investors, property managers, developers, inspectors, appraisers, and anyone else who's business is real estate.
30 || Google's 2004 IPO Letter
In its letter to potential investors back in 2004 when it was about to launch its initial public offering, Google sets core values of taking risks and long term success.
29 || Cash Flow vs. Appreciation
A big debate in the investing communication is, "should you invest based on cash flow or appreciation?" I've heard many people argue for both sides of the debate. I was introduced to real estate investing through a cash flow first stream of thought. I can see why people choose to invest based on appreciation, but after listening to how Warren Buffet makes investing decisions, my mind is made up on the topic.
28 || Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, Repeat
A real estate investing strategy that super charges your investing velocity.
27 || Decisions, Decisions, Decisions...
A raw processing session where I was trying to figure what the next step was for me. This isn't a well thought out topic exposition. There are gaps of silence where I'm deep in thought. I repeat myself, feeling out the weight of different statements. I have many paths before me, how do I decide which one to take?
26 || Daily Grind 04: A New Morning Routine
Coming off a December of furious marketing activity and seeing no results for the effort and money, Q1 2019 started off a little rocky. It's forced me to establish a new morning that is healthier and more energizing.
25 || Taking Pride in Your Work
When you take pride in your work, or at least in the results of your work, other people will notice. Maybe that it is enough success.
24 || A New Breed of Beggar
My background says that you give to the poor always, no matter what their motivations are. Stepping into circles of wealth and aiming for ambitious wealth goals myself, what will my responsibility be to the poor? How much am I actually expected to give to beggars? And what do you do when it's clear that the beggar doesn't actually want food or water, but money for their next fix?
For me, in the back of my mind, I'm always examining Jesus' approach. In this case, "If you have two coats, and your neighbour has none, give them one of your coats."
23 || Working at RELAY Coffee Roasters
RELAY Coffee Roasters, started by Rachel and Jason Hofing, has been a life giving experience. They taught me how to be a damn good barista and a better person. I talk a lot in all my other episodes about wanting to transition out of my full time job, but the truth is, I wouldn't be where I am today without this job. So here's a tribute to the place and the people who have put up with me for the last 3 years.
22 || Barton Street Hamilton: Legacy and Vision
Barton Street in Hamilton always had a soft spot in my heart. It can do so well. It just needs the right kind of attention. It needs love for the community that it is. There's huge potential there. This is where real estate and passion collide for me.
21 || Brainstorming My Marketing Business
This is a raw recording of how I work through ideas. It isn't pretty and it starts slow, but it picks up steam. I've listened to this a couple times now and it pumps me up everytime.
20 || Building Out the Marketing Business
I have an opportunity to jump back into content marketing and it's exciting.
19 || Q1 2019 Recap
Sooo... the first 3 months of this year did NOT go as planned.
18 || Daily Grind 03
This was recorded back in January. A lot has happened in 3 months, so make sure to listen to the next episode which is a Q1 review.
17 || Daily Grind 02
16 || Security Not Guaranteed
15 || "Us vs. Them" is Lazy
14 || Risk, Art and Faith: Chrisy Hurn talks vulnerability.
And here are the instagram accounts she mentions in our conversation:
Scott Aasman (CRAZY art. Check him out.)
Meredith Park (I definitely lost track of time reading through her comics.)
13 || Deal Journal 02: William's First Rental Property Under Contract
PS. You'll notice I mentioned editing bloopers out, but the bloopers still show up in the episode. Anchor is a wonderful podcasting tools, but it's challenging when you want to cut out bits of audio. So the bloopers stay.
