The Luminary Agent Podcast

Do you ever sit down to have a conversation thinking it's going to be good, and then being shocked at just HOW good it really is? That is how my conversation with Adam Buchanan went. In this episode, Adam and I get into a little bit about: * his history PRE (pre real estate) * what led him from bartending to getting his real estate license * what he did to become rookie of the year (hint: it's not new) * the changes he's had to make in his life and the struggles he's had in his journey *...

I had the distinct pleasure of interviewing Jennifer Seidelman, Productivity Coach at Keller Williams Realty Professionals. Jen and I talk about the 3 pillars of a successful agent.

I ask Jen some specific questions, all of which she answers thoroughly and insightfully. Questions like: * What does it take for an agent to be successful? * What do you see successful...

Today, it's just you and me, kids, and we are going to talk about… personal brand! Here's the thing: I think personal branding has become one of those buzz terms that gets thrown around a lot but is hard to actually define what people mean when they say it. I mean, lezbehonest, it can cover a lot of different things. Do you actually mean brand identity or do you mean your reputation? Do you mean both? Neither? Today, we're going to take a deep dive into what I think people like Gary Vee and...

I had a really hard time coming up with a title for this episode because my guest, Ali Hasenkamp, brings so much wisdom to this week's podcast.

My interview with Jay Puppo unlocks some amazing insights into how focusing on ONE Thing at a time makes all the difference between mediocre and phenomenal success. Jay grew his insurance business to the number one business in the entire country. But it was taking its toll. He oftentimes worked until 11pm and didn't feel like he really knew his wife or his amazing boys. Then, a real estate agent he shared an office with—who used to be his 11pm commiserating buddy—sent him an email with the...
