Our Process: First a new topic is introduced by video. We will cover some of the most controversial topics in the industry such as commissions and pay structure. After viewing we ask that you provide your thoughts and honest feedback on the topics Second the conversation will revolved around a series of podcasts that talk about the best comments that were received that month, which is judged by how others rate the comments with thumbs up and thumbs down. Again, more comments are needed after podcasts are released. Third we do a google broadcast with the people who had the best comments of the month. This is where the real magic and change can happen. Openly discussing the biggest issues with people from all over the industry is how we can move it forward.
