I am not a crying man. The only emotion that people typically see from me is anger. But today, I am reminded of a time when I was brought to tears. The year was 2006 and at the time I was working for a church in youth ministry but was living in secret sin. I …
I don’t always write about real estate, even though that is how I make my living. But every so often something happens that I feel obligated to write about in an effort to hopefully help distance myself from the deceptive behaviors I see on a regular basis in the real estate industry. Real estate inventory …

This is probably one of the most controversial things I’ve ever done. No doubt the things I say in this episode are polarizing. I will make enemies but I will also be applauded by the few who dare to speak up and speak out. The state of our political system has driven this country to the brink and I will not stand for it any longer. Will you stand with me for integrity, authenticity, and generosity in the midst of a corrupt, deceitful and greedy generation? If you’ve been an avid listener of this podcast, be forewarned…. $#!+@ just got REAL.

It is my mission to be authentic and transparent in all of my business activities, and sometimes that means shining a light on some of the deceptive practices that are prevalent within the real estate industry. Admittedly, this approach is not always met with enthusiasm. I don’t often enter a room to the sound of deafening applause, streamers and confetti whirling through the atmosphere, and choruses of “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow…” In fact, as you’ll soon discover, it has sometimes come at the cost of losing out on possible income because I have been unwilling to lie about the value of a home for my own gain. Nonetheless, it is my duty to you and everyone I come in contact with to practice what I preach…to be authentic and generous in a superficial and self-centered world.

In this episode, we take a look at how we entrepreneurial types sometimes allow our ego to run roughshod, which can ultimately be detrimental to growing as an individual. It is important that we have a proper understanding of our own strengths and weaknesses, and squash any and all desire to become puffed up in our own minds.

In this episode, I vamp on the idea of putting the REAL in real person. Authenticity and truth are your greatest weapon and your strongest attribute when trying to differentiate yourself from the competition. But forced authenticity is the exact opposite of authenticity. Be Yourself and live with the consequences. I’d rather be myself and sleep at night, than be what other people perceive as the model of success and professionalism.
