Yesterday was one of those days in the life of the entrepreneur that no one promotes on social media. I wasn’t hob-nobbing with society’s elite, I wasn’t shopping for my next sports-car, or rolling around in dolla billz naked. (Sorry, I felt like spelling it that way would get you to laugh.) Instead, I spent …
“If I want to still be able to support my family 5 years from now, I can’t ignore the overwhelming evidence that shows that my way of making a living today may not exist 10 years from now.” A lot of people wonder why I spend so much time creating content (The Acting Realtor podcast, …
There are moments as a father when you feel especially proud of your kids. It may be when they say their first word, or take their first step. Maybe it’s their first award in school, or the first time they stood up for what’s right in the face of peer pressure. These are all monumental …
I have some really exciting news! But first off, I think I need to back track a little to give you the full story. Back in October 2015, I came to a crossroads in my first year of self-employment. Was I going to just be another real estate agent or was I going to use …
Man, time flies when you are having fun. Somehow it’s been 20 days since my last blog post. I’m really sorry about that. As many of you know, I had been struggling recently with finding my place and regaining my confidence. Thankfully, I had my latest theater production to help with that a little. I’m …
First of all, thanks for reading this post. Many people won’t and that’s fine, but you are and I truly appreciate you for investing in my life and career pursuits. It’s been a bumpy ride at times but the fact that I am documenting every step of my entrepreneurial journey, the highs and the lows, …
I like to wear many hats. The trouble is that all it takes is a major life event to knock all of your hats askew. Ok, enough with the hats. I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while, piggy-backing off of my previous post about sacrificing your ego. Now I am someone who …
Are you willing to do anything for the sake of fulfilling your dream? Seriously think about that question. A lot of people flippantly say, “I’d kill for that,” and we know it’s hyperbole. But what happens when the path to your dream is lined with opportunities to compromise your core convictions in order to possibly …
Well, it happened. It only took a month but my first task and additional expense as a homeowner has shown its jagged teeth and breathed fire into my wallet. The central air system, which we knew was very old, decided to stop working and given the age and poor maintenance by the previous owner, it …
You’re never going to believe it. It happened again. However, this time it was a different scenario and was not caused by my feeble attempts at demonstrating athleticism. Last night I attended an audition for a play called “Don’t Drink the Water.” One of my goals for this year was to perform in a play …
Ok, so I’ve sort of been MIA for a while now. The truth is things have been a little hazy for me for the last few months. You see, I started this year, my 3rd year in real estate, with guns a-blazin’. I hit the ground running by developing a 12-part video series to help …
We made it! We moved and hell didn’t freeze over! What an incredibly satisfying feeling to have finally accomplished this goal which has been over 6 years in the making. My family and I owe a debt of gratitude for the folks who volunteered their time to help make this move possible. Troy Gahman …
I just realized that those of you who only listen to the podcast and don’t subscribe to my email didn’t get the update that closed on our new house. It’s official, we’re moving! And we’ve got a ton of work to do. We ordered carpets, which are being installed on Monday. That means we need to …
God answers prayers. How do I know that? Because He did for me and my family. Last Wednesday my wife and I received the news that our mortgage was going to be rejected on a technicality. It had nothing to do with our credit or our ability to afford the loan. It was strictly based …
Yesterday while preparing dinner for my family, I received two phone calls with horrible news. Both of them real estate-related. One of which could have a devastating effect on my family directly. I can’t get into the details now, but let’s just say the information packed a pretty good combination of jab and right hook …
Now that spring is in full swing (see what I did there), many theaters are casting their upcoming seasons. I already have several auditions scheduled and am hoping to be able to lock-in my performance schedule for all of 2017 in the next few weeks. I am trying my best to add credits to my resume …
A lot has been going on in the last few weeks so I thought it would be good to update everyone on where life has taken me and my family. Family Update My family and I have started the process of packing yet again, but hopefully this time is for the long haul. We are …
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 …
