#podcast #RealPersonRealNeeds #actingrealtor In this episode, I ask for your help. I’m thinking about changing the title of the podcast. Over the course of the last 16 months, the podcast has evolved in ways I couldn’t have anticipated, and in order to clearly communicate to the world what to expect when tuning in, I think …

#podcast #RealPersonRealNeeds
Things have been a little insane over the course of the last two weeks. Previously on the Real Person | Real Needs podcast, I mentioned that my wife and I recently were able to get pre-approved for a mortgage after over 6 years of being trapped in rental world. I thought that working in real estate would make buying a house a little easier. I WAS WRONG!

#Podcast #RealPersonRealNeeds Since we last gathered on the podcast, I performed in my very first cabaret on Valentine’s Day as part of Season 6 of the New Voices Cabaret. As far as I’m concerned the night was a rousing success. Aside from a flubbed lyric here and there, the crowd genuinely seemed to enjoy my …

This past week I spent more time in the mall than I care to admit. No, I wasn’t doing Christmas shopping. Actually, I was turning the tables and making the mall work for me. You see, when you work in Real Estate, there are certain times in the year where things tend to slow down. Typically the end of summer right before the school year, and as the holidays approach. So being self-employed, you try to find creative ways to make some extra money around the holidays. What brought me to the mall was the prestigious opportunity of performing… market research.

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.

“I would have it inscribed on the curtains of your bed and the walls of your chamber: ‘If you do not rise early you can make progress in nothing.’” ~William Pitt Chatham

#RealPersonRealNeeds #podcast

I love sleep. LOVE IT! But I am realizing more and more that I need to apply myself and get up early if I want to accomplish my goals each day. More importantly than getting up early, is using the time you have in the morning to get yourself ready mentally, spiritually, and physically for the day ahead.
