We had fun making this one, folks. Not only is it a topic that hits home with both Sean & Tim, but it's also a concept that rarely gets discussed within the real estate and insurance industries. Reason being, marketing "ideas" come out every day and they're easy to find; right there for the taking on socials, YouTube, you name it. Marketing "plans" are harder to create, organize, and follow through with. On this ep, we dive into the difference between a marketing idea and a marketing plan, and also provide insight on how to distinguish one from the other. Nuggets galore!

Shaun Gavaghan is a shining example of a scrappy entrepreneur. He's a problem-solver, a risk-taker, and a hard worker. From starting his insurance business from scratch (with 3 children and a stay-at-home spouse) to refinancing his car to help with start-up costs, he does what it takes to keep moving forward with his vision. This one is super-educational, but also packs plenty of laugh-out-loud moments; Shaun G's a George Carlin fan and has a great sense of humor. Sean M. & Tim ask some tough questions in this B&R ep, and we hope you enjoy listening/watching as much as we enjoyed recording it!

As an agent in residential real estate today, you have choices as to how you want to structure your business: solo agent, team member/leader, or brokerage owner. If you're just getting started, you'd likely start as either a solo agent or team member. If you're seasoned and productive, you could graduate to a team leader or brokerage owner. Because there are so many different ways to do it today, it's good to understand a few things upfront. What are your goals with your real estate career? Why do you want to grow? Are you better off alone or with a partner? In this ep, Sean & Tim dive into the pros and cons of all the directions you can go as an agent!

Dig into this one, as Sean & Tim talk about the ways they have been consistent in their businesses and lives, and continue to follow that mantra today!

Rarely do you see in the residential real estate industry an independent brokerage owner that also happens to own mortgage and insurance brokerages as well. Meet Rob Schuck, a childhood friend of Sean's and a "small business triple threat." On Rob's ep, Sean & Tim talk about the current Philadelphia real estate market, predicting home vales at the South Jersey Shore, and an angle to the NAR lawsuits that most have never even considered. Great convo with a great entrepreneur!

We did it, we made it to 50! One of our past podcast guests told us that only 1% of all podcasts have 50 episodes or more, and whether that is accurate or not in December 2024 is not what matters; we prepped-for, created, and released 50 podcast episodes ... that's what matters. Not only have Sean & I handled all of the broadcasting and marketing on our own, but we've also had a lot of fun along the way. From Tim making fun of Sean's phone, to Sean calling out Tim randomly to make him think twice. We've legitimately created a show, a vibe, and a community from scratch. We could not be more proud of our accomplishments, and more thankful to all of our listeners and watchers for their loyalty and support. Cheers to 50 more!
