I had a blast talking to my great friend, incredible real estate agent, and CEO of the tech company Broker Hive a couple of months ago.

Lyndon Hansen and I share a passion for the side hustle. We dig into his philosophies on work/life balance, growing a successful real estate business, and how tech such as Broker Hive can help both new and established agents hit their goals quickly.

Thank you!

A rising tide raises all ships.

This is the truth and a big reason it is so important for all business owners to learn how to contribute and build up the community around them. This conversation was inspired by a challenged from Dick Withnell at a YMCA event in Salem, Oregon. At the event he challenged the audience to think about who would be the next generation of community leaders.

Two people that immediately came to mind for me were Conrad Venti and Alex Casebeer. 

We were able to chat on a Zoom call last week. Enjoy hearing about 

Last week I had the opportunity to talk with Kyle Sexton and Tom Hoffert about myths circulating throughout our business community.

Those familiar with the podcast have heard Tom on previous episodes. He's CEO of Salem Chamber of Commerce and previously worked as Sales Manager for Don Pancho Authentic Mexican Foods.

Kyle is a thought leader in the business community and regularly speaks around the country as well as internationally.

Three myths we discuss:

1. Now is not the time to be pursuing new clients 2. For a business to succeed, they need to reinvent the way they do business completely 3. To survive, we need to offer drastic discounts

I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from the episode.
