Richard Stone sells about $100 million of real estate each year, only working about 100 days a year. Sounds easy, right? But what you should know is that during those 100 days, Richard is knocking on doors 3-4 hours a day. And he is our esteemed guest on the show today.

Richard got his start in real estate in 1973. Over his 50 years in real estate, he honed his model of success. Step one: Select a geographical area (ideally one that’s walkable). Step two: Be the expert on the area. Step three: Go knock on those doors.

Along with his real estate lessons, Richard shares his life lessons with us. He tells us about his health struggles and the role that his faith plays in his life. He talks about his trips around the world and the importance of generosity. And we talk about how we’re going to invite him back on the show when he turns 119, if not a little sooner!

Laurie Reader grew up coloring with crayons under her parents’ desks at their real estate company. Now, she is ranked the number one real estate agent in South Florida, having helped 8,000 families and generating over $3 billion in revenue. If there is anyone who knows how to run a real estate company, it is her. We are thrilled to have her on the show today.

Laurie began her career with this singular mandate from her mother, who was also her boss: "Your job every day is: you don't go home until you've had five two-way conversations." Over her 30-year career, Laurie added a key ingredient to this approach: building trust.

Whether you are talking to clients, other agents, or your own team, the most important thing you can do is build bridges of trust with them, according to Laurie. Ask them questions about their lives, ask what they need, and provide a healthy, empowering environment for them.

Laurie is one of my personal mentors. I respect her so much. I really hope you enjoy this episode.

“Personal branding is simply the digitization of your reputation,” says Rory Vaden, best-selling author and co-founder of the Brand Builders Group. He joins us to talk about the intersection of character, reach, trust, and influence. If you’ve been struggling with your personal brand or just need a quick boost in remembering why you do what you do, this episode is for you.

Rory’s formula is: Results x Reach = Influence. In other words, your hard work and success, combined with a smart digital strategy, will empower you to change more and more lives. On the other hand, if you don’t have results—real substance—no matter how good your digital strategy is, you won’t last. As Rory puts it, “Your influence will never grow wider than your character runs deep.”

In the second half of the episode, Rory specifically teaches real estate professionals how to build their personal brand. He provides specific questions to ask yourselves, plus tips on how to be an ongoing asset to your community.

You’re going to leave this episode feeling more centered about your digital presence and purpose.
