Not because you lack experience. But because of the way you've been thinking abou...

Send us Fan Mail You've been thinking about persuasion all wrong. And it's quietly costing you, in deals, relationships, and rooms where decisions get made without you.

Send us Fan Mail There's a reason some events live rent-free in your memory for years, and it has nothing to do with the budget. Roxanne LeBlanc knows exactly what that reason is.

What she built from a single conversation, one most people would have been too...

Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest advantage you have in business right now… is simply being human?

Send us Fan Mail What actually happens in the moment someone says “yes”? Is it persuasion? Logic? Negotiation? Or was the decision made long before the words ever left their mouth?

Randy breaks down the belief that silently keeps people brok...

Send us Fan Mail If you’re an entrepreneur… this might be the episode you didn’t know you needed. Before you say yes to the next opportunity.  Before you commit to another strategy.  Before you convince yourself that working harder will fix it. Pause.

Send us Fan Mail It’s loud out there. Everyone wants a prediction. A crystal ball. A hot take on where real estate is headed next. So I did what any rational person would do.
