New Rules of Real Estate – the Nat’s Assn of Realtors Settlement featuring realtor Angelo DePaola

The National Association of Realtors changed home buying rules and they’ve been in effect about a month. Home buyers will now have a new conversation with their realtor when they go to buy a home. The realtor will need to negotiate a fee with the buyer. Previously it was in the background as the deal went forward with a typical 6% commission split between buyer’s agent and seller’s agent. Now, that’s all changed and is highly negotiable. 

Angelo DePaola has seen this coming. It’s no surprise. He thinks it will make the best realtors stand out even more and the “hobbiest” realtors who sell homes as a side-hustle slowly go away. We discuss how he now has to give extra effort at defining his value to home buyers and what it means for realtors going forward.

The Use of Questions as a Fantastic Leadership Skill with Bob Tiede

Telling people things allows them to disagree with you. Asking them questions allows you to understand their perspective and allows you to align with their ideas before directing them. Bob Tiede is an author of the book Leading with Questions. He and I discuss the power of questions as a leadership tool.

Ron Holt of Pink Zebra Moving – Upending the Tired and Stale Moving Business

The business of moving and movers. Pretty tried and true. Very little room for disruption, right? Wrong. Ron Holt has upended tradtional businesses before and is doing it again. His first was Two Maids where he based the payment of the service providers on the evaluations of the customers. The result? Huge efforts from the cleaners to please the customer and treat them well. He’s taking this same non-tradtional thinking to Pink Zebra moving. The movers play music. They buy the homeowner dinner. They have a great time. It’s about reimagining the stale and throwing some energy and ideas into it.

The Business of Weather with Rob Lightbrown

With all the free weather apps avaialble, why pay for a forecast? Because Crown Weather offers something a bit more, a bit personal. Rob Lightbrown offers a subscription only weather forecast that gets into the weeds of the weather. I was referred to him by a retired banker who used Rob’s service to help his agricultural clients try to prepare for the storms that may destroy their crops. I spoke to Rob a few weeks ago where he predicted that by late July and early August there would likely be some tropical storm activity forming. And, as I write this today, right on cue, there is prediction of a storm in the Atlantic to arrive around August first. Rob offers something additional to his subscribers, too. Want a weather prediction for your picnic? Your outdoor wedding reception? Your high school football game? He’ll gladly reply to your request with your own personal weather forecast for your event. Pretty cool.

Brandon Smith & Wills Moore – Author v Editor Book Review

Leadership consultant and author Brandon Smith has written a book that I’ve had referenced to me too many times in the past weeks to simply ignore. Called Author vs Editor Dilemma, the book is a management and leadership guide with simple plans for turning your employees into a more highly productive team. It’s a simple concept – as the leader, too often you’re an author, telling people what to do. You need to edit – guide their behavior and leave them to take initiative. On with Brandon and me is Wills Moore. Wills is an executive coach and uses the book in his client interfaces. Wills shares stories of the book has changed his client’s efficacy.

One-Third of the Nation’s GDP is Moved Across the US’s Inland Waterways. That’s a LOT!

Cline Jones spent time as a boy watching the locks and dams near his home take and receive tow-boats on the river. The attraction of the work was deep and he signed up to be a part of that industry. Today he’s the Executive Director of the Tennessee River Valley Association and the Tennessee-Cumberland Waterways Council. He knows the numbers: the 12,000 miles of waterways transport 1/3 of the nation’s GDP; 541,000 jobs come from the inland waterways; 15 barges equals 1000+ 18 wheelers or 216 train cars. There are 219 locks operating today.  And it’s the locks and dams that worry him the most. Many are well over their 50 year life-cycle for which they were designed.  We discuss the waterways, their infrastructure, and their threats.

AI & What It Can Do – Some Straight Answers From Kai Gray

Lots of chatter out there about AI. Lots. Every day some some sort of news about how it will make our world unbelievably better and another about how it will be the end of humanity. I reached out to Kai Gray to ask him to answer some questions – what can AI really do? Aside from being the best source tech help I’ve ever found, what can it do for me? Today? Right now? It wrote me a sonnet to read to my wife on Valetines Day (which my wife thought was the most romantic thing I’ve ever done until she learned the truth) but what practical application does it have for me, right here, today. Well, listen to find out.
