    A Sales Journey From Diageo to Homes with Jackie Dabrowski | Episode 133

    Send us Fan Mail Since we started interviewing people in residential real estate, we have typically found one of two paths as to how they got into it: 1) Family/Friend, or 2) They stumbled into it. Jackie Dabrowski is a shining example of someone who stumbled into it, but had the work ethic, drive, and confidence to keep it moving forward and grow her book of business year after year. Not only did she grow it organically, helping one new client at a time, but she's a firm believer in being a valuable connector for her people. Watch this B&R ep as Sean & Tim dive deep with Jackie to understand what drives her in business, but also, how she got to the level of success that she did.

    Clients For Life, Why Trusted Advisors Always Win | Episode 132

    Send us Fan Mail You've probably learned by now that Sean & Tim focus on "the long-term" when it comes to business: relationships, Marathoner's Mindset, trusted advisors, you name it. This ep specifically talks about why focusing on being a trusted advisor will help you win day-in and day-out no matter what new technology comes our way. In other words, it teaches you to leverage your humanity to build your business. We touch upon AI, transactional sales, and we even go in the wayback machine to talk about the dot com boom/bust.

    Hidden 401K Risks & Building Wealth with Pete D'Amico | Episode 131

    Send us Fan Mail As we continue to chat with more business owners who are not in the real estate or insurance industries, we sat down with Pete D'Amico at Dynasty Advisors. While Pete & Tim have known each other since Bishop McDevitt High School, and Sean has known him almost as long, they all continue to hang out and do business together today. It was not until many of our friends started living in Manayunk, Phila. that Pete started out in Finance. A Food Marketing major at St. Joe's, finance was not originally in the cards for Pete; but sales and hard work were. Grinding it out since 2002 as a Financial Planner, Sean & Tim dig deep to learn where Pete's work ethic comes from, and how he has kept his head down all these years.  Big shout-out to our show's loyal and dedicated sponsor: Property Management Redefined.

    1% Will Succeed with Most Sales Coaching, and 99% Won't | Episode 130

    Send us Fan Mail "Just get on the phone. Just go knock on doors. Just create 3 social posts and 5 stories a week." Anyone in high-level sales, such as real estate or insurance, has heard these things before, and it almost makes someone feel like an idiot if they're not doing these things. Right? Here's the truth, it's completely normal to try a sales/marketing technique, do it for a little bit, and then stop doing it; way more normal than most "experts" will tell you. Maybe you liked it, and maybe you didn't, but that's not the point. In this Bricks & Risk toppy, Sean & Tim level with their audience as to why it's okay to fail, but why it's not okay to give up if you want to succeed. Dig in to hear us preach, haha.  Big shout-out to our show's loyal and dedicated sponsor: Property Management Redefined.

    Buy, Scale, & Repeat with Greg Hogan | Episode 129

    Send us Fan Mail Some small business owners grow organically, and some grow through acquisition (aka M&A). There is no right or wrong way to grow, only YOUR way. Greg Hogan is a shining example of that. Because he "maxed out his time" at a previous job, he believed that buying an existing agency was the best way for him to hit the ground running ... and he was right.
