Most People Don't... But You Do‪!‬ Bart Berkey

Most People Don't... start practicing their sport at the age of 3.

Most People Don't... earn a scholarship to compete in their passion.

Most People Don't... embrace humility and teamwork to find success.

Maggie Mace has done these things and more. As a student at Penn State's School of Hospitality, and as my former Social Media Intern, she continues to overcome obstacles and find ways to earn happiness as an individual and for her team.

We discuss;

-the role of mentors/coaches

-when others see talent in you that you hadn't discovered

-dealing with injuries and focusing on others

-staying positive

-absorbing all there is to learn, proactive communication, and curiosity

Today's guest is Eric Roseman, the Chief Revenue Officer of ⁠Xeal⁠, a technology first electric vehicle charging company
focused on supplying EV charging for the commercial real estate sector.



We talk about the power of Penn State, proving others wrong while being right, capturing weekly positive and negative accomplishments, and the importance of journaling and meditation.


He shares: "you've only got one choice. You can either be better than yesterday, you can be worse than yesterday, or you can stay the same. What's it gonna be? And it's just like, what are you gonna do today that made you better than yesterday?"



Like every single day you're racing against the person you are yesterday. So that's just how I've always been. I've just looked at every single day as like, you've got a chance to beat yourself from yesterday. Are you gonna be better or worse?


Eric spent nearly a decade at industry leader CBRE overseeing technology on the west coast and then Lincoln Property Company where he built out their technology investment division, LPC Ventures, before joining the Xeal team to grow their real estate relationships. He's primarily focused on bridging the technology gap for real estate owners and ensuring the future proof for the future of electrification. 




In addition he shares:

-I journal most days and even built a software platform that
analyzes your journal entries - http://writeemote.com/ 

-As a sales leader I'm in the trenches super super deep on
every deal vs. staying in the ivory tower. I don't believe in making high level
decisions without living the job of the sales rep myself 

-I do a Sunday night (+ / - / > ) which is my lookback on
what went well, what did not, and what I need to accomplish the next week

-I straddle two worlds, I can speak real estate fluently and
-I can speak technology and so I'm viewed as that bridge where our clients feel
like they're talking to a real estate expert even though I'm carrying the EV
charging product line. My sales tactic is to be the chameleon in the
room.

When I first met Meg, she was in catering in Washington, DC.  We worked at the same hotel when I was in room sales.  A senior leader at one point told her "you'll never be in sales."  She used that objection and obstacle to prove to herself that she was quite capable of DOING WHATEVER SHE DESIRED.  

Growing up in Philadelphia, she was the youngest of 7 children and was forced to be "independent".  She also had to hear from her older brothers and sisters that she was consistently "wrong"!  (In a loving way!)

From Vice President of Sales with MPI, to PSAV, to Bellagio- she shined in sales and as a sales leader.

Fast forward, Meg created two companies to solve problems in the meetings and events industry:

"eventsGIG, is the online talent marketplace for the event marketing industry to find and post jobs. eventsGIG connects organizations to top freelance experts for anything you need to execute a live, virtual, or hybrid event.

FazeFWD, Sponsorship Marketing
