Our guest today is a real estate juggernaut in the greater Philadelphia area and the number one ReMax realtor in Pennsylvania Maria Quattrone and boy, does she have some information to share today!  Maria and Jay get into the weeds on the current state of the real estate market in Philadelphia and beyond, what it takes to be a successful realtor in today's climate, and even some of the in's and out's of on the ground real estate sales from staging homes to listing description online and using social media as a valuable sales tool.  Maria is dropping a whole lot of knowledge today, so if you're thinking about getting into real estate or already are in the business, there might not be anyone better to learn from than Maria Quattrone!

Advisor, mentor, host of the "Openly Outspoken" podcast, and founder of Unicorn Investments and Unicorn Traffic Jeremy Adams has found his way back to The Culture Matters Podcast and we are over the moon to have him back!  We're bringing the heat early in this discussion with Jeremy explaining why he has taken a break from social media to focus all of his attention on growing his business, his take on the correlation between focusing on content creation versus focusing on operations, and why personal brand should take a backseat to the business you are trying to grow.  Jay and Jeremy are also unpacking Jeremy's journey from a low-income childhood to the successful adult he has become and some of the steps he took to get here.  Jeremy may sound like a laid-back guy, but his grit and desire to succeed are what have taken him to the heights he is at now.  Please enjoy this conversation with Jeremy Adams!
