Episode 257 (Season 8, Episode 10) Season 8 Outro It’s the end of the season as we know it. It’s the end of the season as we know it. And we feel fine. (Name that song!) The verdict is in!

Episode 256 (Season 8, Episode 9) Create Supplemental Income I think we can all agree on two things:  1) red M&M’s are the best and 2) things have been tough with real estate lately. We all love it when everyone is selling their homes, but how do we handle those moments when things are slow? We preach to “double down” on your real estate efforts, but if you must, looking for another source of income may be the preferred solution. Let’s explore some options and dive deep into the Wright Brothers. We’ll also listen to Megan recoil in horror after being set up by Todd to fun of...

Episode 254 (Season 8, Episode 7) Build Your Brand If there was ever an episode that we did our best to avoid offering details on real estate-related materials, this might be the one! Frankly, there is more talk about Adam Driver than brand marketing. So much so that we’re worried that Mr. Driver himself may come after us! (Especially considering that he has family in Indiana, so we’re basically in his backyard!) If you’re short on time, the main takeaway is to work on building your brand, since it’s essential to the success of your business. However, If you’re long on time, enjoy...

The Boom Real Estate Podcast

Episode 251 (Season 8, Episode 4) Increase Your Lead Gen Efforts We don’t even know where to start, so we’ll just be blunt with you. The Boom Team, (mostly Todd and Terry), spent the first 15 minutes of this episode, (and much of the rest), fighting about how a car’s A/C works. Did either win the argument? You’ll have to listen to weigh in. So to recap, on our 251st episode, we simultaneously put together what could be argued as both the best and worst episode ever! Who do you stand with—Team Terry or Team Todd? Give it a listen and let us know if you think this was great or awful....
