“The words you communicate determine the profitability of your business.”
 
That’s a powerful statement by Tom Bresnahan, speaking and presentation coach to the Hollywood stars.

Once an accomplished movie actor himself, Tom, who is originally from New York (and still a Mets fan), started using his acting and silver screen chops to coach other stars, then countless CEOs, business execs, and other public figures.
 
In this podcast/video, I have a fantastic conversation with Tom thanks to my friend Kelly Resendez, VP of a large mortgage company and president of Big Voices Rise and the Foundational to Sustainable Success.
 
Kelly is a stellar coach, presenter, and mentor, herself, and was kind enough to introduced me to Tom and host us on this call.
 
Through our chat, I learned how Tim’s coaching business is flourishing, as he digs deep to identify and remove stumbling blocks that affect our confidence and mindset, helping people step onto the biggest stage of their lives and absolutely NAIL IT! 

In a world where public speaking is ranked ahead of dying as one of our top fears, the vast majority of us neglect our interpersonal communication skills. ​

There's no doubt that these are some uncertain and scary times, and that's exactly when we look to professionals and leaders to guide us. 

And Taylor Greer of Carlile Realty & Lending in Sacramento, CA, is one such leader. With decades of experience as a real estate broker, agent, investor, lender, and even on the appraisal side, Taylor has an informed, balanced view of the business like few others. 

So, I wanted to talk to Taylor this week as we're in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, asking him the important questions that are on the minds of homeowners but also real estate and mortgage professionals. 

Thanks for listening and spending some time with Taylor and I, and keep safe and healthy, everyone.

Your friend,
Norm :-)

Joe Semaan spent more than 13 years as a high performance sales producer and director across multiple industries.

However, during that time, like many, he also experienced the extreme ups and downs that often come with sales. 

After going broke twice and even becoming homeless throughout the journey, Joe became obsessed with searching for answers...like what separated the average from the TOP salesperson in any field?

That's when the magic happened. 
​
In January 2006, Joseph made a life long commitment to finding hidden answers, secrets, and knowledge that would soon launch thousands of people and dozens of organization to the next level.

For over a decade since, Joe has dedicated his career and life to understanding human performance in the business and sales world. 

Uriel Carrazco can save you millions of dollars. I may be in marketing, but that's not hyperbole.

As the founder and president of Innovative Tax Solutions in Sacramento, CA, Carrazco has long been the industry leader in specialized tax credits, saving his clients countless millions of dollars.

Whether they're a Fortune 500 company, and mom & pop grocery, a construction company, or, yes, a real estate or mortgage brokerage, a series of tax credits exist on the books, both on a federal and state level.

The problem is that the vast majority of consumers don't know about the New Employment Credit, the California Competes credit, R & D credits, and the  Work Opportunity tax credit.

And while most CPAs and tax preparers are vaguely aware of these niche credits, they don't specialize in them (and the regulations change constantly), making it impossible for them to find and execute these credits on behalf of their clients.
