How to Achieve Massive Success, with Massive Agent Dustin Brohm

Today’s guest on the Michael Valdes Global Podcast is Dustin Brohm. Dustin is the host of the Massive Agent Podcast for Realtors, a social media coach, and a top agent at eXp Realty. He got his start in real estate after reading Robert Kiyosaki’s famous book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad.” This inspired him to get into flipping houses, which turned out to not be a quick and easy path to wealth. He realized that getting his own real estate license would help him take more ownership of the process and a larger cut of the profits. From there, he took an interest in social media and learned how to use it to attract more customers to him, rather than go out and try to chase down customers. This led to him mentoring others and beginning a coaching business. He’s just now hitting the gas pedal after more than a decade of figuring out how to drive.

Shelley Johnson’s Vision of Impact

Today’s guest on the podcast is Shelly Johnson. Shelly is a great example of being strong in the fundamentals of real estate and believing in yourself. In 2004, she started in real estate, and in 2008, she moved from Charleston, SC, to Charlotte, NC, with her husband.

Rico Leon: Inspired by Anger to Help Others

On this episode of the Michael Valdes Global Podcast, I interview Rico Leon. Rico is the host of the upcoming TV show on the HGTV Network, “Rico to the Rescue.” This show is the culmination of Rico’s experience in real estate. He started in construction, then moved into selling real estate when he figured he could make more money that way. His background in construction gave him a different perspective than most agents, and he was able to more effectively serve his clients. As someone who knows construction, he’s also seen how bad contractors can really screw up a renovation, and his empathy toward his clients has led him to advocate for them. In his new show, Rico to the Rescue, he saves homeowners from bad construction contractors. Watch this episode to hear his background and the lessons he’s learned from building and selling homes.

Lee Lamont: Lessons From Britain to Texas

But when that corporate job was “made redundant,” he took to real estate. His simple principles – Outwork the competition, always answer the phone, do the right thing – made him successful. Watch this video to see how you can be successful by following the same principles Lee has.

Using Social Media to Your Advantage with Levi Lascsak

On this episode, live from NAR, I interview Levi Lascsak. Lascsak is a social media superstar. And he approached social media success the way he approached many things in his life: through “hyperlearning.” Hyperlearning, which may be a term he coined, involves studying as much as you can about a subject in 60 days and then executing on what you learn. He modeled success by finding people who are successful and doing what they did, with some minor tweaking for his goals and his personality.
