480 - How to Keep Talent without Big Money
In this week's interview, Jason Martin, who leads one of the country's top real estate teams per the Wall Street Journal, talks about how video has changed his lead generation strategy and the super unique tactic he uses to attract and retain only the best agents. But what stands out is his view on personal growth and the priority he gives it in his professional and personal life. His perspective, and how he puts what he believes into practice, has the potential to fix what he feels is wrong in real estate—and probably a lot of other industries as well. Tune in to find out the one factor that distinguishes top performers from all others in every industry, why some of the most successful leaders are able to achieve a delicate balance that most of us are afraid to try for, and the adverse consequences of choosing a road our lives will travel on before we decide upon a destination.
