  • Episode 68: It’s No Secret, Real Estate & Insurance Have High Failure Rates The “failure rate” numbers are staggering for both Sean & Tim’s industries for agents who have been in the industry less than 5 years: Life Insurance Agents = 93%, Insurance Agents = 90%, and Real Estate Agents = 87%. Wow, but to honest, we’re not shocked. It’s hard to make it in real estate and insurance: You traditionally work for yourself, money is typically tight the first few years, and competition is fierce. Our advice: Know that the failure rate is high and use that as fuel to keep pushing through the mud. Motivational nuggets abound on this Bricks & Risk ep. Our goal with Bricks & Risk is that you walk away with 1 or 2 valuable nuggets that help build YOUR business. Our audience grows through word of mouth, so if you would please take a moment of your time and give us a review on the platform you’re on, that would be fantastic! Please also help spread the B&R word by sharing your favorite episode with a friend. You can find all B&R episodes on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and anywhere else you get your podcast content.

  • Episode 66: Authenticity in Business The words “authentic” and “intentional” have become popular business buzzwords during the last year or two. So much so, that’s it’s hard not to hear either and/or both of those words if you listen-to or watch business-based podcasts regularly. Authentic from the sense that you’re less scripted, people get to know you personally, and it comes across as more of a raw approach. Intentional from the sense that you’re tactful with your marketing and constantly catering to your tribe. In this ep, Sean & Tim break down from their own perspectives: who are you, and who are you not? Dig in to evaluate your own business approach!
