In this podcast episode, Kevin and Todd share their success stories and discuss how meaningful relationships are for entrepreneurs. They discuss how they each faced difficult circumstances and worked hard to achieve growth and success. Through Todd's stories about himself, his wife Cindy, and his teacher Fran, Todd discusses how they started in the sales business. Fran gives Todd essential advice and introduces him to her 13 mobile home communities. He emphasizes the value of treating people with kindness and respect, even when it may not seem to have any immediate benefit. Todd also learned that doing the right thing can have meaningful results from his experience of picking weeds in his suit for a realtor who had slighted him. They also discuss the importance of networking with like-minded people and creating growth opportunities. Finally, they highlight their passion for helping those who don't know how to get to the level where they can buy a single-family home.
