Brian how are you?
Brian Evans:
I'm doing well how are you guys?
Jack Butala:
Doing great. So nice to have you on the show.
Brian Evans:
Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. I'm happy to be here.
Jill DeWit:
I got to ask this question first Brian, where are the entrepreneur awards events held and how do I get on that list? What is this award? I love it.
Brian Evans:
I was awarded marketer of the year in 2015. It's a group of primarily marketers mainly internet online marketers but I was voted on by over a hundred of my peers in that area. I'm a part of a bunch of different groups so this is not like some nationally recognized thing but I'll tell you what the trophy is the same trophy they hand out at the Grammys. It's pretty darn cool.
Jack Butala:
That was just my exact question. Do you get to go up there and hold a trophy up and thank your mum and stuff?
Brian Evans:
Yeah, kind of. In an informal goofy kind of way but yeah it's pretty cool. We do a lot of stuff. We run TV commercials online, radio, you name it. All of our successes and the stories we shared led to winning marketer of the year so that's pretty neat. It is a neat experience.
Jill DeWit:
That's really cool. I love it. Tell me about some of the books that you've written are they e-books? Are they on kindle? Can I find it in a book store?
Brian Evans:
Good question. If you go to Amazon you can actually type in a couple of those books and they will pop up. Three of them are physical books, some of them are courses, some of them are e-books. The three physical books are: "How To Make Money in Your Local Real Estate Market", "The New Masters Of Real Estate", there's another one on there on Amazon which is "The New Masters Of Online Marketing". The other ones are more proprietary that I hand out to my clients and partners and so forth.
Jill DeWit:
What's interesting is that I have to ask this question because we come up with answers all the time. How do you find the time to do these side projects oh and by the way while running your normal business?
Brian Evans:
That's a good question. I have staff, I have employees that help me out and they are amazing. If not for them I wouldn't be here. Any entrepreneur we just have this bug and we are just never fully satisfied so we have to constantly take risks and challenge ourselves for whatever reason. That's part of it.
Jill DeWit:
You call it a bug and I love it. Steven calls it an illness.
[laughter]
Right Jack?
Jack Butala:
Exactly.
Brian Evans:
Same thing, sure, sure. It's fun I mean what else are you going to do with your life. Sit around?
Jack Butala:
I have to do it. I am convinced that these careers they choose us. I didn't choose this career.
Brian Evans:
That right. It's great. Real estate is awesome which is why we are on this call.
