In this special episode, our own Kyle Malnati, CEO of Calibrate Real Estate, delivers a motivational speech to the Bakersfield Association of Realtors at their Leadership Summit in California. Kyle was recently recognized by the Denver Business Journal as one of its “40 Under 40” honorees. He was also recognized nationally by Realtor Magazine as a “30 Under 30” honoree in 2012. After the “30 Under 30” honor, Kyle made it his mission to travel across the United States and interview the alumni members of this group. He wanted to understand what set them apart from the average real estate agent. Kyle collected the lessons and is in the process of writing a book about best practices for real estate professionals. The theme of Kyle’s work is that success is regularly born out of failure. His interviews include an introspective exercise called, “Dear Younger Me,” which often results in the “advice you WISH you KNEW when you were 22.”
During this keynote presentation, Kyle shares with the audience WHY he does what he does, how living debt free has positively impacted his business, and what three consistent findings he has found in his research from interviews of other Real Estate leaders. The three repeated findings discovered during these interviews related to the advice each leader would tell their younger selves. This advice centered around the effects of; influences, income, and initiative.
