Bricks & RiskEpisode #83: Just Keep Going with Dustin BrohmSend us a textSometimes in business, rookies ignore veterans who provide simple, sound advice, such as: "If you just keep doing it, you'll get better." It almost sounds too easy, right? It also sounds like there must be an easier way, correct? Sorry to break the bad news, but there isn't. Success in real estate, or business in general, takes hard work, consistency, and a never-say-die attitude. Dustin Brohm delivers nugget after nugget on this one. Sean & Tim have...2025-07-2940 min
Bricks & RiskEpisode #82: It's not about you, it's about them.Send us a textIt's very easy in business, when creating, curating, and posting content, to focus on yourself and how good you are at what you do. In all honesty, why wouldn't you tell your network and followers how good you are at what you do and how much you enjoy doing it? But, that approach does not always provide value to your viewers. In fact, it can turn them off, if you're not careful. In this ep, Sean & Tim talk about why it's important to think...2025-07-2229 min

Bricks & RiskEpisode #80: The Life of a Small, Independent Business OwnerSend us a textThe daily life of a small, independent business owner (aka entrepreneur), is not something that is talked about often. Actually, the general topic of daily life is so infrequent, it's hard for us to find other podcast content that focuses solely on it. Yes, there are plenty of business and marketing podcasts that teach you how to market, build, and scale a business, but there are few episodes that talk about the actual lifestyle and how to get through it.

Bricks & RiskEpisode #76: What is the difference between a "Scarcity" and "Abundance" mindset?Send us a textAs much as Sean & Tim joke about "glass half-empty" and "glass half-full," we both believe in the abundance mindset.

Bricks & RiskEpisode #74: Why do consumers assume real estate and insurance agents are all the same?Send us a textGood question, and a fair one as well. Sometimes, those seeking the services of a real estate or insurance agent believe that most of them are held equal. For real estate, they just open doors, write paperwork, and get paid. For insurance, they just field calls, get quotes, and get paid. Right? Wrong. In fact, real estate and insurance agents are some of the most valuable professionals in the service industry. Why you may ask? Well, buying, selling, and leasing the right home, as well as protecting your...2025-05-2946 min

Bricks & RiskEpisode #66: Authenticity in BusinessSend us a textThe 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 & Tim2025-04-0354 min

Bricks & RiskEpisode #62: What Should We Measure for Agent Success: Volume or Profit?Send us a textIn residential real estate, the "industry" tends to favor those agents who have closed a lot of deals. This is known as "volume," which is the total added dollar amount of the sales you close in a calendar year. This is also why teams are widely considered a more popular model today, as they are capable of closing more volume than solo agents. The problem, high volume doesn't necessarily mean high profit. High volume can come with a hefty price tag in some instances, but it just depends. Sean2025-03-0638 min

Reason being, marketing "ideas" come out every day and they're easy to find; right there for the taking on socials, YouTube, you name it. Marketing "plans" are harder to create, organize, and follow through with. On this ep, we dive into the difference between a marketing idea and...2025-01-2339 min
