7FF 518: The Power of Being Vulnerable

January 20, 2022

About This Episode

I just had an incredible conversation with Nick Lamagna—a real estate investor, podcaster, and good friend.


We talked about things like…


- The importance of live events and how to get the most out of them…


- How to find your “tribe” and why it’s 100% necessary if you want to succeed in real estate…


- The power of being authentic and vulnerable (even if it makes you “look bad”)...


- How to break out of analysis paralysis (if you’re being too cautious)…


- How to stop swinging at everything and find your focus (if you’re struggling with the opposite of analysis paralysis)…


- Why reading 50+ books per year is a bad idea (and what you should do instead)...


- Why you should trust your gut when partnering with people (and what happens if you don’t)...


- Why it’s better to “learn less” and “do more…”


This was one of those raw, honest conversations that touched on so many things it’s hard to summarize it. But it was so refreshing to dig into this stuff… and I know it will be valuable for you to hear it.
