Transforming Real Estate Education: Networking, Resilience, and the Future with Justin Colby

Desperation, brother, you know, classic story came through the crash of the real estate crash. I was a realtor that had no skills, zero. I was blessed by connections. Now I can go off on that. You'll make more money with the people you know than you will make by just doing marketing, right? You can spend all the money you want. Because of connections, I've been able to create the lifestyle I have.

They're amazing. And so, but I didn't create any skill sets, right? Because I would sit in a new home build. I'd get 18 offers a day on the weekends and we'd choose the highest one and I'm done. I did nothing.

So when the market crashes, so do I, right? I have zero skillset to be a realtor, right? I passed the exam, but I've never built a business. I didn't do anything. So when the market crashes, I crash. I had $120,000 car. I had a $500,000 condo. I had $40,000 of credit card debt because I was printing money. So I didn't care. I threw everything on an Amex. Gone.

So 2007, you know, we didn't have Facebook. Maybe we had MySpace, right? All the stuff that you and I are aware of now, podcasts weren't around. And so we didn't have the resources, but there was YouTube. And I saw some crazy kid with leopard hair flipping short sales. And in his YouTube video was an ad for this thing called Freedom Soft, which is a mutual friend, Preston Ely's old software app.
