Losing a Job, Gaining a Purpose Tyler Robb’s Real Estate Journey YouTube | Ep.45

[00:00:00] I'm in the same boat, you know, the same thing. Husband, kids, career, all that stuff. You want to be the best of all those things. And there's a phrase that a mentor once said to me was, and not or. I can be the best dad or I can be the best husband. It's like, no, I can be the best dad and the best husband.

[00:00:16] And I think it just comes down to accepting the fact that for me, the biggest thing has been like understanding that these things take time. I think I've done a good job of building my business and seeing success in that area of my life while still being a good dad and a pretty good husband. Could my business be further than it is right now? Sure it could have, but it would have came at the sacrifice of my relationship with my wife or time with my kids. And it's just that and not or. How do I have both of these things at the same time? And it's, I think you just gotta learn to be a little patient.

[00:01:08] Hey everybody! Hey! We're back? We're back. Was that my normal intro? Yeah. What do I normally say? I think that's what I'm saying. Hey everybody! Hey everybody! You almost sound like that doctor on Simpsons without the accent. I'm Dr. Nick. Yeah. Hello everybody! It was pretty spot on. Fuck. That's how I sound? Yeah, a little bit. That's awful. The tone, the tone. It's almost identical. Is it fake? No. Does it sound fake?

[00:01:37] I don't mean it, so it probably sounds fake, but that's fine. I don't know how to start. How do you start? You've been doing a great job for 44 episodes. 44? This is 45, yeah. Holy shit. There you go, nice. Well done. We're almost coming up to two years, which is pretty fucking exciting. Well, and I was reading some things and like most podcasts don't make it past one year. Yeah. Oh shit, really? Yeah. Like 90, more than 90% of podcasts don't make it past the year.

[00:02:06] Well, and it depends. Are you weekly? Are you daily? Twice a week? But they don't make it past the year. But yeah, it's that one year, it's like, you know... I think that's a milestone. Like I think based on that data, it's a milestone. Some people get into podcasting to make money and really like it's... It's like... What, all six people that have actually made money doing this? Well, exactly. Like, no, podcasts... Not all Joe Rogan. Yeah. Exactly. I'm just waiting for my hundred million dollars. Thank you. And podcasting is not a...

[00:02:34] It's a hobby and it's like, this is why we do it because this is form of a therapy for us. Like, we talk about shit that matters to us. Yeah. It matters to our listeners, our guests. Like... Well, we just do what people give us feedback to keep doing. Absolutely, yeah. And like, what we feel like doing. Yeah. So it's not even about our agenda so often. No, yeah. And it's fun. It's nice to get together and... Well, and we're like, even with our guest today, Tyler, welcome. Thank you.

[00:03:05] Hey, no worries. I'll do a more formal introduction at some point. But like, you know, we have this conversation before we have guests on and we talk about a little bit about like, hey, what do you want to talk about? What are we focused on today? But like, we really focus... Actually, we like to leave it to just be kind of freeform conversation. Yeah. And I think we've sort of intentionally decided that over a time where we've been doing this. Like nothing is scripted, yeah. We've kind of figured out what we want to do.

[00:03:33] And like, we know that like, being a dad and being, having a career and being a provider like are significant things. And like, which means probably if the three of us feel that there's a large percentage of men out there that also feel that and so are interested in that. And so that's kind of what we maybe try and guide the conversation to, but not even, we just kind of let... When we have guests, we kind of let the guests like guide us where they want to go. Yeah.

[00:04:02] We're gonna get lost boys. Perfect. Oh, that's a great movie. Did you bring him up? Lost boys? I'm in. No. And the other thing is to like building new relationships and new connections. Like it's, it's unbelievable. So two episodes ago we had Graham on and I, that was the first time I met him and we've connected so well. And, and then the following episode was me talking about me going through some stress and, and going on stress leave.

[00:04:32] And then like, he reached out to me. He's like, holy shit, dude. Like, here's my number, you know, if you want to talk, like it's, it's so nice. And like, I've, I've met so many great people that you knew before and they came on here and like through talking to our struggles. Well, me too. Like vice versa. Yeah. Like we've, we've developed these new, new friendships and relationships with friends, with other men. I had a friend text me the other day, an old friend who I don't really see very often anymore, but he texted me and he's like, let me get this straight. Actually, you know what?

[00:05:01] I want to read the text exactly what it was. Okay. I gotta get my phone. Uh, he sent me a text and said, so let me get this straight. You have a podcast. It's great. And you've had three of my closest friends on it. I had no idea. Wow. So he knows he's very close with Graham. I've known him since I was probably 14. Yeah. Uh, he's super close with Graham. He is super tight with, uh, Oh, what's his face? Lee Gorin.

[00:05:30] Oh, it was like one of our first episodes. Yeah. He's super tight with Lee Gorin and he knows Glenn super well. Oh wow. Okay. So he was like, what the fuck you're doing this podcast. I've never heard of it before. Yeah. And like, and then I guess he listened to some episodes and was super pumped. And obviously like his friends episodes, like let's start with those and hear what your friends had to say. But yeah. And he, now he wants to be a guest. Like I asked him, and also he'll be a great guest. Did you tell him we charge?

[00:05:59] He won't be as good as Tyler, but he'll be a great. Well, he's a fire. He's a firefighter. Oh, wow. Nice. That'd be good. So, another lazy employee. Is that Dano? But like... Is it Dan? Yeah, Dan Thomas. Oh, okay. Yeah. Do you know Dan? I don't know him, but I've heard stories about him from Glenn. Yeah. Like they're like best friends. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He had an incredible amount of trauma in my life and supported me through...

[00:06:28] He was a mentor to me when I was young. Yeah. You remember you talked about him. Yeah, yeah. When my best friend died when I was like 16, Dan was one of the people next to me when I had to go through that for the first time in my life. Holy shit. Small world. Dan's been a very significant part of my life for a very long time. Mm-hmm. So, he wants to come on and be a guest, which is great. Oh, yeah. Wonderful. But speaking of guests, we have Tyler Rob here today. Hello. Uh... Welcome. Thanks for having me. Tyler Rob is my summer friend.

[00:06:58] And so... Seasonal friendship. It's a seasonal friendship. We're recording... It's February. You guys are hanging out? It's weird. It's actually super weird. And awesome though. I love it though. It's great. Yeah. Tyler and I play golf together. Okay, yeah. Average twice a week, every week during summer. Yeah. And we actually became friends through that. I didn't know who the fuck you were. Nope. Me and another friend of mine, John, we play... Anyone who's listened to my old podcast, Johnny Vegas. Yeah.

[00:07:29] Love that. Who's gonna be a guest on our show at one point as well, yeah. At some point, he'll make an appearance, but we're just waiting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um... So Tyler and I, it was... And I don't actually remember entirely the story. I was gonna tell the story. Do you wanna... Okay. Yeah, it was... We'll do the check... Okay, we'll do the check-in after. Tell the story first. Okay, so... Yeah, I joined Pine Ridge to golf, and the whole point was to meet some new people. Yep. Started a real estate business, and I needed to start making some connections, and I said to my wife...

[00:07:59] I sold her the whole thing, I sold her on the idea of like... You built the pitch? Yeah, I built the pitch, and I said to her, I'm gonna go get a golf membership. This is business-related. Yeah, this is totally business-related. Smart. Smart. 100%. I need to go meet some people. I hate golf. Yeah, I already like golf, but I'm gonna go... Neither John or I have bought a house from Tyler, for the record. Not yet. But right, so... So the whole thing was like, I'm gonna go meet some people, I'm gonna golf two, three times a week, and the whole idea is I'll meet two or three new people every week for the first little while, it'll be great.

[00:08:28] And the first week I did that, second week I did that, I met some older dudes, some younger dudes, and then I got paired up with Tim and John, and then I immediately stopped meeting new people. Like we just... We finished the round, it was a good round, and they were like, hey, it was fun, like you wanna do this on Thursday again? And I was like, yeah, okay. And then it was just like every... It was like, hey, book the tee times for next week, Tuesday, Thursday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, done. And then we just did. Yeah, you were on booking this last year. Yes, I was. I did an okay job. I did it before. You did do an... You did an okay job. Yeah.

[00:08:59] You did an okay job. Had to make a few last minute phone calls and got something there. So that's how we met. Oh, yeah. Like we were just... He showed up on our tee time one morning, and we played golf together and it was fun. It was like... Golf's this weird... You spend so much time with somebody. Yeah. Like you really do, and like I can go into the reason is business reasons, I think, whatever. But you spend all this time...

[00:09:28] You spend hours with somebody. Walking in nature with them in this beautiful environment, getting frustrated, getting angry, being super excited, and you cheer each other on. Yeah. And you make jokes and you rip on each other. And like, it's all like... It's this weird thing where you do that. Yeah. It's the fucking best. Yeah. And it is the fucking best. Like it's so fun for so many reasons beyond just golf. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. And you'll never like...

[00:09:56] You spend so much time together doing this thing, but so much of that time is spent just interacting. Yeah. And you're waiting for the group in front of you, or you're waiting to tee off or whatever. Or you're walking to your ball, and your mind usually way on the right, and you're like, the floor is usually in the middle, but like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But it's interesting, and it's fun, and you get to know... Like in one round of golf, you really do get to know somebody a bit. Oh, yeah. A hundred percent, yeah. And so we spend...

[00:10:25] And John and I are not the easiest people to integrate into our sense of humor in our world. Like, I just thought there'd be a day where you guys would be like, hey, this has been fun, but we're done. Yeah. Yeah. But you took it like a champ, and like, you actually are very... Like we all have a lot of alignments together, and like it's been such a positive thing. And so I've very much enjoyed our summer friendship. It's interesting having you here today, because I just... Like last winter, I don't think I actually saw you. No, we didn't.

[00:10:54] It was like October, see ya. Between the end of golf season until May. Yeah, see you in May, yeah. I mean like we can get into this later. Let me text a little bit, but like, we literally don't see each other in between. Yeah. And it's like, I also don't feel any less connected to you when we see each other again in summer. It's like you pick up right where you left off. Yeah, it's been easy. It's been an easy... And like finding golf partners is not always the easiest thing. No. Because you have to first and foremost get along really well as people. For sure. Sure.

[00:11:23] And then secondly, you have to appreciate the way they golf. And that doesn't mean they're good or bad. No. You can be good or bad. I'm terrible. But like, you have to respect the rules of the game and the way you all believe in the rules of the game. And the way you interact while you're out playing the sport. And so there's a lot to it. 100%. Pace of play. Pace of play is everything. Like, we play in the mornings. So in the mornings, you gotta play fast. Yeah. Like it just is the way it is. Yeah.

[00:11:52] So fucking whatever decision you're making, I don't care, but do it quickly. Yeah. And so like, we finish our rounds. Like the average round of golf is four hours. Yeah. Ish. And ours are in the mornings. Six if you're drinking. In the mornings, the expectation is like three to three and a half. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And so like, you're moving, you're hustling. Go, go, go. And like, we just all found a lot of alignment in how we play, what we like to do. And so it's, it's actually this, it's super funny because it's this huge part of my life.

[00:12:20] My wife has never met you. No. Your wife has never met me. like there is he doesn't know my i know he has kids i've never met them yeah i honestly couldn't tell you their names today but like for three years we've spent more time together than i have with almost anybody else yeah it's weird it's you know when you put it that way it's true like well yeah twice a week three and a half hours like that yeah like that's yeah that's and like twice a week all summer like that's a lot of time together i don't hang out with you that much no i

[00:12:50] don't think so not off mic no and so like it's this weird friendship that i that means so much to me but also like it's under these conditions and we just haven't chosen to go beyond that and it's not that we couldn't and wouldn't enjoy it no we did a comedy show this year we went to uh that's true we did we went to start to venture out of the golf course we're venturing slightly we're we're moving out a little bit now you're doing a podcast no it's fun and it's just i i do appreciate our

[00:13:19] relationship very much and it means a lot to me and even though it's somewhat seasonal yeah it does mean a lot to me all right back at you well and the thing is something about golf like you know most people that don't play golf like you guys like myself it's oh i'll go join a tournament have some drinks have a good time right like that's that's my golfing i'll play two three times here i'm happy and uh and like we want it we want cards like i'm not there to exercise i'm not you know i want to

[00:13:48] have fun i want to have a drink in my head i drive a golf cart yeah yeah but like you guys like yeah it's it's a really good exercise so you can like if you book your tea time you and obviously you guys join a club so you're paying a membership so you want to use it as much as possible because he uses it a ton because he doesn't do anything but we'll get to that yeah we're gonna unpack that a little bit later but that's the nice thing that like so now you're forced to go so you book your tea time whether you're having a good day or shitty day it's it's a really good way to unwind and just forget

[00:14:18] your troubles forget what you're going through and like you're out there walking you're getting oxygen to your brain you know like it's sunlight yeah exactly so like we all i only play morning and so like and it's not too hot but it's warm enough that you can still go in the shorts and and enjoy that morning uh sunshine right so like i don't wear shorts 100 yeah yeah you don't you're always i think shorts are a travesty to golf oh i'm gonna wear short shorts you do or short shorts

[00:14:46] you have a picture of that you can post that yeah i think i did with blake when blake was on yeah oh yeah because he was part of that that's so funny so tyler is a uh he's a young father yes of young men one boy one girl right yeah pardon me a young man and a young lady um he's a married man he's a realtor he has his own career and so we're gonna dig into some of that um talk about

[00:15:16] your story and your history to get there and what life's like now so get insights of realty stuff yeah yeah see how much he's really making and too much it's always too much but no but yeah let's check in we thank you for being here and uh let's do the check-in okay i haven't talked about it for a bit i kind of got tired of explaining it all the time but

[00:15:44] we do a check-in uh one to ten yeah um how are you feeling where are you at uh i use my wife and i started this and i don't talk a lot at home actually just don't i could see that i don't talk a lot in general or i do i don't know but not a lot and so i'm not this big open book at home was always puking my feelings on my family yeah so we found a number system kind of works the best to

[00:16:12] figure out like mostly for her where i'm at yeah so we use a number system so we brought it into the show and we start kind of every show with the check-in which is like and you can pick the timeline it could be today it could be a month it could be it doesn't matter yeah but like just where you at so we'll do tommy and i'll do ours and then we'll do yours and uh you listen to a couple episodes so you kind of understand the concept and um it's an unbelievably helpful very quick gauge to see where

[00:16:40] somebody's at yeah awesome we do a similar thing within our brokerage we have a coaching program where a handful of us agents meet on a bi-weekly basis and kind of go through a similar thing okay cool so tommy where where are you at uh so since my last episode uh i i don't even i don't think i gave a number last time but it was a low it was pretty bad yeah so um i've been

[00:17:07] off work right now for almost four weeks ish yeah oh damn um just uh went on stress leave it was just too much everything was piling up and uh you know there's an opportunity for me to try to get better a little bit so i i am i feel a little overweight uh out of shape um you know my knees

[00:17:31] are cracking when i'm trying to stand up and backs hurting all the time so before this happened i really wanted to start working out and and just kind of did a little bit for one week and then all hell broke loose and just really hit the wall and um so since then i went to the doctor i got some

[00:17:54] blood work done got some not so good news and then i actually had a checkup today with my doctor oh did you okay yeah like a little follow-up and so he did put me on some uh some meds uh for like a um it's a serotonin booster and um it's only 10 milligrams so nothing crazy it's not like an

[00:18:17] antidepressant or anything so it's been it's been working um i have i've had have had good days and bad days yeah uh more bad days than good ones but the good ones were really good so better yeah okay so like the excuse me the bad ones were kind of like i woke up and i'm just like you know what i had a list of things i try to make a list of things to do the next day like this is what i want to

[00:18:46] accomplish because that checking off things have it's a little reward we talked about that we talked about that on the last show or the one before yeah and so it's a little reward for yourself accomplishing something right and so i woke up a few days and it's just like no i can't i i was like i have to do my exercise because to fix my back going to physiotherapy so i'm like i do that and then i sat

[00:19:11] down and and you know put on a show or watched a movie or something you know i was like i love watching movies and like that that's kind of fills my cup if you you know if you have a half empty cup can i challenge you on that sure yeah right now yeah go for it does it fill your cup or does it distract you from reality i think it i think those are two different things i think it does a little bit of both because uh like so me me and my wife before we had kids like we were at the movie theaters like

[00:19:41] two three times a week yeah so it's it's a little bit both uh it's definitely definitely a distraction yeah um um but it's also like i love watching movies that my wife wouldn't watch with me you know yeah um like i like sometimes crazy uh alien concepts or or like horror movies and things like that uh so it's nice that like now i can actually watch it without being interrupted or

[00:20:06] oh it's too loud turn it down or whatever you know so it was a little bit of both um which is okay like yeah and i'm not criticizing and then i know that that was that was a valid question yeah and but then i saw i was still trying to do something you know but then there was days where like i woke up i'm like yes i'm i'm doing my my stretches i'm gonna go to the gym now uh did a little bit of workout i did the dishes i cooked i cleaned the bathroom you know like it was really good and then i was like

[00:20:34] oh fuck my back's hurting i need to sit down now a little bit yeah so from where i was last time right now i would say overall i'm about a five okay so which is my normal is about seven eight yeah and uh and i i do fluctuate very fast like if something good happens oh i'm feeling great like today was a great day i woke up and uh hung up my family got is actually home today so we had a good

[00:21:02] morning together and uh last night i hung out with friends a little bit went outside i was outside till 1 a.m uh playing sponge hockey on the river by the fire oh sweet friends that i haven't seen yeah you had a night last night yeah the friends that i haven't seen like in it's awesome i can see the appreciation in your eyes no no but you know friends i haven't seen in like five six weeks like since christmas so it was really nice to go out there moved around a little bit i didn't want to

[00:21:28] push it too much but uh it was just a nice time to to be outside and again like it was fucking cold last night it was nice beautiful night but it was like hockey inside an arena last night yeah it was freezing yeah yeah no it was it was like a minus i have a picture i'll throw it up there for everyone but like my whole face was like the beard was just frosted yeah yeah well you got the beard and everything so it was and like we started playing and instantly like within five minutes i had like

[00:21:55] icicles building up but like it's such this is what helps me get through winter i look forward to these activities you know like playing spongy on in the league playing hockey with my guys on friday playing spongy on the river and like so i i've the last two two three weeks i really need to needed to and and have to focus on me yeah you know what i want to get better i want to do like even uh i actually so i reached out to therapies that uh i have eap so through work so they're going to

[00:22:23] provide me a therapist but it's an actual therapist that answers the phone so they i spent about half an hour and i'm sorry this check-in is a little long but no this takes what it takes but uh they ask me questions like okay like you know they ask me questions like are you suicidal are you wanting to hurt somebody else or blah blah blah always and then yeah yeah my co-host and uh but uh but you know they ask me like okay are you do you get up do you shower do you

[00:22:53] take care of yourself do you do things you love what's your hobbies do you do those hobbies and and when i when they ask me those questions i'm like holy shit like yeah i i haven't been doing those things like i haven't been doing the hobbies that make me feel good now part of me doesn't want to do that because i have a wife and kids and like if i do that i gotta go to work the next day and then i'm tired and then i'm useless for my family right so um so part of it i didn't do it because of my

[00:23:22] family so and and because i made that decision not to do it but like i was like okay now i have the time to really go to the bottom of it what's making me happy and how i'm going to manage it going further because i do have to go back to work yeah i have to resume my regular life yeah and that's that's that's the hard like the integration of i get to do anything i want or a lot of the things i

[00:23:50] want throughout my day tying that into like i also have a responsibility to like yes provide for my family and if i don't work i can't do that and so like those are and we're going to talk to tyler about that quite a bit i think and like lots to unpack there yeah and like that's that's tough like i i and just one more thing i want to say i had a really good conversation with my wife don't rush yourself it's fine and like it's all good i i had a conversation with my wife uh

[00:24:18] because i see the toll it's taking on her right now like she obviously wants me to get better so she's like just do what you need to do i'm gonna push through and like it fucking breaks my heart to like see her struggling because i know she's struggling she's struggling with some health issues she's struggling with you know she's got lots of work she also does side business you know

[00:24:42] um she's taking care of our two wonderful kids and like always making sure everyone is like on point she's got her own plate yeah and and so like i i actually like hugged her and gave her a kiss and just like thanked her for like putting up with my shit because you know i said few things and she kind of got worried about it like where i said like oh i just i don't know how the future is

[00:25:08] gonna look like you know but i'm trying to do my best you know and i know it will be and she was kind of worried like well what are you talking about exactly you know so i said i want to be the husband that she deserves and then she's like well no like i don't want you to be somebody else i'm like no no no like this is from my point of view like i want to be this good husband that takes care of you that really like holds you above everything all other than the kids yeah uh but like you know i like i i

[00:25:35] really wanted her to know that i appreciate everything that she's done for me yeah because without her i i don't know where i would be when i think we like and maybe this is something we should get into at some point but like i think we we aim to be the best version of all these things we're supposed to be yeah like i need to be the best husband i need to be the best father i need to be

[00:25:59] the best employee or business person or entrepreneur and like i how the fuck do you do all of those and not feel like you're like it's a balancing act yeah but it's always a balancing act of like against for me it's always a balancing act against like which one do i have to give on and then how long do i have to give on it till i get the thing from the other one and like i want to be an amazing

[00:26:26] husband i want to be an amazing like it's not that i don't want to do those things that's right but like is there hours in a day do i have the energy i also want to be an amazing friend and i want to be like an amazing person enjoying the amazing things that i do and like yeah there's only so many hours in a day and like i struggle with that man i struggle with that all the time like i always feel and how do you how do you approach that from a motivational standpoint rather than a defeatist standpoint right

[00:26:54] yeah oh i'm just never good enough of all of these versus i'm good at all of these and like i just want to try being better at them yeah and how do you use that to like can i be better at this or is this just constant failure right and like that's a real thing that i'm saying about my life like yeah and i know it's your check-in no no no but yeah i don't need to bully in but like it's that's the struggle for me

[00:27:21] is like i want i in the deepest part of my soul i want to be the best dad i want to be the best husband i like those two things before everything but like i want to be so good at my career and successful and like i want to have fun with my friends and i want to golf with tyler every week and have a great time and like how do i do all those things without feeling like i'm failing at one of them right yeah yeah so so is it a mentality switch is it uh is it the way you approach it is

[00:27:50] it accepting that like not everything has to be perfect or you're never going to have the time for everything and you just got to do your best and like prioritize and juggle it's like it's funny as you say that because like on the way over here i was thinking about things i could talk about and that was actually like a big chunk of the topic was this always fucking happens yeah yeah yeah yeah but it's true because like i i'm in the same boat you know the same thing husband kids career all

[00:28:17] that stuff you want to be the best of all those things and and there's a a phrase that a mentor once said to me was was and not or and you know i can be the best dad or i can be the best husband it's like no i can be the best dad and the best husband yeah and i think it just comes down to accepting the fact that i'm an impatient person naturally by nature i want everything like yesterday yeah me too you never the same that way yeah so for me the biggest thing has been like

[00:28:46] understanding that these things take time you know i i think i've done a good job of building my business and and seeing success in that area of my life while still being a good dad and a pretty good husband could my business be further than it is right now sure it could have but it would have came at the sacrifice of my relationship with my wife yeah or time with my kids and and it's just that and not or how do i have both of these things at the same time and it's i think you just got to

[00:29:13] learn to be a little patient and you know here's a steady climb it's hard it's hard to accept uh i'm going to use the term mediocrity but not mediocrity but like i know what you mean it's hard to give yeah on stuff yeah like and i think tyler you and i aren't that different in that sense but like and tommy you as well but like it's hard to give when i know i could be doing x but also i have to do

[00:29:39] y z and a like i can't give the same amount to all of them yeah like i just can't like you literally just can't oh it's so tough like we'll be sitting there like it'll be dinner time and like my phone will go off and i'll be sitting there going like i can answer these i do it all i want to see like a house in the morning and if i answer right now i could book maybe i'll get that opportunity yeah and like i create urgency that maybe doesn't exist so true and it might be with my daughter it might

[00:30:08] be with my wife it might be with my work i for sure work is yeah if i was to bring one of those to the table that probably needs more balance it's my work yeah and maybe and probably you as well yeah and probably you as well and so like it's it's interesting it's just like how much am i willing to give and what's the balance and like it's i like that and or or thing yep i think there is a way to be all of those things and do great at all of those things and maybe it's about me tapering

[00:30:38] what my perspective is on what that means to be great at that yeah what is your expectation like i can't spend i can't spend every night with my daughter for six hours hanging out and connecting yeah and your wife because then i can't do it with my wife and i can't do it with my work yeah and i can't do it with my friends so like it doesn't it it doesn't work so everyone has to well not

[00:31:02] everyone i have to find balance yeah that satisfies and satisfies me and those people and that group and that that thing well and it's funny it's it's like a self-discipline thing too where you have to say like okay i'm gonna work from nine to five today whatever the hours are yeah that's my time for work at five o'clock i'm going upstairs i'm gonna hang out with my kids like for me three o'clock my kids get home 3 45 i try to shut it down from there and then at five o'clock like i do most of the

[00:31:29] cooking in our house i take over dinner so like from 3 45 to seven ish is like pure family time and and we try to i try to stay self-disciplined with that and make sure that i i lock that stuff up but at the same time too like like we were saying like uh time with the kids time with the wife and like sometimes my kids are like hey dad like just kind of want to play yeah yeah you can go now it'd be fine my daughter's getting old enough she's getting to that point oh yeah like she doesn't necessarily

[00:31:55] want to hang out yeah you're like what are you doing also i fucking hate like it i don't like it well we've talked about this my daughter comes home is like hey how's it going good okay bye and then she goes that's it and like that's that was great but you also realize the like it's it's great in a sense that looks like okay cool maybe i can hang out with the wife now or i can like do some work because like you were 16 years old did you want to hang out with your parents yeah and it's like no

[00:32:22] you need me like you don't know this but you need me now more than you ever have yeah like i need to spend time she's my daughter's 13 right so like i need to spend time with you now more than i've ever had to spend time with you and also you want to spend the least amount of time with me now than you've ever wanted to opposite ends of a magnet yeah and so it's just like two magnets like and she she's amazing and we like we find these things we do together to spend time together yeah and so like

[00:32:51] we get to do those but sometimes like hey you want to watch an episode of squid game we're watching squid game together and some nights she's like no not i'm kind of doing some stuff you're just crushed you're like i was like oh what yeah that's like okay well i kind of banked on that so like now what do i do yeah mom's taking a nap i guess i'll work like yeah fuck me i guess i'll go back to my desk

[00:33:15] right well and that's the juggling right pay for your fucking stuff like that's the juggling of of responsibilities right like you have to almost wing it sometimes yeah and my wife and your wife and i'm sure yours too like yeah they do such an exceptional job of like adapting to all this constant change that we're going through and like this feeling and i'm sure the two of you feel it the

[00:33:41] same but like this deep-seated feeling of needing to be a provider yeah and so like uh like i know your wife works tommy and i know your wife does some stuff yeah she's got a side business i think you carry a lot of the uh i don't sure financial weight of the family yeah i think you're responsible for a lot of that yeah and i think we all feel that and right now like my wife is carrying some of that

[00:34:09] and i'm carrying some of that and we kind of go back and forth and we split it and we like have found some good ground to do that together and like i never feel happy about it but like also thank god she does it yeah yeah like for sure if she didn't do x like maybe autumn couldn't do certain things like so i've been in sort of entrepreneurship mode for a number of years and like that story hasn't been it's a very colorful story and hasn't been super positive for a lot of it and so like

[00:34:38] i've i think fuck every day that my wife like has a career and a business that she's super successful in and like awesome thank god she can do that so my daughter can go to private school and like that that's not a brag that's just reality and you guys can do the things that you want to do like whatever's your important we can do most yeah yeah no we we've talked about it too with my wife so we got wayside yeah i was just gonna say like we're just gonna check it out yeah that was like

[00:35:05] how are you doing it doesn't matter now like let's just get it i think we should do tyler's though like well just give us a rough number like you know just like just so i'm a very busy and uh my brain is super busy these days but i'm a five five okay yeah so i'm a five between so i kind of level out of the seven like if i'm really great sevens you see me at a seven most of the time okay

[00:35:32] yeah gotcha yeah that'll make sense to you so you gotta give a little bit of context but like uh i'd probably like a five i've got a lot going on um as i always do but things are shifting and i won't you think you're not gonna get into that right now but like uh i'm going through a lot of different changes in my life uh in my in some of my career stuff and so like it's just a heavy load autumn's full-blown in volleyball season and so like that's five six days a week which is limiting

[00:36:01] some of my time for myself for my wife it's limiting some of the time with her so it's just a big shift yeah and so like that's been we're right in the thick of it we're just starting the thick of it and so it's just it's a lot i feel like you have lots of mental mental juggling yeah yeah i think physically i feel we've been on this diet thing for two weeks again now which i've done off and on for years and whatever i feel great yeah physically i feel good and like i'm i'm

[00:36:27] yeah i feel good in that sense other than the hangovers from this weekend but like uh but mentally i'm mentally i'm like very taxed and like have to try and i'm digging deep to do everything i'm doing okay tyler yeah um so yeah i'll what's your what's kind of your norm and then where are you at today it's probably the best way to kind of yeah i'd say i'm probably my norm would be like an eight

[00:36:53] and a half i tend to be a pretty upbeat happy-go-lucky that's true normally in a good mood i don't understand that big paychecks is happy so happy to hear that though like i love when people come in here and they aren't fives like yeah yeah because i just want to learn something like what are you doing yeah so i mean like that's

[00:37:20] probably my norm right now like you like it's for my industry this is the this is the shit season it's slow it's it's nobody wants to move nobody wants to move it's fucking winnipeg in the winter and we're it's literally minus 40 outside right now like it's so cold and you know with everything going on outside in the world people are hesitant with some things and it's it's a slow time of the year and with that comes you know financial stress and then just stress like if you're a business owner

[00:37:48] and you get up and you go to work and there's no work to do it's like how fuck am i even doing yeah so that's kind of what you know december to end of february kind of brings every year and it's you know our broker talks about it too it's like january blues like every agent's like oh i'm gonna have to sell my business or start like i'm gonna go work at home depot yeah then march 1st comes and your phone starts ringing you're like oh no it's it's good that's

[00:38:14] good we're fine i'm gonna make it now does that give you opportunity to do more dad and husband stuff it totally does and for the first few years so i guess like so right now i'd probably say if i'm normally eight and a half i'm like i'm like a seven okay a little bit lower than usual but just coming with just a little extra stress and things like that my first couple years i didn't know how to do that take advantage of this time because it's for me um mindset is a huge thing for my

[00:38:42] mental health how i approach problem solving how i approach everything your mindset is is going to determine how you kind of come out of whatever situation that you're in and for me i've always tried to have a cup full cup half full uh mindset and um when i first got into the business i came from a nine to five life corporate ladder you know always chasing a promotion i always i'll get a raise next year kind of thing all that crap so when i took on my own job and my own business i thought like

[00:39:12] oh i have to be working like 18 hours a day seven days a week because that's what everybody says failing yeah dwayne johnson says you wake up at 4 a.m and you work till 2 a.m and like if you're not doing that you're gonna die yeah so yeah it's true though like in that we're pummeled with that message yeah like never stop from the the from from ourselves we do it to ourselves well and i think that comes from like your motivation to be successful and i do think there's some value in

[00:39:40] the drive the message of the drive i think there's value in that once you learn how to kind of control it i think it's it's a really good thing you find a home for it for yourself yeah the first the first few years though like this time of the year was terrifying i stressed out like i i'm never gonna sell another house oh it's awful dude the first the first year does no one prepare you for that yes and no yeah okay like people tell you i guess you you have to experience it yeah it's one of those

[00:40:08] things it's kind of like the bird leaving the nest like you just jump out and like you fall for a bit before you start flapping the wings that's right yeah okay yeah so hopefully you figure it out before you hit the ground and uh that's kind of what the first year was i didn't sell so i got my license in july i was lucky i kind of while i was doing all my schooling and getting my license i was kind of filling the pipeline i came from a sales world i knew how sales worked yeah so when i joined the industry i hit the ground running and i was able to make a few sales right away

[00:40:36] and then november came and it just died and november to february i didn't sell a single house and like for anyone who doesn't know how real estate works oh dude that's super there is no bi-weekly paycheck yeah when you know no and like so if you sell a house like november 1st if possession isn't till march you don't get paid till april so even if you sell like i didn't know that yeah so even if you sell four houses in december you still don't have any money yeah yeah it costs

[00:41:05] you money to sell those houses that's right and then you're stuck waiting until the deals close and so that's what they say like you gotta have like six to eight months of money you well you really have to be good at budgeting and like kind of like okay like this is what coming in so you know you know how you'll you have to be really good at managing your money 100 you have to be really good at man and i'm not or i wasn't like i sucked at it you probably had to get good pretty fucking

[00:41:32] quick yeah it was again bird out of the nest yeah yeah yeah um there he is which sometimes is the best way to learn 100 for me like not everybody but like i think we under duress we figure it out the thing is you you you you fall and and you have to get up but how you get up and how you move forward that's that's what that's what determines right so it's okay that you you went through these struggles

[00:41:57] but as long as you learn from it yeah yeah that's the way it should work right we had a small nest egg that we had like when i got into the industry um and i can tell that story later if you want but um you can tell it now if you want it's fine okay all right so sure let's have right in so i was in the auto industry before i was in real estate yeah so i sold digital marketing um and i

[00:42:21] worked with dealerships and had a lot of connections there uh the pandemic happened i got laid off march 30th 2020 got laid off and i'd never been laid off or fired in my entire life i'd quit a few jobs that those bosses may have said i've been fired but i quit uh nice yeah let's go with that yeah 100 so you can't quit you're fucking fired you can't fire me i quit so so i got this phone call

[00:42:50] and it's like yeah we don't have work for you like stand by and i was like what the fuck i did not i'm like i didn't like that in fact someone just told me that i couldn't work and real estate had always been people always say this like oh yeah i've always been getting real estate for me it's actually true when i was 21 i looked into getting into real estate i wanted to i had a great job paid great money real estate was big risk i'm like why would i do that i have a great job i love my job i'm making good money everything was great so i didn't do it but then at this point i'm like you

[00:43:19] know what fuck it and the pandemic had just started so the pandemic and i i've only told this story to a few people but like the pandemic was like the best thing that ever happened to me and i don't mean that like the pandemic was awful yeah yeah you can say that that's yeah it makes sense makes sense it was great because it it gave every like i couldn't go anywhere yeah right there i couldn't do anything

[00:43:44] uh i was forced to stay home so like the courses for doing real estate i mean like in the grand scheme of things the bar is quite low to get your real estate license but it does come with a lot of tests and reading and shit you got to do and i was able to just stay home had nowhere to be yeah i devoured those courses and i was like decided you know what i'm gonna get my real estate license no one's gonna fucking tell me i can't go to work ever again and i'm gonna work as hard as i want to work i have been chasing like i said like this corporate you know promotion more money the latter

[00:44:13] yeah the latter right i was so sick of it i hated the whole corporate atmosphere i hated everything about it i didn't i didn't fit i wanted it because i wanted i wanted the rewards well you wanted to move up yeah like i want that fucking carry rewards of course yeah which is what corporate does yeah and you know what honestly some people work well in that absolutely 100 and i've got just not one of them that's okay i'm certainly not one of them yeah i've got a friend who it's it's what he does i did

[00:44:39] it for one year and they couldn't we both could not wait to part ways after that year was over i could see that yeah i could see how that i had to do it for one year and then we could not fucking wait to be done with each other there you go well and it was good so like i got into it and then it was had nowhere to go from the moment i decided you know what i'm doing this i think it was like april 4th i was licensed selling houses by the end of july okay so you got on it like super fast yeah

[00:45:07] and then in that time it could have been faster but they were they weren't holding exams because of covid and they were this and that so it was delayed i could even done it even faster but um i started the business got going right away and and that whole process was really quick started selling houses started seeing some success but immediately was able to figure out like this is going to be like i didn't have like failure wasn't an option for me yeah right my wife you know we had just had it we our son was two she was pregnant or my daughter was just born

[00:45:37] okay so i had like a newborn at home and a two-year-old son and like i need to provide i'm like holy shit like this can't this is real yeah this needs to work and uh so every morning i woke up and she knew that and like my wife is just the most amazing i said this once we were on a family vacation and uh we were going around the table we were talking about our significant others and things that we love about them and things that drive us crazy that's always a fun exercise yeah isn't it

[00:46:04] great yeah that's good i don't know that's that i call it thin ice depending it doesn't it depends on what you say it depends it doesn't leave the arguments but it should be a good thing when it came to me like and everyone laughed when i said this and we look back on it now and it's funny because this is what do you you know my wife's name's claire and she said what do you love about claire so like we just make the best team and everyone was just like that's so lame no that's real

[00:46:29] yeah it was real and like now to this day we say it all the time like we are we make a great team we talk about like you know being that best husband and that provider i couldn't be the provider that i am without her without her yeah like if she people like you know she has her own side business and you know like oh so she doesn't work i'm like oh no she works she she makes her job is to make sure that i can do my job yep and we that's a job and that's work oh yeah for sure it is she disappears

[00:46:55] for six hours man and our house starts falling apart i'm just like it's crazy what the hell happens oh it's insane it's insanity she was the literal i know every guy says but she is the literal glue that holds all of our stuff together so i think a lot of us can say that like i i think naturally women have that that instinct or that that we want to be careful what we say here i know

[00:47:19] but but i think they just they just have like naturally are like uh like i look at my parents and my mom's guides my dad like yeah this is what we need to do and then my dad's like okay actually i saw a video the other day like that's a perfect relationship where the woman is like this is what we're doing and a guy wakes up like okay well i think i think a woman guides the family yeah from a different perspective there's that nurturing a man provide a man can provide for the

[00:47:45] family a man thinks about providing and survival but i think a woman thinks about longevity and uh making sure that everyone's together and the home like my wife thank god thinks about like the home and what's the experience everyone's having in the home and like in our within the dynamic is everyone okay yeah yeah and like what's good for autumn what's good for tim what's good for me like we don't

[00:48:11] i i don't think about that the same way she does and i think we're wired differently and like thank fuck we have them yeah and so you're but my wife and i like the team thing for sure yeah we're a team yep 100 and it like it's impossible without that team to function oh god i would be so lost oh yeah i'd be fucked i'd miss everything all the time oh yeah oh just i wouldn't know where to go and people say like oh yes you know people will look at our household and be like oh so you you make all the money so you

[00:48:41] know that's just a piece of it oh my god yeah that's like 30 percent of it yeah like that's just one piece of what it takes to run a home oh my god it's so like yes you need money yes it's important but like holy fuck you need a million other things yeah to make that function so everyone's happy well here's big kudos to our wives yeah yeah we can have show your wife this part that's right yeah exactly cheers cheers buddy let's take a little break run some ads and then we'll come back sounds good

[00:51:24] that's a big jump yeah so you dove in your wife was on board yep that experience was she was just like yep go for it i'm i'm behind you 100 and that's one of the reasons she's like just amazing because she she didn't even question it when i had the idea and i told her i think i think this is the answer right now okay like it wasn't even like oh okay so she has a lot of faith in you which you like

[00:51:52] obviously earned over time yeah you know and and like sometimes i'm surprised too that she does i'm shocked at my wife's ability to tolerate me and support me constantly there's been like so many things that we've done outside of the career change like we've done a lot of shit like when i first met my wife one of the first things we did like we were a couple i met her online like we met really we

[00:52:17] met on plenty of fish no shit oh shit yeah pof baby this show is not sponsored by plenty of fish but if you guys want to sponsor us you're more than welcome i have no idea but she yeah we got matched up and we young people in your internet dating right how old are you just i i am 36 okay yeah i met my wife the traditional way drunk at a friend's house there you go nice and like and that's that's uh

[00:52:43] yeah so we met online and like it just sort of clicked we went it was funny okay funny story our first date oh god this is actually a really fun i love this yeah this is great yeah this is so we met on plenty of fish so obviously we're chatting texting back and forth and we had a date set up for saturday and my buddy was coming to town and we had plans to go to speed world race go-karts oh nice yeah right he used to work there yeah oh did you nice maybe you were there this day it's possible

[00:53:12] 2014 so um no we we went to speed world and anyone who's never been to like a go-kart track you you buy races right yeah we are my buddy and i we are ultra competitive like insanity so putting us at a go-kart track on a saturday with nowhere else to be is dangerous wait did you push your wife into the barrier she was not there okay she was not there so it was just me and my buddy and like

[00:53:38] we had paid for i can't remember it was like a dozen races or something yeah and you know we had like five or six left and i was supposed to pick claire up at six o'clock and it's like 3 30 and this bus shows up and all these kids come off this bus and fucking hated those days oh man they kept getting put on the track before us so we're on standby we can't race and we had paid for all these races some texting i'm like hey i might be a little bit late we're kind of stuck here at speed world

[00:54:06] and whatever i'm racing cars yeah as i tell this story i i am aware of how ridiculous it sounds you know how that's the optics of that right it's so bad so the fact that you guys are still married that's amazing yeah she's a winner just wait this we haven't even got to the part of the story that's crazy and stupid yet so so fast for longer story somewhat shorter uh we didn't finish at speed world

[00:54:34] until like 6 30 i was supposed to pick up at six okay and then like if you've ever been to speed world you'll know you leave there you smell like a gas tank oh 100 percent yeah yeah yeah so i was well especially after so many races yeah we've been there all day so i told her i said i'm a little bit late but i'm just gonna go home shower change i'll come pick you up she's like okay yeah no worries i'm just at home so i go shower and change and like my buddy was with me and he was like so where are you guys going i'm like i think we're just gonna go for dinner like olive garden or

[00:55:01] something whatever and uh did he tag along oh yeah so okay so you gotta remember that's a great friend you gotta remember this is pof this lady might be psycho i don't know so i was like he's like because he said where are you guys going i said olive garden he's like i love olive garden i'm like do you want to like come oh this is amazing his girlfriend was was there too like she had

[00:55:29] gone shopping while we were at speed world and he was like well i don't know she would have to come too and i'm like i mean yeah double date it was fine yeah i'll say she's cool with it it's pretty relaxed yeah at least he wasn't a third wheel or anything so i thought it was just him for a minute no no no that's fucking weird just sitting at the next table so i text him like hey my buddy's you know hungry and whatever like and i thought like you guys can tell me if this chick's crazy

[00:55:56] and uh thankfully she wasn't and uh that's amazing she was awesome and she was like yeah sure love meeting new people like bring them along so you know we went i've never met her so there's a reason for that yeah it's just it's not the right time three years later this is the year yeah all right

[00:56:19] so so we go we have our date or whatever and we had this server and she comes up to the table and we said okay one couple has been together for three years one couple is on the first date which one's which oh and she picked us as the couple that had been together for three years she says you guys i could just tell you guys are long term you've been together so your buddy's not with that girl anymore no she's not that didn't work out oh that's funny yeah they got a big fight on the

[00:56:48] way home i don't know what happened just kidding but no yeah no they're not together anymore but uh after that we were just like that was it like that was that was it like it was just fireworks from the first night and it was amazing it was great and yeah inseparable ever since so now you guys have two kids beautiful kids and uh how old are your kids now so my son nicholas is uh seven turning eight this year and my daughter caitlin is five okay so busy yeah busy busy but you know

[00:57:13] what i as as somebody that i like my kids are uh almost 11 and 16 almost okay and um that age like the the five to ten it's so good because like first of all they believe everything you tell them yeah blindly yeah i'm faith and they look up to you like you're somebody like like a god you know like exactly like like daddy's here to take care of us and fun and all you know like yeah it's an

[00:57:42] amazing amazing uh um stage and then even whatever comes after it's all every every stage i think has its beauty like yeah i actually loved having babies like like that was great like my wife hated the baby stage and like i napped all the time with my kids like both of them like just like frozen cons for sure having naps oh yeah like but it was it was so good because like they would sleep with me for two

[00:58:07] two and a half hours my wife 45 minutes that's it yeah oh absolutely her was that's why i was a great husband yeah right you killed it we went camping everyone's going hiking oh no kid needs to nap okay no problem at one point it would be oh they came back i'm still asleep the kids like playing around but like but you know like i i enjoyed like fatherhood so much in different stages every every

[00:58:33] every stage brings a different thing so enjoy what you have right now because it's yeah you know so went into that uh so you made that career change in 2020 yes um and sorry i think you did say earlier just remind me what your kids or you had only had one my daughter just born okay yeah she was born in september of 2019 so okay so you're taking a dive like you're taking a huge not a dive but you're

[00:58:58] taking a huge risk oh yeah like first at the beginning of also having taken a huge risk by having a child yeah second kid like and your wife's behind you she's in she's like yep do it before you like uh we go forward i just and you don't have to go into details but like uh because i'm kind of in uh in between right now like where i'm trying to make that that leap of faith you know uh but my wife like she's very conservative like she's like okay well i like the stability the step steady income

[00:59:26] right and like how was your income at that time and what was how big was the risk of you going and like was there going to be a big jump because like i know my wife that's what she's worried about the most well the planning and yeah yeah it's the security yeah things women worry about so so for me like i had a great salary you know um almost six figures every year like consistent like consistent every two weeks yeah we we were okay you know um we weren't living the lifestyle of the rich and

[00:59:55] famous because she went on mat leave after our son was born in 2017 so before that we were great and did she have her business already or no okay she was she was in the education uh industry and then when our son was born she went on mat leave my wife's a teacher yeah so yeah i was uh um an ea yeah so she yeah went on mat leave and then uh so she had been off so

[01:00:20] before my son was born financially things were great and then down to one income so still okay but one kid no problem yeah second kid comes along so when i made the jump it was like oh i mean so for and this is people think about this with real estate all the time is that oh yeah you make so much money and in reality the average realtor in winnipeg probably sells 10 to 12 houses a year maybe one a month if you're lucky like that's you're an okay agent the average commission

[01:00:48] is like maybe seven grand yeah so you take seven times ten for easy math yeah and then your broker takes 20 of that yep and then you pay taxes that's the game to be well exactly yeah yeah yeah get your own brokerage yeah have a bunch of agents selling houses for you paying you 20 20 20 all day long you know their insurance costs are pretty high but every broker is different by the way anyone there's no it's not a guarantee protecting himself right now just for the record yeah

[01:01:17] no but um but that's the idea like yeah everyone's thinking oh well you you're getting so many percentage but yeah you don't sell one house a week no you sell one house a month if you're lucky if you're lucky and then especially when you get going nobody knows you know you have no track record you're starting a business from nothing yeah and it's like with a lot of competition tons of competition with people who have been doing it longer and can prove that they can do it better than

[01:01:41] you so you know the pandemic was crazy because real estate went nuts and everyone's like oh well you must love this and it's like well as a real estate agent but you buyers don't pay to work with a realtor it's free right yeah so picking up buyers is easier than getting listings that's right um but the problem with the pandemic was is you would pick up buyers and you'd have to go show 500 houses right on 20 of them and lose every time yeah you're gas driving around you're you know you need the

[01:02:11] internet you need to look good you need to it costs your time your time right and you're not bringing anything in well it's an investment yep but that's why they say you gotta have that six to eight months of money set aside to pay your bills because there isn't even if you sold your house on day one possession isn't yeah three months you don't get money for four months yeah so it it took a bit of time so the risk there when i jumped into it was big it was like okay shit if this doesn't work

[01:02:38] we're fucked yeah but at the same time i got laid off we were fucked anyway yeah so yeah exactly yeah and that's why i say the pandemic was kind of like could it be worse i mean like don't have a job anyway a bit of a gift in that sense where it's like well well yeah you're got nothing else and like yeah you know like now's the time government was you know here's some money and like it helped a little bit like you said the training is not not that it's not hard but paying for it now i have a buddy

[01:03:05] who worked uh where i work and uh he got his license done during his breaks like he did his studying you know like during breaks and then yeah i went to get the test and he got his license while he was at work yeah like and now you have to be active a certain amount to retain it 100 yeah this is too much detail but no it's true every year there's like continuing education you have to do keep your license and all that stuff and like and the other thing too is like it cost me off top of my head

[01:03:34] about 400 bucks a month just to be a realtor yeah yeah like you have to pay monthly dues you have to pay administration fees like even if you don't sell anything so every month you have a good day to keep your license yeah yeah so you know there's agents that sell three houses a year because their spouse is is the breadwinner yeah and you know they just keep their license they just do it and pay the things yeah yeah so so sorry what do you like what do you like about it what do you not like about it

[01:04:04] what's good for your uh maybe i'll ask those two questions and then we'll get to the other two but like what's good for your family about it what's not good for your family about it like what are your takeaways from your current career and what are the challenges yes and you can take them in whatever order you want yeah i know so the things that i i would say that i like about it is that it's my own business it's my own brand i can choose the direction i want to take it i can work as hard as i

[01:04:28] want to work or as little as i want to work and there's been months where i've chosen it's mostly yeah so i mean i like the fact that i have that a bit of control of freedom autonomy and freedom is everything like yep i do what i do for freedom even though i have the least amount of freedom i've ever

[01:04:55] had in my entire life but like i have this guise of freedom that's an umbrella of freedom where i'm like yeah i get to choose what i want yeah i guess right now i'm choosing to work 16 hours a day as much as that's kind of what i chose as much as that's kind of a funny joke but it's it's also a lot of truth to it yeah because i i i and i genuinely love my job yeah like i really know you do i know that's the key and i rip on you tons for it but i know you love it i could take it because i

[01:05:22] love my job that's right you say the joke and i turn on i know you do love it and i know you're also an exception to some of the rules yeah in that sense try to be and not always yeah it's i'm not here to rip on you i'm here to have you on my show so um i will leave no but you know we're also here to rip on him yeah well i am so um like there's freedom to it and it's also that freedom alone is

[01:05:49] very constricting sometimes yeah i mean i guess that's also kind of the thing that i don't like about it too is that it's not a structured lifestyle yeah in any way whatsoever you everybody has to be flexible yeah and when you take on a client you you work when they're not yeah so it's evenings gone it's weekends gone like i always tell people like they'll say oh could you show this house on saturday sure like well i don't want to bother you i'm like well saturday is my money well that's my fucking job yeah like that's what i'm here to do that and my family knew that like they

[01:06:19] knew that we were signing up for right so they know dad's gone on saturdays but it it just means like when the saturday comes where i don't have showings yeah we take advantage yeah yeah we're going out of something yeah we're there's a lot of like i won't go you know sit play guitar by myself in my office or i won't you know have like alone time on those days like especially weekends right when the kids aren't at school yeah i'll save like that for a tuesday afternoon when it's like oh i got some

[01:06:45] time i got a few hours and that's why golf was is so huge for me like we talked about the top of the show but like for me our golf is a massive part of like my mental stability dude that's a huge me too like me you and john that's the same thing for all of us and doing it in the morning like let's be honest no clients is going to call you at eight eight in the morning they'll call you around 10 11 noon or so right i'm back at my desk by 10 30 most mornings so i've given up an hour and a

[01:07:13] half of business time yeah we're on our phones anyways the half of time i've got tons of work done from the golf course i've sold houses while we're golfing yeah so it's not about but like no you're right i agree with you that like the time we spend golfing together in summer is like unbelievably valuable to me oh like it me it matters so much to my life and my mental health

[01:07:38] and my mental stability like that is a huge thing for me yeah so it's tough to like cancel like on those days where you can't make it when i can't make it oh it's so hard and i know i can't and like sometimes things just get in the way and that's okay and like if something's got to give golf's gonna give yeah but like man i hate not doing it yeah so uh just wanted to ask so you kind of said like okay yeah you've accepted the fact that like you have to work evenings and weekends right uh because you

[01:08:07] i assume you had a nine-to-five job monday to friday before right so is that how did you like were you ready for it like yeah i'm doing it or was there like a challenge where like at our time period where you were struggling with it it's like holy shit like i really i really need to figure this shit out because yeah you your kids and wife is home and like you're leaving them now it's a big family shift yeah and like and i was and the thing too is like habits right i was i had developed a

[01:08:36] habit of working from nine to five monday to friday here's the weekend right yeah the weekend's here and when i got my license it was like and again i'll thank the pandemic not that i'm trying to thank it all you want if somebody won that's great yeah yeah exactly a lot of us lost we couldn't do anything that we had normally done anyway yeah everything was up in the air it all changed yeah so for me like friday blurred into sunday blurred into wednesday i didn't fucking know what day it was i got up every day and when you don't have clients you're just you reach out to people you

[01:09:06] know like hey man how's it going you thinking about whatever the annoying realtor crap you got to do but there was definitely for me like it was like this selfish thing where i was like i don't want to give up my time like that's my time my evenings and my weekends meeting my my time yeah yeah i don't want to give that up maybe i could be that realtor that like never works on the weekend i'll just like yeah i'll just be like no i'm a monday to friday kind of guy and if you can't buy during the day and i think like you could you could do that yeah but you got to earn it which means you

[01:09:36] got to go through like if you want to start setting the terms a you better be fucking good and be like you're gonna it's gonna take time to train your customer base which changes constantly so like every other business has repeat customers yeah like regular repeat customers and like yours doesn't no you have a funnel of a giant amount of people that's also changing constantly i have a listing right now for 1.8 million dollars and i have a listing coming up for

[01:10:05] 250 000 yeah and both are super important 100 they'll get the same attention they'll get the same commitment and the same energy and it's just you're just and like that's one thing i do love about the job is that you i've met people from every walk of life every planet not every planet fuck well i don't know no like every place on the planet dude's an alien 100 but every part of the planet like we've

[01:10:31] i've helped people move from overseas in the country like it's just it's it's it's been a really cool way to meet people and kind of learn a lot i've learned tons about the way people live in other parts of the world well that's your network too and like so you're you're building that network so like if this person had a good experience with me they'll tell five people and they'll tell five people and like i get this opportunity and like you're constantly in my mind your job is actually not selling houses it's

[01:11:01] like building a network it is like that so that when people decide to do make the big biggest decision they make in their life financially yeah which usually house owner home ownership is that yep like and people don't make it every year they make it every 10 years or every 50 years yeah you want to be the phone call they make and that that's it and that's and that's the thing you got to wrap

[01:11:24] your head around is there a is there a moral uh an emotional reward to any of the things you do or is it just work no no and i think like if it's just work to you you're not going to last yeah fair yeah you you have to be invested into it like when my clients are buying a house like it's like you're buying it with them yeah yeah just as excited as they are and if you can't attach yourself to it you're just like a robot at that point right yeah you can't give the service you can't give the right

[01:11:52] service to me that's a good salesman like in anything really like like if you're genuinely happy for me buying this item or house or whatever like you know cars too like like like when we're buying a big item like a house or a car like this is something it's not just a an ipad or a tv it's a serious purchase yeah it is because we're going to be using it every day and and you know people go see houses imagine you know young couples like oh yeah this like at least for us it was like yeah our kids could

[01:12:22] be running around here like no you know and like now you're a family guy so yeah you can relate to that shit but like sometimes you know it might be an older couple but like if he can't relate to it and that that will help you sell everything too yeah and it makes makes your day better oh and it's it doesn't feel like a struggle on yeah it's when you come home at the end of the day and you're just like exhausted and like spring is like realtor olympics so like april to june is just like you

[01:12:50] train all year for this yeah you know and it's it's crazy you're you're doing 12 20 showings a day and it's like you come home and you're just like exhausted but then you know it's like but you know what bob and sally they're gonna get that house on tuesday right so so pumped that and then i'm gonna get his garage so how do you balance that with your family and being a dad and being a husband how do you how have you how is your family because you've had some years doing it now so like you've had some

[01:13:17] time how have you guys figured that out i and my wife will attest to this i'm somebody who is very good at removing the emotion out of things yeah i can i can look at things very black and white so you're a psychopath okay yeah yeah it's kind of a prerequisite for the job all right fuck thanks for tuning in guys yeah it was a great show uh we're gonna make a phone call um no so i can i i've just

[01:13:44] become very good at detaching myself because at the beginning i wasn't able to do that of course so mentally invested yeah someone it was i think i saw it on facebook i'm part of a bunch of real estate groups from all over the country and world and someone had put like could you imagine if a surgeon was emotionally invested with every patient they did oh yeah right like oh my god they died on the operating table like you would go home and just like how could you sleep at night destroy you right

[01:14:10] yeah so they it's just a job like there's a there's an element of the part where you have to kind of say like this is my job yeah right and and i'm i am emotionally invested in helping these people i'm excited when they're excited i'm sad when they're excited but when i like i get home at the end of the day and it's like you have to learn to check that at the door yeah so that you can be there for your kids and your wife did you go through a period where you like you you said you kind of went through a period learning that yeah and i would assume you only learned that through experience i was exhausted

[01:14:38] that your broker is not going to tell you that like yeah and like our broker does give great training but this is one thing i don't think any training can really prepare you for yeah is like the mental workload that comes with this job is immense it's massive like you i would come home and i was just i was so drained i couldn't even be present and it's not because i was staring at my phone it's just like i'm on the couch but i'm just like batteries are empty yeah done and it was just like it starts

[01:15:05] to affect the relationship like my kid was two three years old at this point my daughter was a newborn so she's just a ball of mush i get just hold her yeah kind of look at her yeah she's good but you know my son i noticed that i wasn't like engaging the same way that i that i felt like i wanted to you know i wanted to be better i wanted to be like why am i not like let's go throw a ball or you know right i was too tired it was like too exhausted to do those things and it was like i felt like shit because i

[01:15:32] was like this is not the dad that i wanted to be but like i'm only tired because i'm out here doing all this shit so i can provide like the dad that i want to be yeah no i know exactly the feeling yeah and that's that was the struggle and that was like a year and a half the first year and a half was was bad like that yeah and then the second like i told you the first winter was awful the second winter was a little bit better and we decided hey you know what the year was good financially business wise things

[01:16:00] were great so we decided let's let's do a little work in the house we did a small reno changed our main floor a little bit and like i'm pretty handy good with tools so did it myself and with my wife and that's another thing that we did when we first got together is we got it and flipped a house together you want to test the relationship cool i thought putting ikea furniture together oh no we ripped a house down to the studs oh my god really nice oh yeah you guys are

[01:16:26] you guys are unstoppable absolutely yeah that's true i agree because i we did a fucking hero i've never met her but she's a fucking hero we we did it put up with me through that absolutely we did tons of renos at our old house and here too and yeah i was it's it's it's fun it's a lot of fun and that doesn't sound you know like i know i know i know my nightmare i know couples were like the wife's like i want this but i'm not doing anything yeah whereas like my you

[01:16:52] know we were renovating this basement like this was not a room this oh yeah yeah and then this was an open area but like my wife came down like okay uh what can i paint and my dad's like old school like yeah campaign she's like fuck you i can't yeah and she she did a great job with my dad's like after like he didn't admit it in front of me told me no you would of course now you can't she did a good job yeah no that's good and like so

[01:17:16] we did that that one the second winter we we did that reno and it was like a great reset and because it took my mind off working every day all because until then it would have been every day work work work work work work work work we can't fail we can't fail you know not enough paychecks is enough paychecks yeah it's like sell another house well that's yeah like it's so the way to that leads to everything today versus then yeah like you've had some years you've built a bit of a

[01:17:41] market you're actually doing from my understanding fairly well yeah like you've been successful yep um how's what's that uh what are the overall feelings around that journey and like as far as how has that rebalanced your time with your kids how has that rebalanced your time with your wife your relationship and all those things and before you answer that like 40 questions

[01:18:05] don't forget that yeah don't forget that also ask you yeah but just like for letting me do the interview do you so like you own your own business but i know like so there's realtor companies like do you work for a certain company or you'd strictly have your own realtor company yeah i know so i'm brokerage under royal lepage prime okay so okay you need to be attached to a brokerage okay you can't be a

[01:18:30] broker until you've been a realtor for at least two years that's right okay so you guys said cute rules yeah i'll do this whole book of them yeah so yeah just i was just curious like what are you good question yeah so i don't and then that's the beauty too is if you get with a good brokerage they can help with a lot of these challenges yeah my brokerage is one of the best we're the biggest brokerage in the province and for good reason there's probably no field my buddies yeah it's

[01:18:55] massive i know like three people who sell under your yeah same here 230 agents or something like that and i know at least three and if i looked at the whole thing it probably probably no more like yeah and like and they provide a lot of help so like when i do a deal just submit all my paperwork and like they deal with yeah well you pay for it well yeah you pay for it it saves you time though right like and all the paperwork that you really don't want to do absolutely absolutely so it's

[01:19:21] yeah the brokerage is great um to answer your questions this year like and last year are a lot different because there's there's some confidence in the process now yeah it's been five five years yeah five years now and it's it's like okay it's greased i know what happens now there was so much like uncertainty like plus you put the pandemic on top of it and then interest rates went from like one percent to like six percent and it was like oh shit yeah i know i have to renegotiate this year

[01:19:49] and i'm super bummed about it i got a guy but uh we did it when it was nice and low yeah yeah i didn't get that so yeah you had all that and it was like the first few years it was just so much uncertainty and it's like oh man what if no one ever calls me ever again and i just never sell another house but so did your family did you express like did you and claire have that those conversations all the time and we still do okay yeah that's good well that's a good thing and at the end of the day like it doesn't

[01:20:18] matter how i think it's how good you are but it could happen that nobody will ever call 100 the phone could stop ringing tomorrow yeah people can hear this show and be like this guy's an idiot well and some of it's not even in your control they'll be like this guy is awesome i want to book with him i might need to hire somebody because but it could be like it could be either and so there's things out of your control that can have a massive effect on your 100 your career and your

[01:20:44] ability to provide for your family yep like covet yep covet was a benefit yep for me there was a lot of agents that that bailed and left the industry because they just couldn't handle showing the 500 houses to sell one yeah because it went from you used to have to show 10 houses and sell one yeah and then it was like it was insane well and also everybody wanted to leave their fucking house so like any reason to leave my fucking house i'm in yeah it is totally true and then but then in order

[01:21:14] to leave real estate was weird because real estate was the only thing you could do which involved strangers going into other people's houses which we won't get into the logic of how all that happened because i don't want to be canceled on this podcast but fair enough but yeah it just changed what it did it it changed everything yeah sure did and so like you're in a landscape that can change fairly quickly yep um you've you've built yourself a comfortable i wouldn't i don't know if it's ever

[01:21:42] comfortable i don't think it ever should be actually never really i don't think comfortable is a good thing when it comes to business you should never feel comfortable nope you've built yourself of a good business yeah it's a functioning business that's yeah somewhat predictable yeah yeah you can plan you can budget you can to an extent yep that's never secure you know nothing's guaranteed yeah but you know if you know if i do x y and z a b and c should happen yeah and you hope that happens as much as

[01:22:09] possible and you also hope you replace the people who fall off with people new people and you can maintain or grow grow probably is the is the goal but yeah so okay so the one thing we haven't talked about is like you being a realtor your career choice yep up against your family life and so like

[01:22:34] you have young kids yeah they're involved in activities they're involved in i'm assuming your son probably plays hockey you play hockey yep or he's going to he is going to your daughter probably has some extracurricular activities yep and like all those things happen when everybody wants you working yeah how do you manage that to still be a part of it and i get maybe you're not there all the time but like how do you be a part of those are you actively a part of those their lives yeah while

[01:23:02] still doing a good job let me answer that claire but i want to hear about like what your experience with that is yeah it's it's there's a whole bunch of different levels to it it's it's we've always been very open my wife and i about like priorities with the kids and those things and it's always a very high priority but we know that those activities don't

[01:23:28] happen unless we can have a functioning household that can try to pay for those activities yeah and that sort of thing so we know that like my work comes first in front of a lot of things yeah not to the point where like i'm never going to my son's soccer game yeah right and i've and like there's some strategy behind it too like i was very intentional about the kind of houses i wanted to sell when you start you take whatever you can get my first listing was a vacant piece of land in

[01:23:57] st francis you just say yeah yeah i could sell that but then like you kind of slowly carve yourself into a niche and for me there's agents that will sell 40 houses a year and i'll sell 20 and we'll make the same amount of money yeah right so for me i i'm predominantly a listing agent i do help people buy but my business is almost 70 30 listings oh interesting okay yeah so yeah by doing that's not

[01:24:23] by accident it's marketing is my background television production broadcasting you do a lot of unique things with your yeah that others hire or don't do yep i'm a bit of a swiss army knife that was like designed for real estate and i didn't realize that's great that's an unbelievable way to put it i think yeah okay it's sort of just worked out that way but because i'm able to do that i can provide for the family and when you have listings versus buyers buyers are the ones that drag you all over the

[01:24:51] place looking at houses till 9 p.m now i'm one of those there you go yeah i'll give you an example after yeah so so for me when i'm the listing agent you know a lot of my work is done nine to five we shoot the videos we take the photos we put the marketing up and a lot of it a lot of my evenings are at home so you built you've you've done that on purpose yeah by and by design because i knew i had two little kids and a wife and i like being at home i'm a big hockey fan and the games are all on at six

[01:25:17] o'clock your wife sounds like a nice lady and your kids sound great yeah i want to be around yeah no it's i'm not trying to escape anything so it's it's it's done by design now there are weeks and they know this too that dad's job's kind of crazy and like i'll show you to have conversations with my son my daughter's old enough now she's starting to get them too where it's like dad has a crazy job yeah like dad's job like see that big house right there like i have to make sure someone else wants it yeah and wants to take all their shit pack it up and put it in there and then stay there

[01:25:46] like logical yeah way to frame it yeah yeah so we can't sing wheels on the bus right now because i gotta go yeah exactly and like there's been mornings where it's you know i drop the kids off and i'm in like a backwards hat and a hoodie and like just dirty jeans and then there's other days it's a three-piece suit my hair is slicked back and it's like okay dad's going to work today or work yeah and that's just the way that it is and like i think because they were so like right from young young young it's just

[01:26:13] the way that it is they don't know what i used to be like they don't know it any different yeah yeah that's true they don't know that i'm a five dad where he was always around on the weekends and now he's gone yeah you know like this is just our life well you've created your own life and your own pattern and like yeah claire's on board and the kids are on board because they that's all they know and it works yeah it's and it's been great for you guys because there's been like and i'm sure it takes maintenance and i'm sure it takes like constant check-in and conversation and and we we do that too like

[01:26:41] it's great because i got a pd day like we'll sit in the hot tub on a you know friday morning because the kids are home from yeah my daughter's off today tomorrow and monday what yeah that's insane private school okay it's different they get it's so funny you pay all this money and they get more days off yeah and they don't go they get way more days off and i'm just like whoa fuck you like don't that's not how this works paying for her to be there at least on the days off let me send her there

[01:27:09] i don't care what she does but let me send her there yeah it should come with like daycare i'm paying for it doesn't work that way they get more time off and it costs more money that's crazy yeah but no i claire and i we have we do check in like i will literally say like kids go to bed we're on the couch 10 o'clock at night and you know it's like hey like how's things going you know like yeah we we have an intentional conversation good on a regular basis man that's important holy

[01:27:35] shit is that important without it i don't know like like because like you i'm naturally introverted i'm i'm not an extroverted person i'm weird that way i'm a bit of a chameleon yeah yeah see i don't like for me i'm not like get off work and friday like where are we going what are we doing like i'm just like i don't want to leave my house well you never see me outside of golf yeah it's fair i just don't so winter is your favorite and golf is a pretty introverted it is sport we don't have to

[01:28:04] talk that much i could just hit my ball to the left and i never have to see well like you can control that or you think you can control it or you can talk on maybe yeah you there's no way or you can talk about golf and that's about it right yeah yeah but it's also smaller uh it's a smaller group it's yeah it's different which is funny because your whole and it's probably what makes you great at what

[01:28:27] you do is your whole thing is like limiting the amount of interaction and also like keeping them close and personal yeah yeah so your clients like you don't want to even think in your head you have a hundred clients you want to think you have two yeah yeah and like i'm going to focus on these two and then maybe it's a different two this afternoon but like i gotta do this it's it's so funny very bang on yeah you have to be able to in my opinion like for me to have the success i've had

[01:28:56] to be great yeah you have to be able to isolate that stuff and keep it compartmentalized because if you can't it's yeah it's just going to be overwhelming yeah because if i open like i use a program with all that stuff in it and the list is long i'm like and like typically it's like a monday morning activity i'll go through that list and kind of pick out whatever like holy crap i haven't talked to that person that person oh shit you know and all of a sudden it's like overwhelming yeah overwhelming so it's it's you got to be able to set aside those things and put them in their own

[01:29:24] little buckets yeah but uh but yeah i winter i hibernate man like yeah i i think we're meant to to be honest yeah i'm like a bear yeah yeah well i think we're meant to by nature i think we're meant to you think so yeah why don't we take another little break i want to talk about his hibernation from their humble roots in kitchens and music venues all over winnipeg the creators of intergalactic sauces have turned their passion project into a line of must-have condiments for

[01:29:52] flavor and heat lovers everywhere getting their start selling tacos to hungry concert goers at local underground music festivals the intergalactic crew has stayed true to its diy rock and roll aesthetic every delicious bottle is a carefully designed collaboration with indie designers printers and a bit of inspiration from the cosmos whether it's a limited run or one of intergalactic's core flavors whether you want to add a bit of zip to a meal or blow your head off with heat

[01:30:17] there's a sauce for everyone go to intergalactic sauces.com and get your sauce today so you talked about that there is ups and downs of the the industry right yeah so when when you're not selling houses yeah when the market's down what do you do to keep your mental stability up like yeah like not worry about finances but like stay motivated yeah spend money oh nice yeah

[01:30:46] he loves to do that that's true no it's so like right now like like we just became instant friends yeah yeah you both love spending money so much in common um you want to do karate in the garage yep did we just become best friends yep uh so no but like i'll take on a project in the winter time typically so like we talked about that first reno i did like right now yeah this year it's just and it's been busy this year but we're finishing our basement finally which has been partially finished

[01:31:14] forever but i find it's good for my mental to have something not attached to real estate to do um so i do that i play hockey a lot in the winter time like hockey is my winter golf yeah yeah without it absolutely yeah and it's not negotiable he's tall and thin you couldn't have been surprised by that i'm tall and wow finish tallish finish no not finish if you're finish you'd be better at hockey

[01:31:43] but yeah so it's important for me to always have sort of something to do and if it's not like a hands-on construction project it's it's some other kind of project like we were just talking off air about cooking yeah like that's something that i have taken up in the last three years as sort of my winter thing i don't really cook in the summer yeah like i'll barbecue and grill a little bit in the summertime but like not spending time in the kitchen yeah it's sort of like we're busy busy busy we're camping we're

[01:32:10] golfing we're out but in the winter time like that's when i decided like this year soups and stews were my thing that i was gonna master those are great that's awesome i want to learn how to make soup from scratch and stews from scratch and um for me it gives me something to look forward to on the days where like there's a funny saying like uh some days in real estate you sell three houses and some days you wash your car like and it's so true like yeah some days you wake up and they're just like

[01:32:34] ah just crickets i got nothing yeah so you know you throw a post on facebook and you put your feet up and watch some tv or whatever how much can you do like you can i guess you can hustle you could phone a bunch of people but like at a certain point there's always something you can do yeah and i believe that there's all there's also like always something else you can do 100 and if you don't need to do that thing it doesn't mean you're not motivated it just means i need i need time for

[01:33:02] something else as well yeah and that's where the old school and the new school kind of separates yeah old school agents are like yeah they're at their desk with their white shirt and their black tie on calling like heard you want to sell your house it's been four years would you like a market evaluation yeah old school hustling yeah yeah which there's value to 100 not knocking at all calling there's value to cold calling yeah for me like i'm more take advantage of social media ai that sort of thing we're smarter not harder it's different path yeah well and that's kind of the

[01:33:30] future right so 100 so you you know i take advantage of those things which allows i you know i do some creative social media posts we have those things out there and then i let them run for a couple days while i you know i'm gonna figure out how to make a stew today yeah and it sounds ridiculous but it's not it's it's a mental break and the thing is too is your phone is always there my kids are at school it's lunchtime if something pops up well the stew can wait yeah back to it well it's a stew

[01:33:57] it's the best it can wait forever like it doesn't even matter actually it's better if you're busy in the middle of it you know that's great and like i think it's i think it's important that like we can listen we could all work 24 hours a day every day yeah and would we produce more income yes probably but but you also lose something yeah and like you talked about earlier like at what cost like

[01:34:23] at the cost of my relationship with my wife my relationship with my kids 100 my friendships like yeah you can work your fucking life away you can and i could do it i in fact i'm i've talked about that on the show before like i'm pretty bad at balancing that yeah i'm actually that's a struggle of mine is like i default to work and then everything else in my life yeah and there's and definitely there's like i'm not trying to sit here like i got it all fucking figured out no no no no

[01:34:50] where i'm the same but i love but i but it that's the beauty of it is like i think we all move in and out of that yeah and like everything's like i talked about right at the beginning of this like there's four categories we all want to be the best at and like we have to balance that and figure out and that changes every day 100 like that's a that's a rolling that's a moving target and we're just trying to move with it as best we can to satisfy all the things this is it and the key is to at least

[01:35:19] in my opinion is that if you learn from the bad then that's okay that something shitty happened because you move on right and you try to do better next time so yeah absolutely so well i'm gonna wrap it up yeah yeah uh please i kept you for way too fucking long that was a blast although you were only planning to be here at this time so like i think we're i'm like we're 40 minutes in yeah this is super fast uh but yeah like in this camera feel free to plug your business uh do you
