The value of Mentors | Special 200th episode | Know your why #200

This 200th episode is very special to me so I wanted to do something big.

I am very proud that we have reached this milestone and there are so many people I could mention that made it possible.

First of all, the guests make the show. Every one of them has been generous with their time and gracious to share their story with me and the listeners. I wish I could tag all of you but I am pretty sure the platforms have limits. Thank you!

Secondly, the listeners. Somehow, despite my own limiting beliefs about my voice, face and interview style, people listen. Not just my mom! Thank you!

And of course @marc.antoine.picard, who without his guidance and amazing work, there is no podcast. Thank you!

And @mrs.saney, who without her hard work and support there is no Lark. Thank you. My wife, @kc.balara, who manages to keep the kids from interrupting every episode. Even when Ava is yelling “DADDY!” from the back door. Without her and her support there is no me. Thank you sweet chicken!

Which brings me to the concept for this episode: Mentorship!

I have been lucky enough to have SO MANY amazing mentors in my life but this is a real estate centric podcast so I was able to gather my amazing real estate mentors and have a very in depth discussion on the value of mentors.@ellie.perlman, @badashinvestor and @jscottinvestor. Thank you for always encouraging, pushing and leading by example. I truly appreciate it.
