Happy Father’s Day to all the dads.
Because no matter whether you work in commercial real estate or not.
If you are a dad, that’s the most important job you have!
I helped my client turn a 1-star super complaint into a glowing 5-star reference—all within 24 hours!
Look, negative reviews on your Google Business profile are extremely frustrating, especially in cases where you and your team have done nothing wrong.
But their existence also offers a unique opportunity to turn things around (and to take measures to prevent them from reappearing).
On the podcast, I just shared some key strategies on how to handle negative feedback effectively.
Check out this clip and learn the importance of welcoming client feedback and ensuring everyone feels heard.

As leaders, we often find ourselves juggling numerous responsibilities, trying to do it all.
But sometimes, in our quest for success, we can lose sight of what truly drives us.
Recently, I had a moment of clarity that I wanted to share with you.
At the start of this year, I noticed that I wasn't as excited about creating new podcast episodes as I once was.
So I pulled back from weekly solo episodes, and instead I produced a series of fortnightly client interviews on the show.
This pivot helped me to balance competing demands on my time.
And I loved bringing the stories of my clients’ success to the audience.
But, as I freed up more time elsewhere in my business (my assistant now manages my inbox), I had the space to reflect.
And I remembered that I was talking about the concept of our zone of genius in one of the interviews.
Your zone of genius is where our passions (what you like doing), skills (what you’re good at), and the value we bring to others (what makes us money) intersect.
For me, the podcast is within that zone, but I had lost sight of that.
In my latest episode, I dive into why I'm recommitting to weekly shows.
It’s not just about consistency—it's about reconnecting with what makes the work meaningful and valuable, both for me and the people I serve.
I'm excited to bring more energy back to the podcast, and to share more of me personally on every episode.
With that in mind, let me ask you: is it time for you to also think about your own zone of genius?
DM me ‘187’ and I'll send you the link to the episode that will show you how to spend more time within it.
Imagine that you need to prepare for a meeting with a prospect.
They’ve got a specific problem and a delicate set of circumstances.
And you have absolutely no idea of how to approach it.
In this situation, AI might be your best brainstorming buddy.
Whenever you find yourself staring at the proverbial blank page.
AI can give you a spark of inspiration – or all the answers you need.
This will get you prepared for situations you’ve never even thought of.
I shared one such example when I was interviewed recently by Will Tong.
Here’s a short clip on that topic from episode 185 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership.
To get free access to the full interview, DM me '185' and I'll send it to you.
Tony used to clean offices and factories after school with his dad.
Now he manages, leases and sells the same types of buildings he used to sweep and vacuum.
Tony Aminian is the principal of Simple Industrial Commercial.
And there’s even more to his story – he arrived in Australia from Armenia as a school-aged boy who didn’t speak English.
But that didn't stop him becoming the owner of multiple business by the time he was in his early 30s.
If you’re hesitating to have a go, not ready to back yourself or don’t know where to get started to hit your goals...
Then you will benefit from learning about Tony’s can-do approach.
We unpack it all on episode 184 of Commercial Real Estate Leadership.
DM me '184' and I'll send you a link to the full episode.
