Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes it’s the losses that teach us the most. In this ep, we look at how accepting tough moments - and learning from them - can actually strengthen the way brokers show up in their partnerships.
Host Tony MacRae and SFG’s Blake Buchanan strip the conversation back to the real stuff: the early experiences that shaped how they communicate, the importance of reading the room, and why authenticity matters more than ever.
Blake opens up about growing up fast, learning trust the hard way, and discovering that disagreements aren’t the issue... avoiding them is.
They explore the delicate dance between lender, BDM and broker - including the secret to success and how to get back on-track when it hits the fan.
Tune into episode two for real talk, practical tips and a fresh perspective.
