In July, Luke was a keynote speaker at the Eight Percent Nation Conference founded by insurance industry guru Cody Askins. It was an amazing event, but when he reflected on everything it took to achieve his goal of being center stage at a major conference, he realized there were a few lessons he learned along the way: two that pushed him forward . . . and one that held him back. Listen to discover one of the most helpful tactics that will clarify your vision of success and keep you moving toward it, a reason for the reluctance so many of us feel when we need to promote ourselves in the pursuit of what we want, and the roles that opportunity and preparation play in getting you ready to seize what’s within your grasp.

In this week’s interview, Jason Martin, who leads one of the country's top real estate teams per the Wall Street Journal, talks about how video has changed his lead generation strategy and the super unique tactic he uses to attract and retain only the best agents.

His perspective, and how he puts what he believes into practice, has the potential to fix what he feels is wrong in real estate—and probably a lot of other industries as well. Tune in to find out the one factor that distinguishes top performers from all others in every industry, why some of the most successful leaders are able to achieve a delicate balance that most of us are afraid to try for, and the adverse consequences of choosing a road our lives will travel on before we decide upon a destination.
