Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From a Mercato Kid to a Next Big Food Entrepreneur
Q: What were the biggest lessons learned from Mercato Academy?
Mercato Academy taught essential operations like proper sanitation, costing, and first-in-first-out inventory; it emphasized resilience, the reality of falling and getting up, and the importance of marketing, packaging, and crowd-appeal at the stall.
From a Mercato Kid to a Next Big Food Entrepreneur
Q: What is Agepan and how did it begin?
Agepan is Japanese cream fried bread made from milk bread, fried and filled with whipped cream and flavors, with the creme brulee as a best-seller; the idea started from trial and error with the founder testing at home and with friends before expanding.
EVERYONE WAS PULLING BACK. THEY DECIDED TO BUILD.
Q: What sparked Havitas Developments' shift from consultancy to development, and how did the pandemic influence that decision?
The founders leveraged opportunities seen during the pandemic, using existing studies and capital saved from prior projects to launch their own development, shifting from advisory work to creating tangible, income-producing assets.
The Real Estate Sales Secrets Nobody Teaches You
Q: What separates top performers from others in real estate sales?
Top performers treat real estate as a business, build a strong personal brand, leverage leads, listings, and systems, and continually learn and train to stay ahead; they focus on relationships and credibility rather than short-term gains.
The Real Estate Sales Secrets Nobody Teaches You
Q: What is the core process a real estate salesperson should follow?
The process starts with ongoing prospecting—creating conversations daily by offering value—then qualifying buyers by listening closely and distinguishing interest from readiness, handling objections through prepared scripts and active listening, and finally closing by helping clients make good decisions based on their objectives, finances, and timelines.
