  • Good but…

    Good real estate media podcast but they drank the Eli Jones Kool-Aid and went way downhill after constantly bragging him up.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The "Full Plate" Framework: Alex Coombs - Northern Spruce Media
Q: What's your best piece of advice for a real estate media company owner?
Find ways to reclaim time for yourself because time is the most valuable asset. If you don't make room for joy and rest, you'll burn out and likely detract from long-term success.
The "Full Plate" Framework: Alex Coombs - Northern Spruce Media
Q: What role does education play in your client relationships and internal processes?
Education is ongoing and multi-channel: AI tools training for agents, newsletters, and social content to explain new capabilities. This reduces friction, sets expectations, and makes clients comfortable with changes, speeds adoption, and increases perceived value.
The "Full Plate" Framework: Alex Coombs - Northern Spruce Media
Q: How did you move from a single focus to a scalable, multi-vertical business?
I built a culture of communication and empowerment, identified core strengths of the team, and then created new verticals only after ensuring the team was on board and capable. This also included hiring people to lead new areas and shifting roles to unlock growth while maintaining quality.
The "Full Plate" Framework: Alex Coombs - Northern Spruce Media
Q: Why did you diversify into verticals beyond core photography/video services?
Diversification came from listening to client needs and recognizing that agents require a mix of services to win listings and maintain marketing momentum. By adding subscriptions, social media management, and content creation, the company can offer holistic solutions and weather market downturns.
The "Full Plate" Framework: Alex Coombs - Northern Spruce Media
Q: What is the Full Plate framework and how does it function in your business?
The Full Plate framework is a routine to ask employees how full their plates are, which helps gauge workload, prevent burnout, and decide when to delegate or hire. It's used to keep teams sustainable and ensure people aren't overwhelmed, enabling growth without sacrificing well-being.
