Papa Guy Podcast

Testing the Podbean upload process with this short version.  A few updates and stories as I ramble along.

Friday night chat with Doughnut Saturday Celebs Braden Ryder LaGuire and McKenna Mae LaGuire. We're starting the Labor Day Holiday weekend with some fun!

Scott and I expand our conversations outside of Real Estate a bit and share some stories about our experiences growing up, of living here in Hawaii, the contrasts of the Island of Oahu where Scott lives and the Island of Hawaii where I live. Lifestyle is one of the big attractions to be in Hawaii. It's almost always warm, we're surrounded by the Pacific ocean which is a gorgeous blue and the lifestyle is so much about the outside, the beauty and land and people here.

Transitioning to Video so that we can present to you in both Video and Audio. I listen to podcasts as opposed to watching them. However, the recording side is going more and more to video so we are doing the same. Just a little intro as it is from this episode on that you can see video on YouTube and Spotify and still catch Audio on Apple Podcasts and other sites.

Scott Startsman and I continue our conversation about the NAR law suit settlement and how it will affect the workings of the Real Estate Industry. We talk more about representation and the MYTH that this settlement is going to bring housing prices down significantly.
Hope you enjoy

Aloha,
This is an encore presentation of my first podcast. I wanted to publish it again at the first of the year as it is a conversation with Health and Wellness entrepreneur Chris Johnson who created his own company On Target Living. With many of people's New Years Resolutions being about their health and wellness I thought this was appropriate to run again. Since this podcast ran a couple years ago, Chris published the book we talk about in the Podcast Rest Eat Move.
Enjoy if you have not listened or enjoy again. I have added a link in the show notes for the On Target Living website...you've gotta visit it. Great "natural" products to help with your health and nutrition. Here's the Link: https://ontargetliving.com/

PART 1: Scott and I discuss the pending settlement (yet to be approved by a judge) with the NAR (National Association of Realtors) and plaintiffs who sued the organization. The potential impact on the industry for Real Estate Agents, Buyers and Sellers. You can't talk about the settlement without discussing Real Estate, its practices, agents and their workload and what the public knows, or think they know about how the Real Estate business actually works. Including the scope of services and expertise agents can offer to Buyers and Sellers.
Some claim this will "Change Real Estate Forever." "6% commissions are gone," "Buying and Selling Homes will be so much less expensive." We discuss the myths and the likely changes in the industry and those things that may not change. Its a good conversation....join us.

We've all been affected by inflation over the last few years...as all consumers are. Living and working in Hawaii, already expensive to begin with we have to deal with a very high cost of living. This is a little lighter look at it with no economic expertise intended.
