We’ve all heard the saying that “leaders are readers”. Or is it “readers are leaders?” Either way, successful people read. They read to educate themselves, to broaden their worldview, to learn strategies and techniques, and to figure out how to work smarter, not harder. But busy brokers and real estate professionals don’t always have the time to sit still and dive into a good book. They also may want to access information fast, which can be hard when you’re flipping through an entire book. And this is why podcasts are so popular.
Podcasts allow you to hear many different voices and many different theories on many different topics. You can listen on the go and skip over or review information much easier than reading. And while there is no substitute for enjoying a good book, efficient and productive brokers and agents maximize their time by always having a podcast waiting for them.
