What would you do if you had the opportunity to interview a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter?

Well, if you're like me, you'd get yourself cozy in your dining room, fire up Zoom, dial up your guest, hit record, and get comfy. And also freak out a little. Because we've never interviewed a guest quite like Bill Dedman!

Bill Dedman was a lead investigator on the Long Island Divided investigation, which uncovered some very disturbing and eye-opening practices that were taking place in the real estate industry in Long Island, NY.

In turn, this investigation, and its findings, have changed the way Realtors® are trained and educated, for the better.

Please sit back, tune in, and take a listen.

Please be sure to register for Bill's upcoming webinar on Long Island Divided, scheduled to take place on April 20th.

To learn even more about the investigation, watch the documentary.

Did you look in your closet this morning and wonder what hat you'd be wearing for the day?

As Realtors®, agents, and affiliates of the business, we all know this life requires many different hats, and sometimes it requires us to wear several hats on the same day!

Well, meet Marshal Granor, attorney, licensed real estate Broker in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, licensed title insurance agent, an instructor at BCREI, President of Community Management Services Group, and the list goes on and on.

Marshal understands the meaning of wearing many different hats, so what a treat it was to talk to him to learn more about why he does what he does on an everyday basis. Grab your favorite hat, along with a glass of Karl Erbes Riesling (or a cup of Adagio coconut tea ) and tune in.

There's a lot to learn from this man of many hats!

Please check out Marshal's favorite nonprofit, the Hebrew Free Loan Society.

Are you ready for artificial intelligence to take over the world?!? Yeah, me neither.

Okay, maybe AI isn't going to take over the world just yet, but sometimes it feels like we're edging that way a bit more every day, especially with the creation of tools like ChatGPT.

While some people love the idea, I'm a bit more unsure about it. So, what's a podcast host to do, other than try to learn about the scary thing in hopes that it becomes less scary?

Thankfully, our guest on this episode, Alex Shnayder, not only educated me on ChatGPT, he also helped allay some of my fears.

If you're interested in learning more about ChatGPT, sign up for Alex's upcoming webinar on March 22.

Oh, and if you're wondering, ChatGPT will take a margarita, thank you very much.

As always, thanks for tuning in!
