It's Not That Deep Podcast

This week, I chat with my friend Chris LaCharity, Ottawa's #1 Luxury Real Estate agent. Chris has built an extremely successful career through his ability to develop strong relationships, provide exceptional client service, and also close multimillion dollar deals.Don't believe me? Check out his website www.ChrisLaCharity.com to see the 7 figure listings he's got. That being said, this episode isn't actually about badass real estate. Although Chris lives a lifestyle of work hard-play hard, by the end of this podcast you'll get to know that Chris is honestly a super humble guy who prioritizes his health, relationships, well-being as well as mindfulness. These are all topics he outlines in his book 7 Figures To Success.In this episode we dive in on how he got to where he is today and some of the challenges he's faced along the way. We chat about his career in sales and his love for cars, but then we get into deeper talks about the ego, about what really matters, and the legacy that he'd like to leave behind.Today's episode is sponsored by TG Athletics. A new chapter in celebrity personal trainer Tony Greco's life has led him to start a new high-performance fitness brand for the athlete in all of us.

We get to talking about her journey, the role of identity, as well as her story of pivoting from the dream photography business she built to building yet ANOTHER successful dream business. She broke down the 3 non-negotiable boxes that absolutely had to be checked for this new business which include: It has to be location independent She no longer wanted to miss out on weekends (she did her time) and; It had to include her voice.This manifested in starting her own podcast, developing a killer personal brand, and leaning in on her strengths.

In more eloquent terms, it’s a peer-to-peer rental marketplace where you can put just about anything you have laying around your house up for rent. But what’s really amazing to me is the story about how Steve and his neighbour and fellow titan of business Bruce Linton, came up with the idea for this company.In this podcast, we talk about his journey plus, some of the big challenges he’s faced, whether entrepreneurs are born or made, and the foundational business principles that have helped him get to where he is today.PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES TO LEAVE A RATING AND REVIEW HERE Today’s episode is brought to you by Tony Greco’s new online Health & Fitness Portal, TG FITNESS.

This week, I’m joined on the podcast with 2 business coaches/mentors of mine Ryan & Ben, who are co-owners of The Consulting Guys and Affluent Attraction. They help financial service businesses attract high net worth clients through automated marketing systems & organic marketing.What they’re more well-known for in the twitter world and otherwise is for their business coaching groups, the Church of Clientology and the one I am part of called the Client Acquisition Immersion Program or CAIP.I credit being a part of this program for a lot of mindset shifts that I’ve experienced this past year in regards to starting and growing my own business, my relationship with money, learning about sales, systems & much more.Ryan & Ben are always providing an insane amount of value, even in their free groups - with live zoom calls, course modules, AMA’s with experts, accountability challenges & more. Now, I’m not saying joining groups like this is the only way to start and grow a successful business, far from it actually. But, if you’re looking to build an actual business and not just be a freelancer or have a side hustle, coaching and mentorship are a great route to explore.There’s nothing more motivating than seeing other like-minded entrepreneurs go from struggling to define what their services or target market are to posting screenshots of closing massive 5-6 figure deals through some of the things they’ve learned in the program.In this episode, we talk about their journey, the power of mindset, sales, starting and scaling business and so much more. I encourage you to follow Ryan & Ben on social media, I’ve included the links below in the description.Also, don’t forget to subscribe to the It’s Not That Deep Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen and it would mean a lot to me if you left a rating and review.This podcast is produced by Deep Digital Media.
