Leo breaks down why everyone's BS meter is higher than ever and why generic marketing is dead on arrival — most people literally open their mail over the trash can. He explains why he open sourced all of eXp's forms during one of the most confusing moments in real estate history, the goodwill it generated 12 to 24 months later, and why your best strategy as a business owner is to take your best stuff and give it away with no paywall and no gatekeeping. He gets into why the trust-building cycle starts months or years before someone is ready to buy, the moment people started showing up on his calendar talking like they'd known him for years, and why he used to tell customers they should not buy a house — and how those people became his most rabid advocates.
