I sat down with Dan McIntyre of Western Massachusetts hardcore band, Revenge and now a striking coach for pro MMA fighters. I learned a lot about Dan's journey from a difficult childhood and horrible trauma to a positive lifestyle and success in many ways. Thanks to Dan for really opening up. I think people who are struggling with similar pasts really need to hear this stuff. If that's you, please realize you can overcome whatever it is you're going through. Its not easy. It takes work. But you can win the fight.

No official (La)Chance Encounters this week. This is the story of my visit to Lithonia, GA to purchase a van from ebay and the first time, as a straight white male that I was every in the minority.

So many people tell me they've tried "everything" and they've done it "a lot" and nothing's working. If that's REALLY true fine, quit! its probably not though. Try and be REALLY honest with your self. As a real estate agent you are your own marketing department. If you worked in marketing you'd work on marketing for 8 hours a day EVERY DAY. Think about that and then ask yourself if you've REALLY done enough to drive a year's salary worth of business to yourself. If you haven't spent 20 hours a week for a year trying to find leads and create business for yourself, you still have no idea if this career will work for you. GET TO WORK.

Christian is an ambitious young man making great strides in media, entrepreneurship and even as a touring performer. I hear a lot of people in my parent's generation saying "the kids don't want to work anymore", but DJ REKLSS is doing everything in his power to buck that notion.
