Season 2 Real Estate Entrepreneurship #031 | Jon Salas

Author: Manny Carrera February 7, 2019 Duration: 47:29

Our guest talks all things Real Estate, Social Media, Technology, Entrepreneurship, Branding, Productivity, Mindset, and Business this is he bio in his words. I found my entrepreneurial passion through residential real estate in 2007 and worked as the right hand man to a top producing agent selling over $50 Million a year in homes sales. I led our overall marketing strategy which included networking events, content strategy, social media, paid ads, branding, and team management. In 2012 I bought our first drone to take aerial photography of a luxury ocean front listing, the response we got was overwhelming and before I knew it, realtors in my office were asking me to take the same aerial pictures for them. In an era where visually appealing content is king, the opportunity was clear as day and thus Above Media was born. Today, Above Media has evolved into a end to end media production house that empowers realtors with the tools and knowledge they need to grow their influence, impact, and income with online video. The real estate industry is at a pivotal point in time. Companies like Zillow, Redfin, and many other online platforms are poised to start taking massive market share. I truly believe nothing compares to the relationship built over a handshake, however the internet has fundamentally changed the way buyers and sellers approach their real estate needs. Above Media is on a mission to educate every realtor on how they can compete with Zillow by leveraging social media and online video to grow their business. As Real Estate professionals We need to stay at the forefront of technology, why you ask? Well the co-founder of Expedia...he also happens to also be the co-founder of Zillow. Think about it.


Manny Carrera pours a glass and gets down to business on Whiskey Wednesdays. This isn't your typical dry business lecture; it's a conversation about building a life, not just a portfolio. While real estate provides the foundational framework, the discussions here roam much farther. You'll hear honest reflections on the entrepreneurial journey-the calculated risks, the unexpected setbacks, and the personal discipline required to navigate them. Manny blends practical strategies for asset building with broader themes of motivation and success, all delivered with the straightforward, relatable tone of a seasoned professional sharing insights over a drink. Each episode of this podcast aims to inform and engage, offering listeners a mix of tangible advice and the mindset needed to apply it. Tune in for a weekly dose of infotainment that feels less like a seminar and more like a valuable chat with a knowledgeable friend who's been in the trenches and is willing to talk about what really works.
