Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are all enjoying a few days with friends and family, unplugged (except to read this blog, of course), relaxing and reflecting on all there is that you are thankful for. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my company and team. I am grateful for the books I read. I am grateful …
Last week I had the privilege of teaching a business and leadership course with Kristan Cole, VP of KW Mega Agent Expansion. Yes, the class outlined how to take your local real estate business and expand it into another market, city, or state, but the course was much more than that. It was about building a business, not just a …
Earlier this summer (yes, summer isn’t over yet!) I had the privilege of hiking Mt. Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont, with Bruce Kink. That hike would have been virtually impossible for me in high school.

Last week, I had a very real conversation with my Chief of Staff (Hallie, who many of you know). She needed her next growth opportunity and was not sure if her needs could be fulfilled with me and at our company. That conversation has made me examine myself as a leader and provided me with my own growth opportunity. That …
I’m on a plane (again), so I’m going to make this one short and sweet (I have a few episodes of House of Cards to catch up on). I was on a CEO Super Business Panel on Monday and one of the questions we were asked was, “What was one ‘win’ that you were most surprised by.” And the first …

Herg Life means stepping outside of your comfort zone – whether that means skydiving, speaking up at your next company meeting, running a mile, or telling someone you love them.
