Real Producers

From chasing down autographs and selling them, to running a real estate team, the same things make a good partnership tick. A unified vision and egoless collaboration are the key to making it last.

Unfortunately, too many people jump into a partnership thinking only about how it will boost production and income. If you’re selling a lot that means you’ll be a powerful force together, right? Wrong! Those people find out how hard it is to keep something going on such a flimsy foundation.

How did Tommy Choi and Josh Weinberg create the basis for a successful partnership way back in college?

In the episode, the co-team leaders share how they built their business and all their best stories from collective autographs over the years.

We have a unified vision, egoless collaboration and we’ve dug a deep moat around our friendship. Without those 3 things, it’s hard to have a partnership. -Tommy Choi
