| You Don’t Need To Know CRE To Love This Episode—You Just Need A Mom | Ep. 100 | 15 Apr 2025 | 02:45:51 | |
🎉 100 episodes later… we bring you the woman who started it all: our mom. In this very special milestone episode of Commercially Speaking, Bo and Timmy sit down with Jo Barron, the original communicator, a real estate entrepreneur, teacher, ballerina, and matriarch of the Barron family. What starts as a celebration of 100 episodes becomes a heartfelt, hilarious, and often tear-inducing journey through faith, marriage, parenting, storytelling, hospitality, entrepreneurship, and legacy. Jo shares how she sold condos in Acapulco, turned open houses into theater, started a Century 21 franchise in a hotel lobby, raised six kids (plus a few extras), and came to faith in Christ in her 30s—all while never backing down from a good story or a great handshake. 🎙️ What You’ll Hear:

| From OVERWHELM to CLARITY: Master MARKETING for CRE with Wes Gay [E077] | 04 Nov 2024 | 01:05:59 | |
In this episode of Commercially Speaking, marketing expert Wes Gay joins Bo Barron and Timmy Barron to simplify the complex world of marketing for Commercial Real Estate (CRE) professionals and other business leaders. Wes is Donald Miller's top-recommended marketing expert and is known for helping brands “find the right words to make more money.” Wes dives into the overwhelm many brokers feel, believing they need to be everywhere—on social media, billboards, ads, podcasts, email campaigns, and more. His message? Simplify your marketing. Start by honing in on your ideal client and their biggest problem. Once you have clarity, use empathy and authority to demonstrate your expertise and choose the right platforms that align with your strengths. The conversation explores common mistakes brokers make, like using social media to impress peers instead of connecting with clients. Wes shares insights from Donald Miller’s Building a Story Brand, emphasizing the importance of positioning your clients as the heroes of their story and stepping into the role of the guide. He even explains how raising the stakes for your clients, like in great movies, can make your marketing more compelling. Tune in to learn how to simplify your message, attract the right audience, and make a bigger impact—all while staying true to your unique strengths. 🔔 Subscribe for more marketing and prospecting strategies tailored for CRE professionals!
