[5:55] KEN’S BACKGROUND STORY

In this episode, I start out by talking with Ken about his move to Orlando. Ken has worked in real estate from a young age. He talks about his early life in Detroit, getting married, and having kids. Ken and his wife both came from humble beginnings and it was easy to get on the same track that other people were following. They decided to sit down and really be intentional about their lives. They decided to buy a house and move to Orlando.   

[9:43] FLIPPING HOUSES AND FLIPPING THE NARRATIVE

Ken talks about flipping houses and how many people in his social circle discouraged him with doubts about his choices. He knew it was a risk, but went for it despite what people were telling him. He had success until the market crashed in 2008. He embraced the ups and downs and focused on learning along the way.  

[11:27] THE DRAW TO FLORIDA

Ken talks about visiting Florida before moving. After spending some time there, he and his wife knew that it was eventually going to be their home. They originally thought that was a distant dream, but they began to think about the moves that they could make to make it happen sooner. While he didn’t know anyone there yet, he decided to go for it. The positives outweighed the negatives when looking at their current life and how happy they could be.

[15:06] RESTARTING THE REAL ESTATE BUSINESS

Ken has always known real estate well, but he moved to Florida with some room to figure out his new business plan along the way. He saw a hole in the marketplace and began to apply a new model of real estate. He started creating Youtube videos with the purpose of attracting clients. It didn’t come right away. He created 80 videos before getting his first client. As he continued to create content, he learned to base it on providing value for his audience, versus for himself. In doing this, he saw a huge shift in the success of his videos. Another big part of success and something that kept him going was consistency. Ken talks about the benefits of youtube in his strategy, as well as the power of video.

Ken talks about how he utilizes the different social media platforms in his social media strategy. He shares how he uses different types of content for each and the purposes each serves in his overall strategy.

[36:14] AUTHENTICITY IN BUSINESS

Ken and I talk about how authenticity is so important, no matter what industry you’re in. He understands that his business isn’t for everyone. It’s better to be authentic and attract people that are really aligned with you. Like me, Ken also loves Disney. He talks about how that is a commonality between many of his clients.
