Well, today we have an interesting guest really smart guy who just released an incredible book. And I wasn't sure what we were going to talk about. I wanted to talk about the book and I just come to realize that this guy is incredibly knowledgeable about the mortgage industry and housing, and in predicting where the housing market is going and he's in the media all the time, CNBC, wherever else, Fox business. So we ended up talking about the housing market and the future of what's going on in terms of mortgage financing and real estate, residential real estate, specifically at the beginning of this interview. And then we got into his book, which is amazing because it's about opportunity where opportunity lies that the fact is opportunities around you all the time. And it's just a matter of being aware.
And we talked about mindset and trends and his stories are interesting about what inspired him to write the book. He's very well connected. He's an amazing individual. I've come to really like him, and we're going to be hanging out together in New York. The next time I'm out there, which is another business venture that I'm involved in related to broadway. I'm going to leave that to the very end of the episode, where we talk a little bit about that I could have gone on for hours with him about every single one of the topics we talked about. So we're going to talk about real estate trends going on in real estate. We're going to talk about his book, Money in the Streets and opportunity and mindset. And we're going to talk about a little bit about Broadway and what he is doing in that. He's been very successful. So with that, we are going to move on to my guest and I think you're going to really enjoy the show.

It's great having you on. You're a very interesting guy. I love your new book and I really love what you've accomplished. And as we were talking here offline, you've told me about some of the other achievements that you've had recently.

So you're very kind. Yeah. I have been named the Top Real Estate Forecast for the year by Zillow and Polson Homes for 2018 and 2020. I was the only one who won that twice and there's so many wonderful, respected, big names in there. You know, you get Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and many, many, many others.
