Speaker 2:good morning everyone. This is Brandon Matloff in Los Angeles. Welcome to this Stella Oak mavens podcast where we feature different mavens in different fields, a Maven as an expert of an expert. They are the go to person who you would want to ask all the questions to before making a decision. The purpose of our podcast is to help the consumer be more knowledgeable.
Speaker 1:Hi, my name is Selena. I'm an intern for Stella[inaudible]. This week we're bringing you a special themed episode. The theme is maybe Ben's advice for the younger selves, what we can learn from our mavens, regrets and mistakes. I will be giving you an array of advice for mavens across industries from personal and professional advice to help our futures. Our first bit of advice comes from lawn, Kroger, the head coach of the university of Oklahoma basketball program and founder and chairman of the coaches versus cancer golf classic. He played college ball at Kansas state where he won player of the year twice and later went on to coach Kansas state, his Alma mater, he was the head coach of the Atlanta Hawks as well as the New York Knicks. He has led five different teams to the NCAA tournament. A feat that only one other coach can claim. He was a coach of the year four times. He definitely has had a successful career and learn lots along the way. So let's hear from lawn, what was your biggest regret or mistake?
Speaker 3:Oh, I've got it made a lot of mistakes. That's a difficult to pick one out, but I think anyone in a position of viniculture or being imprisoned for organization or even the, you know, the father in a family, you're going to make mistakes, you know, and that it can. How do you respond to those and in how you communicate through those and how you, uh, rebound from disappointments is as important as anything else, especially as a leader and how others observed your response to tough times or response to the losses or the disappointment is extremely important. But I think always, uh, you know, we, we try to spend a lot of time with people that we care about. The time that the people that we, we, uh, we love. And, uh, even though we do bad, I think always you look back, go, there's a bold past and you look back and say, well, maybe I could've spent time differently or, or better or more effectively against then you lose loved ones you have that, you know, that checking guests about what God had done differently or could have done more of it. And usually the more of that come back to the category of time, no time to be is the most critical, uh, quality in determining where your, where your sincere interests lie. You know, you can't shortcut time with people that you care most about and expect to have a relationship that you, that you want to have. So I think it always has been, at what time would it be with a parent or a son or daughter or a player or, uh, you know, anyone, I could always come back to time
Speaker 1:if you liked what Lauren had to say. And one to hear more. Refer to episode nine to hear a full length interview of his phenomenal career. Our next piece of advice comes from Eli Karen. He's been a successful commercial real estate agent in the LA area for almost 12 years. Currently works with Telus properties and Douglas Elliman, real estate company. He's a UCLA grad and he got a masters from UT Austin. Let's hear from Eli. Karen. His biggest regret.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I tried to think of some off the top of my head. Um, and it, it's all top of mind right now because of the current situation. But um, back in my earlier days I was there, um, very excited when I would put a transaction together. And so let's say I, my, I represent a buyer. They're first time home buyer meeting on a property. It's two or three offers on the house. So it's fairly competitive. And either agent calls and says, Hey, congratulations to sign it. You know, I got it. I'm so happy for you. We'll back in my earlier days, I would pick up the phone, call my client, Hey, congratulations. You guys gotten the house. So exciting. You'll the guy that's, I can't be happier for you, et cetera. I don't have anything in writing. And then we'll say it's all about written agreements. So until I did something in writing, I never called my clients to tell them one way or another. Even if the agent calls and says, Hey, I have it in my inbox to graduation, like it's good to go. I always say, that's fantastic. Send it to me so I can give them the good days. Because if you make that phone call and tell your client, take congratulations, you just got this house or they, they start mentally moving into the home and then all of a sudden that agent calls you back and says, Hey, I really back from you, just swooped in and paid$50,000 more and my sellers are going to go with that buyer. That's a really tough phone call to make, to go back and somebody with your tail between your legs basically apologize that you didn't get this house. Um, so that, that's a lesson I learned early and a mistake I will not replicate.
