Episode 167:

Justin Stoddart is most proud of being married to a superhero wife and being the father of six amazing children. In his professional life, Justin has built businesses over the past 20 years. In doing so, he’s found his passion is to inspire people to see the potential that is within them so that they can be in pursuit of that potential, leading a happy and fulfilled life of greater impact.

He is considered by many to be a real estate industry challenger by helping the title, lending and real estate industries to think bigger about the value they can bring into the relationships of their clients and others in their industry.

He is the author of an upcoming book The Upstream Model, which is focused on helping sales and service professionals rise above being displaced and replaced by technology and low cost labor by increasing their value proposition, their ability to communicate that value and the size of their audience.

He is the founder of Think Bigger Real Estate® and host of the Think Bigger Real Estate Show podcast in which he broadcasts a daily interview with a big thinker and high achiever.

As thinking changes, their actions follow, then their results and then their impact also follow suit.
