This week, Andrew interviews the CEO of Berkshire
Hathaway Home Services, Christopher Stuart. Chris, who is currently
responsible for leading the largest residential brokerage company
in the United States, shares his wisdom on performing at a high
level in business, entrepreneurship, and real estate. What’s
interesting about Chris’s perspective is how tangible his advice is
on climbing the ladder of high performance. He genuinely believes
that nothing just comes naturally, and even the most intangible
skill sets are able to be learned over time. Stuart and Andrew
discuss there importance of leveraging relationships, developing
likability and trustworthiness, being intentional with everything
you do, and the nature of succeeding with others as a team rather
than relying on a competitive drive to beat everyone else. His
advice is very different than the traditional self-help gurus found
in the personal growth space. You won’t want to miss this
one!
