CGTV

Stock broker, restauranteur, real estate investor, venture capitalist, and former owner of HŌM Sotheby's, Mike Shapiro defines what it means to be an entrepreneur. Mike talks about his perspective on the value of failing, and how his father encouraged him to take risks and embrace failure.

Nicole and her husband Matt are the owners of long time local favorite restaurant, Buddha's Favorite Sushi on Lido Isle in Newport Beach. Hear how the last year has been since they took over the joint, and how they're pivoting to delivery and to go orders during the Covid 19 quarantine.

Mike Shapiro, real estate, finance and tech guru, is back for a very overdue part II. If you haven't listened to part I make sure to go listen to Mike on episode 3.
This episode is all about what Mike has been up to since the last time we had him on the show. Since then, Mike has pivoted to the tech world, and is a part of a real estate tech startup with some big hitters from Silicon Valley.
Per usual, we learned a ton during this recording, and we think you will too.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

Welcome to the first episode of the second generation of The CGTV Podcast! We have a brand new intro that we’re pretty hyped about. Recognize the voice? If you’ve been following the show from the beginning, our hope is that we can continue to bring our listeners value and entertainment.
Today’s guest is Keith Flores, @HVACGOD on the gram, owner of Smart Choice Heating and Air. Fun fact: since recording this about a month ago, CGRE was able to get him and his family into a beautiful new home in the heart of Dover Shores in Newport Beach.
Keith is building an extremely strong local brand in Newport and Costa Mesa through the use of social media advertising, and local influencer partnerships with Bear Degidio @beardegidio, Chad Towerdsey AKA Uncle Tito @ocinstanews and Ashley Flores @ashleyfloresfit, just to name a few.
We talk about the struggle we share trying to build a digital brand, how frustrating partnerships can be when one side decides not to hold up their end of the bargain, whether or not you should wrap your vehicles with your logo and a whole lot more.
If you or anyone you know needs a new HVAC system as the so cal summer heat sets in, Keith and his team at Smart Choice Heating and Air have you covered!
You can find Keith on Instagram @hvacgod and @smartchoiceco

Jeni is a straight up rockstar. We had her on the show before the Covid crisis, and we didn’t air the episode because we had an issue with the audio and it wasn’t very relevant within the context of the global pandemic we were experiencing.
We had the pleasure of having the owner of one of our favorite local coffee shops in Costa Mesa on the show again! She’s so gracious. Coffee Dose is one of the local small businesses that has been able to stay open in Costa Mesa for to go, curbside pick up and delivery. Fortunately, they’re still open and have been able to continue dealing some major vibes!
Jeni is true to who she is and we love that about her. You’re going to love this one.
