EPISODE 145: You probably didn’t expect that we’d be talking about storytelling. But here we are!
A couple of months ago, I realized that I just couldn’t get my message across. So, I made it my personal goal to figure out how to tell better stories to boost my business. And that’s when I came across Steve Rawling!
Steve was a journalist at BBC Television for nearly 20 years. While working there, he realized that while everyone has the ability to tell a good story, it is rare for people to do so at work. So he decided to start teaching people how to tell better stories in their businesses. He wrote Storytelling Tactics, a deck of cards that I can only recommend, and started training people like me one-on-one.
He’s here today to share some of his storytelling magic with you! We focus mainly on the use of storytelling in real estate investing, so this should be particularly helpful to you guys!
Tune in.

How to Conquer Big Land-Flipping Goals WITHOUT Getting Overwhelmed
EPISODE 146: Jesse Bibbee successfully finished the Ultraman triathlon in 2024.
That includes a 6.2-mile swim, a 261.4-mile bike ride, and a 52.4-mile ultra-marathon run.
Most people find this impossible to fathom.
In fact, most finishers also do. As Jesse Bibbee told me in our interview, he probably wouldn’t have been able to finish the race if he hadn’t broken down his big goal into smaller, more manageable action items.
And this mindset doesn't apply just to endurance sports. Jesse applies the same logic to his land flipping business and has achieved remarkable success, closing 41 deals in his first year.
Wanna adopt some of this mindset yourself and start tackling your goals like a winner?
Then tune in to this super insightful interview with a truly remarkable athlete and real estate investor.
Key Takeaways:
- 00:00:00 Intro
- 00:00:38 How Jesse got into land flipping
- 00:01:48 Treating your business like a machine
- 00:05:21 Scalable real estate investing strategies
- 00:11:48 The energy audit and saving time
- 00:17:00 Advice for aspiring land flippers
- 00:19:43 The impossible list
- 00:23:23 On collective genius and being surrounded by the right people
