  • Episode #80: The Life of a Small, Independent Business Owner
    2025/07/08

    Send us a text

    The daily life of a small, independent business owner (aka entrepreneur), is not something that is talked about often. Actually, the general topic of daily life is so infrequent, it's hard for us to find other podcast content that focuses solely on it. Yes, there are plenty of business and marketing podcasts that teach you how to market, build, and scale a business, but there are few episodes that talk about the actual lifestyle and how to get through it. Going off and starting something on your own requires the business owner to often times go it alone; sometimes there's a partnership, and sometimes there isn't. On today's B&R toppie, Sean & Tim talk about what's it's like to own and operate a business through their own lenses and experiences. Looking for some quality small business mindset nugs? Dig in!

    Our goal with Bricks & Risk is that you walk away with 1 or 2 valuable nuggets that can help build your own business. Our audience grows through word of mouth, so if you would please take a moment of your time and give us a review on the platform you’re on, that would be fantastic!

    Please also help spread the B&R word by sharing your favorite episode with a friend. You can find all B&R episodes on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and anywhere else you get your podcast content. We greatly appreciate your time and trust.

    Until next week, keep learning and keep growing!

    If you're in real estate and from the Greater Philadelphia area, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who has not heard of Skye Michiels. From a super-successful real estate team leader and brokerage owner, to a nationally acclaimed speaker and coach; Skye's done it all in residential real estate. As a leader, Skye is kind, empathetic, and on a mission to change the way real estate agents and business owners think about their work. From thoughtful, spontaneous conversations with local homeowners to a less-is-more marketing approach, Sean & Tim dive waaay down into the human psyche with Skye, and as a collective group of three thought leaders, discuss some amazing perspectives and knowledge points that can be applied to your own business and life!

    2025/06/17

    Send us a text

    Sean & Tim were lucky enough this week to sit down with a local, real estate legend: Lisa Murphy. Lisa is a hard worker, loyal advocate, and a complete self-starter. Her story about buying a Shore house, not being thrilled with her agent, and then just going out and getting her license, is enough to motivate you. In this episode, we talk about the importance of reputation, the hardships when scaling a business, and Philadelphia's sweetheart neighborhood: Roxborough. Listen to or watch to learn from one of Philadelphia's best agents.

  • Episode #76: What is the difference between a "Scarcity" and "Abundance" mindset?
    2025/06/10

    Send us a text

    As much as Sean & Tim joke about "glass half-empty" and "glass half-full," we both believe in the abundance mindset. In other words, "There is plenty of business for everyone." Again, just our own perspectives; there is no right or wrong way to look at business. On this episode, we dive way down into the psychology behind why some believe in scarcity and why others believe in abundance. This one is guaranteed to get your gears moving upstairs.

    While Josh Buchter & Beth Williams are heavily focused on the real estate industry, they also work with salespeople, contractors, and small business owners in other industries. More or less, their company's model is to promote and market small business owners of all kinds: carpet cleaners, credit repair, barber shops, etc. As world travelers and collaborative marketers, Josh & Beth tend to connect and do business with good people. When they find them, they assist with their company marketing, social media, and in-person networking. Josh & Beth are entrepreneurial, hard-working, and honest, which is why Sean & Tim were so excited to have them on. This duo discussion delivers on lots of different levels, please enjoy!

  • Episode #74: Why do consumers assume real estate and insurance agents are all the same?
    2025/05/29

    Send us a text

    Good question, and a fair one as well. Sometimes, those seeking the services of a real estate or insurance agent believe that most of them are held equal. For real estate, they just open doors, write paperwork, and get paid. For insurance, they just field calls, get quotes, and get paid. Right? Wrong. In fact, real estate and insurance agents are some of the most valuable professionals in the service industry. Why you may ask? Well, buying, selling, and leasing the right home, as well as protecting your most valuable assets, are pretty important decisions to make. Sean & Tim discuss why the public majority may think this way, and why it may pay to think differently from now on.

    Our goal with Bricks & Risk is that you walk away with 1 or 2 valuable nuggets that help build YOUR business. Our audience grows through word of mouth, so if you would please take a moment of your time and give us a review on the platform you’re on, that would be fantastic!

    One of our listeners/watchers all the way from San Antonio, TX, Nick Disney, also happens to be a stud entrepreneur. Similar to Tim, Nick flips homes. But ... he is also providing seller/private financing when he flips; which is not your typical home flip. If you like residential real estate investing, this one is for you! Sean & Tim discover how Nick got into "holding paper" and how it is one of the best and consistent ways to earn passive income in real estate.
