Bryan and Lisa talk about how to expand your practice and market yourself in this field, which is considered interest-rate safe. Even better: there's no client pressure, and the fees are higher.

What would it mean  for a person to be in a state of "permanent beta"? 

In this episode, Bryan hosts Entrepreneur Magazine editor-in-chief Jason Feifer to talk about his new book, Build for Tomorrow: An Action Plan for Embracing Change, Adapting Fast, and Future-Proofing Your Career. They talk about four common phases people pass through when they're facing change and how we can be so open to adaptation that we exist as a constant work in progress — a state of permanent beta.

"We spend far too much time debating whether or not something should happen when it already has happened," says Feifer. "So why don't we instead spend that energy figuring out how to make the most of it?"

Listen in as Jason and Bryan talk about how we can make the most of inevitable change—by being open to the widest possible range of possibilities for ourselves.

Bryan Reynolds talks with Jamie Owen, MNAA, HMS Aspen Appraisal Services about how to deal with times like these, when the appraisal business is slow. We discuss proactive strategies and how to maintain an optimistic attitude for the future. Appraisers will be around for a long time - will you continue to be one of them? 

Bryan has a message for you from a sunny balcony in Sarasota, FL: Appraisers are stressed, worried and just scared. But things are going to be OK. Keep your cool, stay positive, and look at ways to create opportunities. As an appraiser, you have a tremendous asset: your knowledge and skill set as an appraiser.
