Episode 13 On Sports and Real Estate: Winning, Leadership and Accountability with Mike Damiata

From the basketball court to the brokerage, there are more similarities between real estate and sports than one might expect. Just ask Mike Damiata, broker for Amherst Madison and former coach/referee.  In this episode of Callis Mindset, Mike sits down with Kannon to explain what separates the top-performing real estate agents from the ones who burn out: consistency, not talent.

Mike also shares lessons from coaching athletes, training agents, and leading one of Idaho's most successful brokerages, where plain ol' hard work remains one of the most accurate predictors of success.
