The Brokers and Booze Podcast is where you get to hear brokers talk about real estate topics and drink some booze. That pretty much sums it up!
Voodoo Brew Pub and Lots of Beer | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 136We are recording again (pardon the background noise) at Voodoo Brewing Co. in #myrtlebeach at Broadway at the Beach. Today we went with the beer flights, and we each have quite a selection of tasty brews. And trust me, they are delicious. Let's talk a little real estate and how we are kicking off the new year! Cheers! Voodoo Brewing Company - Myrtle Beach
Todd Pinkler at Voodoo Brew Pub | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 135Super excited to record multiple episodes at one of the newer brew-pubs in the myrtle beach area, Voodoo brew-pub. For this first episode we interview owner and proprieter Todd Pinker. This veteran owned (thank you for your service) establishment not only has awesome brews on tap, but also a great food selection and unique kitchen menu. We enjoyed every bite and drink we had, and learned a lot about the Voodoo franchise. Join us for this introduction episode to Voodoo Brewery located at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC. Cheers!
Happy New Year 2025! |Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 134Another trip around the sun has landed us here in 2025. It's time for a new year! New opportunities, new challenges, and new cocktails. Hopefully some new guests too. We are excited for a new podcast year for the Brokers and Booze crew...make sure to stick with us and tune in for new episodes and new merch and new give aways...just a lot of new. Cheers!
Merry Christmas 2024! | Jem Social Myrtle Beach |Brokers and Booze PodcastIt's Christmas time and we don't want to disappoint! Thank you to JEM Social in Myrtle Beach for hosting our Christmas episode this year with their specialty cocktail menu! This literally may be the most festive place on the beach. We are ready for the holidays, are you? Let's spread some cheer this holiday season and keep the spirit(s) flowing!
RusshKY (Kentucky Russian) & Tis' The Season | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 133We invented a little cocktail for the holiday season with the help of VanGogh Espresso Vodka, Kalhua, and Bourbon Cream. We call it the "RusshKy" for short (Kentucky Russian). We could sip on this all day if we want to throw a little humble brag in there. Also, are you ready for the Christmas and Holiday season? We are! And we have some ideas for our real estate audience that will keep your business growing as we navigate the holidays and head into the New Year!
Bulleit Cocktails and Have To Answer Game | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 132Not one, but two cocktails make their way onto this episode. Bulleit Bourbon has 2 premade cocktails - a Manhattan and an Old Fashion - premade and ready to drink over ice. Depending on your taste preference, these are a perfect way to avoid multiple ingredients and just get straight to the enjoyment. We also play a little game of "You Have To Answer". Some real questions with our real answers. Cheers!
Fractured Skull Cocktail and Fall is Here! | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 131Well, better late than never! Some of us are still in spooky mode while many are all the way in on Christmas already. The rest of us are just enjoying the Autumn season. And that's what this episode is all about! Let's have a spooky cocktail with scary vodka while also talk about the changing season around us! Cheers!
NAR Update and William Wolf Pecan Whiskey | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 130All three of us can NOT deny that this Whisky blend was delicious! Pecan Whiskey from William Wolf on the rocks drinks smooth and tasty. Do not pass up the opportunity to try this! And, with are break from podcasting, we thought we would give you and update on the NAR lawsuit settlement and how we have seen it change our industry. And, maybe offer some opinions on the whole thing as well for good measure, cheers!
Lone River Ranch Water and Football | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 129We are back baby! We took a little break...well, a long break. Basically we are rebooting the podcast from our summer off. And, it's football season! We figured we would ease back into the podcast with a little football talk and a tailgate beverage of Lone River Ranch Water. A few different flavors of this seltzer, with a low ABV, perfect for all day tailgating before the big game on your schedule. Are you ready?! Cheers!
Special Guest David Egan Crescent Coast Insurance |Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 128SORRY FOR THE SOUNDS QUALITY - RECORDING ISSUES. We have a special guest, David Egan, Broker of Crescent Coast Insurance in Myrtle Beach with us. Plus, we have the pleasure of hanging out at our local Myrtle Beach cocktail spot, JEM Social. We love their cocktails and food selection! Let's talk about insurance for a bit...after all it does affect our Real Estate industry quite a bit. Cheers!
JEM Social with Jason Trend | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 127SORRY for the Technical Difficulties, but we had major audio issues with these 2 episodes. But, we didn't find out till later, so we could not re-record. In the spirit of getting even raw content out there for our people, we wanted to post both episodes from our local favorite, JEM Social. We meet with the owner and founder of this great cocktail establishment. Maybe it will sound a bit clearer if you have a couple cocktails and listen...cheers!
Twelve33 Birth Day Suit and Real Estate Tools | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 126The good news is we did NOT do this episode in our Bday suits...but rather enjoyed this delicious special run by Twelve33 Distillery, our own local favorite. This libation is great on the rocks or used in a myriad of cocktail recipes when you are looking for delicious. We also take a shot at explaining our most used real estate tools. What are some of yours? Cheers!
Coke and Wine Challenge & Who We Admire | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 125In this podcast episode we take on the Coke and Wine challenge. Grab you favorite red wine (not an expensive one please) and a classic coke (no diet, and we prefer mexican coke) and mix equal parts. What do you get? An interesting cocktail that even the biggest wine lovers admit is NOT that bad. Oh, and let's talk about mentors or who we admire in real estate. Gain some insight as to who influenced or still influences our host careers in the real estate industry! Cheers!
Cayman Jack Variety and A New Game! | Brokers and Booze Podcast | EP 124We have invented a NEW game! We call it "Shoot, Sip, or Spill". Well, we actually have 2 versions. We will pick a cocktail or drink of sorts and you have to decide to shoot, sip, spill it...or...we will give you three drinks and you have to choose of the three which will be sipped, spilled, or shot. Make sense? Well, it was fun for us at least. Plus, we reviewed the Margarita variety pack of Cayman Jack! Enjoy!
Mexican Coke and Real Estate Investing | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 123Does Chris love coca-cola? Yes. Does Chris like organic lemon juice? Yes. Does Chris like Tequila of any kind? Absolutely Not. But the boys are making him try it again, this time in our version of Mexico Coke cocktail. We really thought it was going to be a little different, but we later heard that maybe we should have used lime juice instead of lemon. Oh well. The meat of the show though in in our real estate investing discussion. We hope this provides a lot of value for everyone and we welcome building a community of our listeners that we can maybe help along the way! Cheers!
Bourbon Root Beer Float and State of the Market | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 122Ok, we wanted to try something different today. This could even be classified as the perfect summer dessert cocktail. A bourbon rooter float. 4 ingredients: ice, bourbon, root beer, and bourbon cream. This was delicious and we all gave it a thumbs up. On the other hand, the state of the current real estate market, we vary on opinion a little. Listen to get our perspective as where both he local and national real estate market stands at this point in 2024. Cheers!
Wellers CYPB and Time Management | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 121Mr. Yates did not disappoint in sharing his specialty CYPB Wellers bourbon with us. What a delicious bourbon (and expensive). A good bourbon is always a good time. Speaking of time, let's talk about time management. Who do you think of the brokers and booze podcast crew manages their time the best? We would love to know your opinion.
Kirkland Prosecco and First Time Buyers | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 120When you go big, you pop bottles! Well, we are popping bottles, but probably a more sensible budget friendly bubbly than we have had on the podcast before. We are featuring Kirklands Presecco, a little Costco treat to celebrate our discussion of first time home buyers. Maybe this is a great gift or a great first toast to your new home? Either way, make sure to have a membership for this drink.Cheers!
Swill Dog Spirits Bourbon and 2024 Predictions | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 119HUGE shout out to our social media manager, Alex, for this Christmas gift of bourbon. literally the best gift you could probably give to a Realtor ha.

Let's go!
Happy New Years 2024 | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 118We did it! 2023 is behind us (we survived) and now we look onward to 2024. It's a new year, but we are the same podcast.

Secret Santa and Merry Christmas 2023 | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 117Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays form the Brokers and Booze podcast crew! We decided to play a little game of secrete Santa using cocktails of course! I think we came up with some potential best sellers - maybe Santa will buy us a bar for Christmas.

Christmas Egg Nog Challenge and BYE 2023 | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 116It's the holiday season and we are making sure you have a good one! We give you 2 great Egg nog choices and maybe even some other ideas. We think cinnamon gives that Christmas taste, but Peanut Butter is just delicious anytime! And we explore how to use the end of the year for your business and carry momentum into 2024. Cheers!
Knobb Creek Old Fashion and Property Taxes | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 115Well, this is one of the best pre-made cocktails we have had. And one of the only ones we have had on the show! This Knobb Creek pre-mixed Old Fashioned is easy to drink and goes great on the rocks. We always appreciate our bourbon friends in KY no matter what they produce. Oh, and this is the time of year where you need a little bourbon when you get ready to pay those property taxes. That's right, its property tax season! Here is what we think about this time of year.
Friendsgiving 2023 | EP 114 Brokers and Booze HAPPY THANKSGIVING! From our families to yours, we wish you much love and gratitude this Thanksgiving and holiday season. We invited some of our best friends and family on this episode. We hope you enjoy the day! We had a special friend bring us a rare bourbon to enjoy (which you know we do) so thanks to all who help us at the Brokers and Booze #Podcast - everyone! We are so blessed!
Transfusions and Dream Jobs | EP 113 Brokers and Booze PodcastUsually reserved for the golf course, we decided to bring on the show the hit Transfusion drink. While for some of us this is the first time trying, many of the crew have had this drink both on the golf course and off. Oh, and we discuss our "dream" jobs - except we all already have them...so we had to make some stuff up LOL!
Mind Eraser Shot and NAR Under Fire | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 112We don't always do shots, but when we do, we like to forget about them. Enter the "Mind Eraser". None of us had tried this one before but decided like a god shot to forget your troubles. (make sure you like a little coffee flavor). Oh, and speaking of trying to forget troubles, we get into some debate and opinions about the NAR and real estate lawsuits in the news. What's your opinion? Everyone has one and we are open to hearing yours. But through it all we believe real estate will still move forward...it may evolve, but it is not going anywhere in our opinion. Cheers!
Happy Halloween! Butterfinger (shot) vs. Reese's (shot) | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 111It's spooky season, and we are coming to a close with Halloween! We hope you have a fun and safe evening and keep it light hearted with a lot of candy and maybe some scary movies. We decided to pit two classics, Reese's and Butterfinger against each other. Of course, with a little broker and booze twist, in SHOT form. Both were yummy, but only one could win! Let us know your favorite halloween drink or show us your best costume! Cheers!
Italian Brunello Di Montalcino Red & Agent Goal Setting | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 110We always appreciate a good RED wine, especially come into Fall and Winter, aka: Red wine season. Italians never disappoint, especially a 2015 vintage. But, we wanted to get back to adding some value to our real estate agent viewers. How can your company or broker help grow you career in the coming year, 2024? This is the time to start strategy and goal setting as we round out the last quarter of 2023 and look ahead to growth in 2024. Cheers!
Singleton Scotch 12 and 18 Year Compare and Market Opportunities | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 109When is the last time you had a good scotch? Well, we decided to try 2 of them. Many people have told us that they don't think the "year" aged makes a huge difference. We found out these people are wrong. LOL. But seriously, the 18 year is honestly awesome! The 12 year had a solid performance, but really stood no match against the finish and pallet of the 18 year Singleton. Oh, and we discussed some real estate opportunity...enjoy!
Football 2023-24 and Moosehead Lager Canadian Beer | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 108Are you ready for some football?!?! Well the season has started in both the college and professional football arenas, so lets drink some beer and get down to it! Since Canada doesn't really get the level of football we do in Merica, we wanted to to pay some homage by drinking a Canadian beer. Moosehead Lager is a solid lager with a crisp finish. While it may not be spotted at every tailgate, our friends to the North probably know it well! Cheers!
Lots of Liqours Pt. 2 w/ Mike Verive Pt. 1 | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 107 at Bourbon & Breeze
Here we go for round 2 with Mike! We learned so much and in this episode we get to try some very unique stuff, even from mike's personal stash! ANDDDDDD, we have moved on to the darker liquors (Chris favorite). We explore some bourbons and liquors and have a lot of fun doing it on this podcast episode. Special thanks to our friends at Bourbon and Breeze in North Myrtle Beach, SC for letting us use their speak-easy bar to record in! Cheers!
Lots of Liqours w/ Mike Verive Pt. 1 | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 106 at Bourbon & Breeze
This may be the largest amount of different liquors we have done on one show. Our special guest is an expert in liquor tasting! Mike Verive is a local professor when it comes to spirits and we thought he could school all of us on not only how to taste, but some unique brands we may not have heard of before. Let's start with the clear stuff and work our way down the line! This 2 part series is sure to pack a punch of knowledge, so cheers and enjoy!
Keto Friendly Summer Cocktail and 2 Truths and A Lie | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 105
We may have found the perfect refreshing cocktail for summer that is keto-friendly. A sugar free strawberry lemonade, add pure vodka, combine with fresh strawberries, blue berries, and raspberries and let it merry over night in the fridge. Perfect for a boat day, beach day or at the pool. There is a hint of nostalgia, so in tune we thought it would be good to play an old game of 2 Truths and A Lie. And you guys get to play too! Comment your answers below to win! Cheers!
Onda Tequila Seltzer and Insurance Controversy | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 104
This may be the flagship type of drink of summertime: Seltzers. Especially for the health conscious drinkers among us. Now this particular brand, Onda, has created a true Tequila infused seltzer drink. While we may have had some different rankings and debate amongst us, we need you to decide for yourself. And if you do, let us know about it in the comments or DM's. Also, what in the world is going on with coastal insurance?! This is a hot debater and a pseudo crisis we have on hands and it is affecting our real estate markets already! Gotta drink up to keep up!
Redemption 5 Yr Rum and Mental Health | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 103
It's officially Summer! Well, we kinda live that life a lot, but it is June and it's time for boat life. The next few episodes we recorded while having a day on the water. So we apologize for any sounds issues, but a change of scenery can be nice. Don't worry though, much like vacations are too short, these episodes are quick hitters. Good news is, though, we didn't forget the booze. This nice "pirate" rum is fitting for our first boat episode of the summer! So enjoy!
Starry Night (Gold Shlagger and Jagermeister) and Over Rated Under Rated Summer | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 102
Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots, Shot....well, we kinda made it a sipper. And the consensus was it really isn't too bad as a shot or a cocktail. You just might want to be careful. Jager and Gold Schlagger together can be dangerous. But Starry Night doesn't disappoint. And as we kick off summer we wanted to play a little "Under rated Over rated" Summer Edition. What are your thoughts on our common summer experiences? Do you think they are Under or Over rated? Let us know!
Busch Light and Captain Morgans Silver Spice & How To Be Human in an AI World | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 101
Well, you the audience asked and we responded! Does Busch Light and Captain Morgans Spice taste like Chocolate Milk? Well, no. But we can see why many think that. LOL. It has some hints, aromas, and some pallet that could allude to chocolate milk, but our ratings vary. We also dive into he world of A.I. within the real estate industry. How do you keep human as a Realtor or Brokerage while also utilizing the technology that is advancing to make your real estate business more efficient? Cheers to this discussion!
Dom Caudron Champagne and 100th Episode Celebration! | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 100We made it! 100 podcast episodes! Cheers to us. And cheers to you friends! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sticking with and listening with us. Our concept of cocktails and real estate talk is basically our favorite things ever. So thank you for indulging us in our favorite things. We are popping the bubbly today to celebrate! You can grab a glass as well and give yourself a high five!
Miller High Life and A Side Hustle | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 99Yes, we live the High Life everyday, but this is the first time we have had the Miller High Life on the podcast! And we decided to doctor it up a little bit. Find out which of us liked it. Also, in the real estate industry, whether you are starting out of have been in the business as a Realtor for a while now, you may need a side hustle. Want some ideas on what we think could be an extra side income, then listen up! Cheers!
Russian Standard Pickle Back and The Rental Market | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 98This Russian vodka is anything but "standard". Add a little (Food Lion) pickle juice, and you have yourself a little pickle-back vodka shot. Or, you can be anti-pickle like Nick and just do the vodka. But I guess that means Chris never has to do Tequila again. Nice! Either way, a little something different for our taste buds. And speaking of different, instead of real estate sales, let's take a little look at the rental market. Each of our hosts are involved in rentals in some form or fashion, so it just makes sense. Cheers!
Sheep Dog Whisky and Dr. Pepper and Summer Real Estate Marketing | EP 97 Brokers and Booze PodcastIt has got to the point where Brokers and Booze has started to try concoctions. Like we head on instagram that if you mix peanut butter whisky and Dr. Pepper starwberries and cream you get a flavor like chocolate covered strawberries. Well, we might disagree...or maybe not. Guess you got to listen! Oh, and maybe some help with your summer real estate marketing! You're welcome! Cheers!
Investment Strategy and Empathy Wine Napa Valley Muscat | Brokers and Booze EP 97How is the real estate market from the eyes of investors? Well, we have some opinions. At least, we have our OWN opinions on how we think this year, 2023, will shape out. While we enjoy a little of Empathy, former wine brand of Gary Vee, Napa Valley Muscat special NFT edition. Smooth and fruity. Not sure if that really correlates to the investment market, but we try our best to combine the two! Cheers!
Never Have I Ever Shot Game | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 96Wanna play a game? well we did! Never Have I Ever is that exciting (not really) drinking game loved by college kids and more! Well, we created a real estate edition with a little Red Bull and Vodka shot mix. Next time, we think we will get some fan submissions to make it a little easier on each of us so we don't entrap one another, HAHA! Cheers!
Super Bowl 2023 & Michelob Ultra | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 95It's the Super Bowl!! Well, it was. But when we were recording it wasn't. I know this seems confusing, but maybe we will figure it out. Who did you think was going to win? The Kansas City Chiefs or the Philadelphia Eagles? Well, we make our picks even though we know the results now. Oh, and how about those commercials? We enjoy a nice crisp Michelob Ultra while we talk about it - cheers!
RE Conferences and Events w/ The Plug Drink | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 94Welcome to our last "dry" episode! Well, at least for a while. Today we feature The Plug Drink. An all natural liver detox supplement that you take before bed. If you have been drinking that evening, you can take 1-2 Plug shots to end the night and give your liver an extra boost to detox your system and hopefully eliminate some morning after fog. We may need more samples to try - hint, hint ha. We also discuss the value of real estate conferences and events. Should you as a Realtor participate more in your local, state, and national events in the real estate industry? Cheers!
ZBiotic and Real Estate Investing | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 93Continuing our "dry" Jan episodes, this one is fun! Not only do we get to review the new product from ZBiotics Inc. A pre-drinking concoction that limits the harmful alcohol absorption in the gut allowing you to have better morning, but we feel like we are doing a science experiment in the process. Or, at least that we ARE the science experiment. Oh, and we each give some real estate investing opinions (yes, opinions only) in the current climate. Cheers to these mini bottles!
Jeng CBD Mocktail & 2023 Strategies | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 92It's January 2023! And many of you may be reducing your alcohol intake. Well, we thought it prudent and kind to do some reviews over the next few episodes of both #mocktails and some detox and hangover therapies. JENG CBD infused cocktails hit my instagram feed and I thought we should share our thoughts with the world. Oh, and we talk some real estate for 2023 too! Cheers (without the alcohol)!
Happy New Year 2023! | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 91Happy new year 2023 from our Brokers and Booze podcast! We usually do some champagne on these episodes, but this year we decided to do something a little different. I mean, have you seen the past 3 years??? We think it's time to change it up to bring something special for 2023. So, a little Grand Marnier is a nice after dinner liquor you can enjoy this winter! Plus we look at some expectation for the coming year from each of us. Let's celebrate to a new year of opportunities!! Cheers!
Christmas 2022 U/O and 2016 Greg Norman Reserve Cabernet | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 90From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We play one of our favorite games, Over-rated/Under-rated with a little Holiday cheer. Enjoying a very special, limited and not on the market Greg Norman Reserve Cabernet. Recording our 2nd episode at Greg Normans in Barefoot Landing private speak-easy. Super thankful for the opportunity! Cheers!

Distillery Exclusive Jameson Whisky & Holiday Prep! | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 88What a special gift from one of our listeners! An engraved distillery only edition of Jameson Whisky from Ireland. Delicious! And we are ready for the holidays - are you? Cheers a plenty!
Codigo 1530 Tequila & The Current Market | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 87Yet another Tequila - chris was thrilled. That's sarcasm for our new listeners. But, this is one of the more expensive drinks we have had on the show as of late. We still were chilling int he young of the Goodfellas Cigar Shop in Surfside Beach, SC. We thought it was time, fresh off a local Realtor conference, to talk about the current state of the market. So cheers to that!
Goodfellas Cigar Lounge w/ Brokers and Booze Podcast | EP 86
Let's switch it up! Instead of a cocktail, we decided to try some cigars with our new friends at Goodfellas Cigar shop in Surfside Beach SC. Stogies? Why not! Plus we get a little cigar education and some background how these brothers got into the business. Plus learn a little about the brokers and booze podcast hosts cigar history. Cheers to a smooth draw!
Sam Adams Octoberfest and Over/Under | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 85
Classic fall beer? Sam Adams has you covered! Their Octoberfest is iconic as an autumn beer perfect for football season. Or, at least perfect for us to review on the podcast as we talk some Over/Under. BTW, that stands "Overrated and Underrated". We go rapid fire with some random topics, some real estate, some football, all fun! Cheers!
Welland Barrosa 2018 Cab & Your Local MLS Board | EP 84 Brokers and Booze Podcast
Fall is the time for red wine. Well, season is the time for red wine in Chris' opinion. But especially fall and the holiday season! This australian cabernet, while young, does not disappoint. Make sure you let it breath for a little while when you are ready to pop the bottle. Speaking of breathing, the involvement in your local Realtor board can be the oxygen to your career growth. See what we did there? But seriously, the three of us believe in board participation and 100% encourage it!
Herradura Legend Tequila and A Changing Market | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 83
2 out of 3 Brokers and Booze podcast hosts love tequila. The other one is the sane person of the group. Yet, he will sacrifice and try it for the good of the podcast. This "legendary" and unique tequila had hints of caramel and vanilla on the nose trying to fool everyone and bourbon lovers alike to try it. But, in the mouth - still tequila. We also get some real estate talk in with this changing market. Many agents, if licensed in the last few years, haven't seen things like "price changes" before. How about you? Are you ready for a shift in your real estate business? Cheers!
Limited Twelve33 French Oak Bourbon & Football Season | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 82
We have a very special drink for a very special episode. It's FOOTBALL season!! We made it back! And this limited edition french oak barrel bourbon from our local distillery Twelve33 is a tasty libation to have on hand while watching your favorite team. Whether to celebrate a win, or nurse a defeat, we give 5 stars. Also, did we mention football? We make some bold predictions in this one for both the College Football Playoff and the NFL Super Bowl. Cheers!
Special Episode | Kevin Hoover w/ HYP and The Beyond Business Podcast!
One of our dearest friends Kevin Hoover invited us to be a part of his new #podcast, Beyond Business. We were more than happy to oblige. Cheers to this special episode!
Sauza Agave Cocktail & The "Market" | Brokers and Booze EP 81
Chris still tastes the Agave - but Bill and Nick disagree. What do you think? In case you have never had Sauza tequila, at least its better than that. And perfect for the beach! We think even a tequila hater can tolerate these. But the real test was talking about this current real estate market and where it is heading. What are you going to do as a Realtor? The next 6-12 months will be interesting. We would love to hear your opinion! Cheers!
Papa's Pillar Rum and Ginger plus Commissions Shhhh! | EP 80 Brokers and Booze Podcast
Rum and Ginger? Yes please! I think Rum is a summer staple when it comes to an array of drink specials. But straight rum and ginger (ale) is a sweet treat for sure! Plus the whole pirate thing we always allude to. Plus this episode is kinda naughty. Are we supposed to talk commissions in real estate? Well, i think the three of us handled it pretty smooth and ethically....mostly. LOL - Cheers!
Makers Mark 46 Blend & Ginger | Should You Buy? | Brokers and Booze EP 79
Do you want to keep the caffeine level down, while still having a delicious evening? Bourbon and Ginger! And what better bourbon than a special blend of Makers Mark 46? Yates got this bottle local, but it is anything but mundane. We also want to talk a little real estate of course. How are we doing as buyer (and seller) reps in this market in 2022? Are we being the best buyers agent expert given the current sellers market? Let's discuss and we would love to hear your thoughts as well! Cheers!
Bourbon Manhatten & Over-rated, Under-rated | EP 78 | Brokers and Booze
You know what we like? Bourbon. You know what gangsters liked back in the day? Bourbon. Well, at least we think they did. Something we believe is that Bourbon is NOT over-rated. As for the rest of the things we think are over or under rated, you"ll just have to listen to the episode to find out. Cheers!
EP 77 | Casino Azul (Jaguar) Tequila @ WiseGuys Bar & Meta Verse Real Estate
Ever had video get lost? It happens. So you can't see this fantastic golden Jaguar, but you should google the tequila and name of this episode so you can! It's fierce. LOL. Much like the tequila that is inside. A great center piece. Feels like what maybe the Aztecs may have drank...fitting that we flip to futuristic talk of Meta Verse Real Estate in this episode. It's a nice balance. Cheers!
Michelle Berman w/The Instagram Power Method and Zero Booze | Brokers and Booze Podcast Special EP
Ok, this may literally be an episode of firsts. The first time we haven't had any booze. The first time Yates fully missed an episode #wheresbill ? And, the first time (to our memory) we had a non-real estate agent or industry related professional on the show. BUT, actually this may be the most value packed podcast episode we have done. AND, it's massively for real estate agents! Michelle Berman is the founder of the "Instagram Power Method" and is helping real estate agents and Realtors get business through optimizing their Instagram strategy. So you need to listen to this!!
Special Episode w/ Abram Covella on Location at Tidal Creek Brewing Market Common | Brokers and Booze
Now this is a fun change of pace! Brokers and Booze was excited to welcome a special guest at a special location. Abram Covella is a north-east Remax franchise owner who basically doubled the number of agents in his company in the last 24 months. He is crushing it, and we were happy to chat over some happy hour drinks about his success and views on the real estate market. While he sipped on a jack and coke from his office in New Jersey, we landed at Tidal Creek Brewing company in Market Common in Myrtle Beach SC. They even gave us a free pretzel! Cheers!
Happy New Year! 2022 with Australian "Champagne" | Brokers and Booze EP 76
Let's pop the bubbly to #2022!! Well, at least an Australian sparkling wine in the Preseco family. But hey - it's still fizzy and we get that cool cork pop sound! That's how we ring in the new year with Brokers and Booze, and we are looking forward to a great year on the podcast. Our new #swag store launched!! Clothing, items for drinking, you know the basics all available for our audience. Go to our website www.BrokersandBooze.com to visit the store! Also, we plan to have more guests, new locations, and more libations that=n ever this year - so buckle up and Cheers!
Christmas Part 2: Secret Santa Drink & Holiday Traditions | Brokers and Booze Podcast EP 75
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! Brokers and Booze Podcast wants to take this time to really say thank you to all of you who listen to our podcast and we hope you enjoy it! We hope you have a fun, but safe, holiday season with friends and family. And we are looking forward to 2022 with you! This episode we decided to put a twist on a classic Christmas party game, the "secret santa" gift exchange...except our gifts: cocktails! We mixed up the cocktails, one made by a host for another host. Let's see who knows their drinks the best! Plus, a little insight into Christmas traditions and thoughts with the brokers, Nick, Chris, Bill.
EP 74/ Toasted Cookie Rum Hilton Head Distillery Rum & Christmas Part 1 | Brokers & Booze Podcast
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Brokers and Booze! We have a 2 part Christmas podcast series planned and this is part 1. We wanted to kick it off with a little present we received from Santa and play a drinking game. Are there any other kinds? Not to mention, our co-host nick Sowers brought back a little Rum treat from one of favorite in-state distilleries in Hilton Head, SC. Let the games begin on this NOT so Silent Night! Cheers!
EP 73: Hug Your People w/Kevin Hoover #GivingTuesday | Brokers and Booze
This episode we got to have a special guest and good friend with EXP Realty and HugYourpeople.org as a guest on our podcast. Even though he is traveling cross country with his family and on mission to help kids fighting cancer, he took the time to have a drink and talk with the Brokers and Booze boys. Kevin Hoover started a non-profit, HugYourPeople.org giving wagons, supplies, and hope to families who are going through what the Hover's went through with their son Baxter. We are honored to support this organization this holiday season and think you should as well!! Cheers!
An Italian Organic Red Blend and How To Crush 2022 | EP 72: Brokers & Booze
Realtor (and other) friends, can you actually taste the difference between organic wine and non-organic? Well, we tried to. While it is not a "sugar-less" wine (stay tuned for that episode), we did feel better about our health drinking a pure organic grown Italian wine. Well, maybe just Chris. It's been a while since we have done a red wine, and it was the perfect time to discuss the upcoming new year of 2022 and how we are going to crush the year in real estate! What's your goals strategy for the upcoming year? Cheers!
EP 71: Halloween Memories and Maker's 46 Gold Rush | Brokers and Booze
Well, it's the day after Halloween and we hope you had a memorable one! Every time we do a smoked cocktail, I think it invokes a little spooky vibe, so we decided to share some halloween stories, knowledge, and enjoy a drink. This Makers Mark 46 "Gold Rush" cocktail can vary in flavor depending on what wood you use in your cocktail smoker - so feel free to experiment. Maybe next time we record, it for Halloween we will be in costume! Cheers!
EP 70: Brokers & Booze Pump-King Beer and Scenarios 2
We did it! He said he would never in episode 69...we convinced him EP 70. Pumpkin beer for all, especially nick! You're welcome Nick for a little taste of fall in your glass and down the hatch. Seriously, did you think we could escape some fall episodes without a little pumpkin spice type beer or cocktail in our lives? Plus, it helped grease the wheel, so to speak, with "scenarios Pt. 2". That's right, we bring back everyone (we use that term loosely) favorite game-is discussion segment for this podcast episode! So CHEERS to all things pumpkin!
Bourbon Smash @ The Tavern & Scenarios Pt 1 | EP 69
(*we apologize for sound quality as we were live on location at a bar - go figure!)
You know by now that we don't shy away from bourbon...in fact we are probably the opposite extreme - we love bourbon! So, without getting smashed of course, we tried the bourbon smash live on location at the tavern in the forest, Carolina Forest in Myrtle Beach SC. We apologize for the background noise, but appreciate the opportunity to record some podcast episodes on location to try the local drinks on their menu. AND, this is part 1 of a 2 part podcast series we like to call "scenarios". We each come up with a scenario to see how the other 2 brokers would respond. Enjoy and cheers!
Tavern Punch & It's Football Season! | EP 68
(DISCLAIMER - Sound Quality Bad due to location recording - we know...thanks for your patience - and have another drink, we will sound better...if not, have another)
Time for football!! To kick off football season at this recording, we decided to record on location at a local bar...maybe not the best decision, but for us, totally worth it! What a way to start the Fall season, football, cocktails, and football....then more cocktails. Cheers!
Thee Nuts & Berries Shot & Overrated/Underrated Pt 2 | EP 67
Well, we don't always do shots on the show, but when we do we like it custom made from Pine Lakes Tavern in Myrtle Beach, SC. The "Nuts and Berries" taste pretty much like it sounds...and we think they could have probably thrown it over some rocks in a glass and been a great dessert cocktail. Oh, and are you ready for Overrated/Underrated part 2?! We were! Cheers!
The "PLT" & Overrated/Underrated Pt 1 | EP 66
Every once in a while, we get to introduce the world to a new drink that never existed before! The "PLT" is just that, named after the Pine Lakes Tavern in Myrtle Beach, SC. Malibu Rum, and tropical juice with a splash of soda, this is the perfect way to end summer. AND, we decide to steal, we mean replicate/copy out of admiration (sorry Garry Vee) a piece of content our buddy Gary Vaynerchuck does called "Overrated/Underrated". In fact, we like this concept so much that we are going to do 2 episodes of this...so enjoy part 1! Cheers!
The "Billifer" & Summertime Vibes | EP 65
Summer is coming to a close so we thought we would take an episode and just chillax a little. You know, summer summer time chillin' vibes and a discussion around what our typical fun summer may look like. We have a lot of vacationers here in the Myrtle Beach, SC area that save all year to come here. Brokers and Booze on the other hand lives the lifestyle year round, LOL. We also have a custom cocktail dubbed the "Billifer" in many circles, aka the vodka sunrise. A little fizzy stick added to vodka over ice can be very nice. Do you want the actual mixer we use? You're in luck - you can buy it here! www.williamyates.arbonne.com
Franziskaner Weissbier Beer & Agent Retention| EP 64
We try beer brewed by monks for hundreds of years while ironically talking about the age old questions for brokers, how to keep agent? Agent retention is the counter point to agent recruiting (go check out EP 63 last episode) and it is just as important in your balance to brokerage growth. So cheers to this discussion!
Diplomatico Rum & Get Ready To Recruit | EP 63
Rum is one of those spirits that we believe fits well in the summer time. From mixed drinks poolside, or on the beach. Or maybe just our fantasy of being pirates. Either way, we have a very special vintage from south of our borders to feature on todays show. And speaking of pirates, we have a nice little discussion about agent recruiting, which when you think about it....has nothing to do with pirates. Cheers matties!
4TH of July 2021 & Smirnoff Patriotic Seltzer | HOLIDAY EP
Happy Independence Day! It's the 4th of July weekend here in the USA and we are excited to come to you from a beach front condo in Myrtle Beach, courtesy of Eagle Beach Rentals (www.EagleResorts.com) of course! We found a patriotic seltzer from Smirnoff. Chris has yet to find a seltzer outside of Vizzy that he actually will say he "likes". Um, we wish we could say that changed with this episode...but it did not. We are also happy to share some summer thoughts, 4th of July experiences, and just in general have a fun episode! Happy 4th!
Let's Talk Crypto w/ Hawk & Horse 2011 Cabernet | EP62
So maybe a little off the real estate topic, in a sense, but we bring it back around a little. A very special red wine episode with tasting notes direct from Gary Vee and Winetext.com - this 2011 Hawk and Horse Cabernet was a steal from WineText. When we mix it with conversation about Gary Vee and his NFT release, that we bought some of, well this may be the most unique podcast episode we have put out to date!
Let's Talk Winning w/ Don Julio Reposado | EP61
Ok, normally I (Chris) don't think "winning" and #tequila belong in the same sentence, but I may be out numbered at our table. As Billy says, this is a sipper, not a shooter. He even has special glasses just for tequila. Chris does not find this fascinating at all LOL. But, what all three of us can agree on is that we are striving to win. Not necessarily against "others" but competing against yesterdays version of ourselves. Striving to improve and make our real estate companies better every single day. Cheers to that!
Fannie & Freddie w/ Colonel E.H. Taylor | EP60
A unique bourbon whisky our host Bill Yates found. Maybe one of the older bourbons we have had. But we got serious for a moment to talk about changes in Freddie and Fannie Mac that affect our real estate business. We would love to hear your thoughts on the changes coming down the financial lending side of our industry and how you think it will affect your real estate business.
Happy Cinco De Mayo! 2021 | EP59
Apologies in advance for the sounds quality as this episode of the podcast was recorded LIVE on CInco De Mayo on location at Taco Mundo in Barefoot Landing, North Myrtle Beach. We made a quick lunch stop to record a live-stream (check it out on Facebook for the full visual effect and you won't be dissapointed), some Tequilla and Tacos (well, Chris had the Tacos at least) and some fun!
A Bloody Mary and Market Updates | EP58
We could have called the episode " Bloody Mary's and A Bloody Market" because it's brutal out there! Speaking of brutal, our homemade bloody mary could have been a little better in Chris's opinion, but he also had no base of comparison since he had never had one before. Nick had a virgin bloody Mary (is that just called a "Mary"? or a "Bloody? - we have no idea) And Bill went fancy with his! All of this plus a little opinion piece about the current state of the market in our area and more!
We Play A Game, While Drinking O'Douls | EP57
Ok - so we wanted to have a little (apparently non-alcoholic) fun. While we believe there are some games possibly more fun with a few cocktails, at least in this one our answers are somewhat logical. We kid around a lot...maybe too much at times...but we hope you not only learn a little about each of us, but also can play along some! See if you can guess the answers before we tell you (and then if you don't, well I guess take a drink! See, it CAN be a drinking game too!) Cheers!
"Disney" Gin & Tonic w/ Zillow Thoughts | EP56
So Mr Yates decided to bring back a special Gin and Tonic mix from the Disney area of Orlando. Actually, I think it was out of St. Augustine now that we think about it. Either way, it's from Florida! Ha! And even though we have had Gin on the show beofre, with less than stellar enthusiasm, this one surprised us - or at least Chris. We think we could for sure sip on this and feel pretty sophisticated while doing so. Oh, and we share some opinions on that cuss word that starts with a "Z" for Realtors (Zillow) - so feel free to jump in and comment on this one!
Protein 20 & 75 Hard | EP55
Well we finally took the leap. We all gave up alcohol for good...we're just kidding, because that would mean we probably have to give up Real Estate too! LOL. (again, kidding). But, one of our hosts, Mr Sowers, is doing the 75 day challenge by Andy Frisella, so in the spirit of support we let him try a new protein drink along with a vigorous discussion on the importance of health and diet in your life and how that can help your real estate career.
Muckety-Muck Whisky & Escalation Clauses | EP54
This may be the most expensive bottle of Whisky we have ever had on the show. Ok, I'm pretty sure this is the most expensive bottle of whisky we have had on the show. Muckety-Muck makes an appearance to help us get through the discussion of "escalation clauses" in contracts that seems to be a growing trend in our industry. We may not all agree on this one, and it's unlikely the whisky was having a calming effect - LOL. Cheers!
Stella Artois and Crazy Talk! | EP53
Let's get back to basics with a well know beverage. Stella Artois (no, we didn't do the cool knife to remove the extra head form the top of the glass), but we did enjoy a nice beer-kind of conversation. We all have crazy, or unique, stories from our real estate career. And if you don't, don't worry, you will eventually. People even do whole podcasts around crazy stuff in real estate. We just wanted to share a couple of our experiences with you. (and we apologize for the audio cut out in the middle - technical difficulties, but the show must go on!)
Avion Tequila & Continuing Education Discussion | EP52
Well, they got Chris to try Tequila once again. Guess what, it still tastes like tequila! Well, at least Bill and Nick seem to like it. What you may like even better than the drink topic is the real estate topic. How do you feel about continuing education for our real estate industry? Now this does vary per state, so we would love to hear what you think about your states' guidelines. As a whole, we seem to agree that we could use some more requirements for education since we are a "professional" industry. But at the same time, we need to be reasonable to not affect the ability to serve clients well.
Happy Valentines Day w/ a Pinot Noir and Moving Trends | EP51
Love is in the air...well for most at least. We thought this episode was perfect for a little light Pinot Noir that you might want to share with someone special this Valentines Day. (or, maybe just for yourself ha). We also have seen some big trends across the country when it comes to moving (buying and selling) real estate in 2020. Did you move? Did you sell? We would love to know! Cheers!
Happy Super Bowl! | EP50
Well, we recorded this obviously before the Super Bowl LV started. And...I don't quite think we had correct predictions LOL. But we had a good time and we hope you did as well! A special treat and guest on this episode, Dr. Travis Stoner who brought us a Whiskey-Bourbon distilled in his county of Virginia. A great cocktail to have while watching the biggest sporting event in the world. Cheers!
David Arthur Napa Red & Creating A Frictionless Closing | EP49
You know we love a good Red as debate real estate related things. And David Arthur doesn't dissapoint. This Napa reed is juicy on the front with a smooth finish. Drinking above our pay grade as Nick said. We also wanted to take this episode to talk some things of value for our Realtor audience. How are you making the transaction as smooth as possible? How are you building relationship during and after the closing? And how do you ever do this job without a nice Red wine to end your day?! Cheers!
Agent Branding & Hilton Head Distillery Rum | EP48
This may be one of the most unique Rums we have tried on the show. In fact, one of the hosts, Chris, makes a distinct tasting note that many of you will be able to connect with the flavor we experience. Not to mention, every time the Rum comes out so to does the pirate nature LOL. But instead of finding treasure we decided to give some treasure (see what we did there) in branding advice and tactics for your real estate business to grow in 2021. Cheers!
Let's Get Tactical & Noah's Mill Bourbon | EP47
We want to provide as much value as we can to our Realtor audience and to help grow your career...and if we can drink Bourbon in the process, then yes! This rare bottle from the Willett family of distilleries, Noah's Mill, was tasty once you got past the initial burn. The flavors came out after the first taste. As far as the ideas to help you succeed in 2021, they also started flowing this episode! And listen to the end for Chris's big bold tech prediction for the industry. You might want to be the first to jump in! Cheers!
Starting Off 2021 & Purity Vodka 51 | EP46
It's #2021 - so how are you gonna start the year Realtors? How about with some smooth vodka distilled an awesome amount of 51 times, once for each week you are gonna crush this year (and then one week of vacation of course). We take a quick look back at 2020 and see what we want to carry into the new year (a little) and what we want to leave behind ( a lot) and give some predictions and advice for how to start the year strong! Are you ready for Brokers and Booze 2021, we are! Cheers!
Happy New Year 2021 & Champagne | EP45
Can we get a "what what" for all my people ready for 2020 to be in the rear view?! Let's pop bottles (we did) raise a toast (we do) and cheers to a new year, 2021! Happy new year from the Brokers and Booze podcast fellas!
Christmas 2020 & The Save Frosty Cocktail | EP44
Christmas is here! We are excited to feature a very very Christmas cocktail from Twelve33 Distillery called “Save Frosty”. Using their in-house liqueur, Santa’s Little Helper. It was delicious! We wanted to take this podcast episode and really just share some Christmas and holiday memories, traditions, and maybe let our audience see and hear what Christmas is like for the three of us. Enjoy!!
Twelve 33 Distillery Owner Kevin Osborn & The Spicoli's Van Cocktail | EP43
Did we by coincidence have a guest named Kevin in the holiday season (i.e Home Alone)? Yes, we think at least, as Kevin Osborn joins us on this episode of Brokers and Booze. Kevin is the owner and head distiller at Twelve 33 distillery in Little River SC. We are joined by him in his speak easy at the distillery where he is sharing with us one of the most unique cocktails we have ever had on the show! It is called the Spicoli's Van (older viewers get the reference) and it is a whiskey and pecan smoked cocktail. So cool (you should watch the video). Listen as Kevin tells us his journey and how Twelve 33 came into existence, plus, more about different smoked cocktails they can do. Check out their Pinterest page to find out how to make this one at home! Cheers!
Twelve 33 Distillery Cocktails w/Alexandra Osborn | EP42
Now this is going to be fun! We have 4 very special episodes for you over the next 4 weeks from our Brokers and Booze Podcast. It is the holiday season after all and our local distillery, Twelve 33, in Little River, SC gave us the gift of an awesome location (literally in a speak easy) to record. On this episode we have special guest Alexandra Osborn, part of the family that owns this distillery business, the marketing director, and also a local licensed real estate agent. So we literally get to talk with her about booze and real estate, kind of our main thing. Plus she introduces to 3 different house crafted cocktails they created on site. Cheers!
Mojitos in Ft. Lauderdale for Nick's Bday | EP41
We kept it pretty simple recording on location at a different beach. Different beach, same podcast as we said. And we kept it classy with a very well known beach drink, a Mojito. A favorite rum drink of vacationer's everywhere. And why were we in Ft. Lauderdale Florida? Because one of host's was celebrating the big 4-0 and wanted to go to one of his favorite places on the planet. Enjoy our on location episode of Brokers and Booze! Cheers!
Rum & Coke and the 2020 Election (Who Was The Drunkest President?) | EP40
Ok, regardless of your stance, right or left, Dem or Republican, Red or Blue, can we all agree that Rum and Coke rocks?! It's election 2020 and we decided to try and have fun in the midst of the chaos. Let's look at the drinking habits of our American Presidents. Would you have ever guessed who the biggest Booze fan was who held the oval office? Neither did we. Cheers, Captain style!
Unanime Red Blend and COVID vs. Rentals | EP39
Ok, this Malbec red blend is pretty tasty. We aren't going to lie. Plus, Chris is a huge fan of Argentinian and South America wines, so you know he is going to give it high marks, not to mention its a WineText.com deal so double marks!! But the wine won't save us from the conversation we need to have about COVID and it's affect on our rental properties and rental market in general. Things have been crazy this year with rentals and since all 3 of our Brokers are involved in rental companies as well, we thought it fair to share our opinions and outlooks for the future. So pop a bottle of your own Red and enjoy the conversation with us! Cheers!
Vizzy Hard Seltzer and Recruiting Season | EP38
Here we go again...Chris got us to give hard seltzer one more try with this antioxidant and Vitamin C infused Vizzy. By comparison to other seltzers, this one actually doesn't dissapoint. In fact, it may have won us over! The refreshed perspective on hard seltzers inspired us to give a refreshed perspective on recruiting season for #Realtors. (did you like that transition?) - Most agents if they are going to make a move wait till the end of the year or start of the new year to do so. So here are our thoughts on the matter...cheers!
Blantons Bourbon and Contracts | EP37
Well writing up a real estate contract while enjoying a nice glass of Blanton's Bourbon we do NOT recommend. However, talking about contract changes and procedure while enjoying a smooth bourbon...probably still not the best idea but we did it anyway. We have had some contract changes this year, 2020, in South Carolina so we thought we would give our professional opinions on what we think could even be better, things we liked, or disliked. Cheers!
Cold Brew Jameson and All About Chris Ward | EP36
It's probably kind of fitting that we try a whisky infused with coffee for the episode that is all about Chris. We find this Jameson Cold Brew to be unique and a little different than we expected, but ironically maybe great for our Realtor audience to try! LOL! As far as Chris is concerned, it seems he has been heading to where he is now for quite a while. His story has a pretty strategic trajectory to end up exactly where he is today. That's not without some unexpected things in life, but he seems to have had the "path" he is on in his mind for a while. Cheers!
Peyrassol Rose and All About Nick Sowers | EP35
Ok, so according to some #wine experts, Sept. is Rose month (at leas tin popularity). And you know we are all about popularity, after all we are the most popular real estate Broker podcast collaboration in the Myrtle Beach SC area! Or at least, we think we are? Anyway, this Rose drinks a little more like a Chard, and is not as sweet allowing White and Rose drinkers alike to enjoy! Bonus, Nick thinks it would pair well with seafood. Speaking of Nick Sowers, this episode is his feature episode - so enjoy!
Booze Pops and All About Bill Yates | EP34.mp4
Ok our friends - for the next few episodes you are going to get a chance to learn more about each of our hosts of the show! How we got started into our careers, and into real estate, and maybe a little #booze history and preferances. Enjoy!
Dustin Brohm Pt. 3 & Don Julio REAL Tequila | EP33
How many times does Chris need to say "no more tequila"? We have a feeling it is landing on deaf ears. Well, our guest, Dustin Brohm Massive Agent Podcast was subjected to the mayhem as well...at least we went Top Shelf with this Don Julio seclection for him. Possibly the most expensive drink we have had on the #podcast to date! Oh, and we talk more #realestate too....Cheers!
Dustin Brohm Pt. 2 & White Russians | EP32
Much like the #Dude, we enjoy a nice white russian on occasion. When we can figure out how to make it! Top it off with a little espresso drink from High Brew coffee company out of Texas, and you have the perfect happy hour pick me up! Maybe that's why Dustin noticed the energy level on a different scale in this episode. But luckily, Dustin Brohm (The Massive Agent podcast) decided to stick it out with us for this one, and even one more EP after this. So get ready to have some knowledge dropped on you real estate agents, cheers!
Dustin Brohm Pt. 1 & ALTA Revival Cabernet 2015 | EP31
Welcome to the show Dustin Brohm of the Massive Agent Podcast! Flying to join us al the way from Utah, Dustin bring s a huge amount of knowledge and expertise in the real estate field and marketing/branding know how. He endured 3 episodes with us (ha) and this is part 1 of a 3 part series. So, grab a drink, and enjoy with us! Cheers!
EP 30 - 6 MONTH REVIEW FROM 15 STORIES UP
The only Myrtle Beach Broker podcast with drinking and views you can't beat! Well, at least we like to think so! Cheers!
YPN Winner Brandi Minchillo & "Kitchen Sink Cosmo" Pt. 2 | EP29
Ok, are you ready for part 2?! Yes, Brandi (and we have no idea why) agreed to doing a 2-part podcast with us. She dazzles us with her bartending skills with the "kitchen sink" cosmo - and we get more in depth about the background of her real estate career and her journey as a #Realtor in the Myrtle Beach, SC area. From choosing a brokerage, to team concepts, to how she thinks agents should grow their career from her experience. Cheers to this episo
YPN Winner Brandi Minchillo & Non-Retail Tequila Pt. 1 | EP28
Ok, so when Bill gets a gift from a local Mexican restaurant and bar, 90% of the time it's probably Tequila. And our guest suggested tequila, so I guess we had to taste tequila. This unique blend was made specific for this restaurant so that means you can't buy it in stores (at least to our knowledge). So yeah, it's a special treat. That's why it is fitting we had a special guest and winner, Brandi Minchillo with Remax on for 2 episodes of Brokers and Booze Podcast. She won the opportunity to be our guest through a Young Professionals Network happy hour by sponsor Crescent Coast Insurance in Myrtle Beach. Lucky her! HaHa. Time to learn from her experience in real estate in the myrtle beach area! Cheers!
Summer Investors & Merritagio Napa Red | EP27
Tis' summer time here in the myrtle beach SC area - much like the rest of the country. But even with everything going on, we still have an influx of summer traffic and vacationers that see potential in owning investment property here at the beach! Every year, people who vacation in myrtle beach see potential in owning property here, renting it out, and making smart moves with their money. Since all three of us live and work in this world, we wanted to give our thoughts on the process and how to go about making smart summer investment moves in real estate. While we discuss, we also enjoy this tremendous winetext.com deal (shout out Gary Vee) - that has an interesting back story how we acquired it. Cheers!
A Real Customer & The Aperol Spritz | EP26Welcome our guest and Aperol spirits promoter, Andrea to our show! We brought her on mainly to get a new cocktail experience, but ended up having a real discussion on the buying and selling process from a true customer looking at real estate in the current market. Enjoy!
Covid and Real Estate & Malibu Punch | EP25
Let's talk about Covid and Real Estate on the only podcast that Myrtle Beach, SC realtors and brokers need to pay attention to. Well, maybe that is pushing it, but honestly - where else are you going to find drink reviews and tastings mixed with 30 years plus in real estate experience discussing ideas and opinions on the real estate industry?
Are You Ready To Adapt & Gold Schlager | EP24
Here we go - remember that drink the girls (and guys) used to shoot in college to help their breath? We found it! A little Gold Schlager we found on the shelf and dusted it off. Plus we discuss how the "new normal" for Realtors is the present reality and we need to adapt or die.
Realtor Innovation & High Brew Coffee | EP23
Ok, last episode we talked a lot about different ideas for businesses in general with the global pandemic and local shut downs. This episode we get a little more specific into the Realtor and Real Estate industry space. Some ideas specific for your business during these times we are all dealing with. Also, big shout out to Bill's cousin and his company High Brew. An array off coffee beverages with a focus on healthy that we got try and use, well, as a mixer mostly. Ha, it was good!!
Business Innovation & Long Island Iced Tea | EP22
Ok - we have to talk how to innovate in our real estate industry and business - but, we wanted to open up that conversation to all business and industries. We hope to have some good ideas for you and your business, even as we try this classic Long Island Iced Tea drink. Honestly, i don't think most of us have tasted one of these in years. (And it has nothing to do with fear of Corona)
Paul Stecker w/Phil Treadwell & Kurayoshi Japenese Whiskey | EP21
We had 2 guests for our final episode of #mortgagemarch on the podcast! Mr. Paul Stecker from Myrtle Beach, SC joined us along with our old friend Phil Treadwell. We drank a unique japanese whiskey while exploring the current state of the mortgage industry and what new lenders should make sure they are doing to grow their business. Enjoy this episode with a drink on the rocks or neat - whichever you prefer! Cheers!
Max Neubauer & Wrightsville Beach Brewery | EP20
Special guest Max with Guild Mortgage joins us for another episode in #mortgagemarch as we talk about how he grew his business in a short time frame primarily through Realtor networking. Max is a top lender in his market and almost exclusively grew his mortgage business by Realtor referral and Realtor events. We also get to open a few cans from a brewery just up the road from Myrtle Beach in Wrightsville Beach NC. Wrightsville Beach Brewery has some unique craft beer that some of us liked more than others at the table. Cheers!
Phil Treadwell Part 2 & Grey Goose XV | EP19
We try to not get too roudy in our second installment with Phil Treadwell @MORTGAGEMARKETINGEXPERT as we break open a bottle of Grey Goos XV vodka on the rocks and learn more about Phil's view of the macro of the mortgage industry and his thoughts on the direction and trends in today's mortgage industry. Also some great advice for lenders and what they should be doing to grow their business in 2020 and beyond.
Phil Treadwell Part 1 & Oban Little Bay Scotch | EP18
Welcome Phil Treadwell, @MortgageMarketingExpert to the show!! Phil joined us for multiple episodes, but this is the first! His love of Scotch matched well with our love of booze in this episode. Not only do we get to learn a little about Phil and his journey in the mortgage business, but this also is the launch episode of #MortgageMarch on our podcast! So enjoy sipping some scotch with us, grab a glass, and relax and listen!
Real Estate Teams & Sophie Goose Island Beer | EP13
In this episode of the greatest real estate broker podcast that involves alcohol in the world, (possibly overboard?) we explore the trend, along with the pro's and con's of #teams in the Real Estate industry. It seems fitting as we head into Super Bowl Weekend, though one of our broker's here is not as thrilled as he might have been given the Ravens aren't there. Teams can be a great strategy, but you need to think of some things along the way.
We also feature a beer that made our Chicago native BIC very happy. We think Sophie from Goose Island Brewing is the real champagne of beers! Cheers!
Pay Leads vs. Sphere & Johnny Walker Blue | EP12
Who doesn't like a little Johnny Walker Blue after a hard day of selling real estate and making people's dreams come true? Whether celebrating the closing or a little emotional fix after a closing falls through, it's perfect for every occasion.
Speaking of needing to mellow out with some whisky, talking pay leads vs. sphere marketing is surely up for debate. Both work, but some of us at the table had different views of if paid leeads should be the backbone of your #realestate business over the life of your career.
Overpriced Listings and High Wire Distillery Rum | EP10
Can i get a rum and coke please? Well, how about a locally distilled in Charleston SC run from High Wire Distillery. This upper shelf Rum doesn't dissapoint, and is for sure a different pallette then the commonly known white or Spiced Rums on the market. We love #Local!
And for our #Realtor friends - a quaint disucssion on taking over-priced listings. You know you have an opinion - heck you have probably done it or not in your career. So feel free to share below your thoughts! We won"t (will try not to) get our feelings hurt. That's what the Rum is for haha.
Merry Christmas Realtors and Resplandy Muscat de St Jean | EP08
We wanted to take this episode to wish everyone a merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season! To all our friends, family, and Realtor community, we hope you had a great 2019 and here is something "sweet" to close out the year. A beautiful dessert wine for after the Christmas meal. This french wine is filled with apricot, honey, and white apple notes to go along with all the sweets. Maybe even leave a little out for Santa!
We also discuss our personal beliefs on working through the holidays in real estate and how that looks for each of us. No judgement and no one right way, just some different points of view on current culture and real estate industry strategy in the holiday season. Cheers!
Part-time Real Estate Agents & Chambord | EP07.mp4
Ok, we expect a lot of comment below on this one! Let's talk about "part-time" agent and Realtors in our industry. Thoughts? Well, we had some. Hope you enjoy the debate and insight into our thoughts on the good, bad, and the ugly of PT agent careers.
On a sweeter note (pun intended), we had a little dessert liquor maybe you have heard of. Chambord is a well known liquor and yet something the 3 of us rarely enjoy. This Holiday Season seemed like the perfect time of year to feature it in our show! If you like Chambord, give us a "like" on this video! (or even if you don't

Join us for a special holiday pre-qual episode of the Brokers & Booze #podcast. It's that time of year, and giving gifts is one of the greatest parts! Even in this episode, we were given the gift as we started recording of @empathywines being delivered to the door without prior knowledge. How awesome is that?! So, enjoy with us a Red from Empathy and some discussion on how to make gift giving to your #realestate clients and customers and agents (for you BIC//Owners out there) a priority this holiday season. Drop some comments on the topic or the booze, or both below!
Are Your Reviews True and Banner Elk Winery - EP03 - reviewing the red wine of Banner Elk NC, and debating the validity of real estate reviews on your website. Should they all be 5 star?
Well, 2 out of 3 of us enjoy #tequila - 1 does not. But, sacrifice is necessary when building greatness! LOL! In this episode of "Brokers & Booze" we try some Don Julio 70 and get some education in Tequila from the man himself, William Yates. We also discuss a controversial, and long standing marketing tactic for #realtors, NOT putting a price on properties we market online or via traditional methods. We offer some insight and opinions of our own, as well as sharing you, our audiences, comments on the subject. Cheers and enjoy!
Excited for our new episode as we taste and review Michters Bourbon and talk about whether or not real estate agents and Realtor's should be asking directly for referrals or not. We know how important referral business is to us in the real estate industry (and other industries like ours, mortgage, insurance, etc.) but should our service speak for itself to encourage clients to tell others to use us, or should we have some "big ask" moments where we are direct with our past clients? We let you know our thoughts. Cheers!
