Today I'm joined by Trudy Losee and Danielle Aglio, the hosts of Long Island's hottest new real estate podcast: Chaos to Closing. I've been encouraging realtors to start podcasts for years now, and only a few have followed through with it.

Today's guest is none other than Matt Porcaro, the man leading a revolution with the power of the 203k loan.

The 203k is notorious for being extremely confusing, which deters a lot of people from harnessing its true power, and what Matt has done with The 203k Way, by simply and consciously explaining the loan, is nothing short of philanthropic.

Tim Herriage is a Texan Investor with Over 2000 Flips to His Name // Handsome Homebuyer Podcast 227
I had the privilege of first meeting today's podcast guest at a masterminds conference in Texas, and right away I knew he was somebody I could learn a lot from.

Breeze: Long Island's Top Club Promoter // Handsome Homebuyer Podcast 225
I've often wondered what happened to the great night club scene that Long Island once had to offer, so when Breeze reached out to me after I recently made a video on the subject, I knew I had to have him on the show. It's always great learning more about other industries, and when it comes to the clubbing industry, there's perhaps no greater teacher than John Breazzano AKA Breeze. On this episode of the podcast, we get into the past, present, and future of Long Island's nightclub scene, as well as Breeze's own rise from throwing keggers in the park to promoting some of the hottest clubs in the country

Top 20 Under 40: Vanessa Lotito - Zen and the Art of Real Estate // Handsome Homebuyer Podcast 224
For someone so young, Vanessa Lotito is quite relaxed and sure of herself. One could easily mistake her musings on living a stress-free life for those of a far older person, and yet they come from this 25 year old, top Long Island realtor, it's truly no wonder she was able to secure a spot on the LIBOR 20 Under 40 list with only 2 years of real estate under her belt. Vanessa displays a much sturdier sense of emotional maturity when compared to other people her age, and frankly when compared to most people not her age as well. It is unfortunate that all of this is cancelled out by the fact that her favorite ice cream flavor is plain vanilla soft-serve, but we'll get into that on the podcast.

J.R. Orenstein Turned Down Hollywood to Sell Insurance // SLCP 206
I've known J.R. Orenstein for years, so it was a no-brainer that he'd be my first guest in the insurance industry. One of my favorite things about J.R. is his incredible social media presence. He produces some of the highest quality content of anybody in any industry I know, thanks in part to his brief but formative career in the film industry. While the insanely demanding hours of working in film proved to conflict with his aspirations of a stable family life, J.R was able to hone his remarkable media skills on the soundstages and backlots of Hollywood productions.

This is How Codells Became an Internet Sensation // SLCP 203

Successfully Selling Commercial and Residential Real Estate - Rob Lorenzo // SLCP 190
Today in the Smells Like Cat Pee Podcast studio we got Rob Lorenzo, a recipient of the LIBOR 20 under 40 award for his achievements in selling residential real estate on Long Island, and that's completely unrelated to his countless achievements in selling commercial real estate. While they both involve selling property, the similarities of commercial and residential real estate just abound end right there, because these are completely different animals that require drastically opposing skill sets. From the emotional support required of residential agents, to the calculated know-how of commercial agents, Rob Lorenzo is a real renaissance man, which is why I've dupped him the Bo Jackson of Long Island Real Estate.
