The first in our special edition

series: Buildify Method Titans of Industry

From time to time, Aaron & Ryan

release special edition episodes called Titans of Industry where webring in a CEO guest who is a dominating force or leader in their respectiveindustry.

In this extra special Titans of Industry episode, we are joined by Julia Spillman, the CEO of the famed Eklund|Gomes Team, the first superbroker real estate team in the US, with a record two billion in real estate transactions in 2019 alone. The founders of Eklund|Gomes are Fredrik Eklund, the star of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing New York and his business partner/co-founder John Gomes.  Julia joins the Buildify Method podcast team to talk about hard conversations, the less glamorous side of being at the top, and much more in “Behind The Scenes Of A Top CEO”.

All business owners, founders, and

CEO’s are tasked with having the ‘hard’ conversations at their organization. Hardconversations with key staff, sales conversations, money conversations, evenhard conversations with customers. Having a tough conversation takes guts, steadiness,and heart. In this episode we discuss all this in detail.  

We also talk about what it takes to

be a top CEO. The shiny allure of being a CEO is peeled back to reveal the personaland professional sacrifices we must make to achieve success, and eventuallybalance, both professionally and personally.  

This episode will give insight into the failures and

successes that Aaron, Ryan, & Julia have shared experience in as well as whatthey have learned from decades in the CEO chair.

The Buildify Method is the best podcast covering business

and is made for CEO’s, entrepreneurs, and business owners looking to gainactionable knowledge of how to better own and operate a successful company.
