Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week, I’m eager to share an entertaining yet highly insightful conversation with Dave Liniger.
Dave co-founded RE/MAX, the Denver-based global real estate franchise, with his wife, Gail, in 1973. Since its founding, RE/MAX has become the leading franchisor of real estate offices worldwide and has expanded to over 9,000 offices in 110 countries with 140,000 sales agents. Even though Dave retired from a CEO position in 2018, he continues to lead the network as Chairman of the Board. He is also a New York Times bestselling author of a book called My Next Step: An Extraordinary Journey of Healing and Hope. It was a remarkable memoir chronicling his triumphant battle against a life-altering medical diagnosis. But he's also the author of a new book that come out in March of 2024 called The Perfect Ten.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone who wants to learn from a successful and seasoned leader.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE… in our conversation, Dave recounts his journey of building RE/MAX, the leading global real estate franchise. As he reflects on the past 50 years, he presents lessons for every listener, from how to forge a new path in an industry to hiring the right people and leading them well.
Key takeaways:
- Often, the reason we fail is not that we’re bad at something but that we don’t have a goal.
- From single parents to community leaders, we all have areas of influence.
- Connecting with leaders outside your industry will teach you things you’ll never figure out independently.
WHAT I LOVE MOST… you might be surprised to hear that Dave spent 10 years as a NASCAR driver and didn’t start racing until his 50s! He is proof that it’s never too late to explore a different path.
