The guests will range from real estate entrepreneurs, REI experts, Business Coaches, CRM Owners, Start-up Founders and more. Jordan’s many years in the business makes for a deep network and an REI Star-studded lineup!

Jordan Fleming:
Hey, everybody, and welcome to the That Real Estate Tech Guy Podcast. I’m the host of the podcast, Jordan Fleming, and also the CEO of smrtPhone. So why this podcast and why this subject matter? Well, simply put, it’s something A) I’m passionate about, and B) I feel isn’t talked enough about in the real estate investment community. It’s something that’s almost treated as a side bit by a lot of people… they use it, they know they need it, but they don’t really understand how powerful it can be. Of course, there’s exceptions, but I feel across the industry, we need more discussions around the different types of technologies. And that’s really the impetus behind this podcast. I have myself personally been building technology for real estate companies for almost a decade now (probably a bit over that), and I have seen how impactful it can be. I’ve seen how important it is. But I’ve also watched people fail, I’ve watched people not be able to take up the technology properly. I’ve watched people try bits of technology and not getting to work. And I think we need more discussion around it, we need more opportunity for people to learn and see, and to be able to investigate different elements of technology across the real estate investment sector. And I think it’s gonna be a really fun time. So there are basically two types of guests that I’m going to have on the podcast. The first is the investors themselves, I’m going to be speaking to real estate investors of all shapes and sizes. But all of them have been successful and growing and scaling their real estate businesses. And they’re going to share not just their success stories, but also their failures around technology, they’re going to talk about their journey into understanding the different parts of technology they use in their business where they have used, they’re going to talk about how they found it, how they got involved with it, how they’ve found implementing into their teams. You’re gonna get to hear from real investors, just like you, and learn from their stories. Now, the second type of guests that we’re going to have on the podcast, are the technology companies themselves. Now, of course, I’m the CEO of smrtPhone and you know, smrtPhone is my baby, it’s my love. And you know it’s a phone system and power dialer used by 1000s of real estate investors across the country. But we’re going to be talking to all manner of technology companies. We’re going to be talking, bringing them in having them discuss their products, getting an opportunity to, you know, learn a bit about how people use it, learn about their journey, learn about some key functions people may not know about. I’ll probably be getting, you know, different technology providers together on group podcasts where you know, maybe we can get three or four CRM providers together and do a group podcast, we can discuss the different parts around real estate investment CRMs as a group, and that gives you guys a fantastic insight. And of course, as we develop the relationships with these technology providers, we’re going to be bringing all those resources together in the that real estate tech guy.com website so that you have kind of a one stop shop of places, you can see all the different bits of technology, accessing discounts, if they’re providing any for our listeners, and really use it as a resource to scale up your business. So I’m super excited about doing this. I’m excited about meeting all the different investors and the different technology partners, learning about their products. I’m gonna learn something every podcast and I hope you do too. And of course, you can do me one great favour, which is go to YouTube and your podcast channels. Hit that Like/Subscribe button… give the review on the podcast, it really does help lift it up the ratings so that we can get it to more real estate investors and they can benefit from it. It’s a new podcast right now..that means it needs your help. And of course, if you are an investor or technology provider, and you want to come on the show, just head to the website, you’ll see in the top right hand corner that there is have a button to book onto the show, and my team will get in touch with you.
