  • 12:00 - Why the common thread was to invest
  • 12:15 - Most people in real estate have a job and just think of it as work, but businesspeople think about investments and creating freedom

  • 19:45 - Another CSIRE story
  • 19:50 - His wife was breastfeeding his son so when he went to a listing presentation where a woman had a newborn, he could tell she was “full of milk”

  • 21:05 - He tried to backpedal, but it was too late
  • 22:15 - On brokerages and teams
  • 22:25 - Brokerages can accept and support teams instead of viewing them as a threat; sometimes they just don’t know how to support

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
