16. Behind the Scenes of a Top CEO with Julia Spillman, CEO of the Eklund|Gomes Team at Douglas Elliman
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 we
bring in a CEO guest who is a dominating force or leader in their respective
industry.
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. Hard
conversations with key staff, sales conversations, money conversations, even
hard 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 personal
and professional sacrifices we must make to achieve success, and eventually
balance, 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 what
they 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 gain
actionable knowledge of how to better own and operate a successful company.
