    Guest: Jason Abrams (Host of the MREA Podcast)

    Description: This episode is FIRE and unlike anything we’ve shared before!

    Michael Maher recently sat down with Jason Abrams on the MREA Podcast—and it was so good, we had to bring the first half of it straight to Referrals Podcast listeners.

    In this power-packed conversation, Michael reveals his biggest takeaway from Gary Keller’s Millionaire Real Estate Agent (MREA) book—and how it transformed the way he builds his business through referrals. He also breaks down how to make meaningful connections at networking events without wasting a single minute, and introduces a concept that will change the way you host and attend events: the difference between “I” events, “we” events, and “they” events.
