As we celebrate "Live Long and Prosper Day" on March 26th, I'm reminded of another Mr. Spock quote that relates to the evolution of my role with CRDN of Central PA & Northern Pittsburgh. As I delve more into scoping claims (along with the continued development of current and potential partners) and less into the process and physical labor side of claims, I am quickly solidifying the notion in my head that "Knowledge is Power". The more information that I can gather and relay to our team will result in a more efficient and "clean" packout. This leads to less of a need for communication between the first responder and packout team while on site, which allows everyone to fully focus on their task at hand for the day. Ultimately, the greatest benefit to gathering all the facts necessary from the start is that we will undoubtedly be performing in the exact manner requested by, or communicated to, our homeowner. That's the biggest win for everyone involved. #crdn #restorationservices #restorationexperts #contentsrestoration

How to make changes to the deadwood staffs and convert them to be assets to any entity?!!! Please share your experiences

This spring I had a BLAST giving tech tips as an emcee at a staff safety briefing at Boston College. But they taught me more than I taught them. The program had three speakers who gave presentations about campus safety to the facility staff. Between 6am and 6pm, we did it three times: once for each shift. One speaker shared what to do in case of an active shooter on campus. I learned: 🚪 How to use a chair, zip tie, stacked furniture and more to secure a door. (put legs of the chair between door handles, zip tie the mechanical door hinge, stack furniture from one wall to the door so there's more to brace...) 👮♀ What to do when police come through an area where you are hiding/waiting. (Show them your empty hands, wait for instructions, don't get upset if they don't attend to victims while they are searching...) 🏃♂️ Don't confront the shooter at all or try to get them to see the logic. Run as far away as possible. But by far the most impactful lesson came from this video: https://lnkd.in/e2hmA-za Please watch it. No matter your politics, it has an amazing message.

The service tech ran some water on the dried poop, grabbed it with his bare hand, and shoved it back down the drain. Welcome to real estate investing, Drew. This was back in 2005 when I was just getting started as an investor. The sewer was backed up. I had no idea what to do. (But I did have a lot of stress.) I ended up calling Roto-Rooter to come fix it. And that’s when the service tech showed me what elbow grease really meant. But it didn't end there. At the same property, a raccoon got loose in the attic, so I called an exterminator. What did he do? He went up to the attic and went 1 vs. 1 against the raccoon. Hand-to-paw combat. He caught the raccoon and went on with his day. Over the years, I’ve had a lot of “Welcome to real estate investing” moments. It's a crazy business. What was your first "Welcome to real estate investing" moment?

Lakshmi Odedra, GSM Class of 2023, talking about the Gerry Spence Method 3-Week Program at Thunderhead Ranch, saying, "Really, what this program is about, is working on yourself." Encapsulating her experience at Thunderhead Ranch, Lakshmi says, "How the days work out, is, get jumping on our feet, and then in the afternoons and evenings, we break out in small groups and practice what we just learned. Towards the end of the three weeks, we put on our own trial, and it's a great way to experiment and try new things that you don't really get to try elsewhere." There is only one program for trial attorneys looking to better themselves within every facet of their life.
