Sector 5 Digital’s Post

When I embarked on the journey with Melanoid Exchange, our mission was clear: to help businesses showcase their products to the world. As time passed and we evolved, our mission transformed into something truly remarkable – empowering businesses to unleash their creativity and immerse their customers in a world of endless possibilities. Now, we're taking the next giant leap. We're about to redefine the way brands connect with their audiences, bridging the gap between the in-store shopping experience and the digital realm using the power of virtual reality. A great leader knows the importance of having the right people on the team, and that's exactly what I'm celebrating today. Effective immediately, I'm humbled to step down from the role of CEO at mel x and embrace my new journey as the Chief Marketing Officer. While I have the utmost confidence in my capabilities as a leader, I believe it's time for someone exceptional to take the reins and lead us to the promised land. That someone is Darsha Ham and I couldn't be more excited about the future under her guidance. But wait, there's more exciting news! I'm thrilled to introduce Dawn E Robinson, MBA, who is joining us on this incredible journey as our Chief Operating Officer. Dawn is not only a seasoned VR professional but also a remarkable, down-to-earth soul with over 12 years of experience in business development and operations. Together, we stand at the threshold of a thrilling future. Our goal? To bring the online shopping experience to life, to blur the lines between the real and the virtual, and to pave the way for the mass adoption of virtual reality in the years to come. The adventure continues, and I can't wait to see what unfolds. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and here's to the remarkable future ahead. 🚀✨ #MelanoidExchange #VirtualReality #Innovation #Leadership

Taking two steps forward might require taking one step back. In other words, #growth doesn’t always look like growth. In this conversation with Marcus Larrea, Co-Founder of Stellar Medical and Founder and Team Leader of Palm Paradise Realty Group, you’ll get a few very specific examples - including ways he protected agents, clients, and staff by creating and communicating calm even amid chaos. Marcus shares several marketing and operations ideas that he learned through R&D - which means “rip off and deploy” as much as research and development. Gamifying standards and performance, improving every agent’s social media presence, effectively leveraging your first hire - get all that and more here in Episode 031, which we recorded together in person at the Pendry Hotels & Resorts in San Diego. Watch or listen to this episode of Real Estate Team OS to learn with Marcus: - Ways to create a competitive edge - The path from co-founder of an FDA-certified medical device manufacturer, to licensed agent, to #realestateteam leader - Why “swiping a credit card” to buy online leads and reinvesting 100% of commissions back into more leads worked for him but wouldn’t work today - Why he committed to the team #businessmodel and how it helps clients and agents alike - Who his first two hires were and how they provided a foundation for the team - Their process for the team and their agents to produce more social media engagement - PARADISE as core values - How to protect your staff, agents, and clients from chaos and why “what you don’t know doesn’t hurt you, as long as it doesn’t affect you” - How he ramped down personal production to commit to a leadership role - Why “growth doesn’t always look like growth” and three examples of taking a step back before moving forward again - How they gamify team standards and create more agent success - A few systems and tools that have been critical to their success - from SOPs to Cloud CMA At the end, Marcus talks Florida Gators and travel soccer, an underused VR headset and an indulgent “shoe thing,” and work as a series of sprints then anticipated breaks.
