This video is a good analogy to the brokerage industry and why it will always be about relationships, regardless of how much technology you pump into it.
Matt Higgins and Gary Vaynerchuk talk about betting on the jockey not the idea.
The operator of the idea or person driving the ship matters more than the business itself.
Who's calling the shots?
Who's managing your freight?
What's their long-term vision?
How to they handle adversity?
How do they coach or train their people internally?
How do they problem solve?
What's their customer service like?
There are intangibles and decisions made by people that will always be a factor inside a brokerage.
The quality of those decisions matter significantly to your end results.

Bet on the jockey.
Yes, it’s such a cliche - but cliche for a reason. They’re usually true and they’re meant to save you time and pain from having to relive someone else’s failure.
So what makes a good jockey?
1 - over index for self awareness so they self-scout and course correct before it’s too late.
2 - over index for humility so they remain intellectually curious about what they don’t know.
3 - inevitability. The universe put them on this earth to do THIS thing and they will not be defeated because it is predestined.

Great post, Matt! I completely agree with you - cliches often hold some truth to them. Betting on the jockey is indeed a wise move when it comes to decision-making. You've highlighted some key qualities that make a good jockey, such as self-awareness and humility. These traits allow them to continuously self-scout and learn from their mistakes, avoiding potential pitfalls.
In addition, the concept of inevitability is intriguing. When someone feels a deep calling towards a particular path or purpose, it can be incredibly powerful. The unwavering determination that comes from this sense of predestination can push individuals to overcome any obstacles in their way.
Thank you for sharing these insights! It's always valuable to gain new perspectives on success and leadership.

📣 Very interesting point of view from Tom Hunt. We are curios to understand what do you think about? ⬇️
Your team members are not your family.
Families:
- Don't get paid to perform
- Don’t get shut down if they underperform
You can't leave your family "as it's time to move on".
You are a sports team:
- Where everyone has to pull their weight
- Trying to win in the never-ending competition of business
So if your current or future employer gives the "we're a family" BS.
Run. And join a team.
