J.R. Martinez is an Army veteran and burn survivor turned inspirational speaker and author. While deployed in Iraq in the wake of 9/11, J.R.’s humvee hit a roadside bomb, ejecting the other troops and trapping him inside the burning vehicle. In those horrifying moments, this resilient warrior thought of his immigrant mother who taught him what it means to use difficult situations as opportunities. J.R. awoke in the burn unit at a hospital in Texas where he would undergo many painful surgeries and begin the long road to recovery.
Growing up with a single mother who did not know English and had no more than a third grade education, J.R. struggled through school, bullying and the challenges of poverty. His dream was to play football in the NFL, but life had other plans for him. Instead of playing football, he enlisted in the Army after graduation because he wanted to serve his country. Even at a young age, J.R. felt immense gratitude for everything that was available to him in the United States. Those early years of persevering through difficulties were preparing him to blaze his own path in the future instead of allowing tragedy to overwhelm him. Now he travels the country sharing his inspiring story and encouraging others that success begins with an unwavering mindset. Believing we have the power to face adversity and use it to fuel our dreams is the biggest legacy J.R. is passing on to his family and his audience.

Dave Liniger shares hard-won wisdom and practical strategies for using competition to boost your business. In this episode, he tells the little known story about a lawsuit that threatened to destroy RE/MAX in its early years. Because RE/MAX was a rapidly growing change agent in the real estate industry, they became a target for their competition. A competing real estate company attempted to sue the company over bogus claims, which the jury recognized. They overwhelmingly decided in favor of RE/MAX. But not before six months had passed in litigation, during which time the other company hoped to bankrupt RE/MAX with legal fees. Once Dave and RE/MAX won the trial, he used the experience of being targeted to his advantage.
As Dave grew into an icon in his industry, he began using ethically sourced intelligence about his competition as an important foundation for growth. He recommends gathering information on your top competitors’ strengths and weaknesses and using it to build your company’s growth benchmark. Another great way to outperform your competitors is by harnessing the most important resource already available to you— your employees. Those who work in the field have a unique perspective on specific challenges and can offer specialized insights. Finally, the best approach to staying ahead of the competition is by taking small steps on a consistent basis towards your goals. This allows for adaptability and constant reflection throughout the evolution of your business. And remember— if you’re a target, that probably means you’re doing something right.

From decades of wisdom forged in the fire of trial and error, Dave shares practical tips for building strong teams within an organization. One of the greatest challenges business owners face in today’s market is employee retention.
The first and most important step to creating a successful team is the hiring process. During the interview, it is important to ask questions about previous places of employment and how long they worked there. Not everyone is a service-oriented superstar, so if one such person shows up for an interview, it’s beneficial to spend extra money hiring a strong employee.
Diversity and inclusion are also priorities when building a team. It’s not enough to simply meet a quota; people need to feel connected. Feeling like part of a team is correlated with higher retention rates and employee satisfaction. Offer consistent gratitude and appreciation for all team members.
And finally, the best way to fine-tune team building leadership is by asking for honest feedback from employees who leave the company. As Dave leads by example, the best way to keep people happy at work is by getting to know them personally and investing in those important relationships.
Main Topics
Retention starts with the hiring process (01:15)Three categories of employees (02:18)Building a diverse workforce through inclusion (05:50)Communicating to an employee that they’re important (07:25)Employees are motivated by being part of a team (11:30)Ask for feedback when people leave the company (14:50)Leadership begins with building relationships (17:50)Episode Links

Since opening her first dance studio at age 20, Misty Lown has grown into a powerful leader, author and philanthropist in the global dance community through her tenacious determination. When her path crossed with Dave’s at a conference many years ago, he observed her passion and preparedness and knew she was someone worth investing in. Thus began Dave and Misty’s mentorship, which bloomed into a beautiful friendship built on mutual respect and inspiration.
When Misty pursued her dream of running her own dance studio instead of studying in New York to become a professional dancer, people thought she was crazy to pass up the opportunity. But she understood her calling even though she didn’t have the knowledge or skills required to be successful in business at the time. Recognizing those gaps motivated her to conduct her own investigation and learn from experts in the field. Now she works with studios all over the world, providing them with training resources and growth models that make the power of dance accessible for thousands of young people.

When Dave Liniger founded RE/MAX in the early 1970s, the statistics of women attending college and seeking professional jobs outside the home were just beginning to increase. The real estate industry was traditionally an “old boys club” run by older men who were resistant to change. Women were not easily welcomed into sales and had to fight for opportunities to prove themselves equal to their male counterparts. RE/MAX was an early pioneer for providing equal employment opportunities for women, largely impacted by the leadership skills of Dave’s wife, Gail.
Today, Dave has been influential in growing the percentage of women at the executive level. He has served on committees that provide education about the benefits of placing women in leadership positions, such as a typically more inclusive and personal leadership style. Transitioning away from the traditional militaristic approach to management increases productivity and retention rates. Placing well-qualified women in leadership roles is imperative to the success of any company, and Dave is hopeful about the changes he’s witnessed over the past several decades. As men and women work together to shatter the glass ceiling, we build a better future with more equity and inclusion in the workforce.
