What if the secret to unforgettable client and partner relationships is how (and when) you give—not what you spend?
In this episode, I break down how to give referral and client gifts that actually land. Not the generic gift basket or logo mug—but thoughtful, timely gestures that create real emotional impact.
Inspired by a story of one realtor’s donut drop that led to a $1M+ client, we dive into how to make your gifts hit different—plus what to avoid if you want your gesture to be remembered, not ignored.
What We Will Cover:
- Specific, Unexpected, and Timely – The 3 rules that turn a generic gift into a powerful impression.
- The Donut Story – How one agent used a podcast, a donut shop, and perfect timing to win a dream client.
- Giftology Principles – What the best givers do differently—and why it’s not about spending more.
- What Not to Do – The 3 most common gift mistakes brokers make (and how to avoid them).
- Real Broker Examples – A $20 Hawaii book and a pair of fuzzy handcuffs—why they worked, and what they teach.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
