Harcourts leaders launch podcast on business planning and data

Harcourts International has launched a new podcast, Guys in Ties, bringing together Managing Director Mike Green and Head of Data & Analytics Nick Jewitt for conversations on leadership, data and business growth in real estate.

The series opens with a two-part episode, Why You Need a Business Plan!, looking at why long-term success comes down to discipline, consistency and preparation rather than motivation alone.

A third episode, The Data is in the Details!, turns to the growing role data plays in helping real estate professionals make business decisions.

Mr Jewitt said the podcast was built to share honest, usable conversations rather than polished advice.

“We wanted Guys in Ties to feel like the conversations people have after the meeting, not during it,” he said.

“There are plenty of podcasts telling people what they should do. We wanted to talk honestly about what we’ve learnt through experience, what’s worked, what hasn’t, and why consistency still beats quick fixes.”

Mr Green said the series reflected a view that leadership is built through ongoing learning and open conversation.

“Real estate is an industry built on people, relationships and trust,” he said.

“The best leaders never stop learning, and they aren’t afraid to share their experiences – the successes as well as the setbacks. If these conversations help someone improve their business, become a better leader or simply think differently about the way they work, then we’ve achieved exactly what we set out to do.”

More episodes have already been recorded, with future topics set to include leadership, culture, performance, business planning and data, aimed at business owners, sales consultants and property managers across the Harcourts network and the wider industry.

The first three episodes of Guys in Ties are available now on YouTube and Spotify.
