The Brad Weisman Show

Our Guest this week is Pete HeimA national headline won’t tell you why locally we climbed 5.7% while the U.S. barely cleared 2.1%—but we will. We unpack the real numbers behind 2025’s housing market, spotlight the Northeast’s outsized role, and share what those trends mean for smarter decisions in 2026. From absorption near a month to a 23-day local average time on market, the signals point to a tight, resilient region where pricing strategy and product quality matter more than ever.We also dig into the gap between seller expectations and reality. 8 out of 10 sellers think they’ll get over asking, but only 1 in 4 do—because price still sets the stage. With rates hovering near the low 6's and the long-term average near 7.7%, the “lock-in” freeze is thawing as life events push more owners to list. If mortgage rates slip under 6%, expect a wave of new inventory, better choice for buyers, and calmer, sustainable appreciation in the 3% to 4% range locally.City markets remain pocketed and unpredictable: million-dollar rowhomes draw multiple offers in the right blocks while similar-price properties stall a few neighborhoods away. We explore how micro location, condition, and policy shape outcomes, from proposed rent caps in New York City to on-the-ground redevelopment stories like the Exeter Promenade. The through-line is clear: local economics and property rights guide investment, pricing, and timing far more than national averages do.Want the edge for 2026? Use clean pricing, strong prep; watch neighborhood data, not just headlines; and track how rates and policy shifts could open or close windows.

Ready for a reframe that actually changes how you lead? We sit down with transformational coach Dan Tocchini to unpack why conflict isn’t a detour from progress but the most reliable road to it. From the first moment you commit to a bold outcome, resistance appears. Dan shows how to meet that resistance with clear aims, better questions, and conversations that create alignment instead of drama.We dive into the mindset shift that turns breakdowns into breakthroughs. Rather than fall into blame, shame, or chasing credit, Dan walks us through a simple operating system: accept the results your system produces, then ask what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing for the future you’re committed to. We also explore how to argue well. You’ll learn to slow down, surface premises, avoid logical traps, and take the other person’s side so well they nod. That’s how teams get smarter fast.When defensiveness spikes, Dan offers a disarming move: ask what could be true in what they’re saying. Pair that with honest speech—naming what’s real for you now—and you speed up the path to truth and trust. We round out with The Change Imperative, Dan’s practical framework for leading transitions: identify natural influencers, win the fence-sitters, engage the levelers, and expect turbulence before lift. If you want meetings with less heat and more light, this one’s a playbook.Grab Dan’s free ebook “The Change Imperative” at takenewground.com, then tell us your biggest takeaway.

The Weisman Family Christmas with Brad, Jess, Catherine and CarsonThe room is buzzing before the mics even warm up—tree debates, cookie takes, and the joyful chaos that only a family Christmas special can deliver. We invite you into our living room as we swap stories about real trees versus fake, the power of a good holiday soundtrack, and why Christmas Eve still hits like magic. If you’ve ever argued over which movie starts the season or whether peppermint deserves a permanent spot in the freezer, you’ll feel right at home.We move from traditions to taste—Plow Farms popcorn while picking the tree, the Colors of Christmas album during decorating, and Andrea Bocelli on repeat when the house finally quiets. The kids put in their votes for advent calendars, school news segments, and those TastyKake cookies that somehow disappear faster than the beef and lobster on Christmas Day. We revisit the greatest gifts—PS5s and Starter Jackets, Ataris and Pianos—and consider what rising wish lists say about what we value now: time, tools, and the chance to make something together. There’s even a hopeful plea for a 3D printer, because creativity is a gift that keeps giving.Beyond the fun, we sit with what matters most: gratitude for health, faith that centers the season, and the steady warmth of being together. Not everyone gets these moments, and that awareness deepens the meaning of the ones we do have. From Christmas Vacation and Elf to Carol of the Bells and the Post-Thanksgiving music rule, this is a cheerful, honest snapshot of a family finding rhythm, laughter, and purpose in December.If this episode made you smile, tap follow, share it with someone who loves the holidays, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

This Week's Guest, Bogdan Micov, says what if POWER didn’t feel like a sprint, a grind, or a clenched jaw? We sit down with transformation expert Bogdan Micov to unpack calm power—the inner state where real performance lives. Instead of pushing harder and burning out, Bogdan shows how clarity, presence, and responsibility create leverage that force never can.We trace results back to behavior, behavior back to emotional state, and emotional state back to meaning-making. Thoughts are neutral until your filters—deletion, distortion, and generalization—assign a story. Change the story and the chemistry changes too. Bogdan walks us through practical reframes you can use in real time, like turning road rage into curiosity by recognizing “I don’t know what I don’t know.” The payoff is immediate: less cortisol, more choice, better decisions. He also explains why common coping tactics can soothe but rarely stick, and why deletion—removing stored emotional charge and unhelpful beliefs—creates permanent freedom.Bogdan’s method was forged after a stroke at 33 forced a full-life reset. He left high-pressure hospitality leadership and immersed in NLP, hypnosis, timeline and parts work, cognitive-behavioral science, and breath traditions from Hawaii and Tibetan practice. The result is the Be Relentless method, built to locate and clear root causes fast so high performers, entrepreneurs, and leaders can execute without the emotional drag. We dig into language as a performance tool—why saying “not easy” beats “hard,” and how calling stress a verb (stressing) puts you back in the driver’s seat.If you’re ready to stop stacking hacks and start removing what’s in the way, this conversation will give you a clear map: take responsibility for meaning, interrupt the old strategy, and remember who you were before you forgot.

Guest: Pete HeimEver notice how a deal can feel perfect on paper and still fall apart in real life? We dig into the blind spot almost no one talks about: when buyers or sellers hit personal turbulence and go quiet, negotiations get weird, deadlines slip, and good offers sour. We make the case for smart transparency—sharing just enough context with your agent to turn emotion into a practical plan, earn patience from the other side, and keep the closing on track without oversharing.From there, we widen to the places that shape our neighborhoods. Malls that once delivered large department stores (called Anchors), food courts, and seasonal buzz now struggle to offer compelling experiences. Our Berkshire story fits a national pattern: fewer anchors, thinner tenant mix, minimal dining. Yet there’s a twist of hope nearby—a major hotel property under new ownership aiming to reboot with fitness, events, a pub and grill, and a big-name coffee partner. It’s a case study in adaptive reuse and a signal that mixed-use destinations with daily utility can revive foot traffic where traditional retail fades.We also break down the housing data you can actually use. Median days on market nationally have normalized, while some local markets still move fast. Price trends split by region: steady gains across parts of the Northeast and Midwest, softer spots where inventory surged in recent boomtowns. Expect slow-and-steady equity growth—about three percent annually over five years—translating to roughly $61,000 in potential wealth on a $400,000 home. With mortgage rates hovering in the mid-6s, we talk refi math, locks, and how increased inventory and a 1.6-month absorption rate in steady counties can give buyers room to breathe without sinking sellers’ expectations.If you want grounded strategy, not hype, this one’s for you: communicate early, price with the market, and let data guide while empathy closes. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s house hunting or listing soon, and leave a review with your biggest surprise from the trends we covered.Hi This is Brad Weisman - Click Here to Send Me a Text Message Comfort Pro, IncFamily-Owned and Operated Heating, Air Conditioning, and Geothermal Contractors, Since 2001Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
