My personal brand is what people say about me when I'm not in the room.

What would they say about you?

Or would they say anything?

You know, some people don't have a personal brand at all, so they'd be like,

if your name came up, nothing happened.

There's no association, there's no style, there's no nothing there

versus like the more things they know about you and can associate you with those

feelings or things, that becomes your brand. Oh, Hey everybody what's up on this

on this podcast I'm talking to my buddy Neil Dingra who I met many many years ago I think

it was pre- Pandemic we met in. He did something very unusual and he has a very

non-traditional, non-conventional way of thinking and I want to tap into his brain how he built his

personal brand, how he's able to create an event from nothing and

build a really engaged and pretty amazing community of people in the real estate,

mortgage, finance space and it's pretty neat to see.

Neil, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me, Chris.

Appreciate it.

For people who don't know who you are, can you please introduce yourself

and tell us a little story about how you got here?

My name's Neil. My brand is Neil Home. And so a lot of people think that's my last name and last name is Dingra but I started off in the real estate and mortgage industry just putting out content to build a personal brand, grow, try and get more clients, honestly, just get more business.

And it ended up taking off and my business quadrupled over a four-year period, I was able to kind of

reach the heights of my industry and do really well but along the way a lot of people within the industry and within you know even adjacent industry started reaching out to me and say hey Neil Neil, could you come speak at my thing?
