It's about the art of the deal, the power of reputation and why the best investments are ultimately made in people.Whether you're a property professional, an entrepreneur or someone who believes that lasting success is built on relationships rather than transactions - this one is for you.EPISODE CREDITS:Host: Norman Raad (CEO, Broll Auctions and Sales)Guest: Jannie Krüger (Founder, Dorpstraat)Podcast Director: Codi Bentley (Multimedia Designer, Broll Auctions and Sales)Series Coordinator: Lesley Saunders (Head of Marketing, Broll Auctions and Sales)Marketing & Distribution: Hayleigh Kolbe (Marketing Assistant, Broll Auctions and Sales)Studio Production: Kevin Fanny (Multimedia, Broll Auctions and Sales)
