Mastering the Art of Success Hosted by Debbi DiMaggio

Award Winning Author Jeff C West on Storytelling for Success

In this powerful episode of Mastering the Art of Success, host Debbi DiMaggio sits down with acclaimed author, sales leader, and master storyteller Jeff C. West — and yes, don’t forget the “C,” or you’ll miss the Jeff West. Introduced to Debbi by the legendary Bob Burg, Jeff brings wisdom, humor, authenticity, and decades of sales leadership into a conversation that moves from the dirt roads of North Georgia to award-winning books, multimillion-dollar sales teams, and life-changing mindset breakthroughs.

Jeff is the bestselling author of business parables including The Unexpected Tour Guide, Said the Lady with the Blue Hair (with Lisa M. Wilber), Streetwise to Saleswise (with Bob Burg), and his latest hit, The Hidden Heist: Stop Robbing Yourself of Lasting Wealth (with Bill Cates) — described as “a Netflix thriller meets the only money guide you’ll ever need.”

Together, Debbi and Jeff explore:

✨ How a single book — Bob Burg’s Endless Referrals — completely transformed Jeff’s sales career

✨ The mindset shift that took him from struggling in a mobile home to leading teams generating over $150M in revenue

✨ Why persistence isn’t just a skill — it’s a survival tool

✨ The origin of Jeff’s groundbreaking concept, Fusion Points®, and how emotional connection drives human decision-making

✨ The power of storytelling in business, authorship, real estate, and leadership ✨ How to uncover a true value proposition — and why most people get it wrong

✨ Why focusing on others is the real secret to influence and long-term success Jeff’s journey—from musician to salesman to bestselling author—is filled with humor, humility, hard-earned lessons, and deeply human moments that will resonate with anyone building a business, reinventing themselves, or navigating life’s pivots.

He also shares a special gift for listeners:

Get ready, because today’s guest is an absolute powerhouse in the real estate and entrepreneurial space.

At just 24 years old, Kobe Xin has already built a career that defies traditional timelines.

He earned his real estate license at only 18, and within his first year was ranked a Top 3% Influencer out of 90,000 agents at eXp Realty, instantly putting him on the radar as one of the industry’s rising stars.

But Kobe didn’t just build a business — he built a movement.

Today, he leads the Wolfpack Nfinite Organization, an international real estate network of more than 70 agents and leaders across five countries and four continents.

And in 2022, Kobe expanded his reach even further with the launch of the FLA Podcast (Freedom Lifestyle Accelerator) — a show where he interviews top entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world to uncover the tools, stories, and habits behind building a life you never need a vacation from.

His listeners know him for his energy, his authenticity, and his commitment to helping people think bigger.

Kobe brings unstoppable drive, a global vision, and a fresh voice to the next generation of entrepreneurs — and today, he’s here to share the mindset, momentum, and mission behind his rapid rise.

Tall, Thin, and Zero-Carbon: How Architect Kevin Kennon Rethinks Cities, Cliffs and Resorts

Architectural ingenuity meets sustainability.

In this episode of Mastering the Art of Success, host Debbi DiMaggio sits down with New York–based architect Kevin Kennon (also searched as “Kevin Kennan” and "Paul Kevin Kennon"), founder and CEO of Beyond Zero DDC, Inc., to explore zero-carbon luxury eco-resorts, tall-slender towers, and the art of designing with—rather than against—nature. Kennon (United Architects finalist for the World Trade Center competition, with works in the MoMA collection) unpacks the engineering behind tall, slender buildings; how helical piles create light-footprint structures on rugged terrain; and the human-centric details that separate a “very good” hotel from a truly great one.

We also touch on projects such as Barclays’ North American HQ, the Rodin Museum in Seoul, award-winning Bloomingdale’s retail work, and why service design is the hidden engine of hospitality.

Top Takeaways

Design with the land, not against it: Why elevating structures on helical piles reduces earthwork, risk, and long-term maintenance—especially on cliffs and steep sites.

Tall-slender towers 101: How engineering + architecture collaborate to make ultra-slim skyscrapers safe and elegant.

Sustainability as standard: Zero-carbon thinking isn’t a trend for Kennon—it’s part of the architect’s core toolkit.

Hospitality that hums: The subtle service systems (and spatial planning) that make luxury hotels feel effortless.

Distributed practice and AI: Lessons from remote collaboration and how technology is reshaping the profession.

Inside NYC Real Estate Law with Michael Romer from Co-ops to Condos and The Importance of Due Diligence

Step inside New York City real estate law with attorney Michael Romer, co-founder and managing partner of Romer Debbas LLP, the city’s largest residential real estate law practice.

 

Host Debbi DiMaggio digs into how NYC deals really get done—from co-ops vs. condos and board approvals to due diligence, timelines, legal fees, and the surprising challenges of “friends & family” transactions.

 

We also cover Hamptons nuances (COs, zoning, flood/waterfront issues), rent stabilization/affordability, and Michael’s career and mindset advice.

 

Listen for: actionable guidance buyers, sellers, agents, and investors can use today—plus how to avoid costly surprises before you sign.

Key Takeaways

 

NYC diligence first, then contract.

 

Buyer’s counsel reviews financials, minutes, offering plans, bylaws, COs—before signing. Co-ops ≠ condos.

 

Co-ops favor primary residence/strong finances; condos are more flexible for investors and resales.

 

Board approval can decide the deal.

 

Expect document-heavy packages and possible interviews (mostly co-ops).

 

Watch carrying costs and assessments.

 

Ask about capital projects, litigation, reserves, and per-unit exposure. Timelines vary. Cash often closes ~45–60 days; financing ~60–90, plus board approval.

 

Hamptons ≠ Manhattan. Local CO/zoning, waterfront/flood, and survey/easement nuances matter.

 

Pay for expertise. Seasoned counsel may cost more up front but can save multiples by avoiding surprises.

 

What part of the NYC process surprised you most—board approvals, assessments, or the diligence before contract?
