The real estate industry is the last industry to undergo digital transformation. A lot of the services are completely fragmented, involving people, tools, technology, services, and a tremendous amount of regulatory oversight. This has forced various companies to innovate parts of the ecosystem but nobody has been able to build a unified solution. Because of this, the consumer still has an extremely disjointed, fragmented, and frustrating experience trying to bring all of these pieces together from the start to finish of a real estate transaction. The idea of a super app is a futuristic concept that allows for the WeChat-ification or Amazon-ification of the experience, where the consumer is able to have a smooth and seamless experience, while the app/company is able to manage all the disjointed pieces behind the scenes. We call this “The SuperApp” or the real estate holy grail. We believe that the quest for this holy grail will drive new innovation, challenge existing beliefs, battle-test traditional assumptions, and force the reimagining of real estate as it has never been done before. The goal of this podcast is to explore the practical side of how this is going to happen at the intersection of consumer psychology, technological innovation, and real estate advisory.
Imagine building a company from scratch, scaling it nationwide, and selling it for millions—all while harnessing the power of AI. Marc Lafleur did just that, and in this episode, he shares how founders can leverage AI to create the future of business.
In this episode, hosts Sharran and Pritesh sit down with Marc Lafleur, the visionary behind truLOCAL. Marc co-founded truLOCAL, scaled it into a nationwide success, and ultimately sold it for $16.8 million. He detailed everything in his book True Founder: What No One Else Has the Guts to Teach You About Starting Your First Business.
The discussion delves into how founders can navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Marc offers actionable insights on leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to supercharge marketing and distribution efforts. As someone who successfully scaled his company and authored a book about the experience, Marc provides a unique perspective on building a business in the AI era.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting, this conversation offers valuable advice on how to think about product development in a world driven by AI innovation.
“If someone came into business today without having to come up with AI and just saw, “Hey, this exists,” I think they would have such a significant advantage over any of us who have our preconceived notions about how products work, how to use products for business–any of that. Because what AI is doing is fundamentally forcing us to start from scratch.”
