Thought Leaders – Real Estate Re-imagined (formerly The Elevate Podcast) Edge Case Debate: Should Million-Dollar Agents Get Special Treatment? Dom Thurbon vrs Fiona Blayney
We convinced two brilliant minds to argue opposite sides of one of the most controversial topics in real estate!
What happens when you take a commonly held belief in the industry and get two brilliant minds to defend positions they might not even believe? Welcome to EDGE CASE – where we test assumptions and expose what people REALLY think.
TODAY'S BIG QUESTION: "Do star agents deserve special treatment, even if it ruffles feathers?"
THE TWIST: They flipped a coin to decide who would argue which side. One of them is arguing AGAINST their actual beliefs. You won't know who until the "truth reveal" at 45:00.
IN THIS ROUND
Dom "The Dominator" Thurbon – World top 10 debater, sold his company to EY, PM One Conference MC.
Fiona Blayney – 30-year industry veteran who's pretty much seen it all, creator of PM One Conference.
WHY EDGE CASE EXISTS: We're here to challenge traditional thinking in an era of disruption and change. Each Edge Case episode takes a controversial statement that the industry whispers about but never properly debates. We convince brilliant minds to argue BOTH sides – expanding how we all think about the biggest challenges facing property. This is intellectual combat designed to make the entire industry smarter.
THE FORMAT:
Round 1: Opening arguments
Round 2: Cross-examination
Round 3: Evidence bombs
Round 4: Direct confrontation
Round 5: Rebuttals
Round 6: TRUTH REVEAL (they drop the act)
