WS1681: Revolutionizing Real Estate with NFT’S | Ori Ohayon
In this episode, our guest Ori Ohayon discusses the importance of the mantra "failure isn't final" and the resilience required to succeed in the NFT space. He talks about how he has failed many times in his life and career but has always gotten back up and kept going. Ohayon believes that mental resilience is crucial to success and that taking hits and being told no without giving up is essential. He also quotes Winston Churchill: "Success is what happens when you go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm." Ohayon emphasizes the importance of perseverance and the willingness to keep trying even in the face of setbacks.QuotesWould you anticipate that an ancillary effect of this would be to drop the cost of title insurance because it's going to be easier to ascertain what's on the title?We've created a straightforward business model that promotes adoption.Our business model is predicated on the fact that you can make that transition on an individual title basis cleaner, and smoother than a regular transaction leaving the title in the antiquated system.But because of that, I think it's got much more capacity for innovation.I think the biggest risk is going to be regulatory.It's at least five years before it even gets looked at on that scale.Success happens when you go from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://lifebridgecapital.com/Here are ways you can work with us here at Life Bridge Capital:⚡️START INVESTING TODAY: If you think that real estate syndication may be right for you, contact us today to learn more about our current investment opportunities: https://lifebridgecapital.com/investwithlbc⚡️Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheRealEstateSyndicationShow📝 JOIN THE DISCUSSIONhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/realestatesyndication➡️ FOLLOW UShttps://twitter.com/whitney_sewell https://www.instagram.com/whitneysewell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitney-sewell/ ⭐ Be Our Guest!We are continuously working hard to help our listeners with their journey to real estate syndication.
