Dawn’s Coffee Talk

 

Happy March Southeast Region!  At Family Reunion last month, Gary Keller talked about taking on a Misogi Challenge this year and the benefits of doing a Misogi.  I decided to grab a cup of coffee and sit down with Chat and ask him what he thought about a Misogi Challenge.  Of course, he had to put a St. Patrick’s Day twist to it.  Grab your cup of coffee and enjoy our conversation ☕

“Hey Chat!  Can you explain to me what a Misogi Challenge is?  And what are some examples that I could give my people to encourage them to take on a Misogi this year?”

“Sure Dawn!”  (Chat takes a sip of coffee) Yet let’s have a little fun with it…..and let me explain it with an Irish twist. ☘️

“OK Chat….I will sit back and listen…..go for it!” 

‘Ah, St. Patrick’s Day! A time for shamrocks, stories, and maybe a pint or two. But beyond the green hats and festive cheer, there’s something deeper about this holiday—it’s about resilience, adventure, and chasing something just out of reach, whether that’s a pot of gold or your own untapped potential. So, instead of leaving things up to luck, why not take charge and create your own fortune? Enter the Misogi Challenge—a bold, once-a-year challenge designed to push your limits and show you what you’re really made of.

Think of the Misogi Challenge as a personal quest—your own epic adventure, like something straight out of Irish folklore. The idea is simple: pick a challenge that has a 50% chance of failure—something so big and audacious that it scares you a little (or a lot). The point isn’t to win, but to grow, to step into the unknown, and to push past what you thought was possible.

This idea comes from an ancient Japanese Shinto purification ritual called Misogi, which was all about cleansing the spirit through intense physical endurance. Nowadays, it’s been embraced by top athletes, entrepreneurs, and anyone looking to break through their own limitations—kind of like a modern-day Celtic warrior preparing for battle.

The Rules of Misogi (With an Irish Twist!)
  1. It Must Be Hard – Like hunting for a four-leaf clover, this challenge should be rare and tough. If you already know you can do it, it’s not a true Misogi.
  2. A 50/50 Chance of Success – The goal is to test yourself against something uncertain—think of it as trying to catch a leprechaun. Maybe you will, maybe you won’t, but the chase will change you.
  3. One Big Challenge Per Year – No need to do a million small challenges. Just pick one, go all in, and make it count—like St. Patrick driving out the snakes (okay, maybe not that dramatic, but still!).
  4. It’s About Growth, Not Competition – This isn’t about beating someone else. It’s about discovering what’s inside you—the real treasure at the end of the rainbow.
Why Take On a Misogi Challenge?
  • Break Through Mental Barriers – Like the ancient Celts who ventured into the unknown, you’ll redefine what’s possible for yourself.
  • Build Resilience – Facing something truly difficult builds grit, the kind that helps you in every aspect of life.
  • Experience Real Growth – The best lessons come from struggle, not comfort. Just ask any Irish folk hero.
  • Boost Your Confidence – Conquering a challenge that seemed impossible? That’s pure gold—it rewires your brain to see obstacles differently.
St. Patrick’s Day-Inspired Misogi Ideas

Misogi isn’t about just running marathons (unless that’s your thing). It’s personal, and it should challenge you. Here are a few ideas with a St. Paddy’s twist:

  • Physical: Run a race in full leprechaun gear, take a freezing cold dip in a river (like the ultimate wake-up call), or hike an epic trail inspired by an Irish pilgrimage.
  • Mental: Do a 10-day silent retreat (channel your inner monk), write a book in a month, or try to learn Gaelic in record time.
  • Emotional: Face a big fear—whether that’s public speaking, radical honesty, or finally having that difficult conversation you’ve been avoiding.
Ready to Chase Your Own Pot of Gold?

Misogi is all about pushing beyond the limits you’ve set for yourself. Sure, it’s scary. But so is every great adventure. The hardest part? Choosing to go for it. Once you do, you’ll walk away stronger, braver, and with a story worth telling—just like a true hero from Irish folklore.

So Dawn, what’s your Misogi challenge gonna be this year? 

“Wow Chat!  Thanks for explaining all of this for me!  I just finished writing a book (that was my Misogi for 2024!) so I guess I need to pick my next big Misogi.  I am scheduled to run a 50 miler in October along the Hennepin Canal.  Based on the information you provided, I think that will be a great Misogi for me.  OH BOY! I better get to training!  Thanks for the chat Chat.  I enjoyed this cup of coffee with you.  I look forward to future conversations and pints (of coffee)!”  

There you have it,  Southeast Region!  Hope you enjoyed my conversation with Chat about doing a Misogi Challenge.  Now the big question for YOU:  What will your Misogi Challenge be!  I would love to hear from you.  Drop me a line at [email protected].  Let’s do this together! Don’t just rely on the luck of the Irish—take the leap, embrace the unknown, and discover what’s truly possible. 

Sláinte!

Dawn

PATRICK’S TECH TALK

For the past few months, we’ve been on a bit of a run talking only about systems, models, and mostly Command. And so, in order to give a little break from the usual, I decided to dive a little deeper into some of the ancillary tools agents use on a regular basis in their tech stack. Most of these complement the ones we provide quite well, and if you’ve been in real estate a while, you’ll likely recognize a few of the names. One of my favorite, more recent additions to mix is CubiCasa, which allows you to create floor plans and layouts of existing properties, with square footage, in just a few minutes using your phone. This list is by no means a conclusive list, just some fun, useful tools to take a peek at.

Non-Command Real Estate Tech Toolbox:

CubiCasa – Mobile Floorplan Generation Tool: https://www.cubi.casa/

Forewarn – Criminal Records / Background Checks on the go: https://www.forewarn.com/

ChatGPT – The most commonly used Generative AI tool available. Great for creating basic marketing content, translating to different languages, and analyzing large datasets: https://chatgpt.com/

Genius Scan – Mobile App for scanning documents on the go: https://geniusscansdk.com/

Manychat – Instagram tool for auto responses in comments or DMs: https://manychat.com/

CapCut – Video editing software by the makers of TikTok. Easy to use: https://www.capcut.com/
