Call me a shrewd negotiator or color me lucky but I pulled off a coup for the folks coming in for the Sunday session of the BloodhoundBlog Unchained Social Media Marketing Conference, brought to you by Zillow.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was spending my Saturday evening online and e-mailed Wonderful Russ<\/a>, asking him to give me some time, on Sunday afternoon. There are two things you need to know about Russell Shaw: (1) his accomplishments dictate that you should schedule appointments for his time (2) his welcoming nature affords you an open door, so that it isn’t always a requirement. You’ll have to travel very far to meet a man more welcoming than Russell.<\/p>\n

Russell is a night owl, like I am. I think it’s because he is most creative at night; I know my best creative thinking comes after 10PM. I wasn’t surprised and was certainly delighted when his invitation to talk came immediately.<\/p>\n

“Call me now- I’ll pick up,<\/em>” he beckoned.<\/p>\n

When Russell Shaw invites you to call, you just do it. Let me give you some background, first:<\/p>\n

I lived in Phoenix for 12 years. I’ve been a lender there, since 1995. Anyone familiar with Phoenix knows that Russell is an institution. Everyone within reach of the Phoenix television and radio airwaves knows Russell. I’ve watched Russell lose weight and gain gray hair, over the years, as THE spokesman for Maricopa County real estate. His presence is overwhelming with his plain-spoken “no- hassle listing<\/a>” offering.<\/p>\n

If you’re stuck on Interstate 10, driving into work, you’ll hear this, on the radio<\/a>. When you return home from work and settle down to enjoy the Diamondbacks game, you’ll see this, on the television<\/a>. Ubiquity is Russell’s middle name. It is not a mistake that I’ve modeled his offline presence with my own brand of online ubiquity. I’m not brilliant, just smart enough to model successful people.<\/p>\n

I’ve hardly started and I could continue for hours. While Russell’s success is chronicled in The Millionaire Real Estate Agent<\/em><\/a>, a true testament to his success comes from a story from last Spring.<\/p>\n
