1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,080
Hey there, thank you for joining me for another episode of YQG In Bloom.

2
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:17,560
My name is Tracy Martens and today I have Vu Ngo and Vu is a real estate agent and

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,200
also a personal trainer.

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,160
So let's figure out how you became both of those.

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,160
Yes, yes.

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,960
So hey guys, I'm Vu, if you guys don't know.

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,360
So basically, it all started from high school.

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,400
So basically, growing up, I was a thinner kid playing in the basketball season.

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,680
Then just in high school, I started, you know, maybe some time to work out a little bit,

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,040
build a little more self-confidence from there.

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,200
Then once I started working myself and I had a lot of family and friends kind of asked

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,280
like, hey, I've noticed you doing a lot of good progress.

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,480
Like how can I do this or whatever?

14
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,120
Then I kind of like changed my idea.

15
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,600
Like, maybe this is something for me.

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,040
Because at first I was able to go to be a nurse and it was funny too, because I got

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,400
a scholarship to be a nurse and imagine going to my parents like, hey guys, I actually not

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,000
going to take this free money for school.

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,960
I'm going to become a personal trainer.

20
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:11,600
And my parents being foreign, they're like, what's that?

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,600
That's a hobby.

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,600
You know what I mean?

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Yeah, you go to the gym.

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Yeah, you go to the gym, right?

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,480
And they're like, well, take this job, be a nurse and this and that.

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,120
I'm like, you know, it's a lot of, I know a lot of pressure.

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,280
So I told them like, let me pay for school.

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,800
Let me become, let me get everything done, let me work for a year.

29
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,840
And if I can become self-sustainable and be successful, let's continue on.

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,640
If not, I'll go back to the nursing realm.

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,640
Oh, for sure.

32
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,520
Then long story short, clearly I'm still here.

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,360
So all worked out in the end.

34
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:41,120
Then I started working at Crunch Fitness for my first three years there and COVID hit.

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,120
So that was also a very interesting time for everyone.

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,160
Then being the fitness world, it was hard too, because they're can't, they're shutting

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,160
down gyms.

38
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,560
We couldn't work on our health.

39
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,480
The government didn't want us to exercise, which is another topic within itself.

40
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,960
But we're over that, we're past that.

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,480
So now here going on, so I was at Crunch, it was a corporate gym, right?

42
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,360
It's a big company, things like that.

43
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,280
Then during COVID, it was essentially so hard to get into a gym because it was a booking,

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,960
only 10 people per hour.

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,880
So that was a headache for myself.

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,080
So I went to, okay, let me just start training at Burnett Park in LaSalle.

47
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,080
I love that park.

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,080
Yeah, it's beautiful.

49
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,080
Beautiful.

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,080
I loved it.

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,800
I was there and they'll come in a circle, they'll pick me up, they'll start trading

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,800
tomatoes.

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,800
It was the cutest thing ever.

54
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,800
I loved them.

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,800
So sweet.

56
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,440
So it was nice, especially during COVID, because whoever wanted to come work out can come work

57
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,440
out.

58
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,520
It was nice just to have that human interaction again that we all missed during that time.

59
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,520
Right?

60
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,880
And during that time too, and I was trying to kind of make a business decision because

61
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,000
I wasn't seeing eye to eye with the corporate view, which I understand business is business.

62
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,560
But I understand that I'm here to help people.

63
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,920
I want to be there for people, help them accomplish their goals and guide them in the right direction

64
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:57,840
where business, where corporations, they kind of see the dollar sign first.

65
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,960
You know what I mean?

66
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,240
So then I kind of met with Luis and Jessica from True Fitness.

67
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,360
So they're a mom and pop job in the city.

68
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:12,080
They have two locations, downtown on Ouellette and one on Palette and Tecumseh East.

69
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,960
So I reached out to them and then that's how I kind of became an independent trainer there.

70
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,120
So it's kind of like if a hairdresser paid rent at a salon.

71
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,480
So I had my, so this taught me to kind of become my own entrepreneur because now I have

72
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640
overhead fee that you pay every month.

73
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:31,800
I had no idea that you could do that, become an independent.

74
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,800
Yeah.

75
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,600
So it's more likely in more local gyms where like, so say like the crunch, the good life

76
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,240
and more corporate gyms is always going to be a kind of a split base and become independent

77
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,360
wherever you charge your clients or the business you charge is all within myself.

78
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920
But then again, I have an overhead fee to kind of pay off.

79
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,360
So it's kind of pros and cons to both.

80
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:56,320
But with the times at the times I was like, okay, I have to kind of pivot because of COVID.

81
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,680
So I made a decision to become independent and it's been very, it's been, I'm blessed

82
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,600
for the opportunity because I learned a lot about myself and as a business and try to

83
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,000
become independent, the dos and don'ts and whatnot.

84
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,120
Then one of my clients, Chris McCloud, he was my very first client at Crunch when I

85
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,120
started at 19.

86
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,880
And imagine like it was a big dynamic change because now I'm younger and the people who

87
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,520
are listening to me now.

88
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,720
So that was a big change that I had to get used to coming out of school and everything

89
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,720
else.

90
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,520
But I've been training him for so long and during COVID they called me a virtual VU because

91
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,240
we're training on Zoom calls and so on and so forth.

92
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Then last about a little over last year he kind of looked at me like, VU, have you ever

93
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,840
thought about doing real estate?

94
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:44,680
Because he has his own brokerage called this at the time called Distinctive Homes.

95
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,200
And now he was thinking about franchising to now Realty One Group, ICONIC.

96
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520
We're actually the first franchise in Canada.

97
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,840
The head office opened in GTA area, but the business started in Las Vegas.

98
00:04:57,840 --> 00:05:02,320
So we're the one, we're the very first one in Canada, Gresham and I'll and yeah, he's

99
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,080
like, yo, we ever thought we were real estate?

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,840
And I was like, I never thought about it, but I kind of knew at that time I kind of,

101
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:10,720
I was scared to make a career change.

102
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,560
I think any change is scary when especially when I've been doing the fitness thing for

103
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,960
the last like four or five years at a time.

104
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,400
But I had so much trust and faith with him because I seen how he runs his business.

105
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,760
I see it that man and mentor he is, how he treats his family, the things he does for

106
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,760
other people he cares about.

107
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,760
So I had a lot of faith and trust in him.

108
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,080
And it's funny because I told myself I'll never go back to school and I had to go back

109
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,520
to school and do the online learning and be stressed and that.

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Real estate school is not fun.

111
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,440
It's dry.

112
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,440
It's dry.

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,440
It's really dry.

114
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,480
But everyone said, just get it done, get it done.

115
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,840
And thankfully I got done.

116
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:45,840
You have two years to do it.

117
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,840
I got done in six months because I was trying to do it.

118
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,080
It's like hustle, hustle, hustle, do it, do it, do it.

119
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,720
Then I got my license and now I'm talking about my license in June of this year.

120
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200
So I've only been in the industry for five months now.

121
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,000
Now that my Chris has opened up the Realty office and we just had a great opening just

122
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,320
last week and the mayor was there, council was there, it was a really big celebration

123
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:12,200
and Chris is also on the board and head of the board for the downtown BIA.

124
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,320
So he's really trying to push and rejuvenize the downtown scene.

125
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,560
And it's nice too because the office is right on Palisher and the Wichita Mamm at True Fin

126
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:21,800
is right on O'Lett.

127
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,360
So I'm born and raised.

128
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,920
I'm a Windsor native and I've always been in the downtown area.

129
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,960
And like I get the stigma, I get people worried, but like for me it's home.

130
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,280
You know what I mean?

131
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:34,480
I love the downtown area.

132
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,240
I think it has a lot of hidden gems that people aren't aware of yet or people have a different

133
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,160
stigma coming down through, but people come down all the time for like the downtown market

134
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,320
and the night market through.

135
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,600
So people know about downtown, people are willing to come, right?

136
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,480
But I think as a community, especially with the city hall being right there and the police

137
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,000
station being right there, like I think as a community we can do more and we're taking

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,240
the right steps to get to where we need to be for the downtown scene.

139
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,720
You just need to move a little faster.

140
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,840
It needs to be a little faster, right, but at least steps are being made now.

141
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:10,280
So I think we're on the right track to bring more of a, to kind of change the dynamic of

142
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,280
the downtown scene.

143
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,840
And I'm kind of happy, I'm very happy and thankful to be a part of the experience, right?

144
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,200
Because downtown is my home and I think it has a lot to offer.

145
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:23,640
And I know a lot of the local businesses and just people in the community saying hi and

146
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,640
every day.

147
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,600
So it's like, we deserve it, you know, as a community and as a city as a whole too.

148
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,080
And with all the jobs come in from the hospital, the plant and everything else, like I tell

149
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,760
people too, the next five, 10 years, it's going to be a little metropolitan city.

150
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,080
It's going to become like a little Toronto.

151
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:41,080
I really believe it.

152
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,080
People aren't seeing it yet, but it's coming.

153
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Well, it is.

154
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,760
I mean, you're in real estate.

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,480
So you know that there's a lot of people from Toronto in businesses and corporations that

156
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:56,320
are buying here, which we're not going to get into that because I don't do the political

157
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,320
side.

158
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,720
I see the pros and cons of it and I get it.

159
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:10,040
Now you started your career here just a few months ago in the midst of the change in the

160
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,560
real estate market and that how are, how's it going for you?

161
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,440
I learned quick that it's a, I'm a really small fish in a big pond.

162
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,680
And I feel like the same way when I started fitness, like I'm very young, I'm 26 in this

163
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,680
industry.

164
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,440
So it's relatively very young compared to elsewhere.

165
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,680
So at first I think it was very intimidating at first just because, you know, with any

166
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,360
change and starting anything new, I kind of was on edge.

167
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,800
I want to do, hopefully do things right.

168
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,320
And I'm helping someone purchase a home.

169
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,320
You know what I mean?

170
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,320
That's, that's a very big investment.

171
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,120
That's usually the biggest investment that people are making working through.

172
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,120
Right.

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,200
But I knew with Chris and my team, I had a lot of support and I was always on like, they're

174
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200
helping me at 10 o'clock at night, 11 o'clock at night.

175
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,880
They didn't have to, you know what I mean?

176
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,160
So they're, they're willing to help with me and I know it is a very interesting time.

177
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:02,080
Interest rates are high and things that through, but if I knew if I can kind of navigate during

178
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,480
this market, everything is a cycle.

179
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,880
It's going to cycle through when, when does low is come back high, when is high is come

180
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,880
back low.

181
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,920
But if I'm able to navigate in this market right now, I know I'll be able to be successful

182
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,920
when it flips over.

183
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,400
I was just, I was just going to say that as long as you can keep your head up.

184
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:24,520
That's the one good thing about starting in this market is you're going to learn how to

185
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:31,640
fight and figure it out, but you don't have that stress because of it being your only

186
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,080
bread and butter because you have your other job as well.

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,440
So you have the stress reliever.

188
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,440
Yeah.

189
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,040
It's nice to add you had that safety net too, right?

190
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,480
Even going to school, like I kind of put myself in a part time position because I knew once

191
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,900
I was done school, I had to balance everything out.

192
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:51,960
And it's kind of tough too, because doing multiple things at once, you can never put

193
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,960
a hundred percent of your effort onto both.

194
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,400
You can try your best, but really it's not possible, right?

195
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,520
Everything going on, moving through.

196
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,920
So it's a balance where I'm trying to keep my current clients in the fitness world happy

197
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,760
and make sure I'm doing the best I can there.

198
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,520
But now taking on this new responsibility, I'm trying to just make sure I balance everything

199
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,240
out and giving everything its proper time and effort as well.

200
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,080
It's been interesting too, like no complaints.

201
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,880
I've definitely learned a lot.

202
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,320
Just going through everything.

203
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,880
Like my last client, we spent like five months buying them a home.

204
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,680
We put an offer on six different houses and kept following through, but everything was

205
00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:31,800
a learning process.

206
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,800
Everything was a learning journey.

207
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,960
So I'm thankful that I got to experience it and thankfully my clients were patient with

208
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:37,960
me as well.

209
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,760
And we got them to a home where they're completely happy with.

210
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,240
And I know when I got the call that we closed the deal, hung up, I was screaming.

211
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,240
It was like nine, 10 o'clock.

212
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,240
And my mom was like, what's wrong?

213
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,240
What's wrong?

214
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,240
I just got out of my house.

215
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,600
I was just so happy for them to finally not deal with that stress anymore and the worries

216
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,840
from everything else too.

217
00:10:53,840 --> 00:11:00,720
So it was very self-motivating because it really showed myself like, hey, I can do this.

218
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,720
You can do it.

219
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,000
So that gave me a lot more confidence in myself to be able to do that too.

220
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,680
And I think it's just when you take that change, it's just putting yourself out there, just

221
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:10,680
trying, just trying.

222
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,120
Because the worst comes worst.

223
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,960
You fail a couple of times and you finally succeed, but if you don't even try, you'll

224
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,480
always have that wonder in your thought like the what if.

225
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,240
And I think that it's always going to be more of a killer on people than actually trying

226
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,240
out too.

227
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,920
But it is scary to take that first step, right?

228
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:27,920
Yeah.

229
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:34,000
But I think Chris was smart in bringing you on and telling you to become a real estate

230
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,080
agent because A, you have the personality and the confidence.

231
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:45,800
But B, being in the personal trainer field, that's very personal.

232
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:50,920
You're right in there with people when they're maybe not feeling their best and you're kind

233
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:57,160
of forcing them, but having the patience and the ability to listen to them.

234
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:04,000
And I know from being in real estate, only in the office part, many, many years ago,

235
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,680
that is key.

236
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,080
You need to be confident, but you also need to be able to listen.

237
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,720
And not a lot of people understand that.

238
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Yes.

239
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,520
Especially like, it was interesting too, as you mentioned that, like I started my fitness

240
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,520
world in 1920.

241
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:23,920
Like I learned quick, like I had these clients who were double, triple my age, like invented

242
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,080
to me about certain things and crying to me about certain things where like I haven't

243
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,800
experienced that in my own life.

244
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,780
So I was like trying to sympathize and be empathetic and give them that support when

245
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:37,560
even myself, I've never been through that too.

246
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:38,560
Right?

247
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:43,160
So I feel like with that going on, it made me mature and grow up quicker than I really

248
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,680
anticipated because everything I dealt through.

249
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:49,800
It's like with personal training, I see my clients more than my own family and friends.

250
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,800
You know what I mean?

251
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,640
And they've been like technically in the health field, they see their, if you do have a trainer,

252
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,000
you see them more often than your doctor, your dental hygienist or your chiropractor

253
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,960
and so on and so forth.

254
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,920
And we are so mingled in between our lives.

255
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,440
And I do ask them because their personal lives do affect their own health, the fitness and

256
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,680
overall and I'm a big advocate for mental health as well.

257
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,240
I feel like physical health is important.

258
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:19,080
Jessica, we're here for a long run, but if you're not in a good head space yourself,

259
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,360
everything else that you want to move forward and succeed, whether that's personal life,

260
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,380
friends, family, it's going to be put at a hindrance because you have to still work

261
00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:29,380
on yourself too.

262
00:13:29,380 --> 00:13:30,380
You know what I mean?

263
00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:35,600
So yeah, so definitely thankful for Chris to kind of open that window of opportunity

264
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,400
for me because I didn't see it myself.

265
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,080
And sometimes you, I'm glad that I have people that nudged me and be like, Hey, you could

266
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,080
do this.

267
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,000
You could do this because sometimes you don't see yourself in that limelight.

268
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,920
I can see that because I mean, how many kids grow up saying, I want to be a real estate

269
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:51,920
agent.

270
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,080
You know, like that's my goal in life.

271
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,080
It's not that many.

272
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:02,560
It's something that they fall into, but the really good ones, they find that as a passion.

273
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:07,840
And it sounds like it is turning into your passion, especially after that first sale.

274
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,840
Yes, for sure.

275
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,920
I think like people always ask me like, who you think you'll be in the fitness world forever

276
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:13,920
or the real estate world?

277
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:14,920
Like, what'd you make that change?

278
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,920
Like, what's your passion?

279
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:22,120
At first, when I was growing up, I said fitness is my passion and exercise my passion.

280
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,600
But now as I grow older, I think it's really, I think people are my passion.

281
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,600
I think so too.

282
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,600
You know what I mean?

283
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,200
I think especially with COVID, like becoming virtual, everyone trying to navigate during

284
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,200
those times.

285
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:41,240
I think it made me really miss the human interaction, the human connection, and just being so personable

286
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,240
with each other too.

287
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,240
Right?

288
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,680
Cause it was, honestly, I'm thankful for FaceTime, Zoom calls.

289
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,560
At least we have that too, had that communication, but nothing beats hugging our friend or a

290
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,800
family member in so long.

291
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,720
That physical touch and physical presence.

292
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,720
Yes.

293
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,720
So, yeah, I would say like people are my passion.

294
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,040
I feel like I'm very open-minded and understanding people.

295
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,360
Cause I understand, even myself, I didn't have the easiest childhood growing up.

296
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,720
You know, and I'm thankful for certain things that made me the man I am today.

297
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,000
And I understand that everyone has their own journey.

298
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,880
And I think people are quick to judge or make pre-assumptions about people, which I don't

299
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:18,880
think is fair.

300
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:19,880
Yes.

301
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,920
I always, when I meet new people, I come with open mind, listening more than I try to speak.

302
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,960
Cause everyone has a story, especially nowadays in a world of instant gratification, social

303
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,320
media, like people aren't, people feel like they're not being heard.

304
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,320
You know, and I understand that too, you know?

305
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520
So it goes a long way of just listening to someone.

306
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,040
And sometimes people don't have that.

307
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,480
I understand sometimes with myself, I didn't have people in my corner at times.

308
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,000
And now I know like when people are having a bad day or whatever, maybe you never know

309
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,200
what people are going on.

310
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:55,040
So I always try my best to shine a little light, crack a little joke, try to give them

311
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,040
some sunlight.

312
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,040
They're like, people are good.

313
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,040
There are good people out here.

314
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,040
You know what I mean?

315
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,880
And people do generally care and people are authentic too, which especially with like

316
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,000
another Windsor local, Shadow 2 MD motivator.

317
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,320
So he's in a local ship, spreading good energy and a good positive vibes for the whole world.

318
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,420
And now he's doing things nationally too, right?

319
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:19,480
So I think after COVID, I do see a big sense of community, especially in the Windsor local

320
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:25,600
community, like everyone showing up to pop-ups or the Ford City went out of the community

321
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,920
and started in the summertime in the downtown market.

322
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,560
So I love seeing our people coming out to support our people too.

323
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:32,900
So it's really refreshing.

324
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:33,900
It's so funny.

325
00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:40,560
In fact, I was actually working at a market in Amersburg last night and it was quite busy.

326
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:41,560
I was surprised.

327
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,560
I love that.

328
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:48,200
I was excited to it even with the weather, but I mean it was busy, but I didn't sell

329
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:54,120
a ton of stuff, but we just, we all had so much fun and we were out there freezing our

330
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,280
buns off and we didn't care.

331
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,160
We were just all the vendors who were just hanging out.

332
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680
And I do like that new sense of security.

333
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,600
I think everybody missed everybody, but they also realized that you have to have a little

334
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,520
bit more patience, a little bit more understanding because we're all going through the same

335
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,520
thing.

336
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,000
Kind of, you know, we all have our own issues, our own stories.

337
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,360
And as long as you listen, then you're going to be heard and people are going to listen

338
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:24,360
back.

339
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:29,600
And I never wanted to go into public speaking.

340
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,600
I was behind the camera.

341
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,360
I never was the type of person.

342
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,420
I always said, I don't like people.

343
00:17:34,420 --> 00:17:40,840
And I've just found the last few years, there's been a shift in Windsor and you can feel it.

344
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:41,840
You can feel it.

345
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,320
You can really feel it.

346
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,320
You can.

347
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,880
And now so many people have decided that they're going to find their passions and do their

348
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:58,680
passions that we have an abundance of new pop ups, new stores, new markets, new vendors,

349
00:17:58,680 --> 00:17:59,680
like Instagram.

350
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,640
You don't have to follow stars anymore.

351
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,040
I have so many people that I follow and they're all from Windsor.

352
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,040
It's crazy.

353
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,120
It's lovely too, cause like it's such a big community and people share each other and

354
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,280
follow each other and just both lives and word of mouth.

355
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,280
You know what I mean?

356
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,280
And support each other.

357
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,640
And that's the thing too.

358
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,600
Like I really do feel a sense of support.

359
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,840
And that is like in like the last couple of years, you do see a lot of more businesses,

360
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,360
local businesses and people and it's refreshing because people are taking that step to follow

361
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:30,360
their passion.

362
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:31,360
Right.

363
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:34,800
And I think a lot of like said, making change is very scary for a lot of people.

364
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,520
I think a lot of people is the, can I do it?

365
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:41,680
Or like, or they're scared of what people are going to say and this and that, but it's

366
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:47,360
so comforting and rewarding to know that our community is welcoming everyone with open arms

367
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,960
and trying to, can I say like, at the end of the day, there's a big pie, but we can

368
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,960
all eat.

369
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,960
We can all eat.

370
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:53,960
You know what I mean?

371
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,160
So it's refreshing to see everyone succeed and try out their passions.

372
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,680
And especially with everyone coming in with all the new jobs and opportunities, I can

373
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,400
only see more businesses opening up in the city too.

374
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,480
So it's a supplement everyone coming through.

375
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:14,360
So I really hope so because we have way too many commercial places that are closed down,

376
00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:15,800
especially in the downtown area.

377
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:23,840
If we can start bringing in, even utilizing those empty spaces as pop up markets or open

378
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:30,040
it up, we have so much talent in this area and you're the real estate agent, so get to

379
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,040
it.

380
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Yeah.

381
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,040
You have nowhere to find me.

382
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,040
I hope everyone out.

383
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,440
So especially through, I think definitely in times like the downtown market and the

384
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,640
summer, those are really good opportunities too, right?

385
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,640
Because the weather is nice.

386
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:42,640
I know you've been out there.

387
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,680
Everyone's out having a great time.

388
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,600
It's so happy to see the community out and about, right?

389
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,320
So I definitely see Windsor moving towards that direction.

390
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:56,280
And when everyone's thinking about doing their own thing or just debating themselves, take

391
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,280
that step.

392
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,280
Take that step.

393
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,280
I know it's scary, but it's even scarier to not know what would happen.

394
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,400
Especially in Windsor because there's always somebody patting you on the back or holding

395
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,960
you up and helping you and supporting you.

396
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,600
And I have people running around here that are my support systems that I met online,

397
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,520
but I mean, it's a community and I'm really glad you're part of it.

398
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,160
Oh, thank you so much.

399
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,160
I'm glad.

400
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,160
Shout out to my cousin, Nina.

401
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,160
Oh, love Nina.

402
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:30,560
So I know she's been big in the whole content creation, just making local, promoting local

403
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,040
business as well.

404
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:38,600
And for me, it's like, I used to make content too, then like during COVID, then this is

405
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,600
a time I was trying to work on my mental health.

406
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:47,440
It became like a burden for me because this stuff can become very taxing if you let it

407
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,880
be and you worry about the things that don't even matter.

408
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,880
But the human condition, you know how it is, right?

409
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,880
Exactly.

410
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,880
So I took a lot of time away from it, but I was still going up to these local stores

411
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,400
and going to these markets because I do love to support my city.

412
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,840
And now that I feel like I'm in a lot better place mentally and now starting real estate,

413
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
going into new year, I'm also getting some camera gear.

414
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,960
I want to start promoting local businesses to kind of show these are the gems that we

415
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,160
have in our neighborhoods.

416
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,160
You know what I mean?

417
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,960
And it could help people who are interested in real estate moving so on and so forth.

418
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:24,400
But I think if I'm able to give back to my community and show my love to support, I think

419
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,000
it will just naturally form that community even more so and build that exposure for everyone

420
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,480
else working through, right?

421
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,480
That'd be a great idea.

422
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,840
Yeah, so that's my idea.

423
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,840
I would love to move forward.

424
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,280
I don't see a lot of real estate agents kind of.

425
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:44,720
I see the real estate industry is a very old, old school industry.

426
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,760
And I feel like it's kind of the new age, the new era of people.

427
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,720
I'm going to be stepping in and doing my own thing, a little twist to it.

428
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,600
But I'm going to, I really look forward to showcasing these local businesses and just

429
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,720
let the community hear their stories.

430
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,960
I think that's going to be a good way to spark a connection within the community.

431
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,440
And also it's nice to see these local businesses, but you never get to really hear their internal

432
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,440
story.

433
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:18,400
And I think that will be able to connect certain people and gravitate towards people to other

434
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,560
people and kind of build that love and support even more with each other deeply.

435
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:23,560
It's true.

436
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,560
It's true.

437
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:29,520
But I want to thank you so much, Vu, for coming on here today and sharing your journey.

438
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,200
Both with personal fitness and real estate.

439
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,200
Thank you.

440
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Thank you.

441
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Now, where can people get a hold of you?

442
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,680
So best is probably on Instagram.

443
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:45,320
My personal social media, like it's kind of interesting, kind of you can do personal business,

444
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,960
but my real estate page is selling YQG.

445
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Then my personal page is just my name, underscore, Vuno.

446
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,320
That one's more my lifestyle, fitness and everything else too.

447
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,320
The real estate is real estate.

448
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,840
We can do, but it's kind of all encompassing on one.

449
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,760
I share local businesses and my personal life on both because even though it is a business

450
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,720
page, I still think it's important to be personal and show the community that this is me.

451
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,720
You know what I mean?

452
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,920
And I'm not, I don't have any shame with it.

453
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:16,720
I love myself and I hope I can spread my energy towards other people and just continue to

454
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,900
build our community and keep moving forward.

455
00:23:18,900 --> 00:23:23,820
And you're also at True Fitness and the Real Estate Agency.

456
00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:29,200
So the GMMA is True Fitness on OLE and the brokerage is Realty One Group Iconic on Polisher.

457
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,200
Excellent.

458
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,200
Awesome.

459
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,200
Thank you so much.

460
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,200
Thank you so much.

461
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,200
It was a pleasure.

462
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,200
Oh, so nice to meet you.

463
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,640
Again, my name is Tracy.

464
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,920
Thank you for joining me for another episode of YQG in Bloom.

465
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:40,920
Have a good one.

466
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:59,940
We'll talk soon.
