DON R. CAMPBELL is Canada's "REIN MAN" of Real Estate; a nickname given to him by his peers of more than 20 years.

But more than that, he's a humanitarian, a philanthropist, a husband, a son, a farmer and a friend. From the moment I met him, maybe a half-dozen years ago, I had this overwhelming feeling we would be friends for life. So far, so true.

He has this magnetically engaging quality about him. Perhaps it's the fact that even as smart as he is, about a plethora of things, he doesn't show off. Perhaps it's his childlike curiosity, and his courage to not allow his lack of knowledge on any particular topic to keep him from learning more; even mastering it. Or, perhaps, it's because he's married to Connie, one of the kindest, most lively and engaging women you'll ever meet. 

Either way, you're going to enjoy this podcast. But before I share his impressive stats, let me share a few quotes he's integrated into his life. Both Tammy & I have them scribbled and stuck to our kitchen fridge where we see & internalize them on a daily basis.

• Live a life less ordinary

• Don't get caught in the "sea of sameness"

• What gets measured occurs more often

• Being mindful can actually push people away

• Get clear on who you hang out with; when you do, things begin to grow

• Ask yourself, How do I feel about this? do I feel lighter, happier, healthier, younger? If not, don't do it

• Always be mindful in all that you do.
