You’re Sitting on a Goldmine – Start Cashing In! – David Greenspan

May 13 (Wednesday) at 2:00 p.m. | Pinsent Room
May 14 (Thursday) at 11:45 a.m. | Sutherland Room

Every agent is looking for more business right now.
So they’re chasing new strategies, the next tool, the next trend — the next thing that’s supposed to change everything.
But what if the real opportunity isn’t out there?
What if it’s already in your world — and you’re just not thinking about it the right way?

In this session, David Greenspan challenges how you think about your database, your relationships, and where your next deal actually comes from — introducing a simple but powerful shift: seeing your contacts the same way you’d see money.

Because money doesn’t grow by sitting still. It grows when it’s managed, nurtured, and invested over time. Your contacts are no different.

When that clicks, everything changes — how you follow up, how you show up, and how consistently business starts to come your way.

If you’re ready to move past the noise and focus on what actually drives more deals, more consistency, and more income — especially in this market — this is the session to be in.

Gord Lemon | Real Estate Entrepreneur

Every year, billions of dollars in real estate equity sits idle — not because homeowners don’t care about their financial future, but because no one in their life has the training to help them see what’s possible. The financial planning world doesn’t understand real estate. And the real estate world was never taught to think like financial advisors. Gord Lemon saw that gap firsthand.

Over more than 35 years, he built a diverse portfolio spanning residential and commercial properties across seven provinces and states, through fix-and-flips, rent-to-owns, multi-family holds, and commercial acquisitions — complemented by over 12 years in the mortgage space. But what shaped his mission wasn’t the deals. It was realizing that most real estate professionals lacked the language, the frameworks, and the confidence to have wealth-building conversations with the clients who trusted them most. That realization led him to real estate investment education, where he has trained and coached more than 25,000 students across Canada and the U.S. — through his own companies and alongside high-profile industry names including New York Times bestselling author Robert Shemin and Bill Rancic, the first winner of The Apprentice. He has been a regular contributor to Canadian Real Estate Wealth Magazine, REM, and the REIN Report. Most recently, Gord co-founded the Real Estate Investment Institute and created the Real Estate Investment Specialist™ (REIS™) Designation — a professional certification designed to close that gap for good, equipping realtors with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to become the wealth-building advisors their clients are already looking for.

Michelle Obama | Keynote Speaker

Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, Michelle Obama never imagined that she’d become First Lady of the United States. She never imagined that one day, she would inspire people all around the world and drive historic change. As the daughter of a city water-pump operator and a stay-at-home mom, girls like her aren’t supposed to do any of that.

But Michelle Obama has spent her life challenging us to reconsider where that “supposed to” comes from — and who determines it. Michelle met her husband Barack in 1989 at the law firm Sidley Austin LLP, where she worked immediately after graduating from Harvard Law School. The two fell in love and married on the South Side of Chicago, not far from where she grew up. They stayed on the South Side to raise their two beautiful girls, Malia and Sasha, before moving to the White House. Of all the things she has achieved in her remarkable life, Michelle considers being a mother her greatest accomplishment.

Her life shows us that you don’t have to look a certain way or act a certain way to fit in; you don’t have to make a lot of money or come from a certain group or class or faith in order to matter. Each of us can write our own story. And when we share those stories with one another, we can lift each other up along the way.

That’s why, as an author, Michelle speaks candidly about her experiences as a wife, mother, Black woman, and First Lady of the United States, telling her story in a way that empowers others to see the beauty in their own. Through her advocacy work, she strives to help young people see the power of their voice and the boundless promise inside of them. Through film and television, she elevates stories and storytellers who have too often been ignored. And as a co-founder of a children’s nutrition company, she’s aiming to help raise a healthier generation of children.

Michelle’s passion for storytelling has set sales records and earned her global acclaim. Her memoir, Becoming — a moving portrayal of her life’s journey and path to the White House — spent over 130 weeks on the New York Times Bestsellers list, sold more than 17 million copies worldwide, and won a Grammy Award. Her second book, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times also spent months on the New York Times bestsellers list. In it, she shares the lessons she’s learned that have helped her rise above difficult circumstances. In late 2024, she released the accompanying workbook “Overcoming” a guide with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges.

Through Higher Ground, which she co-founded with her husband in 2018, her work to share stories has won awards and accolades. Higher Ground’s first film, American Factory, won the Academy Award for Best Documentary in 2020, and Crip Camp was nominated in the same category a year later. She produced and stars in Waffles + Mochi, a show that teaches children about their food and cooking through an adventurous part-yeti, part-waffle tour guide. Higher Ground’s Ada Twist, Scientist and We The People each won a Children’s & Family Emmy Award. The Light We Carry Netflix special recently earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special. She executive produced Leave The World Behind, one of top ten most viewed films in Netflix history, Rustin for which Colman Domingo was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor and the popular Netflix docuseries The Later Daters that follows singles in their 50s, 60s, and 70s as they try for their second (or third, or fourth) chance at love.

Hoping to reach new, diverse audiences, Michelle joined the world of podcasting with The Michelle Obama Podcast on Spotify and Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast on Audible. At its release in 2020, The Michelle Obama Podcast was the most successful original in Spotify history, bringing in more women listeners over 40 than any other podcast. Last year, along with her husband, she produced The Wonder of Stevie alongside Questlove, Stevie Wonder and Wesley Morris.

At the core of Michelle’s story is a belief not just in telling stories aligned with her values, but in living out those values — especially when it comes to strengthening the next generation. Through the Obama Foundation, she founded the Girls Opportunity Alliance, which supports adolescent girls’ education and empowerment around the world. In 2023, GOA launched a partnership with the Gates Foundation and Clooney Foundation for Justice to promote girls’ education and help end child marriage. As part of When We All Vote, she urges young people to register to vote and get involved in the electoral process — reaching more than 100 million people during the 2020 election. And with Partnership for a Healthier America, she has worked to curb food inequity in our country — in 2022 alone, they helped donate more than one million meals for families in need.

Malcolm Gladwell | Keynote Speaker

Malcolm Gladwell is the author of eight New York Times bestsellers, including his most recent book, Revenge of the Tipping Point. He has been named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential People and one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers. An extraordinary speaker, Malcolm has an unparalleled ability to be both entertaining and challenging, meeting the needs and exceeding the expectations of each unique audience with his signature eloquent, warm, and humorous delivery.

Renowned for his unique perspective on the forces driving human behavior, Gladwell employs masterful storytelling to break down the complex and often misunderstood concepts shaping society. He explored decision-making in Blink, the roots of success in Outliers, our underestimation of adversity and overestimation of privilege in David and Goliath, and why interactions with people we don’t know often go terribly wrong in Talking to Strangers.

In his #1 debut The Tipping Point, which remained on the bestseller list for more than 400 weeks, Gladwell changed the way we looked at the world through his examination of how ideas spread. He revisits the phenomenon of social epidemics in Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering.

His book, The Bomber Mafia: A Dream, a Temptation, and the Longest Night of the Second World War, was inspired by the four-part series about General Curtis LeMay on Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast. He weaves together stories of a Dutch genius and his homemade computer, a band of brothers in central Alabama, a British psychopath, and pyromaniacal chemists at Harvard to examine one of the greatest moral challenges in modern American history. He also authored the audio biography Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon, an intimate window into Simon’s legendary career, what it means to be alive as an artist, and how to create work that endures, told over 30 hours of conversation with one of America’s most popular songwriters.

Malcolm is the host of Revisionist History, an award-winning podcast that takes a second glance at overlooked or misunderstood events, people, and ideas and asks whether we got it right the first time. He has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996 and previously served as a science and medicine writer for The Washington Post. He has won a National Magazine Award and been honored by the American Psychological Society and the American Sociological Association. He is a member of the Order of Canada and holds an honorary Doctorate of Letters from the University of Toronto.
