In every major travel you encounter people that lead you along the way and that walk the path with you guiding your steps on your new course. Sometimes they are perfect strangers that yet become your friends right away because they share your same immediate goal and destination. These are the type of people that can change the course of your life, because they are unexpected and yet they can steer your course on a safer track, letting you cross the new territory using their eyes as a guidance.
The first important and major friend I met after arriving in the United States is named Chris Krimitsos (you can find more about him at commanderblue.com). Chris is by far the best promoter I have ever met. He is just natural at it. He has the knack of interacting with people in an informal and yet powerful fashion and he is a kid by election, having chosen a teddy bear as his brand image and buddy.

Anybody opens up when confronted with Chris, and yet is one of the sharpest video producers and interviewers in the nation. He knows how to bring out the best or the worst of anybody and he always does it with elegance and with the candid smile and open face that have become his hallmark.
I first “encountered” Chris on a webinar recording. I was traveling around in Milan while listening to a real estate webinar series by one of the leading investor coaches in the US and I plugged into my MP3 player the recording of an interview with him. I was struck by the fact that he was one of the few (then) real estate investors that had developed a whole system for selling houses with the auction method. You basically invite many people to your home during the week end and ask for bids, and then you ask for higher bids on the phone once the real life auction is over.
I was amazed by the detail with which he explained the whole system and I can still remember most of his words and I am setting up an auction for the next week end suing his very system. But the thing that really got to me, then, was that the interview was actually about a mastermind group that he had setup (little I knew then, but I was slanted to become part of it pretty soon). So he had been giving away most of his auction system for free during a webinar that was actually on another subject! And then he discussed extensively how to build a mastermind group too.
