๐บ๐ธ America 250: Title Edition
This Fourth of July, I'm celebrating one of America's greatest competitive advantages: ownership.
The ability to own property has fueled entrepreneurs, strengthened legacies & powered the American Dream for generations.
Happy Independence Day! ๐บ๐ธ
Great spending time last week with our Strategic Growth team supporting FNF's agency group.
We reviewed our 2026 goals, celebrated the wins, identified the gaps, and aligned on what's next.
The second half of the year starts now, and we're heading into it with momentum. ๐
David Friedberg: It's not rich vs poor, it's makers vs takers.
@friedberg:
โโThe great lie is that there are two sides to society, that is the rich and the poor.
And the great truth is that there are two sides that are the makers and the takers.
The lie is that the rich are unfairly rich and the poor are unfairly poor, and therefore, the poor must take from the rich.
But the truth is that it's the takers that tell you that lie, that the real truth is that artists, plumbers, electricians, woodworkers, computer scientists, people that build, people that make from all walks of life, all income levels, all wealth brackets, are the makers.
And the takers are what Sacks calls this intelligentsia, the analysts, the espousers, the armchair mechanics, the critics, the commentators, the politicians. They are the takers.
They are the people that watch the rest of society make stuff, build stuff, specifically doing things that create value for other people in society. That's what a maker is.โ
Just wrapped up a fantastic few days at the American Escrow Association Conference in Las Vegas ๐ฐ and it did not disappoint!
I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to deliver a keynote and spend time with so many smart, talented and innovative people across our industry.
Next stop: Las Vegas. ๐ฐโ๏ธ
Excited to join the American Escrow Association Conference this weekend and share a keynote on something I believe will define the future of business: combining the power of AI with deeply meaningful human connection. โค๏ธ ๐
Texas, it was great to be home. ๐ค
Grateful for the opportunity to help kick off #TLTA, debate AI, and open with a keynote on human connection and service in the age of AI.
Most of all, thankful for the conversations and friendships that make this industry so special. ๐
Next week, Iโll have the privilege of helping kick off one of the largest gatherings in the title industry at #TLTA.
Excited to start Day One moderating a The Great Debate on AI followed by the opening keynote on meaningful connection and best-in-class service in the age of AI!
Last week took me through Berlin, Glastonbury, and Hartford CT, spending time with some of the top real estate attorneys, lenders, realtors, and title agents in the business!
A lot of great conversation around where our industry is headed!

Last week: El Paso > Pittsburgh > State College > Poughkeepsie > NYC. 4,000 miles by plane, 479 by car, and 24 hours of travel time. Worth every second for the conversations, laughs, and time with some of the best realtors, lenders, and title agents in the Northeast. Grateful.๐๐ป

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country
