From Afghanistan to the Gold Coast: Clint Hynes on Leadership, Integrity & Putting the 'Real' Back in Real Estate
From Afghanistan to the Gold Coast: Clint Hynes on Leadership, Integrity & Putting the 'Real' Back in Real Estate Clint Hynes spent 15 years in the Australian Army - including four tours of Afghanistan with the Special Operations community and two commendations for distinguished service - before walking out of uniform and into his family's real estate business 13 years ago to the day. Today he's the #1 Selling Principal for Ray White on the Gold Coast with over 800 sales under his belt, leading the Ray White NCO Group across Nerang, Canungra and Oxenford. In this episode of The Access Point, host Barry Minton sits down with Clint for an unfiltered conversation about what actually translates from the battlefield to the boardroom - and what doesn't. They cover growing up in country Tasmania with a rifle rack above his bed at 10, the Bali bombings, life inside SOCOM, and why empathy is the single trait he hires for above all else. What you'll take away: Why "any plan is better than no plan" and how to bond teams around it How to deal with the problem, not the emotion Why integrity is the one word every operator should look up in a dictionary before using The "rocks and sand" framework for prioritising your week Why the best leaders know how to follow and the milk-run story that taught one young agent the hard way How to spot character when there's nothing in it for the other person If you're in sales, construction, leadership, or you're just trying to figure out what kind of operator you want to become - this one is worth your time.
