This is a short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video by Steve D Valentine about taking advice in real estate. He contrasts his father (skilled but resistant to advice) and the older industry culture of secrecy with a modern emphasis on collaboration and open sharing among peers (e.g., masterminds, sharing successful methods).

My dad was a workaholic and he was awesome at what he did, but my dad was shitty at taking advice. He wouldn't seek counsel. Right. He wouldn't come to a mastermind and seek the relationships and things like that. And I think that is something with the old guard in our industry. They were very close minded. You go back 20 years ago, nobody was sharing anything. Brian and Ben weren't up here going like, we're going to open up everything that's made us successful and share it with you and yes, you're going to make the investment, but back then nobody wants to share anything. You were competition. And I believe all of us nowadays, it's about collaboration, not competition. And the more we collaborate, the better off the industry is.
