Chapter 1: How did Bek Lover transform his personal tragedy into triumph?
What I regret the most about losing my brother, for example, wasn't just the loss of him. When I look back now, it's like, oh my God, I lost three years. Three years of my life in sorrow. Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another exciting episode of Make Unplugged. And I'm excited to be in person in studio with someone that I've looked up to forever. He doesn't know this. He's about to hear it for the first time on how he inspired me to really go deep in my podcast. We're talking to the former head leader. He told me he did everything timeshare. He was the timeshare guru. Legend.
The ethical timeshare guru. Ethical timeshare. That's a very rare breed. My man, Mr. Beck Lover. Beck, how you doing, brother?
Mick, nice to see you, brother.
Good to see you, too.
Welcome to the Big Apple. Long time coming. What's left of it. Long time coming, man. A couple of big bites got taken out of it the last four years, but we're trying to put it back together. We're going to put it back together.
I believe in us. God willing. I believe in us, man. So much I want to talk to you about, but I wanted to tell you, man, face to face, brother to brother, you're one of the people that inspired me when I started the podcast to really be myself. Because if there's anything about you, you're yourself unapologetically. And so I said, wait a second, this is my podcast.
I can do what I want, talk about what I want with no repercussion. And it was after listening to like 10, I binge listened to like 10 of your episodes. And I said, I can be me. It's okay. No one controls me on what I do. This is my voice. And I want to thank you to your face for giving me that. You sure you didn't?

Chapter 2: Why does Mick Hunt admire Bek Lover?
Do you?
You've seen it in action, huh? Yes, sir. What's up?
Now, there is a thin line, right? Pitching heat. Sizzling too much. Flat out line. And I've seen in the industry, and that's why the industry, it's really not the product's fault. The reason Timeshare has such a bad reputation out there is because of all the dishonest salespeople. Of misrepresenting what the product does just to get a sale.
I'm happy in my entire career, and I worked for the big three, brother. I worked for Marriott, Hilton. Very short time period with Wyndham. And I'm happy that in my career that I did there, it wasn't long, about seven years in that world, never once did I have someone ever come back to me and say, you lied to us, or you did this, or a formal complaint.
The only letter I ever got in my entire career in Timeshare was the guy wanted a two-bedroom And in New York City, the units operated like two bedrooms, but they weren't. They weren't, yeah. And I told them this, and they saw it, and they still purchased it, but he's like, no, I changed my mind. It's not Beck's fault. That was the worst letter I ever got in my career.
And one of the most high-pressure environments you can be in.
Yeah.
And as a salesperson in that world, the stress that a timeshare... This is what breaks a lot of them, brother. You're on a wheel, right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And it's called value per guest. So... I see X amount of customers a month, I get a rank. And the higher my rank is, the more often I go out. The more often I go out, the more money I can make.
So if I'm not closing, eventually I fall off the wheel. I'm dead. I'm done. I'm not earning a living. There's no salary. So it's a very intense process. So, you were considered good if you had like a value per guest. It means every time you shuck a hand, the company is making $3,000 to $4,000. That was considered good. Okay. I was averaging like $7,000 to $10,000, $12,000. Wow.
