Everyone is talking about interest rates, but that is not the biggest thing holding buyers back right now.

In this episode, we explore the real forces we need to be talking about.

More importantly, we get into how you should be educating your clients right now, why "we'll buy when rates drop" is a broken plan, and what you can do to help your clients move forward in a way that is in their best interest.

If you want to be the agent people trust when the market is confusing — not just when it’s easy — this is the episode.

Success in real estate doesn't need to mean sacrificing your peace, your family, or your faith.

Today, we sit down with Garrett Maroon — founder of The Faithful Agent and author of The Balanced Breakthrough — to unpack how he built a 50-home-a-year referral business in under 40 hours a week, all while staying true to his values.

We get into:

• How to build a referral-based business that honors your life
• The Hierarchy of Attention for balancing faith, family, and work
• Why the industry’s idea of success is broken — and how to redefine it
• The system Garrett used to create freedom and consistency
• What happens when you bring authenticity and faith into your business

Garrett’s message is simple (and powerful!):

Your business should serve your life — not consume it.

Ever feel stuck in a cycle of "not enough"?

Whether you’re a real estate agent, entrepreneur, or someone getting stuck in the feeling of “not enough,” this episode will help you reframe your thinking, reclaim your energy, and create more abundance in every part of your life.

Garrett and Matt dive deep into the connection between gratitude, mindset, and abundance — and why the life (and business) you want doesn’t come from grinding harder, but from shifting how you see the world.

They unpack the real difference between scarcity and abundance, how your energy and focus attract or repel opportunity, and why gratitude isn’t just a feel-good exercise — it’s a cause, not an effect.

💡 You’ll Learn:

• Why gratitude creates abundance (not the other way around)
• How to shift out of scarcity thinking in real time
• The difference between contentment and complacency
• Why your environment and relationships amplify (or drain) your energy
• How to use gratitude to rewire your mindset for growth

Let's get to living a Life at Ten Tenths!

In a world that’s all about “more” — more leads, more clients, more hustle — what if the secret to building a real estate business that fuels you instead of burns you out… was actually about less?

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, we sit down with Fort Collins REALTOR® Paul Schnaitter, who discovered the counterintuitive secret to real estate success: slowing down, focusing on fewer people, and serving them at a higher level.

Paul shares his journey from burnout to abundance, revealing how he rebuilt his business around energy, relationships, and intention.

By simplifying his database, saying “no” more often, and putting his family and health first, he found more fulfillment—and more referrals—than ever before.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin chasing the next deal, this conversation is your reminder that real success comes from alignment, not exhaustion.

👉 Inside this episode:

• How Paul turned burnout into clarity and abundance
• The mindset shift that changed his business and his life
• Building a referral business rooted in connection, not cold leads
• What it looks like to prioritize family, health, and energy
• Why doing less with greater intention leads to bigger results
