The Engagement Engine is a visual framework that helps you design a business built around your strengths, your energy, and your people.

Instead of copying scripts, chasing trends, or forcing yourself into systems you hate, Matt and Garrett break down how to design the right mix of engagement for YOU—one that creates momentum without burnout.

In this episode, they cover how to:

1. Identify which engagement activities actually move your business forward
2. Balance scalable outreach with high-impact personal connection
3. Set clear standards instead of vague goals
4. Build consistent momentum without burning yourself out

Whether it’s email, texts, phone calls, events, or face-to-face conversations, this episode shows how each form of engagement plays a role—and how to combine them into a system that actually works.

Why do we create chaos we don’t need?

Why, when things are finally calm and working, do we shake the snow globe and send our world swirling again?

In this episode, Matt and Garrett break down the subtle ways we introduce unnecessary chaos into our businesses and lives—and how to finally stop the cycle. From switching brokerages, to revamping marketing plans, to adding new systems when the old ones aren’t even being used, this conversation shines a light on the real cost of constant change.

We get into the “20% drag” rule, the More–Better–New framework, and the deeper mindset patterns that push us toward reinvention instead of optimization. If you want more clarity, more momentum, and less self-induced turbulence heading into 2026, this episode is your reset moment.

In this episode:

• Why we shake the snow globe even when things are going well
• The hidden drag that comes with every “big change”
• More–Better–New: the framework that keeps you focused
• Why business planning season sparks unnecessary reinvention
• When a change is wise—and when it’s pure distraction
• How to realign your decisions with your mission, vision, and core values
• Why consistency is the most underrated growth strategy

If you’re ready to quiet the blizzard and build momentum with intention, this is the episode to start with.

🎧 Listen now. Keep the snow settled. Grow with clarity.

Why do today's buyers have a harder time committing to a property than in 2021? It is easy to chalk up to "the market" but really, it's the motivation.

Garrett and Matt unpack the critical shift every agent needs to understand. You see, COVID-era buyers were escaping pain (survival moves), while today's buyers are chasing a vision (dream moves).

This single distinction explains why buyers are more discerning, why deals fall apart mid-transaction, and why the old "let's go write an offer" approach isn't working like it used to.

Learn how to slow down, ask better questions, and guide buyers toward clarity—because when buyers are clear, they move fast.

Bonus: Matt and Garrett also cover the weekly conversation framework that keeps deals together and creates raving fans.

Topics covered: buyer psychology, preventing buyer remorse, customer service calls, navigating the 2024-2025 real estate market, building trust with discerning buyers.

Ever get surprised by a friend you are close to who lists their property with another agent? We promise it's most likely not personal — even though it feels like a gut punch - it's friction!

In this episode, Garrett and Matt break down the invisible roadblocks inside your business that push clients toward the “path of least resistance,” even when they genuinely want to work with you.

You’ll learn:

• The four personality types and how each one experiences friction
• How your current onboarding process may be quietly sending people elsewhere
• Why “being helpful” isn’t the same as “being easy to work with”
• How to remove unnecessary hurdles while still staying in control
• What to do the moment someone mentions real estate (this is GOLD)
• Practical scripts, mindset shifts, and process upgrades that make you the obvious choice

Whether you’re attracting new clients, nurturing your sphere, or trying to level up referrals, this episode gives you the clarity and strategy to become the agent people naturally move toward — not around.

A smoother process. Less resistance. More business.

Let’s go.

One of the most powerful practices in life and business: gratitude. Not as a cliché, not as a holiday checkbox—but as a daily ritual that can shift your energy, break old patterns, and bring peace into every part of your world.

Today we explore how gratitude creates instant emotional transformation, why it works even on the hardest days, and how it elevates the people around you. You’ll hear real stories from their own routines, the science-backed benefits, and simple ways to deploy gratitude when you’re stressed, stuck, or pulled off center.

Whether you’re celebrating today or listening any time of year, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with the small things, the big things, and the people who make your life meaningful.

If you're ready for more clarity, more peace, and a deeper sense of purpose—this conversation will take you there.
