Agents everywhere are talking about interest rates—but they’re looking in the wrong direction. In this episode, Matt and Garrett explain why life changes are the real force behind buying and selling decisions. Discover how to identify true motivation, stop waiting for “the perfect market,” and focus on the conversations that actually create business. A grounded, practical episode for agents who want to build a stable, life-aligned real estate business.

In today’s real estate landscape, buyers, sellers, and even agents are more confused than ever. Pricing feels unpredictable, micro-markets are shifting, foreclosure conversations are popping up in unexpected places, and most agents are still sending out fluffy marketing that does little to build trust.

In this episode, Matt and Garrett break down what it really means to become the trusted advisor your clients depend on—not the reporter of outdated stats, but the source of timely insights, real conversations, and meaningful guidance.

You’ll learn:

• Why confusion is rising for buyers, sellers, and agents
• The hidden market signals you should be watching right now
• How to gather real intel from your lender partners, inspectors, and even foreclosure attorneys
• Why relying on fluff content destroys trust (and what to send instead)
• How to use Market Impact Reports and education-based marketing to stand apart in
• Why frequency matters—and how to stay top-of-mind without being annoying

This episode gives you the mindset and tools to elevate your role from “the person who sends postcards” to the professional who helps people make smarter decisions in uncertain times.

If you want deeper trust, better conversations, and more referrals—this one’s for you.

AI is everywhere in real estate right now—but not all AI content is helping your business. In fact, some of it is quietly killing trust with your clients.

In this episode, Matt and Garrett dive deep into how some real estate agents are unintentionally damaging their brand by using AI shortcuts, generic content, and inauthentic messaging. They get into real examples, personal stories, and practical strategies for using AI without losing the human touch that makes your business valuable.

Your business is built on relationships. Don’t let careless AI content break what took years to build.

What if the real path to success starts by choosing your life first — and trusting the business will rise to support it?

In this episode, Matt & Garrett sit down with Justin Roethlingshoefer, who walked away from a comfortable tech career to build a life aligned with purpose, energy, and lifestyle.

From surfing at sunrise to finding a community that fuels growth, this conversation explores the courage, curiosity, and discipline it takes to design a life you actually want — and then build the business to match it.

We talk about:

- Choosing lifestyle and fulfillment over titles and safety

- Identity shifts when you leave a “successful career” behind

- How curiosity, coaching, and repetition accelerate change

- Balancing discipline with joy, freedom, and play

- The surprising power of environment and community

- Why confidence follows action — not the other way around

This episode is a reminder: you don’t have to sacrifice your life to build success. When you get aligned, success shows up because of how you live — not in spite of it.

What happens when you stop trying to fit in — and finally start being you?

Recorded live in Dallas–Fort Worth with the Dennis Tuttle Team, this conversation blends inspiration with action — from building a business rooted in service to understanding how love, trust, and individuality drive long-term success in real estate and in life.

In this episode, Matt and Garrett share powerful takeaways from a live event with Nick Vujicic, diving into lessons on authenticity, purpose, fear, parenting, faith, and what it really means to live at the pinnacle of your ability and purpose.

💬 You’ll hear them explore:

• Why “being you” is the most valuable business strategy you’ll ever use
• How money and mission intersect — and why putting purpose first always wins
• What it means to plant seeds of impact in your clients and community
• How to lead with love, gratitude, and unreasonable hospitality
• Why fear fades when you’re aligned with your calling

If you’re a real estate professional, leader, or entrepreneur looking to grow your business without losing yourself in the process, this episode will help you reconnect to your purpose — and show you how to make your goals inevitable by being 100% you.

Sometimes the fastest way to grow your real estate business is to first grow into the person who runs it.

Julie Kaminski joins Matt & Garrett for a fantastic conversation about transformation, rewiring habits, and building a thriving real estate business by starting with your mornings. Julie shares her story of letting go and the exact practices that worked for her.

This episode dives into the quiet power of intentional routines, the courage to release old identities, and the discipline required to become the version of yourself your goals demand.

We explore:

• Why identity shifts fuel business breakthroughs
• The simple morning habits that changed everything
• Moving from “proving yourself” to trusting yourself
• Using routine to access calm, confidence, and clarity
• Releasing ego and building alignment instead
• Letting your life set the tone, not your phone or inbox

This isn’t about hustling harder — it’s about becoming the person who succeeds naturally because of how they live, think, and show up.

If you're ready for a season of becoming, this conversation will light the path.

Most agents think working from home gives them freedom — but for many, it quietly erodes standards, structure, and momentum.

In this episode, Matt & Garrett break down why some agents absolutely thrive with work-at-home environments… and why others slowly drift into distraction, reactivity, and “accidental real estate.” The difference isn’t talent — it’s intention, environment, and discipline.

Let's talk about it, and what tweaks make all the difference.

We get into:

• Why having a “work-from-home plan” matters more than simply working from home
• The real advantage of a structured office environment
• Morning discipline and why it predicts success
• The trap of blending home life & work life
• How to build standards that travel with you
• Creating intentional separation so your energy rises, not leaks

Whether you love the office, love working from home, or bounce between both — this episode will help you build discipline, protect your momentum, and actually win wherever you work.

Stop settling and find where your value matches your ambition.
