In celebration of our 50th episode today, we look back at some of our favorites. We pull clips from four different episodes and explain why they were so meaningful to us. We reflect on their themes of overcoming obstacles, living intentionally, giving back, goal setting, authenticity, commitment, collaboration, and multi-generational wealth building.

Plus, we have a conversation about why we undertake this podcast week after week. We do it for the culture: to mentor, to learn, to grow together, to share tactics and strategies, to uplift our community.

Thank you for being part of our movement. Here’s to the next 50 episodes and many more!

Global financial crisis, illness, divorce, foreclosure, death of a child—Julia has experienced it all and more. Numerous times, she has lost everything and had to start over. That’s incredibly difficult for anyone, but for real estate professionals, that can be nearly impossible.

Today, Julia shares with us how to start over. She gives us tips on how to get your mind right. She teaches us how to use lessons learned to make our business more risk-proof. Most importantly, she explains how to use crises to build your confidence.

Success is not a linear path. Most people who make money also experience losing money. Sometimes, you have to burn it all down and start over. But you can rise again.

It’s only an opportunity if you’re prepared. If you’re not prepared, you’re just having a conversation. That’s why, in this episode, we’re going to coach you on being prepared to seize opportunities as they arise.

We talk about getting your mind right: meditating, journaling, and developing a vision for your life.

We discuss getting your resources prepared, whether that means money or other resources like education, relationships, etc.

We also go through the checklist you should have on hand to evaluate opportunities when they do arise. What’s the biggest benefit possible? What’s the biggest risk? How much work is involved? How passionate are you about it?

As real estate professionals, opportunities will arise if you pursue them and are prepared. We hope this episode helps you do just that.

Don’t wish it were easier—focus on getting better. That’s our mantra as we do our mid-year reflection and preparation for what comes next.

Inventory is down, interest rates are up, and the legal landscape makes it harder for agents to get paid. If you do the same amount of work the same way you always have, you’re probably going to earn less moving forward. But don’t dwell on that because there is a way forward.

We dive into the solutions. Get better at your listening and dialogue skills to create “emotional stickiness.” Brush up on your knowledge of financing. Make strategic investments.

The real estate market swings. It always has. We’re focused on being resilient in the hard times to be prepared to reap rewards in the good times.

Today, we’re diving deep into one of the foundational pillars of wealth building: leadership. For many of us on this journey, leadership isn’t just about guiding ourselves—it’s about leading our families, our businesses, and the people within those businesses.

In this episode, we explore the intricacies of leadership and the challenges that come with it. Whether you’re leading your own path or guiding others, the journey is filled with trials and tribulations. Our experiences as operating principals of a franchised brokerage have shown us firsthand the complexities of leadership.

We’ll share our thoughts and stories about leading others. We'll discuss how leaders face both praise and criticism, often from the same people, and how to navigate these ups and downs with resilience.

It’s rare for two real estate professionals from the same area and same brokerage to be named as REALTOR Magazine’s 30 under 30 Rising Stars finalists. But once you meet Moti Shiferaw and Isaiah Hazward, you realize they are truly special people.

Moti and Isaiah join us on today’s episode. We learn about their backgrounds and motivations. Moti comes from an Ethiopian immigrant family who never owned their own home, which is why he now specializes in working with that community to help folks achieve home ownership. Isaiah’s parents were contractors– by the time he signed up for his real estate license at the age of 19, he already knew the developments in the DMV and Baltimore area like the back of his hand.

These young men share with us wisdom beyond their years: How they handle adversity, build their businesses, and connect the black community to home ownership. Take a listen and know that the future of real estate is in good hands.

“Go make friends” is the number one item on Rob Chavez’s and Justin Myers’ to-do list every day. Rob is the Founder and Justin is the Director of Expansion for the GRID Network. They join us today for a conversation about the importance of relationship-building among agents and real estate investors.

GRID stands for Grow your network, Relationships transform lives, Invest in people and assets, and Develop leaders and build wealth. What started out as Rob meeting up with five likeminded people has grown to a network of 30,000 people across 40 different cities. Today, GRID is a broker-agnostic community that puts agents at the center of real estate investment conversations.

We have a great discussion with Rob and Justin about the power of “being in the right room.” We also talk about how real estate agents, no matter where they are in their journey, need to grow their leadership capabilities. Plus we touch on long term investments and turning cash machines into wealth machines.

There’s nothing like a good conversation with folks who understand the power of community and real estate to close the wealth gap in America. Enjoy our chat with Rob and Justin!
