"At the end of the day, I can be proud of what I do and what my team does." Meet Adam Johnson, one of my favorite people in real estate. In this transformational episode, we explore Adam's journey from losing everything in one year, to building a thriving real estate business. Adam is a master storyteller, and we go through multiple interesting deals, exploring the lessons Adam learned from each deal including his unique approach to goal-setting, his focus on helping people, his advice for building empathy, and ultimately, how to adopt a "helper, not a haggler" mindset.

"Fear and imposter syndrome are just part of the process." I'm really excited to share my incredible conversation with Michelle Miralles, a wholesaler who is accomplishing awesome things in VA.

We talked about how Michelle is able to ace her responsibilities as a mom, a business owner and a wholesaler by valuing her time and managing it intentionally.

We also talked about the way she built her courage and prepared her mind to start wholesaling, how she's developed a niche with the Spanish speaking community, and how to think creatively when setting up deals (both for wholesalers and buyers).
