Ask Me Anything and takeaways of the day featuring Andy, Randy, Beau, and Abe.
When real estate agents struggle, the first thing they do is blame the market: the interest rates, the inventory, the leads. But the truth is, that's not why agents are failing. The truth is simpler and more uncomfortable. Most agents fail because they overcomplicate what actually works. They treat real estate like a hobby, showing up when they feel like it and wondering why their results are unpredictable. They think they are following up and nurturing leads, when all they are doing is notifying people. What does it take to win in a slow market? How do you align your habits with the success you want? In this episode, we break down the hard truths about why agents fail, and what separates those who last from those who leave. Things You'll Learn In This Episode Overcomplication kills performance Agents often add layers of busywork to justify their commissions. What would happen if you focused only on the actions that directly lead to appointments? Treat it like a business, not a hobby Most agents have no real plan or structure. How does your day change when you start thinking like an entrepreneur instead of an employee? Structure beats hustle Working “24/7” isn't a badge of honor; it's a lack of boundaries. How does consistency in your schedule create both results and freedom? Conversations = closings There's still a direct correlation between the people you talk to and the deals you close. How would your year look if you built your day around that one rule? About Your Hosts Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer, and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group. He has been in the real estate business for over 30 years and has received professional training from coaches such as Mike, Matthew, Tom Ferry, Chet Holmes, and Tony Robbins.

The Harrelson Group has been the leading office in the Myrtle Beach real estate market for years, and they have recently added a new office in Charleston, SC. Abe Safa is a highly experienced real estate expert with over two decades in the industry.

Every new agent has heard the old saying: “You have to list to last.” The industry myth is that the fastest way to big numbers is chasing listings. But here's the truth: being a listing agent isn't just about getting a few signs in the yard. It's an entirely different business model. Buyer's agents mostly service leads that come to them. Listing agents? They generate leads out of thin air. That's why most people who say they want to be listing agents back off the second they realize what it takes: daily prospecting, mastering conversations, and building the confidence to win face-to-face at the kitchen table. How do you actually become a dominant listing agent? Why do so many listing agents struggle with listings? In this episode, we break down the real difference between buyer and listing agents. We discuss why your presentation skills may matter even more than your prospecting. Things You'll Learn In This Episode Listing agent = lead generator Being a listing agent isn't about waiting for opportunities; it's about creating them. How do you build your entire schedule around prospecting? Why confidence beats scripts Agents who fear giving a weak presentation avoid setting appointments altogether. How does mastering your presentation actually unlock more leads? Sellers sell on logic, not emotion Buyers dream about how a home feels. Sellers focus on data and dollars. How do you use market knowledge to justify your recommendations with hard logic? About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

It's no secret that the child welfare system can be frustrating for children, their biological families, and foster families alike. More often than not, agency workers are the people who have to carry the brunt of this frustration. Yet, if we were to take a look behind the scenes, we would see individuals who care deeply about children and families and are doing their best to secure positive outcomes for the people they serve—but they are overworked, overwhelmed, and often trying to keep up with ever-changing policies. My guest for this conversation is deeply familiar with nearly every part of the child welfare system, from investigations and licensing to prevention and support. Abraham Choate has spent years serving children and families through the Washington Department of Children, Youth, and Families. He's also a licensed social worker who provides counseling part-time. Abe's story and perspective offer us a unique look into the realities of child welfare, helping us understand how we can better support and partner with our local workers. In this episode, Abraham shares some of the inner workings on the agency side of child welfare, the stressful environment agency workers are thrust into, the importance of everyone having healthy boundaries, and much more.

In Ep. 108, Ray Powell and Jim Carouso interview CNN Tokyo correspondent Hanako Montgomery about the historic election of Sanae Takaichi as Japan's first female prime minister, exploring her background, conservative policies, and the geopolitical challenges she faces amid rising regional tensions and domestic economic woes. The discussion highlights Takaichi's rise: how she broke through Japan's traditional patriarchal barriers, and how she will navigate its complex domestic politics and the rapidly changing Indo-Pacific geostrategic picture.Sanae Takaichi, formerly the economic security minister, emerged as Japan's fourth prime minister since Shinzo Abe's 2020 departure, marking a milestone as the country's first woman in the role despite Japan's low G7 ranking in gender parity. Unlike many politicians who come from dynasties, her background includes a TV anchor career in the mid-1990s, where she discussed politics and society, while her parents were a police officer and a car company worker. Known for her colorful personality (including a love for motorcycles and heavy metal music), she is a self-described workaholic and Abe protégé, advocating conservative stances like revising Japan's pacifist constitution, boosting defense spending to 2% of GDP, and opposing same-sex marriage.Takaichi's election comes during a period of turmoil for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which lost its parliamentary majority in recent elections amid scandals like unreported slush funds and ties to controversial groups linked to Abe's assassin. The long-dominant LDP now relies on a new coalition, creating an identity crisis between its conservative roots and younger reformers. Her "Sanaenomics"--looser fiscal policies, increased government spending, and inflation relief via billions in subsidies for household items--differs from Abenomics but faces hurdles from her coalition's fiscally conservative views and Japan's demographic crisis, including low birth rates and immigration crackdowns. Markets reacted positively with the Nikkei 225 hitting records post-election, but the yen also weakened, signaling investor excitement tempered by fiscal risks.Takaichi inherits a fraught Indo-Pacific landscape, with her hawkish views on China, including criticisms of its militarization, espionage by Chinese residents, and even ugly tourist behavior, drawing Beijing's ire via state media warnings that Japan is at a "crossroads." Her April Taiwan visit, pushing defense and economic ties without U.S. centrality, has heightened tensions, though economic interdependence may prompt pragmatic diplomacy during upcoming APEC and ASEAN meetings.Takaichi previously vowed female representation in her cabinet but appointed only two women, emphasizing qualifications over gender in a male-dominated field, surprising some observers. Comparisons to Margaret Thatcher abound for her symbolic strength as a first female leader; however, there are policy differences between the two.Takaichi's tenure could reshape Japan's role amid uncertainties about U.S. commitment and China's assertiveness in areas such as the Senkaku Islands, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, with public support growing for constitutional revision and defense hikes due to perceived threats. Her success hinges on economic delivery--tackling inflation and wages--while balancing alliances.

He is slated to start at the moment, but will we see another situation that dug them a hole last year? You have to nitice when pain in impacting play.

Disclaimer: this episode discusses sexual violence and abuse. It's a film from beloved director Satoshi Kon that exhibits a great amount of empathy and examination of the male/celebrity gaze. It's a complex narrative that is definitely worth a watch. This episode contains discussions of those scenes as well as a thorough discussion of how Adam became Abe's dad.
