Most producers claim they want to dominate in 2026, but they are waiting for permission. They wait for the "perfect time" to invest in themselves, or worse, they wait to see if their "boss will pay for it." This mindset is a one-way ticket to mediocrity. If you aren't willing to bet on yourself when the chips are down, why should anyone else?In this special joint episode, I am joined by my own mindset and performance coach, Christina Lecuyer. We strip away the fluff and deliver the hard truths you need to hear before the new year. We discuss why high achievers struggle so much with self-worth, the danger of waiting for a "guaranteed ROI" before taking action, and why confidence isn't a feeling - it's a muscle you build by keeping promises to yourself. This is the wake-up call you need to stop playing small.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) Bet On Yourself: The Mindset You Need to Win in 2026 (00:03:48) The Moment I Stopped Playing Small (00:06:45) Why Money Without Health is Failure (00:18:19) The High Achiever's Curse: Perfectionism vs. Progress (00:24:36) The Litmus Test: "Will My Boss Pay For It?" (00:33:00) Confidence is a Muscle You Build, Not a FeelingCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Experience matters—especially in a business where cycles, ego, and bad underwriting quietly destroy capital.Rich Somers sits down with Oliver Shah, a hotel broker with more than 30 years in the hospitality industry, to break down what actually works in boutique hotels—and why most people underestimate the complexity behind them. Drawing from decades of transactions, Oliver shares how the best operators think differently about location, asset selection, operations, and long-term value creation.The conversation dives into what separates a strong boutique hotel from a lifestyle project, how to underwrite hotels realistically, and why operational discipline matters more than aesthetic upgrades. Oliver explains where investors get misled, how trends come and go, and why experience across multiple cycles changes the way you evaluate risk and opportunity.Rich and Oliver also explore the realities of hotel brokerage, the mistakes first-time buyers consistently make, and why patience, structure, and operator alignment matter more than chasing “sexy” deals. This episode pulls back the curtain on the unglamorous decisions that ultimately determine whether a boutique hotel thrives or struggles.This is a practical, experience-backed conversation for investors and operators who want to understand hospitality beyond the highlight reel—and build something that actually works over the long term.Join our investor waitlist and stay in the know about our next investor opportunity with Somers Capital: www.somerscapital.com/invest.

This week's Money Wise episode takes a step back to assess where markets stand as the year winds down and the Santa Claus rally remains firmly in focus. With a holiday-shortened trading week and lighter volume, the S&P 500 edged closer to a new all-time closing high, supported by strong performance over the final five trading days of December. The guys discuss why late-year seasonality still matters and how recent gains align with historical Santa Claus rally patterns. Beyond market action, the conversation shifts to the broader economic backdrop. Despite incomplete and delayed data from the recent government shutdown, key indicators point to continued momentum: third-quarter GDP growth came in at a strong 4.3%, savings rates are rising toward 5%, and consumer spending remains a major driver of economic expansion. The Money Wise guys push back on narratives suggesting growth is narrowly driven by AI infrastructure, emphasizing that consumer activity continues to power a significant share of GDP. With year-end optimism intact and early 2026 catalysts on the horizon, the episode reinforces why long-term perspective matters, especially when headlines focus more on costs than growth. The Santa Claus Rally A Santa Claus rally refers to the market's historical tendency to rise during the final trading days of December and the first few days of January. This period is often supported by seasonal optimism, lighter trading volumes, and investors repositioning portfolios for the year ahead. When it occurs, it can help improve overall market sentiment and reinforce confidence after a full year of trading. A strong year-end rally may also provide momentum as markets enter the new year. While not guaranteed, it's a pattern investors often watch closely as a gauge of near-term market tone. In the second hour, the Money Wise guys explore RIA vs. Broker.

Building a personal brand and driving sales usually requires you to be awake, on camera, and actively recording.

Most agency owners treat profit as an afterthought; it's just whatever is left over at the end of the year. This "Bank Balance Accounting" mindset leads to a high-stress cycle of overspending in good months and panicking during tax season. It turns profit into a gamble rather than a guarantee.My guest, fractional CFO Alicia Ostis, joins me on The Broker's Voice to share the specific financial system that flips this equation. We break down the 5-bank-account framework that forces profitability from day one, regardless of your revenue. We also cover the "Drip Account" strategy to survive commission volatility and the exact allocation percentages you need to ensure you, the owner, get paid first every single time. This is the blueprint for guaranteeing your agency's financial health.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) The Accounting System That Guarantees Agency Profit (00:02:45) Why "Bank Balance Accounting" is Losing You Money (00:06:45) The 5-Account Framework: Setting Up the System (00:11:51) The "Drip Account": How to Smooth Out Huge Commission Checks (00:16:29) Scaling the System: Adjusting Percentages as Revenue Grows (00:26:29) Personal Profit: Applying the System to Your Home FinancesCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

When it comes to leasing your shopping center, sticking to the “one broker to do it all” mentality could be your biggest mistake.In this episode of I Own A Shopping Center. Now What?, I'm challenging the conventional wisdom that says one broker can handle every type of vacancy. From big-box spaces to restaurant outparcels, medical offices, and second-floor spaces—each requires specialized expertise. After 30+ years in the game, I've seen firsthand that niche brokers move faster and close deals more efficiently because they already know the tenants you need.If you're stuck with long-term vacancies or your leasing velocity is slower than you'd like, this episode will make you rethink your strategy. Sometimes, the best way to get better results is to challenge the norm and get a little more specific.

In this episode, I sit down with Shannon Hoff, a seasoned mortgage pro who just made a career move that many loan officers quietly think about but rarely act on: shifting from mortgage banker to mortgage broker. Shannon spent 20 years on the banking side, working with only six companies over two decades — and two of those closed their doors. In an industry known for turnover, her track record of stability is rare. That's exactly why her decision to make the switch is such a powerful story. We dig into: What finally pushed her to explore the broker world The biggest surprises (good and bad) after leaving the banking model The key differences she wishes she'd understood earlier How control, product diversity, and borrower solutions factored into her move What she'd tell any loan officer considering the same jump Shannon's journey is honest, grounded, and refreshingly drama-free — no burning bridges, no "banker bashing," just real insight from someone who took the leap after two decades of loyalty. If you're a loan officer wondering whether the broker channel is worth exploring, this episode is like a flashlight in a dark attic… except with fewer spider webs.

In a recent episode of How I Met My Broker, SPI host Liam Garman and director of Strategic Brokers Hung Chuy are joined by director of Australian Property Scout (APS) Sam Gordon to discuss the challenges and opportunities in commercial property investment. Chuy highlights the busy end-of-year lending period, noting that clients are seeking guidance amidst changing market conditions. Gordon reflects on APS's strong growth in 2025, including recognition as Entrepreneur of the Year and inclusion in the Australian Financial Review (AFR) Fast 100, setting the stage for a strategic 2026. The conversation explores the complexities of commercial property, including understanding yields, tax benefits, vacancies, and asset selection, emphasising that insufficient knowledge can lead to costly mistakes. Both Chuy and Gordon stress the importance of building a solid residential portfolio before transitioning into commercial investments to establish equity and minimise risk. Differences between residential and commercial lending were explained, including typical loan-to-value ratios (LVRs) and the potential pitfalls of cross-collateralisation. The trio also highlights the income potential of commercial properties, noting that passing most outgoings to tenants can offer higher net yields than residential assets.

Have you ever looked successful on paper… yet felt like something was quietly off behind the scenes? Like you were winning the game, but not really winning at life? That's exactly the tension we unpack in this episode and trust me, it goes way deeper than money or business tactics.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Ben Wilson for a real, grounded, no-BS conversation about wealth, legacy, faith, and what it actually means to live a life that feels aligned. Ben is the Owner and Broker of Team Wilson Real Estate Partners and one of the most intentional humans I know. His team owns and manages over $300 million in real estate assets and has surpassed $1 billion in total sales, but what really stood out to me from the moment we met wasn't the numbers. It was how he shows up as a husband, father, leader, and man of faith. This episode matters because Ben doesn't just talk about success; he lives it in a way that doesn't sacrifice family, integrity, or joy along the way.We dive into how pain, not ambition, was the catalyst that led Ben into real estate and ultimately reshaped his entire approach to life. One of the biggest takeaways is the idea that you can be “winning” financially and still be losing if you don't understand the rules of the game you're playing. Ben breaks down a powerful framework using the baseball diamond to explain why character has to come first, community second, and contribution third, and how reversing that order creates chaos, stress, and burnout.Another huge lesson from this conversation is Ben's seven non-negotiables for life and leadership. Simple on the surface, but profound in practice: show up, be consistent, have a great attitude, commit for the long haul, live with faith and passion, be willing to pay the price, and always do the next right thing. These aren't motivational quotes. They're daily filters Ben uses to guide his family, his businesses, and his decisions.We also talk deeply about legacy not as something you leave someday, but something you live right now. Ben shares why he believes true wealth is about building enough resources to create harmony across mind, body, and spirit, so you can ultimately give it all away. And maybe my favorite part of the episode? The reminder that fun isn't optional. It's strategic. Focus, fearlessness, and freedom aren't just nice ideas. They're the formula for a life that actually feels worth living.This conversation is packed with wisdom for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone who wants more than just financial success. If you're building a business, raising a family, or trying to figure out how to do both without losing yourself in the process, this episode will meet you right where you are.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Ben says I chose to leave a job so that I could pursue my calling each and every day and literally share it with the world and fill everybody's cup, including my own.Connect with Benhttp://www.facebook.com/TeamWilsonRealEstatehttps://www.instagram.com/teamwilsonrep/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiIiynkk0Gw_rBhFZ1ZHN2ghttps://www.instagram.com/teamwilsonrep/https://twitter.com/TeamWilsonREPFind Ben on this website: https://www.teamwilsontn.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Executives are "corporate athletes," facing the same intense pressure, grueling schedules, and high stakes as professional athletes - but without the training, recovery, or support. Most leaders run on adrenaline and caffeine until they hit a wall, mistaking burnout for a badge of honor. It's a dangerous game that sacrifices health for short-term gains.My guest, Pete Mueller, has been coaching executives since 1990, and he's here with a new game plan. In this episode, we break down how to stop treating your body like a machine and start training it for longevity. We get into the critical role of "neuromuscular resets," why strength training is the currency of longevity, and the simple, sacred habits you need to implement now to sustain high performance without the crash.

"Efficiency is the new equity." In the traditional agency model, growth usually means hiring more people to do more manual work. This linear relationship eats into your margins, complicates your operations, and ultimately caps your agency's valuation. To truly scale, you have to break the link between revenue growth and headcount.My guest, Rodney Mattos Sr., returns to the show to break down the math behind this shift. In this episode, we explore how his platform allows agencies to move from "people hours" to "precision hours." We get into the financial mechanics of how reducing OpEx through automation doesn't just increase profit - it expands your EBITDA multiple, exponentially increasing your enterprise value. This is the strategy for building a predictable, high-value agency that investors love.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionKEY MOMENTS(00:00:00) How AI Multiplies Agency Value (00:16:18) The "Post Office" Solution: Solving Data Gridlock (00:23:41) The Mirror Effect: Technology That Reflects Human Judgment (00:35:28) The Math: How Efficiency Expands Your Multiple (00:41:47) The Shift From "People Hours" to "Precision Hours" (01:05:03) The Goal is Freedom, Not Fewer PeopleCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

What turns a kid from Brooklyn into a leader who builds and rebuilds big businesses, then starts over again by choice? Meet Mike Tepedino, Founder and Managing Partner of Blue Light Capital, whose path runs from six gritty years in loan workouts on the “what can go wrong” side of real estate became the foundation for everything that followed.We get into the leap to brokerage, the Chinese-restaurant meeting that set up HFF's rise, and the 2019 sale to JLL for about $2 billion, where scale brought new tools and reach but also a fresh look at purpose and timing.Now Mike is building again with Blue Light Capital, stepping into an underserved middle-market bridge space in the roughly $15 to $50 million range, and pairing that with BLNext, a nonprofit that trains college and pro athletes for real estate careers with 150 hours of Excel and Argus plus one-to-one mentors who have walked the path.If you care about discipline, people, and timing, this conversation delivers hard lessons and practical wisdom with zero fluff. Watch the full episode to hear how Mike thinks about focus, why small habits like handwritten notes still matter, and what it takes to start again when everyone thinks you are done. 00:00 – Welcome to the Show00:44 – Who Was “Little Mike”?

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicks off with a sharp look at global and political headlines, starting with President Trump’s announcement of a U.S.–brokered peace deal between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda—despite skepticism from experts who note that rebel groups weren’t included and conflict remains ongoing. The team also examines concerns over the U.S. benefiting from Congolese minerals while Congolese citizens remain on the American travel ban list. Meanwhile, in a story that stunned listeners, the crew discusses the tragic shooting death of Chicago mother Remika Meeks-Blackmon, with new details showing the alleged shooter was romantically tied to the same man—who shockingly fist-bumped her afterward.

The insurance industry often hires for pedigree: the right degree, the right school, and a polished background. But my guest, Misty Carson, proves that grit outperforms a resume every time. Her journey starts in extreme poverty in a trailer park, navigating life as a teen mom, and leads all the way to the top of the insurance game.In this episode, Misty shares the raw reality of how she went from surviving to thriving. We discuss how she translated the hustle of the car sales floor into insurance success, why non-traditional talent is the industry's biggest missed opportunity, and how she turned being "battle-tested" into her greatest competitive advantage.

Race relations and health equity are among the pressing social issues being discussed at Thriving Together Atlanta’s Equitable Dinners series. Since January 2020, more than 12,000 people from across the metro Atlanta area have gathered for challenging conversations over a hot meal, with a side of performance art. Program Manager Adria Kitchens joins “Closer Look” to talk more about the origin and impact of the Equitable Dinners series. According to an Atlanta-area broker, the metro area has seen a negative net migration - meaning more people are moving out than moving in. That’s in addition to new data that says Atlanta is now among 39 metro areas that recently flipped from being an affordable place to buy a home to being a place where it’s now cheaper to rent. Scott Pratt, a real estate broker and owner of Pratt & Associates Realty, talks more about the housing market, the Trump administration’s proposed 50-year mortgage plan and explains why he still encourages people to become homeowners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Mitch McGinley, founder of Boutique Fitness Broker, joins the podcast to share how he transformed a struggling yoga studio into a 5× exit and went on to help over 70 owners sell their businesses. He talks about growing his brokerage to $20M in annual deals, the emotional ups and downs of exiting, and the common mistakes owners make when preparing for a sale. Mitch opens up about navigating COVID, learning disciplined focus, and building a business that now supports his dream life in Spain. His journey blends resilience, smart strategy, and deep passion for helping small business owners achieve life-changing exits. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? Mitch McGinley says the hardest thing in growing a small business is learning how to say no. He explains that owners constantly get pulled in different directions — ideas, opportunities, people, problems — and without the discipline to say no, you end up overwhelmed and unfocused. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Mitch McGinley says his favorite business book is "Built to Sell" because it clearly explains how to shape a business into a scalable, well-structured operation that can run without the owner and eventually be sold for strong value, making it one of the most useful guides he's ever read. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Mitch McGinley says there are many great podcasts and online learning resources to help grow a small business, but instead of naming just one, he recommends continuously listening to a wide variety of shows and learning platforms because each one offers unique perspectives, lessons, and insights that can help business owners improve their skills, sharpen their thinking, and stay adaptable as their business grows. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Mitch McGinley says that the number one tool or resource he recommends for growing a small business is artificial intelligence, because owners who don't embrace AI right now risk falling behind, while those who use it can save time, make smarter decisions, improve marketing, and operate far more efficiently. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Mitch McGinley says the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is simply "It's gonna be okay." He explains that the journey is full of stress, doubt, and unexpected challenges, but looking back, he realizes that things always work out when you stay consistent, keep learning, and push through the hard moments.
