From dealing with the mental warfare realtors face, to why most agents say they want growth but aren't willing to own their actions, Tanya cuts straight to the core of what holds agents back.The episode dives deep into why traditional coaching models are becoming outdated, how personalization beats plug-and-play systems, and why most agents don't need more scripts—they need more truth. Tanya shares stories from her own real estate journey, her time as a top-producing agent in multiple states, and how she diagnoses what's really stopping her clients from growing. Whether you're closing 20 deals a year or stuck in analysis paralysis, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and permission to get real with your goals.Ben and Tanya also break down how to quiet the noise in today's market, when to hire a coach (and when not to), and why your week might be worth firing yourself over.

It's funny. When I reflected on my conversation with Carol Foderick, this week's guest on Chiseled, I was amused that she is known as "the hardest working woman in realestate," yet she prioritizes her life outside the office.And then it made sense to me. Working hard at a career is one thing, but creating work-life balance is a whole other level of effort. As you will learn this week, Carol is the epitome of discovering the balance between leadershipand friendship, mothering and managing, and reflection and action. Carol started out in real estate working as a front deskreceptionist while finishing college. Now, her real estate group has 32 people and closes 354 transactions in a year. She has invested in recreational, rental, and multi-unit real estate, owns a renovation company and a staging company,and 90 percent of her business comes from repeat customers and direct referrals."It truly takes a community effort of a lot of like-minded individuals coming together," she said.Carol is also one of the Buffini White Hats, which, if you regularly listen to this program, you know is part of the elite coaching group I have been connected to for 25 years.  "I always tell people the first check that I write of the year is to my Buffini coach and for my Buffini system because they have gotten me here. They are going to be the absolute last thing I abandon," she said.That's a business decision. Personally, Carol is even more committed to her family. As a woman, it is a constant juggle to be successful in the workplace while also putting family first. But as she explains in a very poignant story, being the hardest working woman in real estate isn't going to make it on herepitaph."My tombstone is (not) going to say 'Ran a team of 32,'" she said.Carol has a lot on her plate, and being a fast talker with an entrepreneurial mindset she gives listeners a lot to digest this week. I am sure you will gain many valuable insights from her. You can connect with Carol at her email address:carol@carolfoderick.com

BUILD A BETTER BUSINESS | As real estate agents, we work largely by referral but so many of us are afraid to directly ask for referrals! Most people are happy to refer but haven't been taught how or aren't thinking about it. Angela talks to two top agents who have built referral-based businesses using the Buffini & Co. system of methodically asking for referrals: Brandi Nelson and Jessica Gilligan. They discuss how they've internalized various referral dialogues and made them their own, how to become more comfortable with the direct ask, how to include the ask indirectly in marketing messages, and the importance of building organic relationships to make the ask less sales-y and more relational.  Speakers: Angela Fisher, Director of Agent Development Brandi Nelson, top agent in Ames, IA Jessica Gilligan, top agent in Ankeny, IA Brandi Nelson has been a licensed real estate agent since 2004 and is a top agent who works primarily in the Ames, IA area. She is a former winner of the Signature Award. Jessica Gilligan has been a licensed real estate agent since 2016 and leads the Jessica Gilligan Real Estate Team. She is a top producer primarily serving the Ankeny area and is the 2023 Signature Award winner.  ----- Subscribe to the More Than More Podcast for new weekly episodes as we discuss building meaningful and impactful businesses, careers, and lives through real estate.

I have a question for all the business owners out there: Is your 2025 business plan ready? It's nearly Christmas. You should be done with your list and checked it twice. Wherever you are in your plan, I want to give you and anyone else who is ready to wrap up 2024 a Christmas gift: a true story about faith and the cascade of abundance that comes with it. For Chiseled listeners in my Buffini and Company coaching group, you may already know this week's guest, Greg Chaplain. Raised Catholic in Massachusetts, Greg's family always had a relationship with God. Yet, it wasn't until he was 23, when he met a businessman at an Amway convention, that he accepted the Gospel and Christ as his savior. The commitment to walk in faith would guide him well over the next 35+ years. Fast forward 16 years to 2004, Greg was working in the wine industry as a regional leader with a $100 million budget at his fingertips. He managed his company through eight acquisitions, but after a final $1.6 billion deal, he was let go. For many people, losing a high-powered job at 39 years old with a new mortgage, a homemaker wife, and two children in private school would have been a terrifying blow. Not for Greg. He was calm and cool — so much so that a friend in his Christian fellowship expressed surprise by Greg's reticent response to this career broadside. "That was the moment that I went, 'Oh yeah, I really do have faith. It's a real thing. I can actually feel it. My heart's at peace. I am not worried. I know we're going to be fine,'" he said. While confidently interviewing for one of many corporate positions over the next three months, Greg started taking real estate classes on the side. The week that he passed his real estate exam, four hot job prospects, any of which could have been perfect for him, all dried up. The message was obvious. "I looked at the sky and said, 'Really? This is what you want me to do?'" he recounted. Greg joined a real estate company where he would hone his skills and empower himself to start his own team. In 2009, he opened the Real Estate Home Team in Norfolk, Virginia. The team kept hitting higher and higher peaks — until it fell apart. Undeterred, Greg rebooted, and his new team grew and grew — to more than 365 transactions a year. That's more than one a day!  Then the bottom fell out again.  I'll let Greg tell the rest of the story, but as his longtime friend and a true believer myself, I can tell you that Greg is my Rocky — it's not how hard he falls, it's how many times he gets back up. Greg's resiliency is a great story in faith. I am happy to share it with you this Christmas season and hope your holidays, whatever you celebrate, are meaningful and joyous. I can't wait to see and hear from you in 2025. By the way, if you want to talk to Greg about buying and selling in Norfolk, becoming an agent, or how your faith walk is going, he shares how to reach him at the end of this week's podcast. Happy listening.

In this enlightening episode, I sit down with Amy Somerville, CEO of Success Enterprises, to explore the intersections of personal growth, professional development, and leadership. We discuss the role of fear, the power of leading with love, and the importance of creating meaningful impact in both work and family life. Amy's vulnerability and insights make this conversation deeply inspiring and actionable for leaders striving to balance success with purpose.Guest IntroductionAmy Somerville is the Chief Executive Officer of SUCCESS Enterprises, a multi-platform media company that includes the iconic SUCCESS Magazine, SUCCESS Coaching, and SUCCESS.com.Amy is a mission-driven leader with demonstrated success in developing highly effective teams, delivering dynamic learning strategies, and building engaged communities.

By confronting fear and choosing love instead, we can foster proactive, intentional leadership.Love as a Leadership PracticeLeading with love involves gratitude, acknowledgment, and celebration. It shifts focus from self-protection to creating connection and driving growth.Vulnerability is StrengthVulnerability isn't weakness; it's the foundation of growth. By admitting what we don't know and embracing transparency, we create trust and authenticity.Balancing Personal and Professional LifeLife and work are interconnected. Recognizing the tensions and reflecting on priorities can help us navigate seasons of growth in both realms.Legacy: What You Leave In, Not ForTrue impact lies in what you instill in others—not just what you leave behind.Key Quotes“Fear or love—you get to choose. Your choice shapes your actions and the impact you have on others.”“Stop trying to separate life and work; they exist together. Lead with purpose in both.”“Legacy isn't what you leave for people—it's what you leave in them.”“When you lead with vulnerability, you allow others to trust, connect, and grow with you.”Overcoming FearAmy shares how fear once limited her confidence, particularly with public speaking. By confronting those fears and choosing growth, she transformed her challenges into strengths.Love Over Fear in ActionAmy provides a recent example of preparing for a high-stakes board meeting. Shifting her mindset from fear-driven defensiveness to love-driven gratitude changed the tone and outcome of her presentation.The Value of ReflectionRegular self-assessment helps leaders identify areas of growth, recalibrate priorities, and align intentions with impact.Parenting Lessons in LeadershipAmy reflects on how parenting has taught her valuable lessons about patience, presence, and the importance of instilling confidence in others—lessons she carries into her leadership.Final ThoughtsLeadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about asking the right questions. By focusing on what we're leaving in others rather than what we're leaving for them, we can create a meaningful legacy. Balancing life and work isn't about achieving perfect harmony but rather navigating the tension with intention and love.Resources MentionedAmy's Website: https://www.success.com/amy Follow Amy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/somerville_amym Follow Amy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amymsomerville Follow Amy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amy.coonssomerville Join my upcoming free live online event: https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccess Key Time Stamps00:00 Introduction and Warm Welcome01:44 Discussing the Role of Fear03:15 Choosing Love Over Fear04:26 Public Speaking Challenges05:57 Practical Applications of Love in Leadership10:23 The Importance of Vulnerability15:22 Balancing Personal and Professional Life21:46 Reflecting on Impact and Intent23:49 Closing Thoughts and ReflectionsTo join Rocky for his next free virtual event, go to https://rockygarza.com/beyondsuccessSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/trgs/donations

Award winning screenwriter and playwright, Moira Buffini turns her talents to her first YA dystopian trilogy. As an Olivier Award–winning UK playwright and BAFTA-nominated screenwriter, Buffini has created in SONGLIGHT the first in epic fantasy trilogy: The world of the Torch Trilogy is incredibly immersive, expansive, and richly imagined. The action is just getting going in SONGLIGHT, Book 1 of this epic story. We're two songs joined. And there's a word for that. A harmony. Elsa is used to hiding the most important parts of herself—her feelings for Rye, her distaste for a world ruled by men, and, most crucially, her gift of songlight. She buries that secret deep inside. In Brightland, those with songlight are called Unhumans and are abhorred. Rye is the only other person Elsa has known with songlight, and their shared bond has brought them together. Elsa's world begins to fall apart one desperate, heart-wrenching day and she doesn't know where to turn until a girl appears before her. But the girl isn't really there—her songlight has been drawn to Elsa's frantic grief. Elsa lives in a remote seaside village; Nightingale, her new friend, lives in a city hundreds of miles away with her father, a government official responsible for rooting out Unhumans. The two never expected to connect via songlight. But when they do, and when they realize the extent of their power, they'll be thrust in the middle of a war that threatens their very existenceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In this episode Derek Champagne interviews Brian Buffini, author of the New York Times best-selling book, The Emigrant Edge: How To Make It Big In America.Brian Buffini emigrated from Ireland at the age of nineteen, with only ninety-two dollars in hispocket. Today, as the founder of Buffini & Company, the largest business training company in North America, he is one of the nation's top business experts. In his engaging  book, THE EMIGRANT EDGE: How To Make It Big In America (Howard Books, August 2017), he shares the secret of his success: a mix of seven qualities that make up what he calls the Emigrant Edge.“Successful immigrants think and work differently than the average American,” Buffini writes. “When they leave everything behind, they keep their dream of success uppermost in their mind.” Through his own experiences as well as those of others, Buffini describes how the sacrifices made to come to America, the lack of a safety net, and the advantages of a fresh start, set the stage for success.The good news for everyone, Buffini says, is that the seven traits immigrants share are wholly transferable, no matter where a person is born, or what his or her circumstances are.“Imitating these traits will equip anyone to thrive and succeed,” he contends.Learn more: https://www.brianbuffini.com/the-emigrant-edge.aspx

Real estate agents — and anyone who may be struggling with self-esteem — are really going to enjoy this week's guest on Chiseled. For years, Janell Schmittling seemingly had the tools to become a successful real estate agent — but she lacked the biggest one — self-esteem. Why? Perhaps due to a lack of support from her brokerage, a lot of spinning wheels without getting results, and a husband who was suffering from alcoholism, which she blamed on herself. "I was really struggling," she said. Dealing with her husband's addiction, trying to raise young children, and not closing enough deals, Janell debated whether to leave real estate altogether. But something changed that turned everything around. "When things finally started shifting for me was when I finally started praying for myself, instead of (my husband). And that might sound selfish, but I started praying to God that he would change how I reacted to him. And I asked God to change me instead of him," she said. "I started focusing on myself ... and then because I made changes in myself, that actually helped my husband hit his rock bottom and realize he needed help for himself. So, it was kind of amazing." That's also when Janell discovered Buffini and Company. After watching a series of Buffini success stories on the Internet, she jumped all in. That was more than eight years ago. Janell started learning the systems she needed to succeed, got a great coach, and started meeting like-minded individuals. "The people I surround myself are growth-minded and they know that we are always a work in progress," Janell said. Janell now runs an all-female real estate company in O'Fallon, Illinois. They sold 200 homes and achieved $50 million in sales last year. By the way, her husband has been sober for eight years.

For Amy Somerville, life happens in the transitions. Amy was in the real estate business for 18 years with RE/MAX — as a realtor, broker, team leader, franchise consultant, and coach. She readily admits that throughout it all, she was not a public speaker.But after nearly two decades in business, Amy needed to help her young family transition to the next stage of their lives. She chose to "take one for the team” and begin a very public-facing position running the professional development department. Within two years, she transitioned from senior vice president at RE/MAX to an independent consultant to an employee with Buffini and Company, whom she lovingly describes as "monsters" in the high-end real estate coaching space (I agree).Just a year later, while attending a real estate conference in New York, she was approached by eXp Realty CEO Glenn Sanford, a fan of Jim Collins, whose Good to Great book series offers incredible organizational management principles. One of Colins' principles says you may not know your "what" or your "why," but you are better positioned to take a leap in business when you find your "who."Sanford, who owns Success Enterprises, which happens to publish Amy's favorite magazine, SUCCESS, told her that she may be his "who."And shortly thereafter she transitioned again, becoming the new CEO of Success Enterprises.“It's heavy to carry a brand that has such a reputation and such an impact on so many people, and me included, so it's wild," she said.With its reputation for excellence, Amy is energized by the challenge of carrying the 127-year-old media group to its next level — by pursuing her own mission to LIVE — lead, inspire, provide value, and empathize.With her energy, focus, faith, and fortitude, I have no doubt that SUCCESS is in good hands. I was honored to interview her and believe you will feel the positivity and intention in everything she says during this Chiseled podcast.Amy is a source of strength and inspiration, with which I am sure you will agree after listening to this week's episode.

In this episode Derek Champagne interviews Brian Buffini, author of the New York Times best-selling book, The Emigrant Edge: How To Make It Big In America.Brian Buffini emigrated from Ireland at the age of nineteen, with only ninety-two dollars in hispocket. Today, as the founder of Buffini & Company, the largest business training company in North America, he is one of the nation's top business experts. In his engaging  book, THE EMIGRANT EDGE: How To Make It Big In America (Howard Books, August 2017), he shares the secret of his success: a mix of seven qualities that make up what he calls the Emigrant Edge.“Successful immigrants think and work differently than the average American,” Buffini writes. “When they leave everything behind, they keep their dream of success uppermost in their mind.” Through his own experiences as well as those of others, Buffini describes how the sacrifices made to come to America, the lack of a safety net, and the advantages of a fresh start, set the stage for success.The good news for everyone, Buffini says, is that the seven traits immigrants share are wholly transferable, no matter where a person is born, or what his or her circumstances are.“Imitating these traits will equip anyone to thrive and succeed,” he contends.Learn more: https://www.brianbuffini.com/the-emigrant-edge.aspx

Welcome, folks, to the 200th EPISODE! This one is going to be all about predictions for the rest of 2023 and 2024. The bottom line? Um, David has been right so far about these predictions and many economists are following right along. But, he's going to give you all the facts so you can follow along and make some of your own predictions along the way. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Episode Highlights: [04:15] A Quick Recap Despite high interest rates and high home prices and high mortgage rates, it's all going even higher this summer. Patterns indicate that the numbers will steadily increase through 2024. If you're hoping that they drop, well, they did drop. And you missed it - sorry! The only time home prices dropped month over month was from July 2022 to January 2023. Now, we're right back where we started - that steady increase. And what's the cause of that? Well, How to Buy a Homies, you know the answer. Say it with me: “LOW INVENTORY.” Because of this, David predicts that there will continue to be a steady increase with very little evidence showing that there could be a decrease. [15:45] Will There Be a Housing Crash? Well, probably not. According to the research David did, there are a few folks out there who think there could be, but the majority of sources say, “No, there won't be one.” As David says, a housing crash, or a housing bubble, is financially and physically impossible when you break down the data. A crash can only happen when the number of homes outweighs the demand, but as we've said over and over and over again, inventory is low. There aren't enough homes to keep prices down, so we're going to be stuck in the slowly rising prices here for a little while. [34:34] Recessions Aren't Always Bad for Housing As in many cases, our trusty friends the Feds like to jump in and get involved with the banking process. According to some experts, inflation occurs when the Feds raise the bank rates too fast and lower them too slowly. This can cause a recession, but not always a big one. In today's economic climate, it appears that we're in a mini recession. But, typically in recessions (besides that crazy time in 2008), house prices go up. However, even in recessions, housing is a safe and stable investment.

The only time home prices dropped month over month was from July 2022 to January 2023. Now, we're right back where we started - that steady increase. And what's the cause of that? Well, How to Buy a Homies, you know the answer. Say it with me: “LOW INVENTORY.” Because of this, David predicts that there will continue to be a steady increase with very little evidence showing that there could be a decrease. [15:45] Will There Be a Housing Crash? Well, probably not. According to the research David did, there are a few folks out there who think there could be, but the majority of sources say, “No, there won't be one.” As David says, a housing crash, or a housing bubble, is financially and physically impossible when you break down the data. A crash can only happen when the number of homes outweighs the demand, but as we've said over and over and over again, inventory is low. There aren't enough homes to keep prices down, so we're going to be stuck in the slowly rising prices here for a little while. [34:34] Recessions Aren't Always Bad for Housing As in many cases, our trusty friends the Feds like to jump in and get involved with the banking process. According to some experts, inflation occurs when the Feds raise the bank rates too fast and lower them too slowly. This can cause a recession, but not always a big one. In today's economic climate, it appears that we're in a mini recession. But, typically in recessions (besides that crazy time in 2008), house prices go up. However, even in recessions, housing is a safe and stable investment.

Noelle Banks knew when she was 12 years old the life she was going to lead. Attending a non-denominational church for the first time in her family's adopted town outside Atlanta, Ga., she found herself in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. From that point on, she found a relationship with Him as well as a community of people that would model her lifelong relationships. It certainly came in handy years later, in 2017, when Noelle found herself facing a breast cancer diagnosis, which resulted in a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction. "I've always been very intentional about who I surround myself with and I think it has made a huge difference in my life." The people who stepped up for Noelle in her time of distress included not only fellow congregants and friends but also strangers among the membership of Buffini and Company, the coaching company for real estate agents that she joined in 2004. "We are designed to be around people and it's really important who you choose to surround yourself with on a consistent basis, which is one of the reasons why I so very much value our White Hat community in Buffini and Company," she said. Brian Buffini's podcast also ended up having a big role to play in her recovery. In this week's episode of Chiseled, Noelle shares the story of her evolution toward Jesus, her surprise diagnosis, and the support she received from the Buffini community. I'm proud to call myself a member of this amazing group of real estate agents.
