Episode Overview: In this episode, we are joined by real estate leader Blake Sloan for a raw, unfiltered conversation on how to lead through chaos, build a culture of daily accountability, and scale with systems—especially when most agents are frozen in fear. Blake breaks down how he's turning resistance into results, how his team books 60+ appointments in a single day, and the exact cadence that keeps his agents producing—even when the market's brutal. He reveals the real reason most agents are stuck (hint: it's not the market), how to attract high-level talent, and why personal discipline is the only path to power right now. If you're trying to grow your team, recruit better people, or just get your energy back—this is the episode to plug into. Don't just survive the market. Dominate it—one daily win at a time. Key Topics Covered Leading Through Market Resistance Why so many agents are frozen by fear and paralyzed by change. The shift in buyer/seller behavior—and how most agents are failing to adapt. The connection between personal development and consistent action in uncertain markets. The Power of Daily Wins and Huddle Culture How Blake's “daily wins” ritual transformed his team's performance and mindset. The cadence of accountability: morning huddles, leader rotation, and check-ins. Building a culture where wins are declared publicly and failure becomes a lesson. Recruiting Level 8 Talent from Level 2 Opportunities How to spot agents who are hungry but stuck in low-support environments. What Blake listens for in interviews to uncover grit, drive, and emotional maturity. Why leading from the front and asking the right second-level questions creates trust. Macros for Business Growth How Blake uses fitness analogies (like dialing in macros) to teach business structure. Why most agents are “working out” hard but not seeing results—because their strategy is off. What to track weekly: dials, connections, appointments, conversions, and personal growth. Shifting Buyer Behavior with Leadership How Blake's team overcame flaky buyers and cold leads by setting strong deadlines. Pre-framing expectations with buyers and lenders to eliminate ghosting and delays. Why speed and certainty win the client relationship before it even begins. Content, Consistency, and Social Proof Why Blake documents his personal routines publicly (and how it builds culture). How his agents are now mimicking the same routines—without being told. Using social media to attract agents, inspire clients, and leave a legacy for his kids. Building Leaders from Within How assigning huddle leadership created unexpected growth in junior agents. Lessons learned from letting team members lead for a week at a time. The game-changing question: “What did you learn about yourself this week as a leader?” Hard Truths of Leadership in 2025 You can't save people—you can only lead them. The painful reality of pushing people who don't want it enough. Why you must recruit for hunger, not just skill—and stop dragging dead weight. Resources Mentioned Warrior Stack Framework (used by Blake and his team for personal development) Blake's Daily Huddle Framework (weekly plans + 4 keys + daily wins) Google Forms & Sheets system for simplified journaling and mindset shifts EXP Team Resources + Recruiting Strategies “Shrimp Boat in the Storm” metaphor from Forrest Gump for surviving tough markets “The real suicide in this market is trying to save people who don't want to be saved.” – Blake Sloan   Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

How should we raise up leaders for church planting in pioneer contexts? Leadership development begins with discipleship of the entire church - "everyone gets everything." This discipleship is more than gaining biblical knowledge (though that is important); it is holistic and addresses all of life. This discipleship progressive, and begins with basic discipleship for new believers, and helps believers mature over time. The Lord Jesus and Apostle Paul developed leaders through giving time and attention to faithful believers in 4 ways, the 4 "E's" or "essentials" of leadership development: exemplify, equip, encourage, and entrust.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into something that's been absolutely revolutionary for me in over two decades of leadership development, and I think it could be for you too.   If you've ever hired someone and later thought, “What was I thinking?”—you're not alone. The truth is, most leaders pick people based on temperament—how charismatic or extroverted they are—and hope that'll translate into great leadership. But here's the thing: that approach is flawed, and it can lead to some serious misses.   Mark and I sit down to talk about why building your team around temperament can cause inconsistency, bias, and missed opportunities. Instead, we introduce a shift—a template-based model that's all about aligning your team with your vision and scaling leadership development across your entire organization.   I'm really excited about this conversation because we're not just talking theory here. We're giving you practical insights and a tool we've developed called the Identity Fear Quotient (IFQ) that can help you put this approach into action.   So, if you're ready to rethink how you develop leaders and build a team that's secure, clear, and ready to move your mission forward, this episode is for you.   --------- CONNECT WITH US:

Sandy Colhoun is the President of the National Outdoor Leadership School, also known as NOLS. - Founded in 1965 by legendary mountaineer Paul Petzolt, NOLS is widely considered to be the world's premier wilderness school, and its mission is “to be the leading source and teacher of wilderness skills and leadership that serve people and the environment.” NOLS operates in many of the world's wildest outdoor classrooms, and it provides the highest quality instruction in many outdoor skills, including wilderness travel, mountaineering, rock climbing, sea kayaking, and more. But perhaps most importantly, through these outdoor adventures, NOLS students learn the foundational and all-important life skills of leadership, teamwork, humility, and responsibility. - Sandy was named the seventh President of NOLS in October of 2023, after serving as the interim President and, before that, as a member of the NOLS Board of Trustees. Prior to his work with NOLS, he had spent much of his career in the worlds of education and journalism, most notably leading a $750 million fundraising campaign at Colby College in Maine. Sandy is also a proud graduate of a NOLS Wind River Mountaineering course, and he's no stranger to hardcore outdoor adventures– he worked as a ski patroller in Park City, climbed in Alaska, Nepal, and Bolivia, and cycled up and over the Himalayas from Tibet to Nepal. As you'll hear in our conversation, he's focused, driven, and lots of fun, and he's s fully committed to leading NOLS into the future. - I'm a proud graduate of a 1999 semester-long NOLS course, which was hands-down one of the most formative and valuable experiences of my entire life. Yes, I learned plenty of outdoor skills that have served me well for nearly 25 years now, but the most important lessons were those that taught me the value of good exhibition behavior, being comfortable in uncomfortable situations, and keeping a positive attitude when life gets difficult. If not for that semester, I highly doubt I would've ever moved out west, worked in conservation, or started this podcast. So, I'm obviously a superfan of all things NOLS. - I was so excited to chat with Sandy, and we covered a lot in our hour-long conversation. We discussed the history of NOLS, what separates NOLS from other wilderness schools, risk management, exhibition behavior, expanding one's comfort zone, a description of the ideal NOLS student, Sandy's own leadership style, his vision for the future of NOLS, how he will measure success, leaders that Sandy admires, favorite books, and much more. Be sure to check out the episode notes for links to everything we discuss. - A huge thank you to Sandy for being so generous with his time and for everything he and the entire team at NOLS do to make the world a better place.
