Episode Overview In this powerful episode of the Agent to CEO Podcast, John Kitchens sits down with Chad Smith for a deep conversation on leadership, faith, discipline, and building a real estate business that actually lasts. Chad shares his incredible journey—from chasing a music career and hitting rock bottom at 23, to rebuilding his life through faith, mentorship, and personal responsibility. He walks through how foundational principles—not tactics—became the key to scaling a $100M+ real estate team, leading hundreds of agents, and maintaining a 20+ year commitment to faith, family, and purpose. This is not a "hacks and scripts" conversation. This is about priority structure, uncommon honor, servant leadership, and what it truly takes to win long-term. If you want seven-figure success without sacrificing what matters most, this episode will challenge and sharpen you. Chad's Origin Story: From Rock Bottom to Real Estate Leadership Walking away from a soccer scholarship to pursue music Playing the Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood at 20 years old Facing rejection and spiraling into rock bottom by age 23 The life-changing influence of his uncle and exposure to Rich Dad, Poor Dad Discovering a new framework for life through faith and the "Man of Honor" message Committing to a priority structure that changed everything Chad made a declaration early: He would never become a "shooting star" again. The Priority Structure That Changed His Life Chad breaks down the foundation that drives every decision he makes: Faith Marriage Children Excellence in business to serve others Rather than building business at the expense of family, Chad built leadership capacity so he wouldn't have to choose between success and presence. He hasn't worked nights or weekends since 2009—and his production scaled because of it, not in spite of it. Uncommon Honor: The Core Value That Scales Culture Chad introduces the concept of Uncommon Honor, a leadership philosophy that drives his team culture. What it means: Honor those who showed you the way Honor your peers Honor those who can't "help" you Tell the truth—even when it's uncomfortable Protect the environment at all costs "If at any point I'm unwilling to say what needs to be said, that's the moment the environment begins to die." This is servant leadership without weakness. Truth with courage. Culture without compromise. The Leadership Shift: From Competitor to Capacity Builder Chad shares a powerful mindset shift: If you're threatened by your team's greatness, you'll never scale. He lives by this commitment: "I'm not afraid of you being great." Key leadership insights: Every dream is a dream inside a dream The moment a leader becomes a limiting factor to talent is the moment the relationship ends Competition is rooted in scarcity True growth comes from competing against your own potential This is the shift from ego-driven leadership to legacy-driven leadership. Building a $100M+ Team Without Losing Alignment Chad details how he: Went from individual agent of the year to scaling leadership capacity Helped grow a Keller Williams office to one of the most profitable in the world Sold 371 homes in a 12-month period with a lean, disciplined team Built core values intentionally—not aspirationally Created "The Real Solution" coaching community rooted in long-term principles His focus isn't hype. It's systems, discipline, daily consistency, and alignment. The Real Solution vs. The Easy Button Chad challenges the modern "magic bullet" mentality. In a world obsessed with shortcuts, he built growth through: Daily consistency (260+ live leadership sessions per year) Clear values Intentional mentorship Long-term commitment "You either train the algorithm, or the algorithm trains you." This is about discipline over distraction. Foundation over flash. Books & Influences Mentioned Rich Dad, Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki The Success System That Never Fails – W.

It's about better structure. If you want to scale your real estate business without sacrificing your marriage, your kids, or your integrity, you must: Get your priority structure right Lead with uncommon honor Refuse to compete from scarcity Never become a limiting factor to your team Commit to consistency over hype Seven-figure success doesn't start with tactics. It starts with thinking like a CEO—and leading like a servant.

Six teenage boys left a house party in Pickering, Ontario, in the early hours of March 17, 1995, and vanished without a trace. Durham Regional Police settled on a theory almost immediately — the boys stole a boat, went joyriding on the frigid waters of Lake Ontario, and drowned. Case closed.Except it wasn't. Not even close.In this episode, we go beyond the official narrative and dig into the facts that never made the headlines. The details that got buried, ignored, or actively suppressed.We examine why Jay Boyle called his girlfriend at 1:30 a.m. and told her he was coming to her apartment — only to never arrive. We break down the surveillance footage that only captured three of the six boys at the marina, while the other three were never seen on camera at all. We look at evidence suggesting Danny Higgins, the youngest of the group, may not have even been with the others when they disappeared.We cover the two girlfriends who called police at 3:30 a.m. to report the boys missing — and were dismissed. The 36-hour delay before any real search began. The sidescan sonar contract that was lined up and then cancelled by Durham Police without explanation. The "unsinkable" boat that was never found. The gas can that turned up on the wrong side of the lake with no water inside it after nearly two weeks adrift. We reveal the three unidentified strangers caught on the marina's surveillance tape just minutes after the boys — who were never investigated.The critical dockside camera that went offline at 2:21 a.m. at the worst possible moment. And the surveillance footage that Durham Police told a private investigator didn't exist — until his third access to information request proved otherwise.We walk through the 1998 discovery of red jeans and human remains in the Niagara River that matched Jay Boyle's description — a discovery the Boyle family wasn't told about for 15 years. The bureaucratic nightmare that followed. The broken chain of evidence. And the forensic results that raised more questions than they answered.This episode is built on the 13-year investigation of private investigator Bruce Ricketts, who worked this case pro bono until his death in January 2024, and on the documented record he left behind. The boys: Jay Boyle (17), Chad Smith (18), Robbie Rumboldt (17), Jamie Lefebvre (17), Michael Cummins (17), and Danny Higgins (16).The case remains open. The boys are still classified as missing persons.Anyone with information is asked to contact the Durham Regional Police Service at 1-888-579-1520, ext. 2511.

On the night of March 16, 1995, six teenage boys left a house party in Pickering, Ontario and headed toward the East Shore Marina at Frenchman's Bay. They told friends they'd be back before sunrise. None of them were ever seen again.Jay Boyle, 17. Chad Smith, 18. Robbie Rumboldt, 17. Jamie Lefebvre, 17. Michael Cummins, 17. Danny Higgins, 16.Known collectively as the Lost Boys of Pickering or the Frenchman Bay Six, their disappearance remains one of Canada's most baffling unsolved cases thirty years later.In this episode, we walk through the full timeline of that night, from the party to the marina, the surveillance footage that captured three of the boys entering the property at 1:48 a.m., and the unidentified individuals recorded on that same footage just minutes later.We examine the thirty-six-hour delay before police launched a search, the massive air, land, and water operation that followed, and the single piece of physical evidence ever recovered — a gas can found twelve days later on the American side of the lake near Wilson, New York.We dig into the official theory from the Durham Regional Police Service, that the boys stole a fourteen-foot Boston Whaler and capsized on the frigid waters of Lake Ontario, and we examine the serious questions raised by private investigator Bruce Ricketts, who spent over thirteen years working the case without pay before his death in January 2024. Ricketts challenged nearly every aspect of the investigation, from the cancelled sidescan sonar search to the surveillance video that police later claimed didn't exist in their records, to the human remains found in the Niagara River in 1998 that the Boyle family didn't learn about for fifteen years.No bodies. No boat. No wreckage. No clothing. No personal effects. Six teenagers, gone without a trace. This is a case defined not by what was found, but by what wasn't, and by the questions that three decades of silence have never answered.If you have information about this case, contact the Durham Regional Police Service at 905-579-1520, extension 2511, or submit an anonymous tip to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. Case reference number 95-26936.

Send in your music story!A blizzard outside, a firestorm in music. We start with the easy stuff—laughs, life updates, and a nostalgia trip through 2000s anthems—then dive straight into the friction points shaping live music right now: dynamic ticket pricing, runaway fees, and why mid-level artists can't afford to tour while mega-acts sell out arenas. It's Grammys week, but the real story sits underneath the trophies.We unpack a headline-heavy slate: tours from Queens of the Stone Age and Zayn Malik, a tragic breaking loss in the community, and a ceremony that crowned Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar while Post Malone led a surging Ozzie tribute with Slash, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan, and Andrew Watt. On the red carpet, the tone trended surprisingly classic—Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter kept it timeless—punctuated by a single shock piece that lit up the timeline. Performances got the microscope from us too: what landed, what missed, and how televised moments dovetail with marketing cycles like a Super Bowl halftime.Then we tackle the question that won't die: should artists speak on politics? Jelly Roll's refusal to weigh in sparked backlash, and we push back on the expectation that entertainers must campaign. Autonomy matters—for artists and for fans. We talk about separating art from the artist, when lines get crossed, and how to “vote” with your wallet without letting parasocial noise make your choices. It's a candid, sometimes uncomfortable, always honest conversation about taste, ethics, and the business machine behind the music we love.To end on a note that's ours, we host the HB Guest Grammys. Fan Favorite goes to TX2 for the interview that lit our early charts. Best Album shout goes to Keep Flying's Time and Tide, with love to Snacktime for pure fun. “Realest” guest turns into a heartfelt debate—Forest Day, Scott Blasey, and Ralph Sutton each get flowers—because the best part of this show is still the people behind the songs.If this hit your feed just right, follow, subscribe, and drop a review.

Welcome to your daily comedy podcast, where absolutely nothing makes sense and we like it that way.Today's show kicks off with a story that nobody asked for but everyone will remember forever: a 73-year-old former born-again Christian reinventing herself as an escort named Busty Granny. She spent decades in prayer and celibacy, then hit 57, downloaded the internet, and said “oh… THIS is what we've been missing.” Now she's got clients young enough to still have homework and zero interest in OnlyFans because, quote, that sounds boring. Inspirational? Traumatizing? Both.Then we get into the most depressing career math of all time: a woman casually sings seven words into her phone for a Dr Pepper jingle and walks away with $2 million, while the rest of us are out here working full-time jobs and eating gas-station sandwiches. Naturally, this leads to the crew trying to invent jingles for every brand that will absolutely never call back.Somehow that spirals into one of the most fun debates we've had in a while — the biggest debut albums of all time. We're talking massive numbers, MTV miracles, and how one 4am spin turned a “failed” album into a 50-million-copy monster. Along the way we argue, forget basic facts, remember them loudly, and realize radio used to be way more powerful than TikTok will ever admit.Movies get dragged (respectfully… mostly), Brendan Fraser gets the comeback love he deserves, and we debate whether seeing a movie in a theater automatically adds two letter grades just because popcorn exists.In Crap on Celebrities, we hit everything from band lawsuits and surprise documentaries to tour dropouts, concert ticket chaos, and some genuinely heartbreaking but honest conversations about aging, memory, and how terrifying it is to not know what's happening inside your own brain.We also celebrate birthdays, overshare existential dread, and somehow end the show discussing a literal geyser of poop water blasting into the Potomac River — because if we're going to spiral, we're doing it together.It's another daily comedy podcast episode packed with weird news, pop culture, dark laughs, and moments where we all pause and go, “Wait… are we okay?”Spoiler: probably not. But at least we're funny.MUSICMotley Crue has officially won its heated legal battle against former guitarist Mick Mars. Lainey Wilson sure has kept herself busy. It was just announced that Netflix has officially acquired the new documentary "Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool". It drops on April 22nd. Two more artists have dropped out of the 2026 Rock the Country Festival. Morgan Wade and Carter Faith are no longer part of the lineup.

In the early hours of March 17, 1995, six teenage boys from Pickering, Ontario, vanished without a trace. Jay Boyle, Michael Cummins, Daniel Higgins, Jamie Lefebvre, Chad Smith, and Robbie Rumboldt, all between the ages of 16 and 18, had spent the evening at a house party before making their way to the shores of Lake Ontario. It is believed that, in the spirit of youthful adventure, they decided to take boats out onto the lake—despite the frigid temperatures and the dangers of the open water.Sometime between 12:50 a.m. and 1:30 a.m., the boys were last seen near Frenchman's Bay, a small harbor in Pickering. By morning, they were gone. Concerned parents and friends reported them missing, and an extensive search effort was launched. Investigators found that two boats and a three-wheeled ATV were also missing, leading authorities to conclude that the boys had attempted to cross the lake. However, no distress calls were made, and no bodies or wreckage were ever found.Despite an exhaustive search by the Canadian Coast Guard and local authorities, only a gas canister—matching one from one of the missing boats—washed up on the shores of nearby Wilson, New York, weeks later. Beyond that, there were no signs of the boys or their vessels. The case baffled investigators, as the lake that night was reported to be rough and unfit for such an excursion. Some theorized that the boys capsized and drowned in the icy waters, while others speculated that they may have made it to land and disappeared under more mysterious circumstances.Over the years, many theories have emerged, including possible foul play, an attempted escape from troubled home lives, or even a run-in with criminal activity on the waterfront. The lack of physical evidence has kept the case open, fueling speculation and hope among the families that answers may still come to light.Decades later, the Lost Boys of Pickering remain one of Canada's most haunting unsolved mysteries. What really happened on that fateful night?

Breaths — they're natural, emotional, and sometimes downright necessary. But should they always stay in your voice tracks? This week, the crew dives into the great de-breathing debate, inspired by a post from voice actor Toby Ricketts on how breaths act as "unseen punctuation." Robbo, AP, George the Tech, and Robert Marshall discuss when removing them improves clarity and when it strips away the performance. Along the way, they touch on AI voices, happy accidents, and the fine art of keeping things human — from Sting's laugh on Roxanne to Chad Smith breaking a drumstick mid-take. They also chat about Austrian Audio's new CC8 Supercardioid — a small-diaphragm beauty George currently has in front of him. Is it time to stop editing the life out of your sound?

Animal health and biosecurity are being threatened globally by a few different diseases and virus'. Ben Jarboe gets the spooky outlook from Jamie Jonker, Chief Science officer with the national milk producers federation.

He gives an update on each and shares reasons why we should watch them even if they are not in the US. Quiet weather pattern for this week.
