The generalist agent is disappearing. The ones winning right now aren't trying to be everything to everyone — they're becoming the undeniable expert in one thing.   Valerie Upham, a Compass agent in San Diego, did exactly that. By committing to a single, high-need specialty most agents won't touch, she generated over $475,000 in GCI in 18 months — and $267,000 of that came straight from educational seminars and events.   If you're still chasing every lead in every price point and quietly wondering why you feel replaceable… this episode shows you the opposite move.   In this episode, you'll learn:   The Niche-Down Paradox: Why narrowing her focus to one specialty actually multiplied her referrals — and made her the obvious call. The $267K Seminar Engine: How educational events became her single biggest source of GCI in 18 months. The Room of Two: Why Valerie works a 2-person seminar like a full listing appointment — and the listings it's closed. Fill the Room: The exact channel mix she uses to drive attendance — direct mail to 30-year homeowners, Facebook, NextDoor, LinkedIn, and Eventbrite. The Trust-First Play: How shredding events and her own podcast build relationships years before anyone's ready to list. The Equity Protector: Why she personally manages contractors and renovations to protect a family's return through a major life transition.   Valerie's results weren't luck. The structure behind her niche was built inside Tom Ferry Coaching.   Ready to stop competing as a generalist and become the expert clients seek out?   Schedule a free call with a Tom Ferry consultant to learn more about coaching and see if it's right for you.

Reflections from host Sarah Olivieri ... Strategic Planning as a Rhythm Most nonprofits I talk to are not avoiding strategic planning because they don't believe in it. They're avoiding it because the process is heavy, the resulting document is long and hard to act on, and six months later it feels out of date. So they wait. They wait until something forces the conversation. A new executive director. A board crisis. A funder asking for it. By the time planning starts, the stakes feel enormous, the calendar feels short, and the team feels exhausted before the first meeting. They waited so long, planning is an extra activity that requires planning to plan. The plan that comes out of that environment is almost always too rigid, too future-locked, and too disconnected from the work people are actually doing. This is the structural pattern. Strategic planning for nonprofits gets framed as an event. A rare event. Rare things carry pressure. Pressure makes the process worse, which confirms everyone's belief that planning is painful, which makes the next planning cycle even longer to start. The whole loop is fixable. The fix is not a better planning process but a better planning rhythm. A recent podcast interview with Sophia Shaw left me thinking not just about how to do strategic planning well, but what actually creates staying power in a strategic plan.  A Plan as a Compass, Not a Roadmap The mental model most nonprofits inherited for strategic planning is the roadmap. You start here. You end there. You draw the route. You follow it. A roadmap is built for a destination that is completely knowable and a route that is predictable. But most nonprofits are can't follow a predictable route to well known destination. Most nonprofits are pioneering, forging a path to an imagined, but not fully knowable destination.  When pioneering, a compass is much more useful. A compass is different. A compass tells you the direction. It does not tell you the exact route. When the terrain changes, you keep the direction and find or create a new path. The plan still works, because the plan was never about the path. It was about where you're trying to go. In short: A roadmap locks in the route. A compass locks in the direction. Nonprofit terrain changes constantly. Your plan has to be built for that. The work of planning is choosing the direction clearly enough that you can re-route without losing it. When the plan is a compass, leaders stop being afraid of being "wrong." They stop avoiding planning out of fear that they'll commit to something they regret. The plan becomes a tool, not a verdict. Cadence Determines Whether the Plan Is Real Here's the part most planning processes get wrong. They treat the plan as the product. The truth is, the cadence of revisiting the plan is the product. A beautiful 40-page plan that gets opened once a year does less work than a one-page plan that gets revisited every two months. In my own work with organizations, I built a system where staff lead strategic planning every two months. Once a team has done it three or four times, "planning to plan" stops being a thing. The stakes are low. The plan is alive. Course corrections happen in real time, not in a year-end crisis.   Planning becomes a rhythm of re-orienting and re-confirming or refining the path and the destination.  This is what separates a plan that aligns the organization from a plan that sits on a shelf. The plan isn't the product. The cadence is. Short, frequent planning cycles lower the stakes and raise the quality. When planning is a habit, course correction is a small move, not a crisis. The organizations that get value from strategic planning are not the ones with the best document. They're the ones with the shortest distance between "something changed" and "we updated the plan." Short-Term Plans Are Healing for Teams in Crisis There's a specific moment when a six-month or one-year plan does more work than a three-year one. That moment is when an organization is operating without sufficient resources. When people are working in an underresourced environment, asking them to make a long term plan just adds load to an already-overloaded nervous system. A short-term plan does the opposite. It says: here is what we are doing in the next six months, here is what we are not doing, here is how we'll know we did it. That clarity stabilizes the team. The longer-horizon planning can come later, after the stabilization holds. I think of it like getting off a tiki raft. If you're on a small raft in the open ocean, the first goal is not the destination. The first goal is getting on a bigger boat. Everything about reaching a destination feels different once you're on the bigger boat. A short-term plan focused on capacity building, is the plan to get on a bigger boat. This is not a compromise. It is the right tool for the moment. The Plan Is Also the Fundraising Story A lot of nonprofits separate the planning conversation from the fundraising conversation. The planning team meets. The development team meets. The two outputs get stitched together later. This is backwards. The plan is the fundraising story. Donors are not funding programs in the abstract. They're funding a direction. They're funding the answer to "where is this organization going and how will I know if you got there?" If the board chair on one end of the table and the executive director on the other end whisper different answers to that question, no amount of donor stewardship will close the gap. I have watched organizations get major unrestricted gifts almost casually, after the leader simply got clear on the direction and started saying it out loud. One conversation about the vision, one week later, a letter for $100,000 a year for three years. That was not a fundraising win. That was an alignment win, with a check attached. Donors fund direction, not activity. Misalignment between the board and the executive director is a fundraising leak. Clarity at the plan level shows up as ease at the donor level. When the plan is clear and the team is aligned, fundraising stops feeling like persuasion. It feels like an invitation. Gathering the Data Should Not Be A Part of the Planning Process One thing that makes frequent planning hard to imagine for many folks is that they have been told that in order to generate a great plan, they need to gather data from stakeholders: the community, the team, the board, etc. This makes the process of planning very laborious, but there's something even more important going on here, and this should have your alarms going off like crazy. The fact that this data collection needs to happen for strategic planning means that data collection is not happening as a regular part of identifying whether or not programs are running as well as they can. It means that conversations and other forms of data collection to understand what the community needs and what donors want to support and what makes them feel invested are not a routine part of operating. This is a problem in how many non-profits operate: collecting data about the impacts of your programs collecting data about the needs of the people you serve collecting data about how your donors are responding and how to communicate with them better These should be part of daily operations, just like bookkeeping. Yes, strategic planning is a time to review data and analyze trends to inform decision making, but if you don't already have this data being collected as a regular part of operating, then your plan should include increasing your capacity so that you begin doing that. What Shifts When You Treat Planning as a Rhythm When leaders stop seeing planning as an event and start running it as a rhythm, several things change at once. What shifts: Planning stops being scary, because no single planning session is high-stakes. The plan stops being a document and starts being a tool the team actually uses. The board moves up to governance and out of operations. Fundraising gets easier, because the story is already clear. The executive director stops being the single point of strategic memory. None of this requires a heavier process. It requires a lighter, more frequent one.

We're at a pivotal moment in world geopolitics. Increasingly the masks and the gloves are both off - but it's not a binary choice any more between two sets of suits in slightly different coloured ties: now we have the right showing its true colours  - and a chance for the progressive majority in this country to find its feet and lead us towards a genuinely thoughtful, emotionally literate, high-bandwidth politics that ditches the toxic tribalism and instead lays the ground for a future that could actually work. We're joined this week by Neal Lawson, co-founder and Executive Director of the progressive pressure group, Compass; and Rupert Read, Co-Director of the Climate Majority Project. Neal is a member of the Labour Party, and Rupert of the Green party and we came together to discuss the forthcoming by-election in Makerfield, where Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester is standing as a candidate, with a view to standing for leadership of the Labour Party if he wins.  His main challenger is the Reform party led by Nigel Farage.  The Greens are newly invigorated after their recent win in the Gorton and Denton by-election in Manchester, so there has been a lot of conversation in progressive circles as to whether the Greens should step away to give Burnham a clear run. This seemed a good moment to have a vigorous conversation - to explore the possibilities and potential and the routes forward should Burnham win.

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg recap their time at the Signal conference before diving into one of the biggest debates facing organized real estate: what exactly is the MLS supposed to be? The conversation centers on "Pool," ThousandWatt's thought experiment for a national home exchange that would compensate listing contributors and charge data users. Rob argues the concept reveals a growing belief that the MLS is primarily a data repository, while Greg sees it as a modernized form of cooperation. From there, the discussion expands into the purpose of MLSs, the difference between cooperation and marketing, portal participation, private listing debates, government intervention, and whether the industry is losing sight of its core mission. Key Takeaways Rob discusses his new consulting engagement with Compass and why he believes independent opinions remain critical. Highlights from the Signal conference, including the branding lessons behind Liquid Death and ThousandWatt's "Pool" concept. Rob reveals Pool closely mirrors the Nexus MLS model he previously attempted to build. A debate over whether MLSs are fundamentally data repositories or broker cooperatives. Greg and Rob clash over the relationship between cooperation, compensation, marketing, and listing distribution. Discussion of off-market listings, seller choice, "velvet rope" marketing, and government involvement in real estate policy. Why both hosts believe the industry needs a clearer answer to the question: "What is the MLS?"

Private listings are under fire, Compass is facing new antitrust scrutiny, and the MLS-Zillow-Compass battle keeps getting bigger. In Episode 364 of This Week in Real Estate, we're breaking down the latest push from states like New York and Washington to restrict off-MLS and private listings, what regulators may be watching in the Compass/Anywhere deal, and why this fight could reshape how homes are marketed across the country. We're also digging into the latest houasing market signals: agent optimism is rising, new listings are slipping, mortgage demand jumped, rates remain volatile, inflation is putting pressure on the Fed, and former pandemic hotspots like Nashville, Miami, and Austin are shifting firmly toward buyers. Are private listings a seller choice issue, a fair housing issue, or a brokerage power play? And is the housing market gaining momentum, or are rising rates about to stall it again? Join us LIVE on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram for sharp, no-fluff real estate analysis built for agents, buyers, sellers, and investors trying to understand what's really happening behind the headlines.

Most rental owners are still chasing the top spot on Google. That used to be the whole game. In this episode, Krista Chapman, founder of Path & Compass, breaks down the biggest shift in local search in years, from SEO to AEO and GEO, and what independent rental operators need to do right now to make sure AI recommends their business instead of their competitor's.

In this episode of Psychology and Stuff, host Alison Jane Martingano sits down with Dr. Neema Trivedi-Bateman, senior lecturer in criminology at Loughborough University and founder of the Compass Project, an innovative intervention designed to strengthen moral development and promote prosocial behavior in young people. Neema shares how her research on empathy, shame, guilt, and decision-making inspired the creation of Compass, and explains why helping young people reflect on their emotions and choices may be more effective than focusing solely on rules and punishment. Together, they explore the role of moral reasoning, self-control, and social environments in shaping behavior, as well as the challenges of translating theory into real-world programs. From promising early results in schools to plans for international expansion, their conversation highlights how research-driven interventions can help young people make healthier decisions and create positive changes in their communities.

In this episode, Reed and Mark sit down with Sam Benner to explore one of the biggest questions facing the real estate industry today: who actually controls real estate? From major brokerage mergers and the growing influence of companies like Compass and Zillow to battles over listing data and MLS access, the conversation dives into the shifting balance of power across the industry. They discuss how consolidation is affecting agents, consumers, and media companies, and whether larger corporations are helping or hurting competition. They also explore the role of AI, storytelling, and technology in shaping the future of buying and selling homes.

Real estate agents: the industry is fighting a massive war over listing data, private networks, portal access, and who really controls inventory.But here's the real question: are private listing networks helping consumers — or quietly costing sellers money and limiting buyer access?In this episode, I break down the Compass vs. Zillow debate, why off-market sales can create a hidden cost for sellers, the Bright MLS data showing an average $53,890 difference, and how smart agents can use predictive AI to find future inventory before everyone else is fighting over the same listings.The agents who win the next chapter of real estate will not be the ones hiding behind corporate talking points. They'll be the ones who understand consumer behavior, protect transparency, and build real skill.Work With Jeremy / Build Your Real Estate Business:

Mortgage lenders track rates, volume, and affordability. But are they paying close enough attention to what's happening in real estate — and how it directly affects their business? In this episode of Connect, California MBA CEO Paul Gigliotti sits down with Coby Hakalir, SVP/Managing Director of Mortgage & Core Services at T3 Sixty, a firm helping real estate leaders think through strategy, brokerage performance, technology, and the future of how real estate companies operate. The conversation covers consolidation, the fight for the consumer, the evolving LO-agent relationship, and what AI is starting to do to the home search experience. This is the intersection of mortgage and real estate — and it's a conversation the industry needs to have. In this episode: • Why real estate brokerage EBITDA is hovering near zero — and the parallels to mortgage • The consolidation wave: Compass at 30% market share, Rocket-Redfin, and what it means for JV partnerships • Why 80% of borrowers and real estate clients never come back — and the stat behind it (88% don't even remember their loan officer's name 12 months after the transaction) • What agents actually want from lender partners right now — and why coffee and open houses aren't enough anymore • The dual technological journey borrowers go through — and why it's creating transaction trauma • How propensity data and AI-powered home search are reshaping the consumer experience in real estate • Answer engine optimization vs. search engine optimization — and why it matters for mortgage next • Why shifts in the market always create opportunity — and how to approach change with eyes wide open Connect is the California MBA's podcast where strategy, innovation, and leadership come together to shape the future of mortgage finance.

I was blessed to sit down once again with Pastor Doug Wilson in his Idaho office to discuss a variety of China-related topics, including Trump's China tactics and whether or not Doug thinks he'll ever stand on the Great Wall of China. We also spent quite a few minutes discussing his early years in Japan, which was sort of unplanned. The conversation was fascinating and fun and we only stopped because of time restraints. I have a few more questions that I had to leave for a future conversation. Here's the link to our previous conversation back in the Fall of 2025, of which I wrote the following... In our 30+ minute conversation, we touched on many topics including the Great Leap Forward, Mao’s Great Famine, Doug’s Submarine Adventures with a Taiwanese crew, the China Legacies of Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, the Tiananmen Square massacre (and revival), China’s modern-day revival, C.S. Lewis’s 1946 China optimism vs. Doug’s (short-term) pessimism, Hebrews 13:3 and how to pray for the persecuted, and PrayforChina.us’s helpful strategy! https://pubtv.flfnetwork.com/tabs/audio/podcasts/30293/episodes/133 We would welcome donations to help us equip pastors in the Chinese house church network I mentioned in my conversation with Doug.

At the 2026 New World Gala, American Compass introduced Reclaiming American Citizenship, a new "project for the people" to confront the existential task of revitalizing what it means to be an American citizen, not merely as a matter of who gets to be here, but about the responsibilities inherent in that privilege. Compass policy advisor Chris Griswold joins Oren to make sense of what doing so means in practice on the eve of America's 250th anniversary.They discuss how a fuller understanding of being a citizen breaks from the libertarian notion that liberty is merely a question of maximizing the freedom to do what one wants, and how a commitment to the latter has done so much damage to our body politic. And they outline the pillars of how to reclaim our citizenship, and what America could look like if we did.Further reading:Reclaiming American Citizenship, American Compass

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg revisits his "Poking the Bear" article and argues that the industry may be underestimating what happens if Zillow is pushed into becoming a direct competitor. Using a Nike-versus-Hyatt branding analogy, Greg and Rob debate whether a Zillow brokerage, franchise, or even MLS would be a nightmare scenario or simply the next stage of competition. The conversation expands into a broader discussion about MLS infrastructure, IDX, cooperation, listing distribution, and whether the industry is protecting outdated systems at the expense of innovation. Rob argues that the industry's real asset is cooperation, not marketing, while Greg contends that blowing up existing systems creates more risk than reward. The result is one of the podcast's most philosophical debates about competition, infrastructure, and the future of real estate. Key Takeaways Greg explains the premise of his "Poking the Bear" article and why he believes the industry should be careful about forcing Zillow into a more direct competitive role. The hosts discuss whether a national Zillow brokerage or franchise would be a serious threat to existing brokerages and brands. Rob argues that direct competition is preferable to the current situation because brokerages know how to compete against other brokerages, franchises, and MLSs. Greg questions whether Compass's evolution into a larger conglomerate could create opportunities for boutique and independent brokerage models. The discussion shifts to MLS infrastructure, with Rob arguing that cooperation—not marketing—is the true value proposition of the MLS system. Rob and Greg debate whether IDX remains relevant in its current form and whether it should become an opt-in rather than opt-out system. The hosts explore the difference between cooperation data and marketing data, and whether those functions should be separated moving forward. Greg argues that unrestricted competition could create unintended consequences, while Rob maintains that open competition ultimately benefits consumers. The episode closes with a larger conversation about preserving what makes the U.S. real estate market unique while adapting to new competitive realities.   Links Greg's Article   Connect with Rob and Greg Rob's Website  Greg's Website    Watch us on YouTube   Our Sponsors: Cotality  Notorious VIP The Giant Steps Job Board    Production and Editing Services by Sunbound Studios

After 70 episodes, I've noticed a pattern that keeps showing up in every corner of longevity, wellness, and medicine: people don't fail because they “don't care.” They fail because the signal is buried under hype, and because perfectionism makes the basics feel impossible to sustain. So I step back and share a simple framework  for living long and well: treat evidence like a compass, treat hype like a detour, and treat perfectionism like a parking brake.I walk through how to read health evidence without getting lost. Randomized controlled trials vs observational studies, replication, meta-analyses, and the most important filter of all: are we looking at meaningful outcomes like fewer heart attacks, better function, clearer thinking, and longer life, or are we just watching biomarkers move. We also revisit how research in stable coronary artery disease forced a shift away from the intuitive “fix the plumbing” story and back toward the unglamorous risk factors that actually drive health.Then we get practical about what to do when averages don't map cleanly onto you. Using sleep and melatonin as an example, we explain a careful N-of-1 approach, including the power of stopping and restarting so you can tell whether a change truly helps. From there, we break down the “hype equation” using mitochondrial health and NAD claims to show how plausible mechanisms, credentials, anecdotes, and incentives can make weak evidence feel strong.Finally, we make the case for “good enough” health: the 80-20 moves that deliver most of the benefit, plus the mindset that leaves room for joy. If this helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who's tired of wellness noise, and leave a review so more people can find the compass.Send us Fan Mail

In this episode of The Chaplain's Compass, hosts Alice Tremaine and John Betz welcome Daniella Mestyanek Young for a fascinating conversation about cults, coercive leadership, spiritual struggle, and the universal human need for belonging. Daniella shares her extraordinary journey from growing up in the Children of God movement to becoming a U.S. Army intelligence officer and one of today's leading voices on cult dynamics and unhealthy group behavior. Drawing from both lived experience and years of research, she explains how high-control environments gain influence, why certainty can be so appealing, and how manipulation often disguises itself as purpose, mission, or community.  The conversation explores the difference between healthy group cohesion and coercive control, the challenges cult survivors face when learning to trust themselves again, and the ways chaplains can support individuals navigating spiritual deconstruction, identity formation, and major life transitions. Daniella also offers practical insights into recognizing red flags in organizations, understanding the role of self-sacrifice in unhealthy systems, and creating environments where people can safely rediscover their own voice and agency.  This thought-provoking episode is essential listening for chaplains, caregivers, leaders, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith, psychology, leadership, and human behavior.

Welcome to our series Better Your Business With Ben. In this episode, Ben and DJ break down the growing battle between Zillow, Compass, and the MLS over listing control, private exclusives, and what it means for agents and consumers. They discuss why major industry players may not truly be advocating for agents, and how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are rapidly changing lead generation, search, and the future role of real estate professionals. Ben also shares how his AI-powered platform OfferShield uses transaction data and predictive modeling to reduce deal cancellations and strengthen buyer offers. Last, the conversation dives into practical AI workflows for content creation, automation, financial analysis, and staying ahead in an industry being reshaped by technology.

On my final day in Vanuatu, as I continue my work on Part II of John G. Paton’s autobiography, I read a portion from the forthcoming book that includes both George Mueller and C.H. Spurgeon. Then I discuss the growth of the Chinese church in the capital city of Vanuatu, Port Vila, before looking at the Chinese cities to pray for this week (PrayforChina.us).
