Episode Overview: In this dynamic episode of One Big Fire, John Kitchens brings together two of the most influential voices in real estate—Tina Caul and Al Stasek—for a powerful conversation that cuts through the noise and delivers actionable insights for agents, team leaders, and brokerage owners. The trio explores the impact of recent tariff pauses on new construction, Zillow's surprising path to profitability (and what it really means for agents on the ground), and why culture is the often-overlooked X-factor that separates struggling teams from thriving empires. They also celebrate the return of the iconic Honey Badger of the Month Award, diving into its origin, legacy, and why resilience, grit, and relentless action still define success in today's shifting market. If you want to future-proof your business, lead a high-performing team, and dominate in this evolving landscape, this episode is essential listening. Key Takeaways: 1. The Tariff Pause: Why It's More Than Just a Builder Boost The 90-day pause on tariffs is providing more than temporary relief to builders—it's fueling broader market confidence. Al Stasek breaks down the ripple effect from builder operations to the job market, consumer sentiment, and the overall health of the housing economy. For agents, understanding these macroeconomic moves helps sharpen their conversations with buyers and sellers. Builders need agents more than ever to help maintain velocity in their projects, creating new partnership opportunities for savvy teams. 2. Zillow's Profitability & What It Means for the Industry Zillow has turned a profit for the first time in years, but the reason may surprise many. Tina Caul outlines how Zillow's aggressive push into mortgage services has become a key revenue driver, while also highlighting their strategic shift to a remote-first model (Cloud HQ), driving operational efficiencies. The real takeaway? Teams leveraging Zillow Flex understand that the cost of leads isn't an expense—it's an investment in lifetime client value. Leaders must understand the math, manage the accountability, and double down on the opportunities Zillow provides while using those profits to diversify into other lead sources like Realtor.com. 3. Culture as the Non-Negotiable Profit Multiplier While many leaders obsess over splits, leads, and transactions, Tina and John emphasize that culture is the true profit lever in any team or brokerage. They share how clearly defined, lived, and enforced core values create alignment, drive retention, and boost per-agent productivity. The discussion highlights the danger of tolerating toxic producers and why organizations with strong cultural foundations outperform their peers—especially in volatile markets. Al reinforces that accountability must be built into the system and that Zillow's backend reporting helps take some of that burden off team leaders while raising standards. 4. The Honey Badger Award Returns: A Legacy of Resilience and Grit The episode celebrates the return of the Honey Badger of the Month Award, honoring those in the Honey Badger Nation who embody the spirit of resilience, grit, and relentless pursuit of excellence. The award isn't given lightly—it recognizes those who push through challenges, innovate under pressure, and lead from the front. Tina, a past winner herself, reminds listeners that the award is about more than production—it's about how you show up when things get hard.

When you think about core values in your workplace, what comes to mind? A few words painted on the breakroom wall? A mission statement buried in an onboarding deck? For many organizations, especially in fast-paced, high-pressure industries like the trades, core values become background noise. But if you're leading a team, here's the uncomfortable truth: your culture isn't built by what you say you believe. It's built by what you tolerate. And if those values aren't actively guiding behavior, they're not values—they're decoration. So, how do you make core values actually work? How do you turn them from empty statements into a foundation that builds trust, accountability, and long-term growth? John Knowlton has spent years helping leaders get clear on what drives their teams. With a background as a United Methodist pastor and a business coach for trades and service companies, John understands that values aren't just about inspiration—they're about alignment. According to him, culture is not defined by what's printed on your website. It's defined by behavior. And too often, leaders create unspoken double standards. High performers are rewarded—even when their behavior undermines the team. Values are quoted in meetings but ignored on the jobsite. Over time, this erodes trust and breeds inconsistency. When your team sees misalignment between what's said and what's done, they stop believing. And that's when turnover, burnout, and disengagement start to rise. But when core values are clear, consistent, and practiced daily? They become your most effective leadership tool. In this episode of The People Strategy Podcast, Traci Austin sits down with with leadership coach John Knowlton for a candid, practical conversation about how to bring core values to life, especially in trades-based businesses. Together, they unpack what it really means to operationalize core values in the everyday: from crafting interview questions that reveal alignment, to navigating difficult decisions when two values seem to conflict. They explore how to hold high performers accountable when their behavior clashes with team culture, and how to embed values into performance reviews, peer feedback, and daily communication. This episode offers more than just theory—it provides actionable tools for leaders ready to stop reacting to culture and start shaping it. Because, as John says, “Your culture is happening whether you lead it or not."

We've all been there: the first meeting goes great, the recruit leans in, there's chemistry... then silence. Suddenly, every follow-up feels like you're annoying them. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to pre-frame your follow-ups with value, so you stop chasing and start leading. When done right, follow-up isn't a disruption, it's a service. I'll show you how to turn that awkward “just checking in” into a trusted leadership moment that builds momentum and creates future hires. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The recruiting tension we've all felt: great meeting, then ghosted. [01:00] Why Follow-Ups Fall Flat – You didn't set the stage. No frame = no permission. [01:30] Pre-Framing the Follow-Up – Plant the seed during the first conversation. Ask if you can share something valuable in the weeks ahead. [02:30] Asset #1: Books – Send a thoughtful book with a handwritten note that matches their challenge. [03:30] Asset #2: Event Invites – Pre-frame exclusive invites to leadership calls, masterminds, or town halls. [04:00] Asset #3: Custom Content – Send a podcast, quote, or framework tied to their specific pain point. [04:30] Asset #4: Pure Gratitude – A thank-you note that affirms their leadership plants powerful seeds. [05:00] Build a Value Library – Create a system to store and deploy assets: books, podcasts, events, insights. [06:00] Final Challenge – Stop winging follow-up. Lead with intentionality, and watch your pipeline warm up fast. Key Takeaways Pre-Frame the Next Touchpoint – Get permission early so follow-up feels like service, not pursuit. Lead With Value – Use books, events, and content that reinforce your leadership and build trust. Customize Your Follow-Up – Reference real pain points from the conversation. Show them you listened. Systematize It – Keep a library of resources so you're never scrambling for the next move. You're Not a Nuisance – When your follow-up is relevant and intentional, it becomes a leadership moment. The best recruiters aren't chasing. They're investing. Start pre-framing your follow-ups, and you'll stop feeling like a salesperson and start being seen as a trusted guide.

Let's reflect on the quiet courage it takes to change your mind. Yup, you read it right. Especially when the path you're on no longer feels aligned. Whether it's a goal, a job or a relationship, course-correcting isn't failure, it's feedback. A favourite parable brings home why true leadership lies in the willingness to pivot, especially in unpredictable times. This is a gentle but firm flourishing nudge for those of you holding on out of fear of seeming flaky or indecisive. I unpack why we introverts often cling to consistency even when it costs us dearly.  'How do I let go' can be your most authentic, powerful question and decision yet. I promise, you are not betraying your past; instead you are honouring your evolution.     ** Key Points ** Change shows deep thinking Certainty is overrated Quiet courage matters   #ChangeIsCourage #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts #QuietRebellion #ShowUpAuthentically #IntrovertVoices #IntrovertWisdom #IntrovertStrength #Clarity   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Luke 15:17-20“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20 So he got up and went to his father.“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

Let's talk about one of the most powerful, and most underused, tools in recruiting: events and masterminds. Not the big splashy hotel-ballroom kind. I'm talking about strategic, intimate gatherings that position you as a leader, not a recruiter. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I walk you through how to host the kind of experience that attracts high-level talent without ever pitching your opportunity. You'll learn how to move from chasing candidates to curating conversations that build trust, momentum, and long-term recruiting wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The overlooked power of events and masterminds in modern recruiting. [01:00] Why Pitches Fall Flat – Top talent doesn't want another comp plan meeting. They want meaningful conversation. [01:30] Step 1: Solve a Real Problem – Create a topic around what producers actually care about: margin compression, referrals, personal brand, burnout, AI tools. [02:30] Step 2: Invite Strategically – Avoid salesy language. Use this: “No pitch. Just great conversation with people who are growing.” [03:30] Step 3: Facilitate Like a Pro – You don't need to be the expert. Ask great questions, spotlight others, and guide the room. [04:30] The Follow-Up Strategy – After the event, send a resource or personalized note that connects to what they shared. [05:00] Real Story – How one client hosted a 6-person breakfast that led to a recruit texting her days later asking for a conversation, without ever mentioning her company. [05:30] Final Challenge – Build a mastermind in the next 30 days. Make it meaningful. Let value open the recruiting door. Key Takeaways Stop Pitching. Start Curating. – Recruiting isn't about features. It's about creating spaces where people want to belong. Solve Real Problems – When you focus on what producers are struggling with, they'll lean in. Be the Host, Not the Hero – Great facilitators create rooms others want to return to. Recruit Without Recruiting – Share resources. Follow up with intention. Lead the relationship. Events Build Trust at Scale – You're not chasing people. You're inviting them into a conversation worth joining. If you want to win the top 20%, stop sounding like every other recruiter. Lead something real. Build something valuable. And create rooms where leaders want to sit. Want help building your first mastermind or recruiting event?

We open with news of some American manufactures finding themselves inundated with orders thanks to companies not wanting to do business with China while tariffs are so high. In 2017 a radical Leftist supporter of Bernie Sanders wanted to assassinated Republicans on a ball field. We are only just now finding out how botched and politicized the FBI report on the incident was. Katherine Maher, CEO of NPR, believes government needs to be out of their business. How right she is! We then illustrate throughout the rest of the show how the Left will always say whatever is politically expedient, regardless of how inconsistent it is from what they have said previously. We have another activist judge who says Trump needs to keep 12,000+ “refugees” in this country. The 5th Amendment being applied to illegals makes no sense. We then move to the Hill where DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was testifying. I only pulled three sound bites from Democrats and that's enough to test the strength of the duct tape you need to keep your head from exploding. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon discusses Harvard and the push to remove their non-taxable designation. As we start to wind down, I have a crazy invented story from Ana Navarro regarding Canada. Ironically, Trump is meeting with PM Carney today. Trump just gave us a thinly veiled answer as to who blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. The courts say the President controls military law and thus can fire transactivist Rachel Levine. Data Republican along with James Hartline found a financial connection between Bill “the Kickball Kid” Kristol and money from George Soros. Tyson Foods just announced they want to remove all synthetic coloring by the end of the month. Finally, we show another example of duplicity from the Village Idiot, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). We then close with a brilliant observation from VP JD Vance on who is really “leading” the Democrat Party. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

Let's flip the script. If you're building a team inside a local or regional brand without the flashy pitch deck or name recognition, you're not at a disadvantage—you're in a position of power. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to position yourself not in spite of your size, but because of it. Top producers today aren't just looking for big names—they're looking for trust, access, authenticity, and vision. This is your blueprint for turning “small” into elite and building a boutique recruiting brand that wins. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The big question for small shops: How do I compete with the big brands for top talent? [01:00] The False Belief – Why “smaller” doesn't mean “weaker”—it means you have a unique recruiting edge. [01:30] Own Your Positioning – Don't apologize for being boutique—embrace it with posture and pride. [02:00] Shift the Frame – You're not small, you're selective. Not under-resourced, but customized and high-touch. [02:30] Lead with Vision, Not Features – Features don't move people—vision, identity, and belief do. [03:30] Sell the Why – Be the leader who shows up with clarity and conviction, not a generic pitch. [04:00] Agility and Access – Big companies move slow. You move fast. Talk about your speed, flexibility, and personal touch. [04:30] Customization Is King – You're not templated. You co-create support and systems around each individual. [05:00] The Greatest Asset: You – Your leadership, coaching, and mentorship are what sets you apart. Own it. [06:00] Final Challenge – Audit your language. Are you playing underdog, or owning the boutique high-performance brand you are? Key Takeaways Posture Matters – Stop competing on features. Compete with belief, vision, and leadership. You're Not Small, You're Specialized – Top talent wants voice, trust, and agility—not red tape. Build Around the Individual – Your advantage is flexibility. Co-create solutions, don't cookie-cut them. Lead with Identity – Share your why. Share your leadership philosophy. That's what people follow. Stay in Your Lane – Don't try to out-tech or out-brand. Win with intimacy, access, and personal connection. You don't need a national name or a big checkbook to attract elite talent. You just need clarity on who you are, confidence in what you bring, and the courage to lead with conviction. Want help crafting your boutique recruiting message?
