Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Albie Stasek dive into the shifting dynamics of today's real estate landscape—from team growth and agent migration to California's wildfire devastation and Zillow's evolving influence. With no guest this week, the conversation gets real as the guys dissect the core trends impacting the industry right now. They explore how pain, opportunity, and leadership are reshaping the way agents and teams make decisions. Plus, they tackle a major emerging trend: team mergers and mega team expansion. Is this the next wave or a cultural clash waiting to happen? This is a must-listen for team leaders, broker-owners, and agents looking to future-proof their business in 2025 and beyond. Key Topics Covered The Real State of Agent Movement Why top-producing agents and influential teams are migrating to eXp. What's really motivating these moves: pain, opportunity, or timing? How the last two years of slowdown created a demand for more consistent systems. Team Mergers and the Rise of Mega Teams Why teams are starting to merge—and whether this is smart growth or a culture crisis. Real-life lessons from failed mergers and what leaders need to know before joining forces. The importance of Patrick Lencioni's The Motive and choosing outcome over ego. Zillow Flex and the New Real Estate Game How top operators like Kyle Whissel are dominating markets through Flex. Why Flex is like the new REO playbook: low-margin leads, high-lifetime value. What most teams miss when they chase short-term profits over long-term positioning. The California Wildfire Crisis A firsthand breakdown of how fires are reshaping real estate on the West Coast. Long-term implications for inventory, insurance, and population migration. Why rents and premiums are about to spike—and who might be heading to Texas or Florida. Leadership Voids and the Agent Exodus Why agents are leaving legacy brands and mom-and-pop brokerages in droves. The silent killer: lack of leadership, vision, and meaningful direction. How today's best leaders are creating followership by removing ego and casting vision. Motivation, Vision & What Really Drives Production The truth about why agents plateau: financial comfort and a weak “why.” What Elon Musk's obsession teaches us about drive, discipline, and mission. Why the pack moves at the pace of the leader—and how to lead by example. Resources Mentioned The Motive by Patrick Lencioni – Must-read before attempting a team merger Elon Musk Biography – Referenced for insights on obsession and vision Zillow Flex Model – Discussed as the modern equivalent of REO strategy Verne Harnish's Top Book Lists – Recommends reading Elon multiple times CHSA/CHBA Systems – Mentioned as essential frameworks for consistent deals HoneyBadgerNation.com – Access to leadership tools, agent training, and systems EXP Nasdaq Event – Company news update (happening July 21st) Final Takeaway Leadership matters now more than ever. Whether you're merging a team, leading through market uncertainty, or just trying to find your edge—clarity, culture, and consistency will define your success. If you're ready to lead at a higher level, create a scalable business, and stop grinding without a strategy, now's the time to plug into proven systems and surround yourself with leaders who've been there.   “When the gate of the mind is open, the better way is clear.” – Jay Kinder Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

The invitation for today is to live at peace, but not the kind you might think. This isn't only silence or stillness, but rather the deep, soul-rooted type of peace that Jesus offers in a world full of noise and division. As we continue our series, You Should Get Out More, John contrasts peace and contempt, which is what pastor and author Jay Kim says are actually opposites. Contempt is a mindset that abounds in digital spaces and it erodes our ability to love and empathize. As followers of Jesus, we're called to a higher standard. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Let's talk about it: authenticity. Not the watered-down, social media version—but the real, raw, bankable kind that drives high-value relationships, leadership credibility, and personal brand power. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Danisha Keating—speaker, best-selling author, former foster youth turned PhD, and unapologetic truth-teller. We dive into what authenticity really means for ambitious women looking to build platforms that command attention and income.

We're spilling the tea on: The right way to use storytelling to build connection (and what not to do) How to express your values in corporate settings without burning bridges The myth of “your truth” and why it's hurting more brands than it's helping What authenticity is not—and why that distinction matters Whether you're leading a team, pitching a brand, or building your legacy, this episode will sharpen how you show up, how you connect, and how you lead. What You'll Learn: The difference between real authenticity and harmful oversharing Why “being yourself” isn't always the right move—and what to do instead How to use storytelling to position yourself, not just share trauma When to lead with your values and when to hold them back What makes your personal brand truly memorable Mentioned Resources: Dr. Danisha's book: Taking My Voice Back and From Foster to PhD Book time with Danisha: https://calendly.com/danishakeating/authorsandspeakers Your Next Steps: Ambitious Women: Take our Influence Growth Assessment and discover your unique influence and how to use it to boost your profitability: https://myinfluencestyle.com Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/shaynarattlerdavis Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/shaynarattlerdavis

Summary: In this episode of #70secondCEO, Carl Gould breaks down a simple but powerful time management formula to help leaders get others to perform at a high level. Using the 20-20-60 Rule, Carl shows how to divide your time: 20% coaching, mentoring, and empowering your team 20% strategic thinking and planning 60% doing your core responsibilities You'll learn how to become the center of a coaching ecosystem—managing up, coaching across, and empowering down. This framework helps leaders scale results and build stronger teams. Read full transcript: Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of  investment per day for a lifetime of results. You need to get others to perform at a high level. That means you have to empower them, that means you have to coach them, guide them, and mentor them. So let me give you a couple of statistics here to play around with a couple of formulas how you spend your time. Alright, you are gonna take on in Stage 3 here, is “How well do you get others to perform at a high level?” So I'm gonna give you a little time management formula called 20-20-60: 20% of your time, 20% of your time, 60 % of your time. So in Stage 3, 20% of your time should be spent coaching, guiding, enabling, mentoring others to make them better. You ever hear the expression “you have to manage up and coach up?” That's right. You coach, you're a manager on how to interact with you better. You coach your stakeholders, your colleagues, the people that you deal with on a regular basis that are one degree of separation from you. And if there's anyone that does report to you, you coach and empower down as well. So you become the center of a coaching and empowerment network or ecosystem. And that's how you're gonna make them better. 20% of your time on coaching, mentoring, guiding, and enabling. 20% of your time on strategic thinking: How do I make things better? How do I plan? How do I set goals? And how do I achieve those goals? And then 60% of your time on your job description.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more, my name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

Many schools face a common challenge: how to cultivate staff wellbeing and build a thriving culture amid fragmented efforts and wellbeing initiatives that often fall short or don’t last. Leaders want teams that feel connected, supported and energised, because when staff wellbeing flourishes, students benefit too, and the whole school community thrives. Yet, creating this kind of cohesive, sustainable wellbeing culture is far from straightforward. In this episode, we welcome back David Kolpak, Principal at Trinity College North School and Visible Wellbeing Facilitator, with Professor Lee Waters. With over 30 years of education experience, David is a passionate advocate for whole-school wellbeing rooted in positive psychology and tailored to each school’s unique context. Drawing on his new book Thriving Together and years of national and international speaking, David shares powerful insights on building resilient teams, fostering growth mindsets, and embedding wellbeing in everyday school life. Together, we explore practical strategies and mindsets that help schools move beyond short-term fixes toward thriving communities. In this episode, we cover: How positive psychology shifts the focus from what’s wrong to what’s strong, balancing challenges with strengths and everyday moments of joy Using staff wellbeing audits and appreciative inquiry to identify strengths, gaps and next steps Why effective wellbeing approaches must be context-driven, collaborative and embedded into everyday school life Designing systems that integrate wellbeing into the school’s core operations rather than treat it as an add-on or one-off initiative Building real-life resilience in staff and students by normalising setbacks and fostering emotional authenticity and shifting from rescuing to coaching How to foster a coaching culture built on trust, where feedback is safe, purposeful and focused on growth for both staff and students Helping staff focus on what they can control by owning emotional responses and validating challenges How schools can sustain wellbeing efforts through intentional rituals, routines and systems that promote reflection, celebration and consistent practice. About David David Kolpak (MEd, BEd, BTeach) is the Principal of Trinity College North in Adelaide (EY–10), a role he has held for six years. With over 30 years of experience in education and leadership, David is a respected advocate for Positive Education and whole-school wellbeing. He has led the design and delivery of Positive Education programs spanning early years to Year 10, embedding positive psychology principles across curriculum and school culture. David is an experienced national and international speaker, having presented at conferences such as the Positive Education Schools Association, the Positive Schools Conference, and the International Positive Psychology Association World Congress. A Visible Wellbeing Facilitator with Professor Lea Waters, David recently published his book Thriving Together, offering schools a practical blueprint for fostering flourishing learning communities through wellbeing and entrepreneurial mindsets. He is passionate about empowering students and staff to co-create positive environments that sustain wellbeing and growth.

Brad Young in for Chris Rongey today. Leaders from Covenant House join Amy and Brad to discuss their local efforts; could the government tax the rich even more?; Matt Pauley says the sweep of the Guardians was impressive; is a Webster restaurant going too far to stop weed smells?

For the lives of these two great Apostles, we can only recommend a reading of the entire New Testament, which contains accounts of their lives and many of their inspired writings. St Peter, after preaching in Judea, Antioch and parts of Asia, came to Rome, where he was crucified by order of the Emperor Nero, about the year 66. Being led to the cross, he begged the executioner to crucify him upside-down, because he felt unworthy to partake of the same death as the Savior.   St Paul's apostolic labors extended from Arabia to Spain. He also ended his earthly course in Rome, beheaded by order of Nero, some say at the same time that St Peter was crucified.

What if cultural fluency was the leadership skill no one taught you—but every global leader needs? Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jane Hyun—global leadership strategist, executive coach, and author of three books including "Breaking the Bamboo Ceiling"—to explore how high-performing teams thrive on difference, not in spite of it. Jane shares how her early years as an immigrant in New York shaped a lifelong commitment to helping people lead across cultural lines with authenticity and impact. We unpack her concept of “cultural fluency”—the skill of working effectively with people who don't look, think, or act like you. It's not about checking boxes. It's about making the invisible visible and using difference as a leadership advantage. Jane explains how organizations often overlook deep cultural factors that influence trust, motivation, and team dynamics—and what happens when they start to notice. From keynotes to executive coaching, Jane builds frameworks that help leaders and organizations lead better, sell better, and grow smarter—especially in a world that's only becoming more complex and connected. We also talk about the emotional and intellectual work of carrying an idea like “breaking the bamboo ceiling” for over 20 years—and how thought leadership evolves when it's lived, not just taught. If you lead teams, create culture, or want to sharpen your edge as a communicator—this conversation is your wake-up call. Cultural fluency isn't optional anymore. It's mission-critical. Three Key Takeaways: • Cultural Fluency Is a Learnable Leadership Skill Cultural fluency—Jane's signature concept—isn't innate, and it's not just about surface-level etiquette. It's the ability to recognize, respect, and leverage human differences to drive better business outcomes. Leaders who develop this skill are more effective at collaboration, innovation, and navigating global complexity. • Difference Drives Performance—When It's Understood Multicultural teams only outperform homogeneous ones when leaders understand how to harness cultural differences. Suppressing difference creates friction and missed opportunity. Embracing it—with intention—unlocks trust, engagement, and results. • Thought Leadership Is a Lifelong Journey, Not a Title Jane didn't set out to become a thought leader—she followed her curiosity and passion to solve a problem she lived through. Over time, that experience evolved into frameworks, language (“breaking the bamboo ceiling,” “cultural fluency”), and a platform that empowers others. The best thought leadership emerges from lived experience, not just expertise. If today's episode sparked your thinking on cultural fluency and leading across differences, you'll want to dive into our conversation on "The Intersection of Leadership, Business, Culture, and Spirituality" with Eboni Adams Monk. It explores similar themes—like authentic leadership, navigating complexity, and creating inclusive spaces—but adds a powerful lens of purpose and spiritual alignment. Both episodes offer insight into what it really takes to lead with intention in today's diverse, fast-changing world. Don't miss it.

Nemil Dalal from Coinbase discusses the x402 protocol, a new open standard that enables AI agents to make cryptocurrency payments for online resources using the long-dormant HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code. The conversation covers stablecoin fundamentals, including how they work and who maintains their stability, before exploring how crypto wallets with multi-signature capabilities could protect AI agents from adversarial attacks while keeping humans in control. They examine forward-looking questions about whether this technology could finally create a viable alternative to advertising models, what happens when millions of AI agents have wallets, and the need for reputation systems in an agent economy. The discussion highlights how cryptocurrency, originally designed to be beyond nation-state control, might become the perfect enabling technology for AI economic participation.

The lines between physical and digital reality are increasingly blurred, especially for children. Today's conversation between John and his daughter Laura, reminds us that spiritual formation and family life are happening at the same time. Often in the midst of unprecedented technological change. The challenge, then, is not to fear technology but to become wise in how we use it, especially when it comes to guiding the next generation. We need parents, mentors, and spiritual friends, who are willing to help young people stay grounded in the real world—where eye contact, touch, boredom, and community shape our souls far more deeply than curated images or trending videos.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Key Takeaways Stories transcend information: They build emotional connections, spark change, and offer a sense of possibility, making lessons memorable.Communicate the "why": Effective storytelling focuses on the purpose or benefit, not just the "what" (features) of a product, service, or company. Examples like Wipro's integrity, Starbucks' commitment to coffee experience, and Patagonia's environmental mission illustrate this powerfully."Facts tell, stories sell": Narratives are far more persuasive than data alone, engaging audiences on a deeper, emotional level.Storytelling is a versatile tool: It's effective for inculcating values, differentiating brands, recruiting talent (e.g., Google's unique recruitment puzzles), and fostering employee engagement.Leaders can cultivate this skill: Practice telling stories that are truthful, purposeful, simple, relatable (real-life references), and incorporate strategic vulnerability to inspire and connect with teams.#hashtags #Storytelling #Leadership #EffectiveCommunication #BusinessStrategy #CorporateCulture #BrandBuilding #EmployeeEngagement #InspiringLeaders #WhyOfTheBusiness #Patagonia #Starbucks #Wipro #Google #Coacharya #Podcast#hashtags #Storytelling #Leadership #EffectiveCommunication #BusinessStrategy #CorporateCulture #BrandBuilding #EmployeeEngagement #InspiringLeaders #WhyOfTheBusiness #Patagonia #Starbucks #Wipro #Google #Coacharya #Podcast

Doesn't it seem like everything is hyperconnected, screen-centric today? In a matrixed existence how are we meant to find pockets of peace in the day? It can feel almost impossible to grasp. The peace has a hard time flourishing in an online environment that usually amplifies outrage, judgment, and anxiety. Leading voices today have noted that social media gives us the power to express contempt with increasing ease. It's not pretty out there. And too often, Christians have joined the chorus of division and often led it. But Scripture reminds us: peace is not found in being right, it is a fruit of the Spirit. It grows not from surrender. Peace is not about willpower; it's something we experience as we let go of judgment, hurry, and the illusion of control.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - click hereNo one would try to stream a 4K video on a '95 Windows computer—but in the auto industry, we're still trying to lead today's transformation with leadership models built decades ago.That's the hard truth Jan puts on the table in this conversation with Terry Woychowski, President of Caresoft and former GM executive. Together, they unpack what's holding the industry back—and it's not a shortage of technology or talent. It's the culture. It's the leadership.Terry walks through real examples of how legacy systems get in the way—from product specs that haven't been questioned in decades to organizational structures that reward risk avoidance over innovation. He compares that with how Chinese OEMs are approaching development differently. They make faster decisions, rely less on in-house development, and focus on speed and learning rather than perfection. They're not immune to fear, he says, but they don't let it dictate the pace of progress.But this isn't just a teardown of bad habits. Terry zooms in on what good leadership looks like today. It's not command-and-control. It's mission-first, culturally aware, and brutally honest. It's being willing to get "dragged across the hone"—his metaphor for the painful but necessary growth process. Because leaders who avoid discomfort? They stay dull.There's also accountability. Terry learned it early, growing up on a dairy farm, where cows—and their mess—don't wait for permission. You get the job done, period. That same mindset carried him through the plant floor at GM, where he once let loose in a way he thought would end his career, only to be welcomed with applause. Not because he lost his temper, but because he finally spoke the language of the plant.Jan and Terry talk honestly about the cultural gaps that legacy auto still hasn't closed. Technology? Finance? Those are solvable. However, if the leadership culture stays frozen in time, no investment will be enough.In the end, one thing is clear: you can't lead the future of automotive using the same culture that got you here. If the industry wants to survive the disruption ahead, it needs leaders willing to question everything, especially the way things have always been done.Themes discussed in this episode:The need to replace outdated leadership models to compete in the EV eraThe culture gap between Chinese OEMs and traditional automakersWhy true leaders embrace discomfort—and what happens when they don'tThe cultural transformation needed to support EV and software-defined vehicle innovationThe importance of fast decision-making in today's global auto marketWhy cultural alignment matters more than strategy when leading changeWhy the auto industry needs focused leadership amid rising global competitionFeatured guest: Terry WoychowskiWhat he does: Terry J.

Show Summary: On this episode of the Grow My Accounting Practice podcast, Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader and founder of AI Leadership, joins us to explore how leaders can effectively harness the power of AI to drive smarter, faster decision-making. Geoff shares his personal journey into the world of AI and breaks down why, despite knowing AI is the future, many leaders feel stuck when it comes to getting started. He explains how technology doesn't just change jobs — it reshapes which skills are valued and how processes are executed. Geoff emphasizes that it's not the tools, but the leaders who use them, that ultimately determine the impact on an organization. He also highlights a common pitfall: most professionals are using generative AI for minor, tactical tasks rather than for strategic initiatives that truly move the needle. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to shift from overwhelm to innovation and unlock the real potential of AI in their firm.   Website: aileadership.com aileadership.com/start Corporate Partner:Universal Accounting - https://universalaccounting.com/ Profit First App Version 2.0 is here!  More Education.

Ever heard the phrase “may you live in interesting times?” Seems applicable these days. And it's causing a lot of people to live with a constant feeling of anxiety that nags at you, sapping at your energy throughout the day, so by bedtime, you're exhausted but still can't sleep. Financial stress is a primary source. According to an April 2025 survey, fewer than 45% of Americans say they're in better than fair shape financially. Which means more than 50% are not ok. Well, there's a good chance that it's not your fault. Because many Americans did not grow up with the family support to develop financial literacy from a young age. Maybe you were told family finances were “none of your business.” Layer on top that often parents and grandparents didn't have a strong financial foundation of understanding to start with either. Anders Jones has been taking matters around this topic into his own hands ever since a series of twists and turns brought him into what he and his mother jokingly call "the family business", even though the family doesn't have a business and they never worked together.Growing up, Anders was fortunate to not really want for much of anything. His mom worked at Fidelity and helped millions of Americans prepare for retirement. His stepdad was a British guy who gifted him his first car, complete with a single CD disc changer and two requirements.Graduating college in 2009, at the height of a financial crisis, he didn't have a whole lot of prospects for becoming an investment banker or going into private equity. So he joined a Web 2.0 company owned by a serial entrepreneur whose method was to hire young, promising talent and empower them to figure things out. After a while, they sold the company. Since then, he's become involved with several ventures, including co-founding a financial planning firm called Facet.Now, Anders says that he feels so fortunate that if he were to die and be reincarnated, he'd want to come back as himself. That's not something many people would say. So at what moment did the boomerang whack him in the face and show him why Fine Is a 4-Letter Word?Well hang on, because when you meet Anders, you'll find out that this time, it's you, the listener, for whom things are not "fine". Up until now, you've been told that money is a taboo topic. Up until now, you've been told to trust your gut, then gotten lambasted when you did and things didn't work out as planned. It's time for new conversations on a lot of topics. Anders is going to get us started on three - gratitude, mindfulness, and financial literacy. There's a reason he picks three, which you'll also find out. Anders' hype song is “Riding With The King” by B.B. King & Eric Clapton.Resources:Anders Jones' website: https://facet.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anders-jones/ Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to...

Listeners are encouraged to clarify their own controllable factors to gain focus and resilience.

Building systems and relationships around shared support fosters sustainable success. Business Chaos is Often Personal Chaos: Many external challenges reflect unresolved internal conflicts. Addressing the personal side of leadership often unlocks the solutions to business problems. One action small business owners can take: According to Will Samson, one action a small business owner should take is to make a list dividing what they can control and what they can't—this simple exercise brings clarity, reduces overwhelm, and empowers focused, intentional decision-making.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are four seasoned infantry task force seniors. LTC Andy Smith is the TF Senior for Task Force 2 (IN BN) with ten rotations as an Observer – Coach – Trainer and six rotations as a rotational training unit. LTC Matt Bandi is the TF Senior for Task Force 3 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and four rotations as RTU. LTC(P) Timothy Price is the TF Senior for Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) with twenty-one rotations as an OCT and seven rotations as RTU. And LTC Chuck Wall is the TF Senior for Task Force 1 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and five rotations as RTU. This episode of The Crucible centers on the raw, uncompromising realities of infantry warfighting in the LSCO environment, drawing directly from firsthand observations at JRTC. The discussion highlights how success on the modern battlefield is built on a foundation of small-unit fundamentals—movement, marksmanship, reporting, and rehearsals. Leaders emphasize that doctrinal clarity and simplicity at the squad and platoon level remain decisive, especially under pressure from drone surveillance, EW interference, and contested logistics. Units that survive and win are those that maintain discipline in their fieldcraft: they camouflage well, rehearse everything, and operate with a combat mindset that anticipates disruption rather than being surprised by it.   The conversation also underscores the importance of deliberate leadership placement, effective use of terrain, and clarity in commander's intent. Fieldcraft isn't just about staying hidden—it's about moving smart, planning for degraded comms, and sustaining yourself under fire. Leaders describe how critical it is for junior NCOs and officers to own their piece of the battlefield, from shaping local security zones to enforcing LOGSTAT discipline. The episode drives home that modernization won't compensate for a lack of tactical proficiency—and that high-tech tools like sUAS, ATAK, or digital fires architecture only matter if teams have mastered the analog skills to shoot, maneuver, communicate, and survive under stress.   Remember, Professionals train for the fight—they rehearse under pressure, refine fundamentals, and prepare for the worst-case scenario. Amateurs train until they get it right; professionals train until they can't get it wrong. In LSCO, that difference means survival.   Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Joy is not an accident. It's a fruit of the Spirit that grows from attention, action, and cultivation. In contrast much of our online lives are lived passively comparing ourselves to others without even thinking about it. Algorithms are designed to keep us longing for what we don't have, by showing us lives just out of reach. This is an upward envy that creates a downward disdain and erodes joy. But God life with God gives us the good work of Joy. Joy is deep, personal, and often tied to the relationships that reflect God's love and goodness.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
