From a hut in a refugee camp to Harvard, bestselling author and social entrepreneur Mawi Asgedom shares how scarcity forged creativity, grit, and a new relationship with wealth. He walks us through his “sunlight” framework—relationships, creativity, experiences, and self-care—as the human energy source behind bold action. Mawi reveals the scrappy campaign that landed him on Oprah (and tripled his advance), the shift from one-to-one speaking to community-wide literacy initiatives, and the strategy that scaled his impact: ed-tech courses with per-student revenue and a professional team. We unpack moving from trading time for money to building sellable income streams and, later, becoming a senior-secured lender. At the core: money is just one slice of true wealth. If you need a push to reframe your model and hit your turbo button—this is it.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more at mawi.comFollow Mawi on LinkedInRead Of Beetles and Angels by Mawi AsgedomBecome a real estate agent HEREHomeTeam Inspection Service is changing the way agents and clients experience home inspections.

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastRyan Gillen built a $90M real estate business by flipping the script on lead generation, turning community into his greatest asset. Growing up in a real estate family, Ryan learned to hustle early and quickly realized cold calling and chasing FSBOs wasn't a long-term game. Instead, he leaned into what he loved: golf, country clubs, and connecting people.By starting small networking groups and masterminds, Ryan became “the mayor” of his circles, introducing like-minded professionals and solving problems together. That sense of community not only gave members real value, it also fueled millions of dollars worth of annual referrals to his team. In this episode, Ryan breaks down his simple but powerful model: find a problem, gather people who share it, and create consistent spaces to connect.If you've ever dreaded lead gen, this conversation is proof that it doesn't have to be painful. When you build groups around your passions, business flows naturally and relationships become your most profitable investment.Resources:The Millionaire Real Estate Agent (book by Gary Keller, Dave Jenks, and Jay Papasan)MAPS Coaching with Leah LembergKeller Williams Mega CampMREA Notes (weekly models & systems PDF)Millionaire Real Estate Agent Podcast NewsletterOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Attorney-turned-operator Kendall Bonner joins Julia and Emerick to unpack how modern marketing—and a CEO mindset—can transform a real estate career into a durable business. Kendall shares the story behind her new role at eXp and how “asking” created the opportunity, then walks through the unconventional engine that scaled her team to 200+ sides without cold calling or portal leads. From AI, video, and Google-based intent to her “Data D's” framework for finding motivated movers, Kendall shows agents how to speak to life events, not just listings. We break down brokerage vs. team economics, revenue vs. profit, and why profit is intentional. Kendall also urges agents to buy back their time, add ancillary revenue around a single client journey, and actually invest in the asset we sell. She closes with a challenge: decide what's non-negotiable—then live it.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREThis episode is brought to you by HomeTeam Inspection Service.When you partner with HomeTeam, you're getting more than a home inspection—you're delivering The HomeTeam Experience.

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastWe're back with one of our favorites, James Shaw—our go-to authority for when markets get weird. James runs the Pivot: SHIFT Ahead community of 125,000 agents and has spent the last decade teaching the exact playbook to win when the market turns. Today, we unpack Gary Keller's book, SHIFT: How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times with simple steps you can run today to set goals, generate leads, convert appointments, and price to sell.James reminds us that consistency without value is annoying, and value without consistency is anonymous. That truth runs through everything we cover in this episode: from calculating your LID number—lifestyle, investing, and debt—to doubling down on the lead generation strategies that already work, and cultivating your database so you're top of mind when people move from “not ready” to “ready.” James also shares practical pricing conversations you can use today. At the core, James brings clarity when he says growth in any market comes from clear goals, real priorities, and focused action.Resources:Read SHIFT: How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times by Gary Keller, Jay Papasan, and Dave JenksJames Shaw's Pivot: SHIFT Ahead Facebook group and daily mastermindListen: Pivot: SHIFT Ahead daily call podcastListen: Episode 18.

Real estate is one of the rare industries where anyone with a license, a laptop, and a car can build a path to wealth—if we treat it like a business from day one. In this episode, we sit down with Jay Papasan, co-author of The ONE Thing and The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, and now author of the Rookie Real Estate Agent book.We explore why the fastest on-ramp for many is joining a team, how to set realistic goals based on net (not gross commission), and why open houses remain one of the most powerful activities for new and seasoned agents alike.At the core of his message: success comes from mastering the basics. Build and work a database, balance prospecting and marketing, and adopt habits that scale. Whether we're new to the industry or revisiting our foundation, Jay reminds us that staying curious, humble, and focused on the essentials is what drives long-term success.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyRead Rookie Real Estate Agent by Jay PapasanBecome a real estate agent HEREHomeTeam Inspection Service is changing the way agents and clients experience home inspections.

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcast Imagine flipping a sluggish quarter into $21.1 million in just two months. That's exactly what Jonathan Mills and his Gainesville, Florida team did. With a simple, repeatable, eight-week model, they swapped their snails for race cars.Jonathan's team already closed over 200 transactions a year, but when the market shifted and Q1 fell flat, Jonathan built a gamified model that paired agents with admin, tracked key activities daily, and rewarded accountability. The result? New agents began stacking a deal each week and referrals poured in from unexpected places—even from hospital giveaways! A culture of action turned fear into momentum.We break down the entire eight-by-eight playbook: the daily steps, the point system, the weekly bunker meeting, and the mindset shift that made this plan work. Whether you're a solo real estate agent or running a team of real estate agents, you'll leave with a blueprint you can start tomorrow and the clarity to measure the right actions.Resources:Learn more about The Mills GroupBOLD / Onward BOLD frameworkFellow.aiOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

What if the real drivers of wealth aren't budgets and spreadsheets, but mindset, habits, and the spaces we live in? In this episode, Julia Lashay sits down with Patrice Washington—author, coach, and founder of Redefining Wealth®—to explore the Six Pillars of Wealth and the psychology that shapes our financial lives.Patrice shares her rise in real estate, the 2007 collapse that forced her to start over, and how surrender and radical honesty reshaped her path. We talk about the biases that keep people stuck, why high achievers often neglect their health and financial planning, and how clearing clutter in our relationships, spaces, and beliefs opens the door to better money outcomes.Patrice explains each pillar—Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, and Money—showing how they intersect to protect vision and create freedom. She reminds us not to weaponize today's wisdom against our past selves, to choose from faith instead of fear, and to let joy be both the standard and the currency for our decisions.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more about Patrice's work at patricewashington.comListen to the Redefining Wealth PodcastPillar MasteryBecome a real estate agent HEREThis episode is brought to you by HomeTeam Inspection Service.When you partner with HomeTeam, you're getting more than a home inspection—you're delivering The HomeTeam Experience. With a team approach, fast turnarounds, and package options that include home inspection warranties, HomeTeam helps real estate pros stand out.

Built Not Born Podcast: Jay Papasan - The Rookie Real Estate Agent, Why Busy Means Broke, and Turning Focus Into a Superpower - Episode 174

Fall may be arriving slowly in San Antonio, but change is in the air. Recorded live at Mega Camp, this episode explores the seasons of business and life—the times to plant, prune, and harvest, and the challenge of closing one chapter while stepping into the next.We dive into the emotional duality of transitions, the “inside game” of self-awareness and growth, and how to hold both pride and grief when roles shift. Along the way, we reflect on lessons that compound over time, the danger of comparing your insides to others' outsides, and the legacy created when representation and resilience intersect.The invitation is simple: embrace the season you're in. See the joy, allow the grief, and carry forward the lessons.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

What if the most powerful tool in real estate wasn't a bulldozer or a checkbook—but a clear, fast answer to “What can I really build on this land?”We sit down with Whitney Blanco, founder and CEO of Acreage AI, to explore how AI turns zoning, policy, comps, infrastructure plans, and even public sentiment into an actionable feasibility playbook. A former civil engineer and global public-health strategist, Whitney calls herself “a humanitarian who does real estate,” and shows how clarity up front prevents costly, infeasible plans down the line.We dig into building a company the scrappy way—selling useful reports, iterating with customers, and proving value before seeking capital—while confronting the funding gap women (and especially Black women) face. Along the way, we rethink due diligence: fewer blind spots, faster timelines, and better decisions without replacing expert judgment. If you've ever wondered what your land can really support—and how to get from maybe to go—this conversation delivers.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Acreage on LinkedIn and find out more on Acreage.EarthConnect with Whitney on LinkedInBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Watch the full episode on our new YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastWe're welcoming Sahil Bloom to the show—a thinker whose work has become a true phenomenon. Sahil's book, The 5 Types of Wealth, hit the New York Times bestseller list for seven weeks and his newsletter, The Curiosity Chronicle, is devoured by nearly a million readers four times a week. In this conversation, Sahil lays out the model that's reshaping how so many leaders approach life, success, and what it really means to be wealthy.Sahil doesn't settle for the usual conversation about wealth. Instead, he breaks it down into five categories: time, social, mental, physical, and financial. He challenges us to get radically clear about what matters most in each domain—moving away from automatic living and into intentional design. We get practical about the exercises and mindset shifts that helped Sahil build his own multidimensional life, like when he moved cross-country for his family and reframed financial goals as a tool (not the endgame).

Think the housing market is headed for disaster? Logan Mohtashami says: Look closer at the numbers. As lead analyst for HousingWire—nicknamed “the Chart Daddy”—Logan brings data-driven clarity to a topic often clouded by headlines and fear. He reveals why the 2008 crash was an anomaly, not a blueprint, and how America's housing system is fundamentally built for ownership, not perpetual crisis.We dig into why rising mortgage rates haven't stopped millions from buying homes, why millennials and Gen Z are fueling new demand, and how the 30-year fixed mortgage remains one of the best inflation hedges around. With record homeowner equity and little risk of a foreclosure wave, Logan gives us real reasons for optimism—and reminds us that behind every chart is a family building their future.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyListen to Logan Mohtashami on the HousingWire PodcastBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

We brought together two giants—Mel Robbins and Gary Keller—to unpack what it really means to let go and build a life that matters. Mel shares her “Let Them Theory,” challenging us to stop burning energy trying to control other people's opinions or the market. The real shift? Your happiness is tied to your own actions, not anyone else's.Gary takes that idea and anchors it in the real estate world: you can't control the market, your competition, or what people think of you. You can only control your own time, your lead generation, and your response to challenges. Both Mel and Gary agree—if you want a bigger business and a bigger life, let others do what they're going to do, and focus on what's actually in your control.And when it comes down to it, the answer is always love. Love people as they are, build your business by helping others, and remember: the only thing stopping you is giving your power away. Ready to live with more freedom and clarity?

From protecting Austin's live music scene to launching the University of Texas's largest NIL fund, Nick Shuley's career has always centered on impact—and on people.In this episode, we sit down with Nick to unpack how he found himself at the forefront of the NIL movement, fighting to ensure college athletes weren't just paid, but supported.

He and Daniel also dive into the origin of the Third and Longhorn podcast—a platform that's helped athletes tell their stories, grow their brands, and in one case, even find a new home for a food truck.Whether you care about sports, social equity, or just love a good underdog story, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and heart.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Nick Shuley on Instagram: @nickshuleyConnect with Nick Shuley on LinkedInBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Today, we're pulling back the curtain with Hudson Santana, a powerhouse developer and agent whose team closes $150 million a year in the heart of Boston. Hudson's journey is anything but typical. Growing up in the Amazon in Brazil, he made his way to Boston, started out bartending, and—thanks to a push from his wife—jumped into real estate. What sets Hudson apart isn't just his volume, but also his knack for seeing potential where others see only what's in front of them.In this episode, Hudson shares how he built his business by becoming a master of spotting hidden value in properties, diving deep into zoning, and leveraging local knowledge to unlock profit others overlook. We get tactical about how you can start thinking like a developer—no deep pockets required—and how becoming the local expert on what's possible (not just what exists) changes the game for your business and your wealth.Hudson breaks down the systems, mindset, and everyday actions that led him from “just getting by” to building generational wealth, and how any agent can follow the same blueprint. If you've ever wondered how to take your real estate business from transactional to transformational, this is the conversation you don't want to miss.Resources:Santana Team – Hudson's companyEmail Hudson at Hudson@SantanaTeam.com for his free Zoom class on developmentOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 2Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

We're sitting down with Susan Lombardo, the “mayor” of her Atlanta neighborhood and a master of geographic farming. Starting with postcards, consistency, and an obsession with service, Susan built a $40 million solo business and then turned it into a $65 million team. Susan shares how she transitioned from a 20-year insurance career to earning Rookie of the Year in real estate by quickly building a hyper-local brand and trusted vendor network, becoming the go-to resource for homeowners in her community.We break down her farming playbook: sending big, bold, neighborhood-specific mailers every month (without fail), always leading with value, and following up for years to come.

What do Olympic athletes, real estate agents, and university professors have in common? They all eventually hit a breaking point and the best  come back stronger. Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe is one of the world's leading experts on how resilience makes this happen.A celebrated scholar, international speaker, and author of Calm Within the Storm, Stress Wisely, and the upcoming I Hope So, Robyne joins us to share her five-pillar model of everyday resiliency—a framework grounded in 20 years of research, wrapped in stories you won't forget.We dive into her journey and her breaking points, from teen dropout to tenured professor to full-time resilience coach. And how a life-changing car accident (and one brilliant question from her son) prompted her to walk away from her “dream job” to pursue a new path. Her message? Resilience isn't about pushing through. It's about aligning with what matters most.With clarity, science, and heartfelt personal stories, Robyne unpacks the five pillars of resilience—Belonging, Perspective, Acceptance, Hope, and Humor—and gives us the tools to model them, especially in the face of stress, rejection, or uncertainty in the real estate world.Resources:Read Dr. Robyne's books:Calm Within the StormStress WiselyI Hope So (Pre-order—releases 2/10/2026)Follow Dr. Robyne on Instagram: @drrobyneRead: The Body Keeps the Score by Dr. Bessel van der KolkRead: The Anxious Generation by Dr. Jonathan HaidtOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 2Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.
