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.

From immigrant roots to transformative real estate projects, Rocio Hermosillo and Kuuku Saah are revitalizing the River Bend neighborhood in Des Moines, Iowa. Rocio—leader of Team Ella and one of NAHREP's top 100 Latino real estate professionals—built her career by prioritizing “work to learn” over “work to earn,” gaining mentorship, and using real estate as a tool for community impact. Kuuku, an immigrant from Ghana with a background in investment management, shifted from building wealth for corporations to creating lasting change in diverse urban neighborhoods.Together, they're restoring the historic North Des Moines Town Hall into affordable housing and a coffee shop, while adding a 24-unit apartment building with a food hall to help local food entrepreneurs thrive. In this episode, they share how aligning on values, engaging community voices, and navigating complex funding can turn vision into reality—and why reframing failure, staying disciplined, and acting on your mission are essential for making a lasting difference.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Rocio Hermosillo on ZillowBecome 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). If you're tired of chasing someone else's definition of success or just want to take your business and your life to the next level, this is the model you need.Resources:Read The 5 Types of Wealth by Sahil BloomSubscribe to Sahil Bloom's newsletter, The Curiosity ChronicleWatch Brian Gubernick's TED Talk, Time is FiniteListen: Episode 06.

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.

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?

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.

When Buwa Binitie's father told him, “I didn't raise you to work for someone else,” it wasn't a critique—it was a challenge. In this episode, we hear how that moment became the catalyst for Buwa's transformation from suit-wearing employee to the founder of Dumas Collective, a multi-vertical real estate empire that has developed or financed over 8,000 units nationwide.Buwa takes us through the pivotal moments that defined his entrepreneurial path—from a childhood surrounded by Nigerian business owners to a leap of faith that led him from a tech collapse in San Francisco to lease auditing in D.C. He reveals how mastering real estate finance and unconventional deal structuring made him the go-to expert during the financial downturn—and how he scaled by investing in people before property.More than a story about real estate, this is a story about vision, ownership, and legacy. We explore Buwa's philosophy of empowering his team as CEOs of their own domains, and how he's redefining success through wellness, mentorship, and community impact. If you're building something of your own, this episode is your invitation to bet on yourself.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyREAP (Real Estate Associate Program)Dumas CollectiveBecome 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 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.

Most real estate agents fall in love with the grind, but few pause to ask if it's building real wealth. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Coby Socher, visionary CEO of Speedy Offers and longtime real estate investor in Cleveland, Ohio, who made that pivot.Coby opens up about his early days hustling for commissions, how imposter syndrome followed his success, and the moment he realized he had the accolades, but not the assets. A single quote—“Real estate agents should be the wealthiest people on the planet, but they're not”—sparked a complete transformation.We walk through how Coby mapped out a 30-year, $350 million net worth plan and reverse-engineered every investment decision to support that vision. He breaks down his “Deal Hierarchy” for turning any property into a profit center—from wholesaling and wholetailing to full flips, rentals, and owner finance models—and explains why his buy box is the most powerful tool in his business.If you're a realtor stuck in the rat race, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about wealth, hustle, and leadership. It's not about working harder. It's about thinking bigger.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyInstagram: @cobysocherLinkedIn: Coby Socher – CEO of Speedy OffersCompany Website: Speedy OffersBecome 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 do garage sales, candy jars, and car dealerships have in common?For Brent Hanson, they're all unexpected tools in his toolkit for building one of the fastest-growing real estate teams in the country.Brent is the co-owner of City of Trees Real Estate in Boise, Idaho—a team pulling in over $200 million in annual volume—and today, he walks us through the gamified systems that made that kind of scale possible.

Brent breaks down the exact psychological models behind sales contests, how to structure one in your own business, and what made the team's 90 listings in 90 days challenge a massive success.We'll talk about the “clarity curve,” the "why triangle" from page 77 of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent, and how to hack team motivation when your people are stuck in the “earn phase” of their growth. Brent also shares why he walked away from personal production after just two years to focus entirely on leadership—and why top producers are eager to join in his gamified culture.If you've ever struggled with accountability, consistency, or just plain enthusiasm, this episode will change the way you think about motivating yourself and others.Let's dive in with Brent Hanson.Resources:Learn more: City of Trees Real EstateOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 2Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

You can do anything with the right community behind you, and this week's guest can testify to that. Lourdes was going through an extremely tough time - she was put through the ringer in the military, she found herself in $75k of household debt, and her (now ex) husband kicked her out of her own home. She needed to make a change and FAST. So she reached out to her community, including the Courage Driven Latina community, and her community came through for her.    Lourdes Fernando is a passionate advocate for veterans and a Chicago realtor specializing in VA loans. An 11-year Army National Guard veteran, she empowers fellow veterans, particularly women, to achieve financial independence and stability through the strategic use of their VA benefits. Over 90% of her business focuses on assisting veterans in securing homeownership. Beyond real estate, Lourdes actively engages in community initiatives, serving as chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee at Keller Williams Realty. Her dedication has earned her recognition, including the REALTOR® Community Service Award, underscoring her commitment to supporting and uplifting the veteran community.   In this week's episode, Lourdes shares her story of building wealth and community after her military service. She was able to find herself a new home, invest in property, clear out her debt, and save $40k in just a few years. When her previous community fell through, she joined Courage Driven Latina and dove headfirst into studying the VA benefits that are available to her. Now, she helps other vets take full advantage of their benefits and build generational wealth. Listen to Lourdes's episode to learn how you can leverage your community even in the worst of times.  Follow Lourdes on: Instagram: @lourdes_lu_fernando Website: https://www.jlhomesforyou.com/    Follow Erika on: Instagram @‌theerikacruzTikTok @‌theerikacruzLinkedIn Website: http://www.theerikacruz.com How to work with Erika: Join the waitlist for the Courage Driven Latina program here.
