130K+ listings are set to expire in January. Why then do so many agents not work expireds? It's hard to understand, because these are the people who need your help most.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt talks about a gap in the recovery world that almost nobody wants to name: families are expected to learn everything about addiction, but addicts are rarely required to learn the same depth about the damage addiction causes on the other side.This episode breaks down what “support” actually looks like when trust has been destroyed by lying, gaslighting, hidden use, infidelity, or financial chaos. Matt explains why empathy is not a zero-sum game, why “leave the past in the past” doesn't work in real life, and how betrayal trauma changes the brain and nervous system in ways most recovery programs don't teach.If you're a man in recovery who wants to rebuild a relationship, this is a roadmap. If you love someone in recovery and feel like the system keeps asking more of you, this episode will put language to what you've been carrying.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Happy Mindset Monday!Comparison is quiet — but it's powerful. And if left unchecked, it can convince you that you're falling behind even when you're growing.In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, I unpack why comparison drains confidence, steals joy, and disconnects us from our own progress — and how gratitude and intention help bring us back to ourselves.

Can you think of where you learned work ethic from, or maybe where you learned laziness? In those memories is a lesson, and behind every lesson is a choice. How will you choose to interpret your experiences so that you can create the best future possible? That's what I'm talking about in this Mindset Monday. 

In this episode, Barry breaks down the major disruptions reshaping the real estate industry—from commission compression after the NAR settlement to rapid consolidation driven by companies like Zillow, Redfin, and Compass. He explains why traditional agent models are becoming increasingly vulnerable and why many agents may exit the industry by 2026 if they don't adapt. Barry challenges agents to shift from a sales mindset to an entrepreneurial one, emphasizing brand ownership, multiple revenue streams, and scalable systems. This conversation is a wake-up call for agents who want to future-proof their business, leverage technology and AI, and build long-term financial freedom beyond personal production.

Happy Mindset Monday!Complaining feels natural.Gratitude feels intentional.In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, I explore why complaining is emotionally comfortable — and why gratitude, while harder, is the path to real growth, leadership, and fulfillment.This episode isn't about pretending things are fine. It's about recognizing where we give away our power — and how gratitude helps us take it back.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt gets real about why the holidays are a pressure cooker for people in recovery and for the families who love them. He shares hard personal memories from his last Christmas in active addiction and his first Christmas sober, and breaks down the three stages of relapse, emotional, mental, and physical, so you can catch a slip long before a drink ever hits your hand. You will hear simple rules for getting through parties, travel, and family drama without “testing” your recovery, plus how to talk with your spouse about support without falling into codependent patterns. Matt also walks spouses through his three tiers of holiday invitations for someone in active addiction, from full invite with hard boundaries to separate, safer meetups, so you can protect your kids and the sanctity of the day without losing your mind. If this is your first sober Christmas or your first one on your own, this episode will help you grieve what was, create new traditions, and remember there is still a fire inside you and a future worth building.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Happy Mindset Monday!Successful people don't magically wake up disciplined.They wake up deciding who they're going to be today.In this Mindset Monday episode, I break down the real reason high performers protect their mornings — not for productivity, but for presence, clarity, and alignment.

Dan shared his personal journey of growth, emphasizing stewardship—leaving people and places better than we found them—as a guiding principle for life and real estate. He highlighted three pillars for success in business: resourcefulness, resilience, and responsibility, encouraging agents to take initiative, leverage available tools and community support, and believe in their ability to solve problems.Through stories from his time as a teacher and later as an agent, Dan illustrated how resilience builds with practice, and how positive routines, mindset shifts, and personal responsibility can transform stress into strength. He reminded attendees that improving ourselves helps elevate those around us—and ultimately, the world.

Monica shared key lessons from The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino, highlighting 10 core success principles including forming strong habits, leading with love, persistence, mastering emotions, and taking action. She encouraged agents to build a three-part bucket list — to do, to have, to give — to gain clarity and attract opportunities. Monica closed by emphasizing gratitude, collaboration, and leaning on the eXp community for support and growth.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this Mindset Monday, Matt sits down with the questions men usually ask in private. These are the messages he gets from guys in crisis who are trying to get sober, repair their marriage, and figure out what it actually means to be a good man.We'll go rapid fire through questions like: • “Why do I have to be the one to change first?” • “If I am sober, why is she still angry?” • “How long is she supposed to stay mad after I apologized?” • “Why do I feel like the bad guy even when I am trying?” • “Do I get to have needs too, or is it all about her healing?” • “How much of her triggers are my responsibility?” • “What is the difference between her boundary and her controlling me?” • “Why does everything still get blamed on my addiction, even when I am sober?”   • “Why does she shut down about sex?”Matt shares the mindset shifts that helped him get and stay sober for nearly 13 years, rebuild his marriage, become a better father, and stop seeing himself as the victim of his own past.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this episode Matt breaks down why people struggling with addiction and people in relationships with addicts keep their standards low and stay stuck in the same cycles. He explains why so many men fear success more than failure, why sobriety feels terrifying even when you know you can do it, and how comfort becomes the enemy of long-term recovery.Matt shares his own story of keeping the bar on the floor for years and how Paige's unrelenting standards for honesty, integrity, and showing up as a good man forced him to confront the life he was hiding in. He talks about burning the boats on the old life that was easy but destructive, raising the bar, and finally committing to the hard work that recovery requires.This episode also speaks directly to spouses and partners of addicts, explaining why they lower expectations, avoid enforcing boundaries, and silence themselves to avoid conflict, abandonment, or disappointment. Matt shows the parallel between men avoiding effort and spouses avoiding expectations, and how both create long-term pain and resentment.If you are trying to get sober, rebuilding trust, fighting for your marriage, or trying to find yourself again after years of addiction-related chaos, this episode will give you clarity, direction, and a push toward the higher standards that lead to real change.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.independentlystrong.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

Barry led a powerful session on belief, planning, and execution—highlighting that success in real estate and life comes from consistent daily habits, not big sporadic actions. He introduced the concept of Kaizen, the practice of making small, continuous improvements, and explained James Clear's habit loop: cue → craving → response → reward. Barry shared practical steps for building strong habits in 2026, including starting small, removing friction, tracking progress, and celebrating incremental wins. He encouraged attendees to apply these principles to both business and personal goals, reminding them that the compounding effect of small, daily actions creates massive long-term results.

Susan encouraged agents to separate their identity from their production, maintain confidence, and stay committed to core activities—lead generation, valuable content, and nurturing their sphere. She highlighted the power of unity, self-care, and showing up with steady, positive energy, reminding everyone that consistent effort creates momentum and positions them for long-term success even when results are delayed.

Have you ever heard of the study where kids were lost in the woods? It gives us some pretty startling insights into the way all people actually work. 95% will stay lost.

I'm not interested in achieving balance. From all the great achievers I've met in my life, I've learned that balance is a weakness. When your life is near the end, you don't want to regret all the things left unachieved. So how can you have a healthy life and relationships? There's a more important skill than balance, and that's what I'm discussing in this Mindset Monday.

One of my mentors used to call this time of the year “Separation Season.” It's the time when you need to separate the old version of yourself from the new version.
