In this special episode, Gresham Harkless reflects on attending a Discovery Day with Neighborly, a franchisor with a wide range of brands, including standout options like 4 Candidate, an appealing fit for one of his prospects. Gresham discusses refining his process by potentially merging the initial and second calls with prospects to build stronger rapport and qualify leads more efficiently. He admits he hasn't yet taken anyone through the entire broker process, but recognizes that many in the industry aren't actively generating leads and rely too heavily on organic efforts.

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) I'm 28 and been with my partner for four years. He's always been the one to initiate sex and I thought he liked it that way. But, now he's told me he's sick of it and wants me to take the lead—not just with initiating, but during sex as well. I have no idea how to do this. Can you help?2) I had a bit of a thing with my neighbor. We're both single, but have teenage children and didn't want them to know anything was going on. Two months in, we got busted by my daughter and now it's in the open. The kids are delighted—but I'm not interested anymore. I liked the excitement of sneaking around and having hot sex. I never did want a relationship, but now feel like it's expected. What do I do?3) I grew up with parents who had an open relationship and were very open about sex. I'm now 24 and want to settle down with my girlfriend, but she doesn't trust me because of my parents' attitude toward sex. They've made it plain they think I'm too young to marry and should be having fun. How do I convince her I'm not like them and want to live a normal, stable married life?To have Tracey and Kelsey discuss YOUR secret sex question, enter it anonymously at https://bit.ly/3C4AelUWant a copy of Tracey's book, Great Sex Starts at 50?

Send us a textThere was a time when knowing your neighbors wasn't just common—it was expected. Today, that simple connection has become increasingly rare. Josh and Amanda unpack why neighborhood relationships have faded and what we've collectively lost in the process.The numbers tell a troubling story: nearly one in six Americans don't know any neighbors' names, with this figure jumping to 26% among millennials. Even more striking, 65% of Americans admit to actively hiding from their neighbors. What happened to the neighborhood connections many of us remember from childhood?Whether you're a front-porch sitter who knows everyone on the block or someone who ducks behind curtains when neighbors approach, this episode will make you reflect on what true community means in today's world. Perhaps it's time to rekindle those front-yard conversations—or at least learn your neighbor's name.Have you met your neighbors lately?

Sarah Richardson, of Rochester, Minnesota, never expected to transform corporate gifting. As a graphic designer, she was focused on helping clients build their brands. But when the pandemic hit, a weekend idea to create an e-commerce platform for locally sourced Easter baskets turned into Gift Rochester, raising $6,000 for local businesses in one week. When Mayo Clinic sought employee recognition gifts, the project exploded, growing 12,000% in its first year. Now known as Neighborly Gifts, the company operates in five states, partnering with 200 small businesses to create curated gift boxes for corporate clients.
How do we relate to people who demonstrate values that are offensive or fundamentally different from our own? What does it mean to engage with integrity, especially when we encounter messages—on yard signs, bumper stickers, or even in casual conversations—that challenge our beliefs?

They explore the importance of relationship context, personal boundaries, and how to respond with authenticity. Plus, they break down the difference between evangelism and proselytizing, redefining what it means to live our values rather than imposing them on others. Tune in to hear share stories, strategies, and reflections on how to approach these challenging interactions while staying true to our faith and principles.
