Episode Overview: AI isn't just a tool—it's your next team member. In this forward-thinking episode, John Kitchens welcomes AI leaders Eric and Danielle from HUZI to break down what it really means to scale a real estate business in the era of artificial intelligence. They unpack the 4 biggest problems threatening modern agents—tech stack bloat, noise, poor messaging, and inconsistent client experiences—and how to solve them using AI the right way. From real-time contact personalization to building offers inside a dynamic AI workspace, this episode doesn't just talk AI theory—it shows you how to implement it. If you're wondering where the puck is going, this is the conversation you can't afford to miss. Key Takeaways: Rethink Your Relationship With AI AI is no longer a tool—it's a voice in the room and a team member. Don't just ask “Can AI do this?” Ask “Should I use AI for this?” The 4 Big Problems AI Solves: Tech Stack Bloat Consolidate tools and reduce inefficiencies. Platform that simplifies all the others. Noise in the Marketplace 90% of online content is AI-generated; how do you stand out? Answer: Hyper-personalized messaging and real conversations. Irrelevant or Generic Messaging Mass blasts don't work anymore—one-to-one personalization wins. Example: Prompt AI to find 5 contacts to call, explain why, and draft custom messages. Inconsistent Client Experience Experience drives lifetime value. AI helps systemize and improve it at every step. AI can read contracts, prep listing presentations, and organize your thoughts for better decisions. Bonus Concepts: Why "copycat culture" kills creativity and how AI can either magnify or overcome it. The shift from an internet of things to an internet of conversations. Satori as the first AI-powered work canvas with real-time collaboration across teams.

March 9, 2025 - Sermon from Reign City Church by Steve Kim

Do you, as a staging business owner, have the necessary skills to lead a team effectively? More like, “what if the muddy waters of team building you are wading through right now is actually the scaffold of a staging business that really thrives". No one is born leading a staging business (or any other), so I understand how hard it may sometimes be and why even though we love our businesses, this part may not be our everyday love. Just like in every other organization where people are brought together and will experience some tension, your staging business is no different. Rather, what differs is the role you play as the leader. When different personalities and work styles clash, when poor communication leads to a stream of misunderstandings, missed deadlines, and conflict, what do you do? From mine, other Staging CEOs experiences and recent reads on how to solve such challenges, let's talk about how to turn your team frustrations into your greatest opportunity for growth.    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: How to identify and address the root causes of your team frustrations How to create a growth mindset culture on your team How to delegate effectively and empower your team members How to build a strong and cohesive team   RESOURCES: Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday Cultures of Growth by Mary C.

In this episode of Life Rewired, Zach and Kristina share their personal approach to goal setting as a couple, breaking down how they use New Year's Eve to reflect and set intentional goals for the year ahead. They dive into their four main goal categories—personal, financial, business, and fitness—and how focusing on at least two meaningful goals per category creates clarity and purpose. Kristina reveals how reflecting on 2024 exposed moments where she played the victim card in hard situations, and how shifting to a strength-focused, positive mindset has become her anchor word for 2025. Zach's word, alignment, serves as a guide to ensure his actions and goals align with his core values and purpose, avoiding the constant distraction that plagues many. They discuss the importance of personal development, including lessons from The Untethered Soul, Obstacle Is The Way and The Daily Stoic, and how meditation has been pivotal for building self-awareness and fostering emotional resilience. The duo underscores the critical link between understanding your "why" and following through with confidence. When you're unclear about your purpose, it's easy to falter—but with self-awareness, reflection, and a resilient mindset, you can approach your 2025 goals with unwavering commitment.

 In today's episode, we dive deep into UConn's journey under Coach Dan Hurley, who's embracing the “obstacle is the way” philosophy to prepare his team for an unprecedented third straight NCAA title. From discipline-driven habits to loyalty-driven decisions, we break down how Hurley's mindset influences every player, setting them free to reach new heights. We also explore UConn's evolving roster, featuring returning leaders and dynamic new talent, as they build a championship identity through depth, competition, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Show Notes Title: What's Dan Hurley's Secret? The Obstacle is the Way Segment 1: The Obstacle is the Way: Discipline, Detail, and the Road to a Three-Peat • Coach Dan Hurley's philosophy of “the obstacle is the way,” where pressure becomes a tool for building self-discipline.• Hurley's intense focus on the daily grind, reinforcing habits that free players to perform instinctively on game day.• Alex Karaban's decision to return for his junior year, embracing the opportunity to help chase history with a potential three-peat.• Takeaways: How does Hurley's discipline-first approach set players up for success? What can we learn from his philosophy? Segment 2: Loyalty and Legacy: Hurley and Karaban's Defining Choices • Coach Hurley's decision to stay at UConn, turning down the Lakers for loyalty to his players and commitment to UConn's values.• Alex Karaban's own journey in testing the NBA waters before deciding to stay, reflecting the unique culture Hurley has built.• Takeaways: What does the loyalty between Hurley and Karaban signify for the rest of the team, and how does it set the standard? Segment 3: New Faces, New Challenges: Building a Championship Roster • UConn's revamped roster with key freshmen like Liam McNeeley and strategic transfers like Tarris Reed and Aidan Mahaney.• How players like Samson Johnson bring unique versatility to roles, redefining UConn's style of play.• Karaban's observation on the team's offensive firepower and Hurley's selective recruiting approach, focusing on fit and resilience.• Takeaways: How will Johnson's ‘point center' role impact UConn's gameplay, and how does Hurley's recruiting define the team's culture?

Few people go through life without difficulty. Tough times often define the way we see the world. For some, a rough patch beats them down; they're left battered and hopeless. For others, a challenge forces them to rise to the occasion; they're fortified by the trial and better for having survived it. The Greeks believed challenges were vital for growth, but best faced alone, and built the philosophy of stoicism around this view. The early Christians had a different belief, known as the Way, which encourages us to lean on God when times are tough.

Can ancient philosophy be the key to modern success? Ryan Holiday, a leading thinker of his generation, believes so. From NFL quarterbacks to corporate CEOs, many credit Holiday's work with introducing them to the transformative power of Stoic philosophy. In this episode, Ryan talks to Guy about the teachings of the Stoics through the lens of Holiday's influential books, including The Obstacle Is The Way, Ego Is The Enemy, Stillness Is The Key, and, most recently Right Thing, Right Now. These aren't just bestsellers—they're respected works that have left a lasting impact on leaders and entrepreneurs around the world. But Ryan Holiday's journey wasn't always about philosophy. Before becoming a celebrated author and podcaster (The Daily Stoic) he started his career in marketing, a field that would shape his first book and inform parts of many others. This conversation was recorded in 2021.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Bishoy Tadros. Born in Egypt, Bishoy's family moved to the United States when he was three years old after he received a cancer diagnosis. He underwent intermittent treatment for 10 years. On his 13th birthday, he had brain surgery for a blood clot and was later given a clear medical report. Despite his childhood battles with cancer, he was determined to reach his full potential as an adult. Bishoy is the author of Break Barriers: How Setbacks Can Dare You Rather Than Define You and Audacious: Uncaging Your Authentic Self. He also hosts the Mile 40 Podcast. In this show, we discuss overcoming obstacles, what it takes to mentally overcome that voice in your head that says you can't do the things you want to do, how to be an athlete later in life, and so much more. And now I give you, Bishoy Tadros.

A baby crawling will attempt to walk no matter how many times they fall. This is a common challenge we face early in life. Overcoming it is essential for learning to walk. It all starts with perception – seeing things as they really are. Taking action and being patient is key as we work through the process. Even when it feels like nothing is working, we can use our determination to overcome challenges. The Obstacle Is The Way by Ryan Holiday The answer is in the question. Cheers!

StoryShots Book Summary and Review of The Obstacle is The Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph by Ryan Holiday Introduction to The Obstacle is The Way Why do obstacles exist? It's a question as old as time. Many of us wish for a life without difficulties or barriers. Yet, reality tells a different story. Obstacles and opportunities are interwoven into the very fabric of our existence. We can't change that, but we can change how we respond to it. When we're trying to succeed and be happy, obstacles can feel like unwelcome blocks in our way. For some, this leads to avoidance or frustration. But what if we could view obstacles differently? What if each challenge was an opportunity in disguise, a stepping stone toward personal growth and achievement? This is the transformative perspective offered in Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle is The Way. The book is based on Stoic philosophy. It teaches us how to turn bad things into good. Instead of dreading challenges, Holiday encourages us to embrace them. He sees them as vital parts of our journey. By doing so, we can not only overcome these obstacles but also use them to propel ourselves to new heights. As Holiday says, “The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.” Let's explore the ten key ideas from The Obstacle is The Way by Ryan Holiday. They can help us handle life's challenges with grace and resilience. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Doug is also an entrepreneur with expertise in process and operational efficiencies and shares Cody's passion for the energy and renewables space and the impact it can have on the environment.

Ryan speaks with James Outman on why he believes that baseball and Stoicism both promote the same practices, why baseball players are uniquely prepared to deal with failure, how practicing the Stoic mindset helps him survive “the yips”, why Lou Gehrig's story is the perfect example of Memento Mori, and more.James Outman is a professional baseball player who plays centerfield for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Since being called up to the Majors in July of 2022, James has amassed a batting average of .260 with 18 home runs and 81 RBI (as of September 2023).

Life may have big challenges in store for us. What's more certain, as we talked about recently, is the ‘petty hazards of the day.' We may find ourselves thrust in some crisis–a big political moment or some emergency that unfolds in front of us on the street. We will definitely experience traffic and obnoxious people and temptation and burnout.It's important we understand that whether the moment is big or small, the Stoic is supposed to respond the same way. That is to say: Calmly. Courageously. With the common good in mind.---And in today's Daily Stoic Journal excerpt, Ryan reflects what the Stoics teach about the innate goodness that all human beings are born with, and what we can do on a daily basis to better align ourselves with that goodness.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail
