Podcasts about open houses

In this livestream-style episode, Michael LaFido shifts from interviewing service providers to spotlighting a real-world success story from one of his Luxury Mastery coaching students, Felita, a Houston-based agent with 24 years of experience. Michael frames the conversation around opportunities—explaining the difference between cold opportunities (people who don't know/like/trust you yet) and warm opportunities (your sphere, CRM, and people who already know you). The main case study: Felita challenged her own limiting beliefs by hosting an open house at a $1.95M listing—nearly 3x higher than the most expensive open house she'd ever hosted (previously ~$650K). Despite little prep time (she hadn't toured the home in advance and didn't deploy as many signs as recommended), she generated strong traffic across the weekend and proved to herself that luxury buyers are “no different than everyone else”—they still respond to confidence, professionalism, and great questions. Michael and Felita unpack why this worked: the listing had been on the market for about 18 months, meaning the listing agent and seller likely felt pressure and welcomed fresh activity. Felita approached the listing agent with a win-win solution, hosted the open house, and used a clear sign-in requirement to maintain control and professionalism. The biggest breakthrough came from her ability to adapt quickly—after noticing visitors cared heavily about schools, she returned the next day with a portfolio/binder of nearby sold homes in the school zone, which helped her build authority fast. That preparation paid off: Felita built rapport with attendees and earned the opportunity to show a couple a $3M home, expanding her confidence and pipeline in higher price points—even though she hadn't personally sold above ~$600K before. The episode closes with Michael encouraging viewers to step out of their comfort zone, leverage OPP (Other People's Properties) with permission, and use simple video before/during/after open houses to position themselves as a trusted authority. Michael also promotes upcoming LUXE Designation training (including an April 16 Houston event) and ends with his signature motivational theme: “Prove them wrong.” Key Takeaways Luxury growth starts by chasing opportunities, not just closings. Hosting higher-end open houses can be a fast path to new relationships and confidence. Stale listings can be a strategic opening for a win-win pitch to the listing agent. Asking great questions + listening creates trust quickly, even in luxury. Adaptation wins: bring value that matches buyer motivation (ex: school-specific portfolio).

There's a lot of pressure in the coaching world to ask the perfect question — the one that unlocks instant clarity or creates a dramatic breakthrough. But in real coaching sessions, that's rarely how it works. In this episode of The Coaching Edge, I'm sharing the most versatile, workhorse coaching questions I use again and again — not because they're clever or flashy, but because they reliably open insight across nearly any topic. These aren't scripts or “magic questions.” They're question types you can adapt moment-by-moment, depending on what your client actually needs. In this episode, I talk about: Why coaches often over-hunt for the “perfect” question — and why that usually backfires Why versatility and timing matter more than clever wording How powerful questions work because of how and when they're asked, not just what's said Five core question buckets I return to again and again in real client sessions Simple go-to questions you can always use when a session feels stuck You'll hear examples of questions that: Gently surface limiting beliefs without arguing or fixing Reconnect clients to agency and choice Expose unspoken assumptions driving the problem Bring emotions and the body back into the conversation Widen perspective without minimizing the client's experience I also share why learning when to use these questions matters more than memorizing them — and how this skill is something I teach explicitly inside the Confident Coaching Skills Intensive (CCSI). If you've ever left a coaching session with imposter syndrome and wondering whether you asked the “right” questions, this episode will help you trust yourself — and the simple questions that actually do the work.

Have you ever had a coaching client who's engaged, reflective, and genuinely trying — but you keep coming back to the same issue session after session? In this episode, I'm talking about what's really going on when coaching feels stuck even though your client is doing the work. This is a common experience for coaches, and it's not a sign that you're failing — it's usually a signal that something important hasn't been addressed yet. I walk you through: What I specifically listen for when sessions start going in circles Two of the most common reasons progress stalls with motivated clients How I name patterns (and the "elephant in the room") without judgment or pressure Why this is one of the most challenging — and important — coaching skills to develop If you've ever left a session thinking, “We talked a lot, but nothing really shifted,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next time.

There's a moment every coach knows. You're mid-session. Your client says something unexpected. The conversation shifts — emotionally, directionally, energetically. And suddenly, you feel it: I don't know what to do next. In this episode, I'm talking about why that moment isn't a coaching failure — and why, in many cases, it's actually a sign that you're doing real, meaningful work. We're unpacking the fear that lives underneath “not knowing,” why so many coaches panic when sessions don't go as planned, and how much of that anxiety comes from holding an unspoken agenda about where the session should go. I also explore the difference between agenda-driven, outcome-focused coaching and curiosity-driven, co-active coaching — and why letting go of the need to steer your client toward a specific insight, solution, or action often creates far more powerful results. This is a conversation about trust. Trusting the process. Trusting your client. And trusting yourself as a coach — even (and especially) when you don't have the answers. If you've ever left a session second-guessing yourself, wondering if you handled it “right,” or thinking you need more training just to feel confident in the room — this episode is for you.

If there's one thing I've learned after more than 15 years of running a coaching business, it's this: being yourself is not a nice-to-have. It's the strategy. And yet… even now, I still catch myself getting pulled toward polishing amd perfecting. I look around at what other people are doing. I see beautifully produced content, perfectly worded posts, slick frameworks. And my very human brain thinks, “Maybe I should be doing it like that.” That pull never really goes away. It's part shiny object syndrome, part comparison, part wanting to get it “right.” This episode is my reminder — and hopefully yours — that Real Talk has always been part of my brand, and that every time I drift away from it, I feel less aligned, less grounded, and honestly… less effective. This podcast itself is a perfect example. If you're here listening, it's not because everything I say is perfectly packaged. It's because the way I speak, teach, and show up works for you. It feels familiar. It feels honest. It feels kind, direct, practical — with a pinch of humour and a whole lot of real life. That's not accidental. That's Real Talk. And the truth is, that's what builds trust right now — especially in a world flooded with AI-generated content, hyper-polished short-form videos, and marketing that feels increasingly performative. In this episode, I talk about why being yourself matters more than ever — not less — in the age of AI and the current trust recession. People aren't looking for the “best” coach on paper. They're looking for someone they can feel. Someone they trust. Someone who sounds human. I also share how being yourself doesn't just attract the right clients — it repels the wrong ones, and why that's actually a gift. When you show up honestly, you get to your best-fit clients faster, with less convincing and a whole lot more ease. We'll explore what “being yourself” actually looks like in practice — and what it's not. (Spoiler: it's not oversharing, chaos, or refusing structure.) And I walk you through how to infuse your unique special sauce into: Your outward-facing marketing The programs and offers you create The way you show up with clients one-on-one I also share a very current, real-life example from my own business: my complicated relationship with social media — and why I'm experimenting with a completely different way of showing up this year. Instead of forcing myself back into Instagram in a way that feels heavy or inauthentic, I'm playing with something much simpler: short, unscripted “Real Talk” moments. No agenda. No selling. No perfect lighting. Sometimes literally just me making my morning coffee and sharing a thought, an observation, or something that might be helpful. Not for everyone. But very much for my people. And that's the point. As you listen, I invite you to ask yourself: What does Real Talk look like for me? And where could I bring more of that into my business — without trying to turn it into something it's not? Because you don't need to be louder, shinier, or more polished. You just need to be recognizable. And for the right people, that's more than enough. LINKS + RESOURCES:

Are you using every resource in front of you or waiting for success to knock on your door? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Madison Partridge, founder of Local Roots Group, who shares her raw journey from zero experience to building a purpose-driven real estate business in Northeast Florida. Leaving a medical career behind, Madison threw herself into real estate without a budget but armed with grit, open houses, and a relentless drive to connect with people. Now a leader in her market, Madison reveals how getting uncomfortable and showing up consistently on social media and in person has helped her cultivate a loyal sphere that accounts for over 65 percent of her business. From door knocking and hosting open houses to educating VA and first-time buyers, her story is a blueprint for young agents looking to build from the ground up. If Madison's story inspired you share it with a new agent or entrepreneur who needs to hear that success is built on consistency and courage.

Let's talk about that moment every coach hits at some point — when nothing is selling. The launch flops. The offer lands with a thud. The inbox is quiet. And suddenly your brain starts telling some very convincing (and very dangerous) stories about what that means. In this episode of The Coaching Edge and the accompanying free Offer Diagnostic Worksheet (download HERE), I walk you through what to do before you panic, deep-six your offer, or decide you're “just not cut out for this” and call it quits. Because when nothing is selling, the problem is almost never that you're a bad coach — and believing that can send you straight into a spiral that's hard to climb out of. Instead, I share how I diagnose sales problems using my Business Compass model, how to identify what's actually broken in your sales chain, and what to focus on first so you can get things moving again — calmly, strategically, and without burning your business down. In this episode, I cover: The most dangerous assumption coaches make when sales are slow — and why it's almost never true Why “nothing is selling” is data, not a verdict on your ability as a coach The common (but misleading) fixes coaches jump to when they panic How to audit your business using the North, East, South, and West of the Business Compass How to tell whether you have a visibility problem, a trust problem, or an offer problem Why old-school conversations and direct outreach still work — especially when sales are slow What not to do when things feel quiet (even though it's tempting) If you've been questioning yourself, your offer, or your entire business because sales feel slow right now, this episode will help you step out of emotion and back into clarity — and give you a grounded way forward. Resources: Your free Offer Diagnostic Worksheet (download HERE), which accompanies this episode The Virtual Business Retreat (episode 68 of The Coaching Edge) + your free downloadable Workbook.

As the founder of Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship, she talks about turning years of writing and real reader questions into a podcast and newsletter that function as the business itself, not side projects. Nina also opens up about the relief and clarity she found when she stopped trying to sound like an expert and simply showed up as a writer.Nina also gets practical about sustainability, from how sponsorships support the podcast to how paid Substack subscriptions support the newsletter. She shares why waiting to monetize often slows momentum and how the right platform can create visibility without constant promotion.

Zibby shares how her work as a podcaster grew from meaningful conversations with authors into live events, publishing, and a broader community shaped by paying close attention to what resonated. How do you keep building when there is no clear roadmap and the business keeps changing?Zibby shares how she makes decisions inside a business that refuses to stay static. She explains how creating an umbrella brand helped her clarify who the company exists for and what truly belongs, even when that meant letting go of projects she loved. Structure arrived when it was necessary, not because she chased scale, but because the work demanded it.Zibby also talks about the cost of showing up publicly with conviction after October 7th. She reflects on backlash, strained relationships, and the emotional weight of choosing to speak openly. That choice led her to step more fully into her role as an advocate, using Zibby Media to create an anthology that gathered stories and offered connection during a moment of crisis.This episode shows listeners what it really takes to grow a business without a script, hold firm to your values, and keep showing up when the stakes are personal as well as professional.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Leadership, Visibility, And Responsibility After October 7th 02:22 Building Zibby Media Without A Traditional Business Plan 06:01 Becoming A Podcaster And Turning Conversations Into Community 08:16 Expanding From Podcast To Publishing Company And Bookstore 13:55 Rebranding To Zibby Media And Creating An Umbrella Brand 18:31 How To Know When A Business Idea Is Not Working 22:46 The Cost Of Speaking Publicly And Staying Authentic 26:45 National Book Awards Decision And Defining Values In Business 29:05 Creating An Anthology And Stepping Into Advocacy 34:39 The Hard Realities Of Growth: Hiring, Events, And Monetization 40:58 Advice For Women Building A BusinessConnect with Zibby Owens:Follow Zibby on Instagram Follow Zibby Publishing on Instagram Follow Zibby's Bookshop on Instagram Follow Totally Booked with Zibby on Instagram Visit Zibby Media Visit Zibby's websiteJoin us for the Dear FoundHer...

This week, I'm helping you rethink goal-setting for 2026 by introducing a different kind of goal — one that makes your business more flexible, sustainable, and profitable. Most coaches set behaviour-based goals: • post 3x/week • hit $10K/month • grow the list by 1,000 • convert 60% of discovery calls But here's the truth: behaviour-based goals require perfection… and perfection is not a thing any of us are capable of maintaining. Instead, I want to teach you how to set feeling-based goals — goals that clarify how you want to feel in your business: confident, grounded, spacious, consistent, organized, aligned. These goals aren't fluffy. They're strategic. They are what actually move the needle in your business. When you feel more confident, you have more sales conversations. When you feel more grounded, your messaging becomes clearer. When you feel more organized, your systems improve — creating more capacity. When you feel more aligned, you show up consistently — which leads to more clients and more revenue. Feeling-based goals fuel the behaviours that drive results. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between behaviour-based and feeling-based goals Why traditional goal-setting fails most coaches How I use feeling-based goals to run my own business 10 concrete examples of business goals reframed for 2026 Why feeling-based goals still lead to MORE clients, MORE revenue, and BETTER content How to set your own 2026 goals using my simple reflection system If you want 2026 to feel different — calmer, more confident, more grounded — this episode will give you the framework to build a business that actually supports that.

This week on The Coaching Edge, I'm digging into one of the most important — and most misunderstood — pieces of building a profitable coaching business: conversations. Not funnels. Not fancy sales pages. Not complicated campaigns. Conversations. Real ones. The kind that create connection… and then, eventually, clients. If you're someone who has always felt a little allergic to anything that resembles “traditional sales” — the pushy, aggressive, talk-AT-people kind of sales — this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Because the truth is, you don't need to be good at selling to grow your coaching business. You just need to get good at starting conversations. Inside this episode, I break down: Why conversations are the foundation of my sales model — and why this approach works beautifully for coaches who want selling to feel natural, relational, and grounded in integrity. How connection (not conversion) is what actually leads to clients — and why focusing on the wrong thing in that first conversation can shut things down before they ever start. The mindset shift every coach needs: your only job is to start the conversation. Not sell. Not strategize. Just connect. The dozens of places conversations can begin: past clients, new followers, people who downloaded your freebie, collaborators, referral sources, your own newsletter list, DM check-ins, and so many more. Why I actively “gamify” conversations in my own business and teach the same thing inside the BBB — and why having structure around this is one of the most profitable habits you can build as a coach. The reality that most conversation starters will go ignored… and why that's perfectly fine. It only takes 1 in 5 to create meaningful connection that eventually leads somewhere. If you're ready to make sales feel like being a human again — and to build your 2026 business around practices that actually feel aligned — this episode will give you a whole new way of thinking about selling.

As a high-achieving and self-led woman, it's time to stop using your nervous system, your to-do list, or your calendar as an excuse for why you're not living the life you say you want. In this quick and powerful episode, Monica calls out the real reason high-achieving women don't say yes to their next level—and how HER Year isn't “another program,” but the space where you build the internal and external structure to sustain your next level, not just manifest it. Inside the episode:

You're closer to a breakthrough than you think.   Luke and Josh coach three very different agents through three very real problems. Jean asks how to recruit agents to her small brokerage, Naquata wants to know how to make the most of 20–25 hours a week as a part-time agent, and Stefan calls in after burning through his savings with one month left to survive.     Stay Paid hosts breaks down recruiting funnels, sphere-first strategy, activity levels, masterminds, prospecting blocks, and what it actually takes to break through when you feel like quitting. If you're growing, rebuilding, or barely hanging on, this episode will meet you where you are.   Key Takeaways: What to do when you're struggling to recruit agents Mentorship is good but not unique — every broker claims it Create a recruiting funnel the same way agents create a sphere funnel The 3 E's of agent content: Education, Entertainment, Endearmeny Your 100-person sphere is the foundation — call all of them 65% of listings and 56% of buyers come from relationships Every hour must go to: Prospecting, Sphere, Open Houses, Conversations You must track actual conversations, not just time spent Schedule 4 hours/day of phone time Ask sphere for referrals TODAY Success = increased intensity + structure + accountability   ⁉️ Do YOU have a question you'd like us to answer on air?

As we head into 2026, I want to talk about something that I believe is going to matter more than almost anything else in your coaching business this year: your ability to stay flexible and responsive. Not reactive. Not panicked. Responsive. In this episode, I'm unpacking why rigid business models are becoming harder to sustain — and why treating your business as an ongoing experiment is one of the smartest moves you can make right now. I talk a lot about what I call the beta mindset: the idea that your offers, pricing, content, and even your business model are all drafts. They're meant to be tested, reviewed, adjusted, and improved based on real-time feedback — not locked in forever. I also share a real example from my own business. For the past couple of years, the Business Building Bootcamp (BBB) has been offered as a one-year program. That structure made sense for a long time. Building a coaching business takes time, and meaningful support doesn't happen overnight. But I've been paying attention — to the market, to my clients, and to myself. We're in a buyer's market. Trust is harder to earn. And long-term commitments feel riskier for a lot of people right now. I've noticed that shift in my own spending decisions too. So instead of digging in my heels and insisting on a structure that no longer fit, I decided to respond. In this episode, I walk you through why I chose to restructure BBB to a six-month entry point (at a lower price), with the option to continue once trust and value are established — and how that change reflects exactly the kind of flexibility I'm encouraging you to build into your own business. (New BBB details and pricing HERE: www.wendymccallum.com/bbb) I also talk about: Why flexibility is no longer optional for small businesses — especially coaching businesses How the beta mindset protects you from perfectionism, burnout, and unnecessary pressure The signs your business is quietly asking you to change something Why changing your mind isn't flaky or unprofessional — it's good business stewardship How being responsive actually helps you stay profitable and relevant over the long term Practical ways to build adaptability into your offers, pricing, and planning in 2026 Before you listen, a quick reminder: In the previous episode 68, I hosted a virtual year-end business retreat and shared my Business Compass framework for auditing your business and setting aligned goals. That episode comes with a free downloadable audit and goal-setting workbook — and if December got away from you, you can absolutely still grab it.

Emma and David need a fresh start. After losing a pregnancy, they find the perfect house—a beautiful 1920s Colonial at an impossibly low price. The realtor is eager. Too eager. Their first night, Emma hears footsteps in the hallway but can't make herself open the door. By morning, their moving boxes have been opened, searched, rearranged. And tucked among their belongings, Emma finds something that doesn't belong: a child's drawing of the house, with a dark figure watching from an upstairs window. On the back, three words in crayon: "It sees us." The first chapter of a four-part winter nightmare.Episode 1 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2026 with a special bonus episode because this is the year to stop doing motherhood alone. This one's all about building your support system, finding your people, and creating real community for you and your family. Let's go. We're joined by Megan Champion, the creator of Mothers Together—a first-of-its-kind global community designed specifically for moms of neurodivergent kids. Their mission? Improve moms' mental health by fostering genuine friendships, deep connection, and a judgment-free space where you don't have to explain yourself (because honestly… exhausting). Megan shares why friendship matters so much in this season of life, what makes Mothers Together different, and how this community might be exactly what you've been looking for—even if you're not sure you're a “joiner.” Open House enrollment happens quarterly, and the first one of 2026 kicks off January 7th. This free, virtual event lets you meet other moms, ask questions, and get a feel for what Mothers Together is all about—no pressure, no awkward icebreakers (we promise).
