#680: How Real Estate Agents Can Use Huzi.AI to Win More Deals and Build Unstoppable Businesses with Eric Post

Coach Code Podcast

Episode Overview: In this must-listen episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John sits down with Eric Post, Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Huzi.AI, to unpack the seismic shifts AI is driving across the real estate industry and why traditional agents must evolve—or risk becoming obsolete. Together, they dissect the evolution of leverage in real estate—from hiring human assistants to virtual teams and now, AI-driven assistants that operate 24/7, enabling agents to scale, optimize, and dominate their markets. Eric reveals why the most dangerous disruption in real estate isn't AI-powered competitors—it's the AI-powered consumer. With access to sophisticated knowledge tools, today's buyers and sellers are better informed and have higher expectations than ever before. Agents who continue to rely solely on old-school tactics and ignore the power of AI will quickly fall behind. Key Takeaways & Insights: AI-Powered Consumers Will Outpace Agents Who Refuse to Adapt: The modern homebuyer and seller now have AI in their pockets. If real estate agents aren't using AI tools like Huzi.AI to match or exceed their clients' knowledge and responsiveness, they risk being bypassed altogether. Shift from Broadcasting to Deep Personalization: The AI revolution is not about more content—it's about more meaningful, personalized communication. Agents must stop focusing on volume and start focusing on delivering relevant, valuable conversations that resonate at a personal level. Reimagine Leverage with AI-Powered Assistants: The agent of the future will use AI tools as intelligent business partners—handling research, data aggregation, follow-ups, negotiations, and even task management—allowing the agent to focus on human-to-human connection and high-value activities. Focus on Wisdom, Not Just Knowledge: While AI can deliver data, it cannot replace the human wisdom that top agents bring to the table. Agents must use tools like Huzi.AI to augment their decision-making and empower themselves to be more strategic and insightful. The Future of Real Estate Is Hyper-Personalization and Conversation-Centric: Agents who lean into the conversational revolution and use AI to create highly personalized, interactive experiences will own the future of real estate. Collapse Time, Increase Productivity, and Eliminate Busywork: With tools like Huzi.AI, agents can dramatically compress tasks that used to take hours into minutes, freeing them to focus on nurturing client relationships, negotiating deals, and scaling their businesses. The Death of Mediocrity in Real Estate: The era of "doing enough" is over. Agents must commit to excellence, embrace AI-powered efficiency, and deliver a remarkable client experience—or face extinction in an industry evolving at breakneck speed. Bonus Insights: The dangers of agents using AI solely for vanity marketing and content pumping—and how that plays into the hands of companies like Zillow. How Huzi.AI can integrate with your CRM, calendar, and communications to become your always-on AI-powered Chief of Staff. The power of community, coaching, and collaboration in navigating the AI revolution. The parallels between business and endurance sports—why pushing your limits is the key to leadership and legacy in this AI-powered era.

With a background in real estate, endurance sports, and tech entrepreneurship, Eric is on a mission to empower agents, teams, and brokerages to thrive in the AI-powered economy by focusing on what truly matters—people, relationships, and wisdom.   ""Real estate agents don't get paid more to automate their business. They get paid more when they improve the experience for the consumer."" — Eric Post   Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

That happened to me recently, and instead of just moving over cluttered files, I decided to create a better system.I used this opportunity to build personalized GPTs (Generative Pretrained Transformers) inside ChatGPT to help me organize information so I could stop digging through folders, spreadsheets, and emails. Now, instead of asking “Where did I save that?” — I just ask my GPT.These GPTs have become my go-to system for locating key client information, marketing materials, podcast outlines, and internal resources — all in seconds.If you're overwhelmed by digital disorganization or tired of repeating the same searches, this episode will show you how to use AI to create a centralized, accessible, and reliable system for storing and retrieving information.You'll learn:Why I decided not to keep transferring messy files across computersHow GPTs help organize and recall key information instantlyReal-world examples of how I use GPTs to support client work and daily operationsSimple ways to get started creating your own GPT-based document systemAt World Innovators, we're all about helping B2B brands and Executives find smarter ways to reach the right audience — and that starts with staying organized internally.

We are now in a new era at the moment where AI is no longer a futuristic concept and the beauty of this is that AI is one of the most powerful tools to HELP make that shift from working harder to working smarter.The businesses that are embracing it are getting ahead.

AI is changing how we work but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. It's about freeing yourself and your team up to do more of what actually moves the needle. And in this episode we deep dive into AI so you can start seeing how you can implement AI into your business.I chat with Sam Mclean who is the founder of Elite Agent and helps businesses win more listings and get more efficient with AI. Sam shares practical tools you can start using today, explains why AI isn't as scary as it sounds, and shows us how it can free up your time to do the stuff that really matters.“ The Agents that can use AI well will win the new era. And that means using AI well to do the things that AI can do so it can free you up to do the things that AI can't do. And so what I see is the ‘AI can't do's' is the building relationships and having real empathy with your clients.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes Reuben Bailon, an expert in AI training and technology innovation. Together, they explore the rapidly evolving field of AI, touching on topics like large language models, the promise and limits of general artificial intelligence, the integration of AI into industries, and the future of work in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent systems. They also discuss decentralization, the potential for personalized AI tools, and the societal shifts likely to emerge from these transformations.

AGI will require the convergence of various types of intelligence, such as vision, sensory input, and probabilistic reasoning, which are still under development. Current AI efforts focus more on building domain-specific competencies rather than generalized intelligence.AI as an Augmentative Tool: The discussion highlighted that AI is primarily being developed to augment human intelligence rather than replace it. Whether through improving productivity in monotonous tasks or enabling greater precision in areas like medical imaging, AI's role is to empower individuals and organizations by enhancing existing processes and uncovering new efficiencies.The Role of Large Action Models: Large action models represent an exciting frontier in AI, moving beyond planning and recommendations to executing tasks autonomously, with human authorization. This capability holds potential to revolutionize industries by handling complex workflows end-to-end, drastically reducing manual intervention.The Future of Personal AI Assistants: Personal AI tools have the potential to act as highly capable assistants by leveraging vast amounts of contextual and personal data. However, the technology is in its early stages, and significant progress is needed to make these assistants truly seamless and impactful in day-to-day tasks like managing schedules, filling out forms, or making informed recommendations.Decentralization and Data Ownership: Reuben highlighted the importance of a decentralized web where individuals retain ownership of their data, as opposed to the centralized platforms that dominate today. This shift could empower users, reduce reliance on large tech companies, and unlock new opportunities for personalized and secure interactions online.Impact on Work and Productivity: AI is set to reshape the workforce by automating repetitive tasks, freeing up time for more creative and fulfilling work. The rise of AI-augmented roles could lead to smaller, more efficient teams in businesses, while creating new opportunities for freelancers and independent contractors to thrive in a liquid labor market.Challenges and Opportunities in Industry Disruption: Certain industries, like software, which are less regulated, are likely to experience rapid transformation due to AI. However, heavily regulated sectors, such as legal and finance, may take longer to adapt. The discussion also touched on how startups and agile companies can pressure larger organizations to adopt AI-driven solutions, ultimately redefining competitive landscapes.

Mark discusses the importance of clarity in coaching, understanding client needs, and building sustainable relationships with clients. He emphasizes the significance of daily productivity practices and the joy of being intentional with time management. The conversation highlights the challenges and strategies in the coaching industry, as well as the personal habits that contribute to productivity. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the importance of slowing down in a fast-paced world, the tools and techniques for enhancing productivity, insights from the podcasting journey, and the significance of finding joy in work while transitioning to new opportunities. They emphasize the need for balance, mental health, and the impact of technology on productivity.   Takeaways Mark was fired from his corporate job, which led him to coaching. He initially became a wedding photographer before focusing on productivity. Clarity is essential for both coaches and clients to achieve results. Mark customizes his coaching approach based on individual client needs. Building relationships on platforms like LinkedIn is crucial for client acquisition.

Are you avoiding tasks you know you need to do? Whether it's filing taxes or cleaning your garage, sometimes the hardest part is just starting. In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into a powerful productivity hack called body doubling—a game-changer for people with ADHD and anyone struggling with procrastination. Discover how having someone nearby can help you tackle those frogs faster and why admitting you need support is a strength, not a weakness. What You'll Learn in This Episode What are frogs? Frogs are the tasks we need to do but dread tackling—often uncomfortable, tedious, or overwhelming. The power of body doubling: This simple yet effective method involves having someone present while you work. Their presence can make a daunting task feel less overwhelming, especially for ADHD individuals. Insights from real stories: Hear about Bethany and Brittani, two clients with ADHD who used body doubling to overcome procrastination and boost productivity. Why this hack works: For people with ADHD, skills aren't even layers—they're spikes. Body doubling helps stabilize these spikes and makes even the toughest tasks achievable. Common frogs for ADHD individuals: Tasks like taxes, cleaning spaces, or completing administrative work can become manageable with this hack. Memorable Quotes: "Body doubling isn't about someone holding your feet to the fire—it's about emotional support. Like holding your hand while crossing a scary bridge." "Admitting you need help isn't weakness; it's the first step toward action." Actionable Takeaways: Identify a frog you've been avoiding and find a body double to help you tackle it. Understand that perfection isn't required; progress is. Use the “next right step” mindset to avoid feeling overwhelmed by big tasks.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop welcomes Leon Coe, founder of Amplify Intelligence, to explore the cutting edge of AI and its practical applications in workflows, agentic systems, and beyond. They discuss the evolution of autonomous agents, the shift toward combining traditional code with large language models, and how these integrations are reshaping both business processes and personal productivity. The conversation touches on the potential for AI to transform repetitive tasks, the role of probabilistic versus deterministic AI models, and Leon's perspective on the future of a more AI-enabled economy. Leon also shares thoughts on balancing creativity with automation, especially for non-technical users, while Stewart probes the deeper implications of our increasingly AI-driven world. To learn more about Leon's work, visit Amplify Intelligence or connect with him on Twitter @LeonJCoe.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:26 Understanding AI Agents02:51 Agentic Workflows vs. Autonomous Agents04:31 Productizing Large Language Models06:56 Challenges and Innovations in AI Adoption10:15 Enhancing Workflows with AI18:30 Technical Insights and Practical Applications25:29 Exploring Future Shock and AI Adoption27:17 The Economic Impact of AI29:01 The Evolution of AI Models31:01 Voice AI and Its Potential34:21 The Role of Social Media in AI Adoption41:01 Historical Perspectives on Media and Misinformation44:28 The Future of Media and AI45:30 Navigating the Digital Age with AI55:10 Concluding Thoughts and Future DiscussionsKey InsightsRedefining AI Agents: Leon introduces a unique perspective on AI agents, emphasizing that they don't have to be fully autonomous or self-directing to be useful. He defines an AI agent as simply the combination of large language models (LLMs) with traditional code, capable of producing workflows and taking actions. This broader view allows businesses to leverage agentic technology today by integrating LLMs into workflows in a controlled, deterministic way, similar to tools like Zapier but with enhanced intelligence.Adoption Challenges for Non-Technical Users: One of the biggest challenges in AI adoption, Leon argues, is bridging the gap between technical and non-technical users. Programmers and those familiar with building digital workflows can push AI's capabilities further by crafting complex queries and structured workflows. However, non-technical users often lack this mental framework, so introducing them to AI involves not only teaching specific tools but also new ways of conceptualizing and using automation to make their lives easier.AI for Personal Productivity and Business Efficiency: Leon explains how AI can revolutionize business workflows by injecting intelligence at different points. For example, an AI-enhanced workflow could automatically extract key insights from meetings, turn transcripts into actionable summaries, and even create custom reports with minimal human intervention. This not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of tasks falling through the cracks, which can improve productivity across entire organizations.Cost Optimization and Model Selection in AI Workflows: In building effective AI applications, choosing the right model and managing costs are essential. Leon illustrates how selecting cheaper, high-performance models, like Gemini Flash instead of more expensive alternatives, can make workflows more efficient and cost-effective. By carefully balancing speed, token limits, and other parameters, companies can optimize their AI usage and control expenses without sacrificing performance.The Future of Databases and Dynamic Information: The conversation explores a potentially transformative shift in data storage and retrieval, where static databases might be replaced by API calls to AI models that generate information dynamically. This approach could allow for more flexible and up-to-date data management, where only critical user data is stored traditionally, and the rest is created on-demand, reducing the need for static databases.Media Evolution and Personalized AI: Leon discusses how AI has the potential to shape media in unprecedented ways by generating hyper-personalized content for users, contrasting with the traditional, one-size-fits-all TV experience. As AI takes media personalization to new levels, it could further fragment audiences, changing how we relate to information and even how we form identities, which were once rooted in collective media experiences.Balancing Consumption and Creation in the Digital Age: Stewart and Leon share insights on moving from passive content consumption to active creation with AI tools. By harnessing AI as a productive force, users can redefine their relationship with digital media, turning social platforms into educational or note-taking spaces rather than time-sinks. Leon's experience with LinkedIn, where he engages by sharing valuable insights rather than merely consuming content, exemplifies this shift, suggesting that AI's real value may lie in its ability to empower individuals to create rather than consume.
