In this week's Behind The Scenes episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam dives into one of the most overlooked deal sources in real estate investing: investor-friendly real estate agents.He explains why agents consistently bring his companies more deals each year than wholesalers or many traditional lead sources, and what makes an agent truly “investor-friendly.” You'll hear the advantages of working with agents who understand numbers, timelines, and creative deal structures—and why these relationships often lead to higher-quality opportunities with less friction.This episode also breaks down the value of diversifying where deals come from, building long-term relationships instead of chasing one-off leads, and creating a network that compounds over time. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how strong partnerships drive consistent deal flow and why collaboration is one of the most underrated strategies in real estate.FasterFreedom Capital Connection: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fasterfreedomcapital.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Rental Investment Training: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://freerentalwebinar.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

What happens when intelligence becomes cheap… and problem-solving becomes automated? In today's episode, Tim and Julie Harris go deep on one of the most important questions of our lifetime—and one every real estate agent must confront: What value does a human bring in a world where AI can out-think, out-analyze, and out-execute most professionals? We unpack the emerging reality of the commoditization of intelligence, and what it means when AI begins replacing humans who were historically valued for their IQ, reasoning skills, and ability to solve complex problems. Drawing on the perspectives of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and tech investor Cathie Wood, we explore: Will the world's best CEOs eventually be AI? What happens to industries built on rigid power structures that reward “IQ over intuition”? Can AI ever truly develop intuition—or is there something uniquely human… a divine spark? What's the irreplaceable value of a human real estate agent (or any service professional)? How long until humanoid robots stop being shocking—and start being normal? Will AI create mass unemployment… or a massive human renaissance? Are we on the edge of a historic surge in freedom, time, and quality of life? This episode will challenge the way you see the future—and help you position yourself to thrive, lead, and profit in the next era of real estate.  If your 2026 plan is “hope,” you're already behind.

Amanda Pendleton, the Zillow house trends expert, unpacks fresh data on today's buyers and sellers. Amanda discusses  the growing importance, and fragility, of buyer loyalty, why repeat clients often don't return to their original agent, and the re‑engagement strategies top producers use to stay top of mind for 10–15 years between moves. Next, Amanda talks about how online research and AI are changing how consumers find agents, what a powerful digital presence and brand should look like in 2026. Amanda also emphasizes that GenZ is a bigger force in the market than most agents realize. Last, Amanda explores what today's sellers really want and how data-driven agents can use Zillow's insights to win more listings and build long-term loyalty.

Instead, he puts listeners in front of a mirror with seven uncomfortable questions that expose where agents, brokerages, and the industry itself are drifting.Recorded ahead of moderating a private dinner for high-level leaders, this episode explores what really determines who survives the next decade in real estate — and who becomes replaceable by technology, portals, or apathy.David unpacks:Who the real “enemy” of the industry will be in 10 yearsHow lowered standards quietly erode public trustThe behaviours that poison the well for everyoneWhat high performers do differently when nobody's watchingThe emotional weight people keep carrying instead of confrontingWhy distractions often protect us from harder decisionsHow to define a successful day before looking at the numbers00:00 – IntroWhy this episode isn't hype, tactics, or answers03:10 – Who Does the Industry Hate in 10 Years?Technology, attention, and being easy to replace10:45 – What Standard Cheapens the Profession?How erosion happens quietly — and why silence is costly17:30 – What Behaviour Lowers the Bar for Everyone?Why consumer trust is shared, not individual25:40 – Sponsor BreakKiTS Keep-in-Touch Systems & REM Real Estate Magazine28:00 – What Do You Respect in High Performers?The traits that last when flash fades35:10 – If 20% Disappeared Tomorrow…Emotional weight, misalignment, and hard decisions avoided43:30 – What Distraction Protects You?How convenience becomes the enemy of progress50:10 – How Do You Know It Was a Good Day?Building an internal scoreboard that keeps you grounded56:30 – Final Action Sequence & Close

Welcome to The Inner Game of Real Estate Success with high-performance hypnotherapist and mindset coach Paul Salter. In this episode of The Inner Game of Real Estate Success, Paul breaks down how past experiences create beliefs and behaviors designed to protect you in the moment—but often end up holding you back as you try to reach the next level. You'll learn why these patterns form, how they quietly shape confidence, decision-making, and communication under pressure, and why more information or strategy won't resolve them. This episode introduces memory reconsolidation and explains how hypnosis works to help you safely unlearn outdated beliefs and behaviors at the subconscious level. Paul clarifies what hypnosis is not, what it actually is, the science behind it, and how he uses it with high-performing real estate agents to release protective patterns that once served them—but now limit growth, leadership, and next-level performance.

In this episode of the Brian Icenhower Podcast, we break down one of the most powerful — and most misunderstood — tools in real estate leadership: the DISC behavioral assessment. Whether you're coaching agents, leading a team, managing a brokerage, or recruiting top producers, DISC is the foundation for understanding why people behave the way they do — and how to coach, lead, and grow them more effectively. Brian shares exactly why the DISC assessment is the very first step he uses before entering any coaching relationship, onboarding a new agent, or hiring a team member. You'll learn how to identify dominant D, I, S, and C behaviors in under 30 seconds, how to coach each profile without creating resistance, and how to use DISC to have honest conversations without damaging relationships. This episode also reveals why many agents fail — not because they aren't capable — but because they're being coached, led, and recruited in ways that completely conflict with their natural tendencies. If you want to recruit better agents, build stronger teams, improve retention, and finally lead with clarity instead of frustration, this is a must-listen episode. Show Notes What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why DISC should be the first step in every coaching, recruiting, and onboarding process The biggest mistakes leaders make when they coach without understanding behavior How to spot D, I, S, and C personalities in the first 30 seconds of a conversation Why “telling people what to do” doesn't work — and what to do instead How DISC allows you to correct behavior without creating conflict Why DI personalities struggle with volatility, impatience, and quitting too early How I-profiles avoid hard conversations, systems, and structure Why S-profiles resist change and avoid asking for business How C-profiles sabotage themselves through over-analysis and risk avoidance How to mirror, match, and adapt your leadership style to every personality Why mastering DISC turns you into a true “Jedi” leader Key Takeaways: Leadership is coaching — and coaching starts with understanding behavior. You cannot effectively train, lead, or recruit someone without knowing their DISC profile. DISC gives you permission to have hard conversations without damaging relationships. The strongest leaders aren't trapped by their personality — they learn how to override it. The more you master DISC, the more magnetic your leadership becomes.

Laughter Isn't Just Medicine... It's The Solution Most People Are Missing

What if renting your primary home is the smartest move you can make in a seven-figure market? We welcome Krys Benyamein, a first-generation American who walked away from a public defender career to join his family's Southern California brokerage, and he brings the kind of grounded clarity that cuts through housing hype. From LA County's “million-dollar doesn't feel like a million” reality to the psychology of leaving a prestige title, Krys shares a blueprint for building wealth and a life you actually like.Krys explains why he rents a $7k home instead of taking on an $11k mortgage, preserving capital and flexibility while holding low-rate assets that appreciate. Along the way, we connect ultrarunning and rock climbing to entrepreneurship—big goals are easy to announce and hard to resource, and the real work is designing a life that can carry them.

Episode Overview In the second part of this Power Hour series, John Kitchens together with operations expert Joel Perso to tackle one of the biggest bottlenecks holding agents and team leaders back: operational chaos. This session is a practical, back-to-basics masterclass on how to actually build business processes that scale, not just talk about systems. John and Joel break down the difference between systems, processes, SOPs, and checklists—and explain why most agents stay trapped in production because their business only exists in their head. If you've ever said "I need better systems" but felt overwhelmed on where to start, this episode gives you a clear, executable framework to begin documenting, delegating, and scaling—without overcomplicating it. Key Topics Covered Why Processes Are the Foundation of Freedom The difference between being self-employed and owning a real business Why you can't escape a business that only lives in your head How documented processes create leverage, consistency, and delegation Systems vs. Processes (And Why Most People Confuse Them) What a "system" actually is versus a "process" How multiple processes work together to support one system Real-world examples using marketing, listings, and lead conversion Where to Start Building Processes (Without Overwhelm) Identifying your core business processes by function Why lead generation and marketing should come first How to prioritize processes that create the biggest ROI The Power of Simplicity Why Google Docs and checklists beat complex flowcharts How checklists outperform experience alone The 80/20 rule of process design (and why perfection kills momentum) Making Processes Actually Get Used Why SOPs die on the shelf Connecting processes to daily, weekly, and monthly execution How activity checklists turn documentation into action Using AI to Accelerate Documentation Recording what you already do instead of starting from scratch How tools like Loom, Scribe, and AI can create SOPs faster Turning videos into checklists, SOPs, and training assets Leadership, Accountability, and Ownership Why processes should be owned by roles, not people How process ownership improves accountability and scalability Creating a culture of problem-solving instead of rigidity Resources & Mentions The Checklist Manifesto – Atul Gawande Traction / Rocket Fuel (EOS Framework) – Gino Wickman The Goal – Eliyahu Goldratt Trainual – Process documentation & training platform Scribe – AI-powered SOP creation Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway You don't scale by working harder—you scale by removing guesswork. Processes aren't about control or bureaucracy. They're about clarity, consistency, and creating freedom for you and your team. Start simple. Document what already works. Build checklists before complexity. And remember: a good process that handles 80% of situations beats a perfect one that never gets used.

And some of the most effective agents aren't full-time — they're intentional.We're talking about how to stop treating part-time like a limitation and start approaching it with clarity and strategy. If you've ever felt behind, discouraged, or unsure if you can really make this work while part-time, this conversation is for you.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEFollow Rukiyah on InstagramJoin the Real Estate Bestie Facebook Community ➡️ https://rosemarylewis.com/facebook

If you've ever felt busy but not powerful, productive but still unfulfilled, or like you're doing all the right things yet somehow still chasing the next deal… this episode is for you.In this conversation, I'm calling out one of the biggest misconceptions in real estate and entrepreneurship: that the answer is more hustle, more hours, more motivation. It's not. You're not lazy. You don't need another hype video or productivity hack. What you actually need is clarity, structure, and permission to stop chasing.This episode is about shifting from hustle to design—from being reactive all day to intentionally building a business that supports your income, your energy, and your life. It's about stepping fully into the role of Agent CEO, not just a busy agent.If you're ready to stop grinding, stop relying on motivation, and start building with intention… press play.Things I Cover in This EpisodeWhy Hustle Eventually Stops WorkingWhy hustle depends on inconsistent energyHow emotional revenue creates stress and burnoutThe real difference between reacting and designing your businessBusy Agents vs. Agent CEOsWhy busy doesn't equal effectiveHow Agent CEOs protect their energy and focusWhy leadership is about responsibility—not egoThe Clarity Reset Most Agents SkipWhy setting too many goals keeps you stuckHow vague goals sabotage executionThe 3 questions every Agent CEO must answer before setting targetsThe Simple Structure That Changes EverythingYour business must clearly answer:How do I generate leads consistently?How do I follow up without relying on memory or motivation?How does my brand build trust even when I'm not present?Elimination Is the Real Growth StrategyWhat looks productive but doesn't move revenueWhy playing bigger often means doing less—but betterHow I stopped chasing shiny opportunities and scaled with easeThe Philosophy Everything Ladders Back ToPick what matters. Build structure around it. Eliminate the rest.What's Coming NextIn the next episode, I break down The Revenue Routine™—the daily, weekly, and monthly actions that create predictable income without burnout, because consistency will always beat motivation.If this episode gave you clarity or helped you rethink how you're building your business, make sure to follow the podcast so you don't miss what's coming next.And if you're ready to grow with more intention, structure, and ease, head to www.letsplaybigger.com to see upcoming programs, events, and ways to work together.Until next time—stop chasing, start designing, and always Play Bigger.
