Playing Bigger isn't about blowing up your life.It's not about hustling harder.And it's definitely not about 10X-ing everything overnight.In this very first episode of The Play Bigger Podcast, I'm having an honest conversation about something most high achievers don't want to admit: the quiet, hidden cost of playing small.On the outside, it can look like success. You have clients. You're busy. The calendar is full. Money is coming in. But on the inside… you know you're operating beneath your true capacity.In this episode, I break down the real price you pay when you delay tough decisions, stay the bottleneck, avoid visibility, or keep telling yourself, “I'll build it later.” I also share exactly how this showed up in my own journey—even at high levels of success.This isn't about motivation.This is about standards. And the question is simple: Are you willing to raise yours?If you've been feeling a quiet tension between where you are and where you know you're capable of going—this episode will hit different.Things I Cover in This EpisodeWhat playing small actually looks like for high performersThe 5 real costs of playing small:Financial costTime costEmotional costIdentity costLegacy costWhy exhaustion and playing small can exist at the same timeThe difference between operator thinking vs. CEO thinkingHow high achievers get stuck longer than anyone elseThe danger of “successful dysfunction”My personal seasons of playing small (even while producing big)The fear behind staying private, avoiding visibility, and delaying leverageA powerful self-audit to reveal where you're cappedWhat playing bigger truly means (without chaos or burnout)The one decision that can shift your entire next chapterIf this episode challenged you in the best way, here's your move:Pick one area where you've been playing small.Make one bold decision this week that moves you into alignment.If you're ready to scale with structure, clarity, and strategy, explore what we're building at letsplaybigger.comAnd if this episode hit home, share it with someone who needs the push.---Thank you for joining me on this episode of Play Bigger with Raquel Quinet, and remember, keep pushing your limits to achieve your goals.For updates and collaborations or opportunities, go to www.LetsPlayBigger.comFind more resources on our websitehttps://raquelq.com/podcast/Follow Raquel on Raquel Quinet's socials:Instagram | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInCheck Out Our2025 Play Bigger EventsApply to be in our Play Bigger MastermindGrow Your Real Estate Business with Real BrokerageJoin our Facebook Play Bigger Community

This is Part 1 of our deep dive with Jay Kathol and Ashley Wells, and it's a masterclass in what really happens behind the scenes of bigger real estate deals. Jay and Ashley walk through the highs and gut-punch lows of taking on a 40-unit multifamily, why their due diligence grade was a hard “C-minus,” and what they'd do differently before ever touching another boiler building again.They talk legacy properties, inheriting a deal from family, and why sometimes singles and doubles beat swinging for home runs. You'll hear how they started navigating bad tenants, contractor issues, surprise capital expenses, and a property with a rough reputation—plus how creative financing and buying the LLC instead of just the asset set the stage for what comes next in Part 2.If you're thinking about scaling into bigger multifamily or commercial, start with this episode so you don't learn these early lessons the hard (and expensive) way.

Send us a textThe National Association of REALTORs was in the news last week concerning two policies. One was changed and the other was upheld. First, NAR voted to end the requirement of NAR membership to gain access to REALTOR owned MLSs. This is a great policy change but did the change go far enough?Secondly, NAR failed to approve the required disclosure of referral fees in a real estate transaction. This is a very bad look for the Association especially when you hear the amount of support in the Association for the change.

This season has shown me something most people don't talk about out loud: your relationships will either accelerate your vision… or quietly slow it down.As we get to the end of the year, people start reflecting on gratitude, lessons, and the people in their life — and that reflection hits differently when you realize some relationships no longer feel aligned. Maybe you feel drained after certain conversations. Maybe the friendships that used to fit… don't. Maybe your circle feels smaller but sharper.You're not imagining it.You're not being dramatic.You're growing.And not everyone is meant to come with you into your next season.In today's episode, I'm sharing the truth about shifting friendships, evolving standards, and the emotional cost of outgrowing people you once loved deeply. I'll walk you through how I curate my circle, how I protect my energy, and how I decide who gets access to me — not based on history, but based on alignment.If you've been feeling disconnected, drained, or misunderstood this year… this episode will give you clarity, permission, and a framework for choosing relationships that match who you're becoming — not who you used to be. Things I cover in this Episode:The moment you realize you've outgrown old friendshipsWhy growth can feel lonely (and why it's not actually loneliness — it's expansion)How to protect your energy without guiltThe Access Buckets Framework I teach my kidsInner Circle vs. Growth Circle vs. Clients vs. DrainersHow to filter relationships using expanders vs. diminishersWhy boundaries aren't rejection — they're alignmentHow to elevate your rooms and stop staying where you're the strongest oneWhat happens when your bandwidth shrinks and your standards riseA step-by-step “Play Bigger Relationship Audit” to realign your circle for 2026If this episode resonates with you — if it gives you clarity, permission, or a deep exhale — share it with a friend, tag me on Instagram @itsraquelq, or send me a message inside my VIP text community at textraquel.com.And if you're ready to grow with me in 2026 — through coaching, events, or a VIP Day in Scottsdale — send me a DM.

To celebrate 500 episodes of the Financial Freedom with Real Estate Podcast, Michael flips the script and answers your biggest questions. Listeners submitted their favorite episodes plus their most burning questions about scaling, quitting a W-2, raising capital, working with brokers, avoiding bad deals, parenting, mindset, and even… Michael's net worth. This special episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom from a decade of podcasting and real-world investing experience.Key Takeaways: Time is not the real barrier — priority is. With 5 focused hours a week, you can build a multimillion-dollar real estate business on the side. When to quit your W-2? It's personal. Burn-the-boats works for some, but most people exit when acquisition fees and deal income create a meaningful financial runway. Comfort zone determines whether you buy a duplex or a 50-unit. Touring larger properties stretches your perceived limits instantly. Raising capital is easier than you think. Engineers, introverts, and first-timers routinely raise $500K–$750K within 60 days with the right playbook. You don't need to raise all the money yourself. Capital raisers and deal finders are natural partners — leverage ecosystems and joint ventures. How to stand out to brokers: Build a team first, stop using newbie language, stay responsive, and meet them in person. Know when to walk away from a deal: Sometimes you should — sometimes you shouldn't. Experienced mentors help you see the difference. Focus on passive income, not net worth. Financial freedom is when passive income exceeds living expenses. Most valuable life lesson for his kids: Live intentionally. Not defaulting into a career or life path. Success is less about outcomes and more about who you become. Mindset, peace, and character matter more than money.

This Thanksgiving hits differently… and I wanted to bring you into the real story behind why. If you had asked me a year ago whether my mom would be sitting at the table celebrating her 76th birthday today, I couldn't have given you an answer. We prayed. We fought. We almost lost her—twice. And this year forced me to slow down in ways I never expected.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing a message straight from my heart. Not as a business coach. Not as an entrepreneur. But as a daughter navigating one of the hardest seasons of her life.I talk about what this year taught me about legacy, presence, loss, gratitude, and the truth about building a life you actually want to live—not just a business that looks successful on paper.This isn't just a Thanksgiving message. It's a reminder of what matters, what lasts, and what we often forget while we're chasing goals, growth, and the next milestone.If you're in a season of building… or a season of slowing down… or a season of transition… this one is for you.

If your answer is anything other than YES, this episode is your wake-up call.In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes as I break down the three must-have systems every single agent needs to lock in before the end of the year—no fluff, no overwhelm, just the essentials that generate leads, stop money leaks, and build a business that doesn't depend on constant hustle.Because here's the truth: Vision without systems is just stress dressed up in hope. And how you end this year will determine exactly how you start 2026.I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact systems my top clients use to scale with ease—so you can clean up the chaos, tighten the gaps, and create a business that grows even when you're not grinding.If you're ready to step into your CEO role, build sustainable success, and start the new year with clarity and momentum… you're in the right place.

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Joe Jensen interviews Dave Seymour, a former firefighter turned real estate mogul who got his start in the industry during the 2008 crash. Dave shares how financial hardship and an exhausting 120-hour work week led him to invest $27,000 in real estate education—despite being in pre-foreclosure. That investment marked a turning point, igniting a transformation fueled by mindset and implementation. He recounts his first wholesale deal that earned him $5,000 and how it validated his new path, ultimately leading to a successful career in flipping, wholesaling, and multifamily investing. Dave emphasizes that implementation and accountability are more valuable than inspiration alone, reflecting on how few of his peers followed through after the same training. As the conversation evolves, Dave discusses the strategic progression from small real estate deals to larger multifamily acquisitions and eventually into capital management and lending. He attributes his success to building the right team, leveraging partnerships, and continuously expanding his toolset. He stresses the importance of personal growth, faith over fear, and staying grounded through values rather than ego. Dave also critiques the over-saturation of so-called "experts" online and urges aspiring investors to live a life worthy of storytelling. He closes by explaining how today's market requires wealth protection over quick returns, and that long-term success comes from steady, intentional investing—especially in multifamily real estate.

Owner Financing & Note Investing Podcast with Dawn Rickabaugh
This was a fun chat with someone I met through another coaching group for entrprenuers. Erin and I can appreciate each others' sense of humor... and being able to laugh is high value! We got caught here in the beginning laughing over Charmander... anyone have kids that used to play Pokemon?? We discuss the challenges and opportunities surrounding homeownership in today's market, specifically focusing on owner financing as a powerful, yet often overlooked strategy. The conversation addresses the difficulties faced by younger generations in buying homes due to soaring prices and high-interest rates, and how traditional bank financing may no longer be the only or best option. Instead, owner financing—where the seller acts as the lender—can unlock trillions in home equity held mostly by baby boomers, creating a win-win scenario for both sellers and buyers. We cover how government policies and monetary interventions during and after COVID-19 have distorted housing markets, driving up prices and making homeownership inaccessible for many. They emphasize that many boomers own homes free and clear, holding substantial equity that can be leveraged through owner financing to provide flexible, lower-interest loans to younger buyers. This method bypasses traditional bank loans, reduces transaction costs, and can offer better terms for both parties. The discussion also dives into practical advice on how to approach owner financing deals, including how buyers can find sellers willing to finance, the importance of having at least a 10% down payment, and how owner financing documents work similarly to bank loans but without the middleman. The conversation highlights the tax advantages and income stability for sellers who carry the loan, and the benefit to buyers who can secure better interest rates and terms. The value of fostering personal relationships and trust between parties is stressed, along with the need for proper legal guidance. They also touch on common misconceptions about owner financing, the risks of poorly structured notes, and the secondary market for selling these loans. The interview concludes with encouragement for people to explore owner financing as a strategic alternative to conventional home buying, especially amid current market volatility and economic uncertainty, offering hope and actionable insights for those feeling priced out or stuck.
Jason has a conversation with Julian Domanico, sales associate with BHHS Fox & Roach's office The Harper in Rittenhouse Square about the pyschology of a real estate transaction. We'll touch upon Julian's background in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, how the use of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) relates to his own real estate business driving successful transactions, and how modulating and controling your own behavior to stressful situations may lead to the desired behavioral outcomes with your clients and co-op agents. Fascinating!
