Welcome to the lenders playbook podcast, episode 85. We are your go to podcast for private lending, real estate and entrepreneurship. I am your host Matt RosenToday, we're catching up with Josh Jensen one of the most innovative forces in the inspection and appraisal valuation world — We had Josh on episode 58, which ironically is 85 backwards....Well, since then they've launched a new product that could change the way lenders and investors handle valuations forever.We're diving into what sparked this game-changing idea, how their hybrid desktop model works, and why it's winning over the non-QM space. We'll talk turn times that could save you days, how they're keeping data rock-solid and compliant, and the surprising feedback that's already reshaping the product. If you've ever wanted a faster, smarter way to handle appraisals without cutting corners — you're going to want to hear this one.”
Episode Overview In this candid, behind-the-scenes conversation, John Kitchens sits down with top-producing agent and entrepreneur Bryan Colquitt to explore what it really takes to design a real estate business—and a life—that align with your deepest priorities. From dismantling a thriving team of nine agents to rebuild as a highly profitable solo agent, Bryan shares why chasing status nearly cost him his freedom, and how clarity, boundaries, and saying “no” reshaped everything. If you've ever felt the pressure to grow bigger, do more, and be everywhere—this episode is your permission slip to step back, get intentional, and build a business that serves your life, not the other way around. What You'll Learn in This Episode Key #1: Redefining Success Why “freedom” beats “status” every time How becoming a parent forced Bryan to re-evaluate everything The non-negotiables that guide every business decision now Key #2: Letting Go of the Ego How to step away from a big team without burning bridges Why comparison is the thief of joy—and how to stop chasing someone else's dream Removing the fear of “what will people think?” when making big changes Key #3: Lean, Profitable Operations Running a high-margin business as a solo agent How Bryan's mornings and evenings are structured for presence at home The “main thing” that keeps business moving every day (hint: conversations) Key #4: Navigating a “Have-To” Market Why most real estate decisions right now are emotional, not logical How to uncover the real “why” behind a client's move Serving as an advisor—not just a salesperson—even when it means telling clients to wait Key #5: Trust Over Transactions Building long-term relationships through transparency and empathy Setting boundaries with clients while elevating the service experience How emotional intelligence creates referrals and repeat business in any market Tools & Resources Mentioned Traction by Gino Wickman – for operational clarity Coldwell Banker Advantage – Bryan's brokerage partner Sphere & Database Marketing – Bryan's primary lead source strategy Final Takeaway Success isn't about the size of your team, the number of transactions, or the title on your business card. It's about designing a business that fuels your perfect day, protects your time, and gives you the freedom to be fully present where it matters most. Bryan Colquitt's journey proves that stepping back can be the boldest move forward. “You have to say no to the wrong things so you can say yes to the right life.” – Bryan Colquitt Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

In this episode of the Real Estate Investing School Podcast, host Joe Jensen interviews Jeremy Beland—a real estate investor, coach, and family man who didn't start his investing journey until age 40. After selling his townhouse and moving into a tiny apartment, Jeremy used the equity to join a wholesaling mentorship program. That leap of faith launched a successful off-market acquisitions business where he now runs deals across wholesaling, flipping, BRRRR, novations, and whole-tailing. Jeremy shares how surviving the joining the Air Force, and hitting rock bottom helped shape his mindset and mission. He dives into his favorite exit strategies, how he uses private money to fund deals, and why learning sales and acquisition skills is more important than any marketing trick.

Episode 104: What If Property Taxes Disappeared? In this episode of Drunk Real Estate, the crew explores a wild but surprisingly logical idea: What if we eliminated property taxes on homes? Would it make housing more affordable—or bankrupt your local school district? The guys dig into the real-world economic impacts, how this would shift the incentives for homeowners and investors, and whether we could realistically replace that revenue in a way that works. Expect sharp takes, creative alternatives, and a no-holds-barred discussion on whether property taxes are a necessary evil or a broken system ripe for reform.
What if I told you that nobody cares about your effort—until you win? This is the brutal truth about building anything meaningful: your work is invisible until it pays off. In this raw, unfiltered solo episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a real estate business while working a W2, raising a family, and getting kicked in the teeth by the grind. No exits. No millions. No highlight reel. Just truth. I've lost money. I've closed deals after restaurant shifts. I've stayed up late, missed vacations, and poured everything into a dream most people won't care about until it “works.” This episode is for the ones still in the fight. The ones building with no applause. The ones doing it anyway. If you're grinding in silence, doubting yourself, or waiting for someone to care—this is your sign to keep going.
