Episode Overview In this high-energy episode of One Big Fire, John Kitchens, Jay Kinder, and Al Stasek are joined by GoGo Bethke for a candid conversation about AI, trust, and the future of the real estate brokerage. From the rise of AI-powered ISAs to the shrinking role of traditional team structures, the crew pulls back the curtain on what's really coming next for agents, teams, and brokerages. They tackle the big questions head-on: Will AI replace human agents? Are we entering the era of the “AI brokerage”? What happens to the average frustrated agent (AFA)? And how will trust—between consumers, agents, and technology—reshape the entire industry? Whether you're a team leader, solo agent, or broker-owner, this episode is a blueprint for understanding how to adapt, thrive, and lead in a rapidly evolving marketplace. Key Topics Covered The AI Brokerage of the Future Why the brokerage that integrates AI first will likely win How lead generation, follow-up, and ISA roles are being replaced by AI Why consumers may one day prefer AI responses over human ones GoGo's Perspective: Efficiency & Trust Cutting her team from 43 employees down to 9 using AI without losing revenue Why AI can't “call in sick” but still faces trust barriers with consumers The opportunity to clone your voice, face, and personality into AI for scale Teams vs. Solo Agents in an AI World Are teams becoming obsolete—or evolving into leaner showing-agent models? Why AI may empower solo agents to compete at scale How brokerages offering AI infrastructure could eliminate the need for teams The Consumer Experience Moat AI as a personal real estate COO—handling search, negotiation, vendors, and more The looming threat (and opportunity) of AI-curated consumer journeys Why local nuance, trust, and brand will still matter The Future of Agents & NAR Could AI—not lawsuits—be the biggest threat to NAR? Why professionalism must rise as AI raises the consumer's baseline knowledge The widening gap between high producers using AI and low producers avoiding it Personal Transformation Through AI How Jay is using AI to parent, lead, and self-improve Why the agents who survive will be advisors, negotiators, and educators—not order takers The power of continuous growth and using AI as a true thinking partner Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO 2024 – Sept. 24–25 in Cleveland → AgentToCEOCE.com HoneyBadgerNation.com – Community, training, merch, CHSA/CHBA resources The AI-Driven Leader – Framework for adapting leadership to AI StoryBrand by Donald Miller – Messaging framework to guide clients with clarity The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale – Classic on mindset and thought power Final Takeaway AI isn't just a tool—it's a tidal wave. The agents, teams, and brokerages who survive will be the ones who combine AI efficiency with human trust, authority, and leadership. As Jay Kinder put it: “Being good with people won't cut it anymore. You must become a trusted advisor, not just an agent.” Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

“I didn't know those agents were on your team.”That's the best compliment Ben Schreiber's received recently. It came during a conversation with a couple of agents in his team's market.Why is it a compliment? The model behind his real estate team is all about the agent, not about him. He wants them running their businesses their way - including logos, marketing, and branding. It's an example of what it really means to build an agent-centric team—and what it looks like in practice, not just in theory.In this episode, the team leader of Service Plus RE and a former college tennis player and coach breaks down the philosophy, structure, and leverage behind their 25-agent, $70M-volume organization, a top-ranked team in Kentucky.Ben shares why he started a team rather than a brokerage, why he didn't name the team after himself, why he's obsessed with meeting agents where they are (whether they want to sell 6 homes a year or 40), and the three pillars are of his model (culture, support/implementation, and wealth building).Watch or listen to this conversation with Ben for insights into:How to make “agent-centric” a strategic operating principle, not just a buzzwordWhy coaching agents, like coaching tennis players, must be individualizedThe five staff roles on their 25-agent, $70M teamWhy the team isn't named after Ben and why he prefers a “Wizard of Oz” roleHow kaizen and EOS help improve your businessWhy he doesn't refer to splits and what he calls them insteadThe four things he wants agents to be doing and how that guides the leverage he providesThe level of control agents have over their marketing and branding (spoiler: it's a lot)How the team helps agents with wealth building (including their Agent Success Plan)The five core values that power team culture (integrity, service, innovation, collaboration, fun)The three readiness factors behind buying a home and joining a team or brokerageAt the end, get drive-by on the Cincinnati Bengals, University of Illinois tennis, 1990s sweatshirts, and … this show!Mentioned in this episode:→ Kaizen https://kaizen.com/what-is-kaizen/→ EOS episode https://www.realestateteamos.com/episode/eos-principles-scale-faster-real-estate-harvey-yergin→ eXp Team Leader Academy https://life.exprealty.com/exp-realty-team-leader-academy/→ Andy Mulholland episode www.realestateteamos.com/episode/mastering-real-estate-business-financials-andy-mulhollandConnect with Ben Schreiber:→ Ben at ServicePlusRE dot com→ https://www.serviceplusre.com/Follow Real Estate Team OS:→ https://www.realestateteamos.com→ https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos→ https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/

What does it take to build a real estate business that you truly love - rather than one you secretly want to burn down?In this conversation, Lindsay Dreyer, founder of City Chic Real Estate and Happy Agent Co, shares hard-won lessons from 14 years of brokerage ownership, including how she runs her boutique firm remotely, why intentionality trumps “team fever,” and how to design a business that supports—not sabotages—your life.In a story of clarity, process, and self-awareness, Lindsay breaks down the difference between being a people person and a process person, why most agents shouldn't start teams, and how to know if you're better off plugging into someone else's system or building your own.You'll hear how City Chic's 30-day onboarding challenge weeds out the uncommitted, why their agents are 50/50 new and experienced, and how a focus on admin, marketing, and transaction management enables top solo agents to thrive without needing to build teams of their own.Lindsay also details the leap to running their business from 500 miles away, the key roles that make remote leadership possible, and the systems that keep everything humming. You'll get a transparent look at their tech stack (including why she's a self-described “Zap-aholic”), the real numbers behind their 12-agent, $72M brokerage, and the philosophy that underpins the Happy Agent approach: start with joy, design for your life, and don't buy into the myth that more is always better.Watch or listen for insights into:What “team fever” is, why it's rampant, and how to avoid building a business you'll regret.Why intentionality—knowing your “why”—is the must-have characteristic for high-performing leaders and teams.How to assess if you're a people person or a process person, and why it matters for team leadership and the hiring process.Why City Chic is a brokerage rather than a team, why agents are a 50/50 mix of new and experienced, and how that shapes culture.How to test-drive team leadership before going all-in—without risking your business or sanity.What it takes to run a brokerage remotely, including the key roles and systems that make it possible.How to design marketing that actually keeps agents in front of their sphere (and why most fail).How to ramp up newer agents by connecting them with renters.Why simplicity in tech stacks beats complexity, how she became a “Zapaholic,” and how to drive agent adoption.How agents can find their right fit team or brokerage by aligning personality, lifestyle, and goalsAt the end, learn about a $10,000 fridge and solo, three-day retreats.Follow Lindsay Dreyer:→ https://www.instagram.com/lindsay.dreyer/→ https://citychicrealestate.com→ https://happyagent.coFollow Real Estate Team OS:→ https://www.realestateteamos.com→ https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos→ https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/

In this hard-hitting episode, Chris delivers a powerful message every agent needs to hear — most of us are lying to ourselves about the work we're actually doing. Chris breaks down a stat from a recent mastermind revealing the average agent makes less than one two-minute prospecting call per day, yet thinks they're making six. He parallels this with a personal fitness journey and challenges agents to track their numbers, stay honest, and do the actual work required to win in today's brutal market. Key Takeaways:Agents believe they're working harder than they are — and that disconnect is devastating their business.Micro-cheating (in business or health) adds up and sabotages results.Tracking is the key to progress. If you're not measuring it, you're making it up.Prospecting five meaningful conversations per day can lead to a 30%+ increase in revenue.The ones who succeed are the ones who don't quit at the 15-minute mark.Being honest about your activity is the foundation of building real momentum in your career.Connect with Chris:

                                          Listen in as Erin and Mallory discuss: How Mallory scaled from helping with a few apartment sales to running a $200M team — in just 7 years. How she spent two full years learning the basics and building a real business foundation before scaling. How her team thrives on clear SOPs, post-deal roadmaps, and constant refinement (even after success). How hiring the right assistant changed her life — but she had to go through several wrong fits to get there. How wins don't magically lead to more business — you must outflow, take action, and keep the momentum going.                                               About Mallory Bogard is co-founder of the Bogard New York Team, a top real estate team in New York City at SERHANT. Mallory began her real estate career in 2016. Prior to real estate, Mallory held an esteemed 10-year career in timepieces, overseeing international markets and global growth for a leading timepiece company. She traveled extensively, analyzed local market sales and viability, and positioned brands in other countries for maximum success. Prior to that, she worked on seasonal branding for a fashion house licensed for timepieces for Marc by Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Burberry, Diesel, Michael Kors, and more. Mallory's specializations include brand-positioning, business development, and leadership. By her 2nd year in real estate, Mallory achieved her first large feat, signing up her first new development; by year 3, she was an associate broker; and by year 4, she had garnered over $100 million in sales. She has laid the business foundation for business growth in team operations, and now she trains, leads, and manages other agents into successful careers in real estate with the founding principals: hon­esty, integrity, and work to uplift the industry of professional real estate salespeople, by growing the next generation of agents to do the same. Mallory is frequently a guest speaker at her alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, podcasts, and real estate panels and events, speaking on "Dreaming Bigger", her journey from growing up on an emu farm in Oklahoma to leading one of the fastest- growing real estate teams in New York City.
