The investigator is now being investigated. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led two of the four criminal cases against then former President Donald Trump, is under scrutiny over allegations he was politically targeting the President. James Trusty, former federal prosecutor and former Trump attorney during the Jack Smith investigations, joins the Rundown to discuss the latest investigation. Home price listings have reached a new high, over $435,000 for the median U.S. home, according to the National Association of Realtors. As housing sales slow, it's one of the things on President Trump's mind when he emphasizes the need for interest rates to come down. Real estate broker and star of 'Million Dollar Listing New York,' Kirsten Jordan, joins the show to discuss rising mortgage rates, the financial temptation to rent, and why younger buyers are facing issues which older generations did not.

You're standing in an open house, sweating in a blazer, and someone asks how many HVAC units are in the home. Cue the internal panic. In this episode, we're diving into one of the most relatable questions we've ever received: How much do I actually need to know about houses to be a good Realtor? Spoiler alert: more than “I'll find out for you” on repeat, but less than a licensed contractor. Whether you're brand new or years in, this episode will help you figure out where the gaps are in your knowledge, how to fill them, and what your clients really expect from you. We share our own early embarrassments (looking at you, open house meltdown), what we've learned along the way, and how we approach showing prep, including how much we know before we ever step foot in the door. We'll talk about: What to say when you don't know the answer The key home systems and materials every Realtor should understand How we research and prep for showings and inspections The most efficient ways to learn about houses on the job What we do and don't memorize before a showing Why attending inspections is better than reading reports This episode is full of practical advice, permission to not know everything, and a little pep talk to go learn your product. Because you can't sell what you don't understand. Take one hour this week and walk through a vacant home or attend an inspection. Ask questions. Learn what you don't know. It'll pay off in client confidence and better service. Key Quotes/Takeaways “You can't sell what you don't understand.” —Katy “It's not about knowing everything. It's about knowing where to find the answer.” —Alissa “If you keep saying ‘I'll find out,' eventually clients will wonder what exactly you do know.” —Katy “You're not the inspector, but you are supposed to be an informed professional.” —Alissa “Knowing your product builds confidence. And confidence builds trust.” —Katy   Leave us a review at ratethispodcast.com/hustlehumbly Get your FREE Database Template  Email Templates 101: emailtemplates101.com Build Your Own Business 101: hustlehumblypodcast.com/byob Agent Systems 101: agentsystems101.com All Resources: hustlehumblypodcast.com Submit your topic ideas and toasts to team@hustlehumblypodcast.com   Music: Straight A's by Conner Price The Good Life by Summer Kennedy  

On today's show we are talking about the softening of the residential housing market that is underway across both the US and Canada. The seasonally adjusted numbers are in for the month of June which now shows four months of steady decline compared with the previous months. Again, we need to remember that these are seasonally adjusted numbers. The June numbers are still about 2% higher than the same period in 2024. This is true for the top 20 primary markets across the US as well as the national averages. The numbers are pretty consistent for both the Case Schiller report as well as the National Association of Realtors. The national home builders are also experiencing falling demand. New single family home sales have fallen by 6.6% in the first six months of 2025. Home builders have tried to adapt to the falling demand by building smaller and more affordable homes. But sales have fallen even with these adaptations to market demand. ----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Bestie, let's keep it all the way real—success in real estate is not just about cute listings and closing day selfies.

Never Give Up on Your Dream... How Baseball and More can Teach us Lessons That Can Encourage Us to Keep Pursuing our Dreams in both Life and Business. What if the path to your biggest dreams wasn't found in swinging for the fences, but in mastering the little things? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Joel Goldberg, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, television host, and veteran reporter who travels with the Kansas City Royals. Known for his front-row seat to Major League Baseball's highs and lows, Joel has spent decades learning not just about the game — but about the people who play it, and the everyday habits that create lasting success. Joel's latest book, Small Ball Big Dreams, takes readers inside the clubhouse and behind the curtain, sharing stories from professional athletes, business leaders, and high performers who've built elite cultures by focusing on what he calls “the small ball” — the consistent, intentional, behind-the-scenes efforts that don't always make the highlight reel, but win championships on and off the field. In this episode, we'll explore how values like trust, preparation, resilience, and human connection can radically transform organizations, teams, and lives. As Joel shares, greatness isn't built on grand gestures — it's found in the morning routines, the hard conversations, the extra reps, and the way leaders show up every single day. From World Series-winning clubhouses to Fortune 500 boardrooms, Small Ball Big Dreams reminds us that culture isn't something you declare — it's something you live, one small action at a time. ⚾ Join us  for a conversation that blends baseball wisdom, leadership insight, and practical takeaways for anyone chasing big dreams. Whether you're a fan of the game or just ready for a new direction in your life, this is one episode you won't want to miss! Joel Goldberg's book, "Small Ball Big Dreams", is an absolute gem.  Because of his career as an announcer and all his radio and TV travels, Joel interviews many of the stars that you know, and many that you don't know. But in every interview there are valuable lessons for staying with your dream, becoming a better leader, and living a better life. The book really emphasizes that your life is not a straight path.  It will have obstacles, challenges, and at time discouragement.  In fact, what you initial thought you were set out to do, may in fact change and that change with the right attitude, effort, and resiliency will prove to be more fulfilling and serve a great purpose than what you could have ever imagined. When I finished reading the book, I was challenged, but more so, I was inspired!  What will be the next challenge that will push me to my new direction?  What do I need to let go of, that I will become the person with a life that impacts others.  Perhaps former Major League umpire Te Bennett summed it up best, "You have got to look at yourself in the mirror, and ask, 'what can I do better?'."

With thousands of submissions to be a part of the NAHREP's Top list, only 250 can make it. I'm proud to say that I have three lovely estrellas who made this list: Iris Lobo, Sandra Juliano, and Jennifer Price, who are chatting with me in this episode. Grab your cafecitos and join us in this conversation to hear their stories of resilience, reinvention, and purpose-driven leadership in real estate to empower you to shine in your own lane.  Meet the Leaders Iris Lobo, REALTOR® and Team Leader, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate, iris.lobo@bhhsamb.com. Sandra Juliano – REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties, SandraJuliano@bhhsne.com. Jennifer Price – REALTOR®, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, in Florida, jennifer@jenniferpricegroup.com. Estrellas' Backgrounds & Markets Each of my guests discussed what made them choose real estate as their profession. Sandra started within the New York City market through a mix of professional and personal transitions. The median home price in her market is around $1.2 million. Sandra's clientele often includes professionals with connections to NYC and corporations in the area. Iris Lobo leads the Spanish-speaking team in Omaha, Nebraska, and also serves the Council Bluffs, Iowa, area. She and her team focus on empowering Latino families, with typical home values ranging from $250,000 to $350,000. Jennifer Price serves Miami and South Florida, specializing in multicultural and multilingual clients. Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, she particularly serves the Brazilian and South American communities. Achievements & Honors Each estrella reflects on the immense honor and significance of being named among NAHREP's Top 250 Latino real estate agents. The accolade is highly competitive and acknowledges excellence and impact in service to the community. They also explore how their heritage and upbringing have shaped their drive and ambitions, ultimately leading them to where they are today.  Bold Moves & Defining Moments After losing her corporate job, Jennifer chose not to succumb to fear and decided to reinvent herself. She trusted her instincts and pursued what truly made her happy. She believed in herself, didn't let fear get in the way, and attributes her success to that defining moment of self-belief and action. Sandra's difficult moment came when she was at a local park and someone assumed that she was her son's nanny due to her looks and told her something unsettling. Rather than letting this discourage her, Sandra used it as fuel to prove them wrong and succeed in real estate. That experience solidified her determination and drive. Early in Iris's career, she felt unsupported even by those closest to her. This made her doubt her potential for success. However, real, meaningful connections with clients and discovering her true passion for helping others through homeownership helped her push past the urge to quit. Adapting to Industry Change With the rise of AI technology, each of my guests shares how they're adapting to its use in real estate. Jennifer shares how she utilizes ChatGPT as a powerful ally and emphasizes the importance of authenticity on social media.  Sandra discusses how she understands that it's best for her to turn her social media channels over to a trusted specialist. Doing so allows her to extend her reach in more meaningful ways and make her brand more connected to the community. Iris mentions feeding her values and information into AI tools to make sure her content maintains her authentic voice. For her team, tech solutions are customized to match their unique blend of faith, culture, and strategy. Podcasts, Life Lessons, & Quotes Jennifer: Shared Maya Angelou's wisdom, “People will never forget how you made them feel,” emphasizing the lasting value of showing care and positivity. Iris: Quoted Luke 1:37, “Faith doesn't make things easy; it makes them possible,” highlighting the sustaining power of faith in hard times. Sandra: Recommended the podcast “You're Dead To Me,” for its engaging, comedic takes on history—especially stories of women's strength and resilience. When you help another woman rise, we all shine. And that's how we make an impact. So, let's build each other up and shine brighter than the sun.

These days, it's harder than ever for marginalized buyers to break into the market. Prices are high, lending rules are tighter, and misinformation is everywhere. The path to homeownership can feel impossible. Agents aren't off the hook either. With all the changes to buyer representation and compensation, agents are being asked to prove their value in every single deal, while trying to serve clients who need more help than ever. That's where Midwest Home M@tch comes in. We built an AI-powered referral network that connects agents with pre-approved, ready-to-go buyers. Especially those who qualify for down payment assistance, employer housing support, parishioner programs, and more.  These aren't just leads,  they're matches. And the system is built to help agents close deals that would otherwise fall through the cracks. What are some of the things you'll get with Midwest Home M@tch? How is this referral network different?  In this episode, I'm joined by creative design, brand development expert, and my partner in Midwest Home M@tch, Anita Clinton.  We get into how this all works, how agents can plug in, and why the future of real estate might just be about matching people to money, not just homes.   If real estate agents implemented down payment assistance, 30% of deals that are canceled would be salvageable. -Marki Lemons Ryhal   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The real estate anointing advantage How can you tell if a property has access to $25K in down payment assistance?

Join us for a captivating conversation with Jack Landry, a former Google engineer who swapped the tech hustle for the tranquility of Bali to pursue a mission of coaching high-performing individuals. Jack's journey is one of bold transitions, sparked by early leadership roles and the influential wisdom of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. Broadcasting from a paradise-like backdrop, Jack discusses his departure from a successful tech career to a path that aligns with his true purpose—guiding men toward clarity, direction, and discipline to escape life's drift.   We also explore the tumultuous shift from the structured corporate world to the liberating yet challenging realm of self-employment. Our discussion highlights the often overlooked impact that high-pressure work environments can have on personal well-being and the persistent myth that longer hours lead to greater success. By focusing on a balanced approach across physical, mental, and spiritual domains, Jack and I reveal how professionals can not only boost their career performance but also enrich their personal relationships, leading to a more harmonious life experience.   The journey doesn't stop there. We explore the deep-seated identity shifts that come with moving beyond careers tied to achievements, whether it's athletes transitioning out of sports or anyone too closely bound to their professional identity. Jack and I emphasize the importance of recognizing worth beyond accomplishments and building genuine connections. We also tackle the evolving challenges of modern masculinity, encouraging men to embrace their roles as providers and protectors. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of personal growth and overcoming the vices that hold us back, aiming to inspire a more fulfilling and purposeful life.   CHAPTERS    (00:00) - Escape the Drift With Jack Landry (09:46) - Achieving Balance and Harmony in Life (23:07) - Discovering Identity Beyond Achievements (28:39) - Embracing the Journey and Overcoming Vices (39:31) - Navigating New Masculinity Challenges (49:39) - Supporting Escaping the Drift Podcast

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I take you back to a moment that almost broke me and ended up building me. The truth is, most of what holds us back in business has nothing to do with knowledge or skill. It has everything to do with how we react when we feel exposed. That feeling of not being good enough, smart enough, or ready enough. And in real estate, that happens more often than most of us want to admit. When I first got into REOs during the market crash, I was just trying to survive. I didn't have connections. I didn't know the game. I was just willing to outwork everybody. I'd stay up for hours doing broker price opinions for pennies, hoping it would open a door. And eventually, it did. But at one of my first conferences, I got hit with something that shook me. I was talking to an asset manager when another agent someone local decided to embarrass me in front of him. I didn't know what a “tape” was, and he laughed like it was the dumbest thing in the world. I shrank. I went back to my hotel room that night feeling worthless. And in that moment, I believed what he was trying to make me feel that I didn't belong. What I didn't realize then is that these moments happen to all of us. Whether you're brand new or been in the business ten years, there's always someone trying to assert dominance. Asking “Are you new?” isn't just a question. It's a power move. It's someone trying to put you in your place so they can feel more secure in theirs. But here's what I learned the hard way. That moment of embarrassment became fuel. That agent wanted to establish superiority, but he woke up something in me that would not stop. I became one of the top REO producers in the state. I ended up doing business with that same asset manager he tried to impress. I outgrew that moment. And I outgrew him. Years later, I still see this same dynamic play out with our agents. Newer agents getting shut down by condescending tones. Veteran agents feeling like they should already know everything, so they stop asking questions. That is how growth dies. We don't have to play that game. We don't have to respond on their terms. You don't have to pick up the phone just because someone is calling. You don't have to explain yourself to someone who's trying to corner you. Hold your frame. Stick to the facts. And know that your license is just as powerful as anyone else's no matter how long they've had theirs. When I coach my team, I always bring it back to this: confidence isn't pretending you know everything. It's knowing you'll figure it out. It's showing up anyway. It's staying calm, making your move, and letting your work speak louder than their words ever could. ### Ask Yourself: Have I ever let someone else's comment or tone shrink my confidence or momentum? Am I avoiding situations where I feel exposed instead of using them to grow? What would it look like if I treated every embarrassing moment as a catalyst instead of a setback? ### Notable Quotes: “He didn't realize he woke up a monster.” “You don't have to answer to anyone especially not on their time.” “Your license is just as good as mine, and I've been doing this for 21 years.” Let them talk. Let them posture. And then let your results do the rest.     Follow A.Z. Araujo on Social Media: Instagram: @azaraujo Facebook: A.Z. Araujo TikTok: A.Z.

That's probably why you're not growing.Too many agents are stuck on an island—wearing all the hats, doing all the work, and still wondering why their business won't scale. It's not a hustle problem. It's a support problem.In this episode, I break down exactly why going solo in this business holds you back—and what to do instead if you want to grow with purpose, scale with systems, and finally build something that lasts.

What are some of your goals you have for your property management business? Do these goals inspire you? Do these goals make you feel motivated to take action TODAY? In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull share ideas they learned from Dr. Benjamin Hardy at Mastermind in Paradise surrounding impossible goal setting as a strategy for growing faster. You'll Learn [01:25] Using Goals and Time as Tools for Growth [07:51] Changing Your Mindset  [12:25] Changing Your Goals Changes Your Priorities Quotables “Goals that we set usually that are realistic are based on our current level of thinking.” “If we only operate based on our current level of thinking, we don't grow.” “You need to have something that's going to stretch you out of your current comfort zone and your current level of thinking.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason & Sarah Hull (00:00) if you felt uninspired in your business, you're not getting the growth that you want, you're on a bad   All right, we are Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs.

At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners   and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now let's get into the show. Okay, so we just recently got back from Mexico. We got back from Mexico and we had a good trip there. So what do we go to Mexico to do? We actually went to Mastermind in Paradise.   which was incredible. It was absolutely incredible. It was actually better than I thought it was going to be. Yeah, it was really cool. We got to connect and network with a lot of really cool people. And one of the key speakers that we got to do a private session with, with a small group was Dr. Benjamin Hardy. So Ben Hardy has written some amazing books. 10X is easier than 2X, The Gap and the Gain, Who Not How, and we got a preview   of two of his upcoming books one is time as a tool and the other is the science of scaling and everybody's mind were blown at this event and he He shared a different framework for how to look at goals. And so do you want to explain this? Why don't you why don't you explain it? Okay, and then i'll chime in. Okay So this is really exciting. So   A lot of times we set goals that are realistic and the challenge with realistic goals, goals that we set usually that are realistic are based on our current level of thinking. Our current level of thinking is the current problem. it's a limited thing. It's, it's our current thoughts and capacity and abilities and ideas. And if we only operate based on our current level of thinking, we don't grow. And so these are crappy goals. These are not effective goals to get us inspired, to get us excited. So   I realized I in some ways felt really unmotivated because I've had a goal for a while to get to a certain growth level and impact level and revenue level, but it was a linear goal. It was a realistic goal. was making sure the goal was realistic, that I could see how to do it. And then it just meant more work because it was realistic. I was just thinking, this is what I know how to do now. And I just need to do based on my current level of thinking, more work, like 10 times more work if I want to get.   10 times bigger. And that's just such a grind. It's just really draining. So if you felt unmotivated, if you felt uninspired in your business, you're not getting the growth that you want, you're on a bad path currently. path is not is a path based on your current reality, which means you're not thinking differently. And so he talked about how it's important, essential to have impossible goals. You have to pick a goal.   that is impossible or unrealistic or unreasonable based on your current level of thinking. And if you pick a goal that is currently impossible or unreasonable, what's amazing is your brain is like a masterful supercomputer. It's like a quantum computer and your unconscious mind and your subconscious and eventually your conscious mind will come up with ideas, new ways of thinking. If the goal is outside of your current level of thinking, it's currently impossible with your current level of thinking.   And so this was where the goal becomes a tool to get you to think differently. And so if you view goals instead of as something you have to hit or you beat yourself up or you try to hit because you want something and you try to get yourself really motivated, that's, think that's a poor way of thinking about the goal. The goal really is a tool to help you to think differently and help you to grow and help you to expand and get into a new mode and new level of thinking.   And then he compounded that with talking about time. And you can either make the goal way bigger to the point where it becomes impossible. And so you have to start finding new ways of thinking. Or you can shift the timeline to take your goals, like a lot of property managers say, I want to add 100 doors in a year. That's a crappy goal. I mean, it's a realistic goal. It's a decent goal. And we help lots of clients do that. But that's not a really exciting, inspiring goal.   But what if you shift the timeline to 90 days? That sounds impossible at first, like 100 doors in 90 days. And I shared this with some clients just before this call. I was on a call with some clients and suggested that some of them were like my goals 100 doors. But now based on what Jason's saying, I'm going to make it a 90 day goal. And then they start thinking of ideas. They start thinking like, what if I just found four real estate agents that have 25 units? They're tired of managing.   I could hit a hundred doors. What if I found one small acquisition deal? What if I found an investor? One of our clients on the call says he has an investor right now that's going to has like 120 units that he's going to onboard another investor with 40 units. And he's just like growing rapidly. Now he's fast on his way to being at a thousand units. It's going to happen. And so his goal is to get the 3000. He's now making a bigger goal. Yeah. Yeah. So   So you need to have something that's going to stretch you out of your current comfort zone and your current level of thinking. you know, but some of the people on the call were like, well, if I shoot for this goal in 90 days and I don't hit it, I said, well, what if you only got 50 in 90 days? Would you beat yourself up and feel horrible? They laughed and they're like, no. I said, what if you got 25 units in 90 days? Would you beat yourself up and feel horrible? They said, no, of course not. Because their goal was a hundred in a year originally.   So it's just having a better tool to give you a better path. And the current path that you're on towards a goal that you have, it's not the same path. It has to be a completely different path. It's like trying to fly to Hawaii versus New York. It's a completely different path to get to a much better destination. It's a totally different path. You cannot just 10 times the amount of phone calls that you're gonna make or 10 times the amount of hustle   they're going to do to hit this goal in 90 days or to hit your five year goal in a year or to, do something 10 X bigger or a hundred times bigger. You have to find a different path. And so when you get your brain working on that, you will start to find different paths. You will start to connect with others that may be able to put you on a different path and at DoorGrow, That's one of the things we do for clients is we help them have a bigger vision and we help give them, one of those who's he talks about.   Finding a who not a how and new who's can give you new paths and this is what we do We give clients a new path to get to these goals that they weren't able to think of before So that's my two cents on it. So I Think that's pretty good and then also when when the book comes out because you can't get it yet We were lucky enough to to preview it. Yeah, so when the book comes out   Definitely make sure that you read it. It is so fantastic. I don't even have enough good things to say about it. And Dr. Benjamin Hardy he's phenomenal. And all of his stuff is really good, but he pursues excellence in everything that he does. He doesn't want to just write a book and publish a book. He wants it to be a masterpiece, like an absolute work of art.   that really comes across in his work and hearing him speak. And it was great that we got to be a part of that, Do you remember him talking about the floor? Could you touch on the idea of the floor and how setting a big goal changes the floor? Yeah, absolutely. And I think that's something that you and I have both been really questioning. when he talks about what is your floor?   So this is kind of like the minimum that you will allow. What are the lowest level things that you will do? And when you have a goal, like let's just say it is 100 doors in a full year, does that mean that you need to do anything today?   No. No. No, because you have 364 other days. Does that mean on the weekend you have to work? No. No, not really. Does that mean that you have to give up certain things? Not really, because I can probably figure it out. But if you now have a goal of 100 doors in, let's say, 30 days, do you have to do something today? Probably. Absolutely. On the weekend? Absolutely.   Do you have to sacrifice certain things? Absolutely. No, is it forever? No. And the things that we need to be able to give up are the things that are now below the floor. And all that essentially means is anything that is, I would call it a distraction, anything that is not in alignment with this big, huge goal that you're working on, that now falls below the floor. So you should not...   be doing that. So if you say, hey, I want 100 doors, I'm gonna go do in 30 days. Does that mean for the next 30 days, you're gonna be watching any amount of Netflix? Probably not. no, it doesn't. Now forever and ever, Netflix is not gone, it's just gone while you're trying to hit this crazy goal that you've got. And what if your goal isn't even 100 doors in 30 days? What if it's a thousand doors in 30 days?   There are certain things you are not going to be able to focus on at all. There are certain things that you will not be able to fit into your schedule. There are certain things that you will go, wow, if it's at all possible for me to hit this goal, I can't do this thing. I'm going to have to give it up. And that might be   Cooking, might be cleaning, doing your laundry, washing your car, driving your kids to school, spending time with your family for a small short period of time. It might be answering phone calls, talking to tenants, writing leases, doing showings, doing accounting, if that's not your thing, right? It could be so many different things. Because any of those things that I just mentioned, is that going to get you a thousand doors in 30 days? No.   It sure isn't. So all of those things now, they either become something that gets in your way or something that is a distraction, something that is an obstacle for you to be able to hit this huge goal. It doesn't mean you have to give it up forever, but it does mean that it's now not high enough of a priority for you to continue to do it. And we talk about this a lot on time studies.   when we have our clients do time studies, we talk about it through a very different lens. So this is a really great lens to kind of talk about the same topic. But when I look at someone's time study, I always ask them, why are you doing that? Why are you the one who's doing that? Somebody should be doing that. You should offload this. Why is this still on your to-do list? Why are you the one who's doing this again? And it's always the same thing, oh, because I feel like I have to. But when you have this huge goal, the thing that you   feel like you have to do is hit the goal, not all of this other stuff. Yeah. Well, raise the, when you raise the goal up to a much bigger goal, your floor automatically raises. There's always going to be stuff you finally stop tolerating because you have this big vision. It's exciting. It's inspiring. It's something you actually want and you're motivated to do it. And so you have to change your level of thinking, which also means you have to give up stuff that you've been holding onto.   because you didn't really have a good enough excuse to get rid of it anyway, but there's stuff that you have to do. Like I can no longer be taking sales calls from people that no show. So I have my team members canceling a large percentage of my calls. Like we started making a ton of changes and it took me, I was like, I sat with the question, like we closed, I think, what? 13 deals in the last month. think 13 or 14. 14, I don't know. Yeah. And I'm like, how can I do 100? How can I 10X this?   If we're doing on average, maybe 10 or something. How can I do a hundred? And I was like, that's impossible. But I sat with it for like a week, week and a half. And then all of a I had all these ideas. I would have to stop doing this. I would have to stop taking calls like this. I would have to stop doing that. What if every person that showed up to the call, I could have a single call close because they already had clarity on their problem. They already were trained on what they need. They already went over our offer. And so I'm now building that out. And it was like, it's a completely different path.   than what I was on, which was like to 10 X our business wasn't a big enough goal. And now I'm trying to like 10 X it in a month, which would hundred X our business. Right. And so I had to come up with a completely different path. And what's surprising to me is a lot of the ideas were already in my head. They were things I had seen videos I had seen, but my brain was not able to put them together to help me achieve a goal because my goal was so weak that it   was all very realistic and doable. just needed to get more salespeople and get more setters and like do more lead generation. And I don't have to change anything on the front end. I can just change our internal processes. And I think we could 10 X the business. And so I started seeing a different path and my brain started pulling out different ideas that I'd heard of in the past and piecing them together. And I came up with a whole new set of ideas.   And it was just based on it was stuff that was already in my brain, but it wasn't at my current level of thinking was above my current level of thinking. So I raised my goal and it raised my level of thinking so I could tap into all this other stuff I had in my head. And it also raised the floor. So there's a lot of things I'm cutting out. I am not going to have people no show. I'm canceling people if they don't confirm their appointment. My team are canceling them. And so then they can warm and nurture these people up. But I'm going to be talking to people that are committed, ready to show up.   and are already qualified and already know what they need to do. And I have a team that's facilitating that. And so like we've made some big moves, big changes, and I'm excited. So now I'm building out all this stuff and building out different things and building out a completely different path. And we've had clients go from 100 to 1000 doors. We had a client do that in one year because he found a different path because his path to get to 100 was not the same path he could do to get to 1000 in a year.   He couldn't follow the same path, so he had to come up with something else. And what's surprising is the path for him to get to a thousand was way easier than what it took him to get to a hundred. And that's the idea of 10 X is easier than two X. The path I'm setting up for our sales system is easier than me grinding through a hundred sales calls in a month. It's going to be way easier. And I can even spend less time on these calls because they're coming more prepared. And so when you have big goals, you have big thinking.   you find way better paths, which is the idea. So use either the goal as a tool, make that goal much bigger, or collapse time and use time as a tool and you will actually speed up time and it actually gets easier to reach the goal. That's the idea. So we're super pumped, I'm super pumped. I'm like really pumped about the business right now. Like I'm really excited.   and then I'm really excited because our clients are getting this tech mentally. I'm already training and coaching them on setting up these goals and helping them understand time and goals as a tool. And so they are going to be the most innovative property managers in the industry. That's going to be our group. And so they're going to come up with the best ideas. And so you want to be part of this mastermind. It's going to be the freaking best thing on the planet for property manager. I'm super pumped because nobody else has big crazy goals like our clients.   Like they've already had big goals that outpace anyone else in their markets. Now they're getting ridiculous and unreasonable and impossible and they're going to find solutions to this. And I'm excited to see what they innovate and share it with everybody else. So stay tuned y'all DoorGrow's about to get crazy. So, all right. that's basically it. Let's wrap up. All right.

It's Thursday, July 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark United Kingdom urging 10 countries to give religious freedom The United Kingdom is urging 10 countries in the world to protect religious freedom.  British Member of Parliament David Smith announced the plan earlier this month as the U.K.'s new Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief. Smith highlighted the persecution of Christians around the world in his briefing. His plan will promote religious freedom in countries where the need is greatest, including Afghanistan, Algeria, China, India, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Syria, Ukraine, and Vietnam. Listen to comments Smith made on his X account. SMITH: “So today, I was at the Foreign Office launching the freedom of religion or belief strategy -- a strategy that as U.K. Special Envoy, I've been working on for the last six months. “That strategy is going to help us work with civil society organizations, with the U.K. posts all around the world, to focus in on the places that we can make the most difference to make sure that people can have freedom of religion or belief and not be persecuted for what they believe.” At the end of his briefing, Smith quoted Proverbs 31:8-9 which says, “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly: defend the rights of the poor and needy.” U.S. to incinerate $10 million worth of contraceptives Reuters reports the United States is planning to incinerate nearly $10 million worth of contraceptives. The stockpile includes contraceptive implants and pills that have been stored in Belgium ever since President Donald Trump put a freeze on U.S. foreign aid. The U.S. turned down offers from the United Nations and other organizations to buy the contraceptives.  Instead, the U.S. is having them shipped to a facility in France that handles medical waste. This is in keeping with the Mexico City policy that Trump reinstated in January. The policy blocks U.S. funding to foreign groups that promote abortion. Trump cuts funding for transsexual drugs and surgeries for minors National Review reports the Trump administration is cutting federal funding for “sex trait modifications to minors.” The Department of Health and Human Service is working on a new rule to protect children from transsexual drugs and surgeries. Hospitals that harm children this way would not be allowed to participate in Medicare or Medicaid.  An administration official told National Review, “We are actively combing through all federal grants that go to the hospitals that still provide these procedures … to kids, and sorting through what funding could be cut.” Previously-owned homes sales down A report from the National Association of Realtors found the sale of previously owned homes fell 2.7% last month. Meanwhile, the median existing-home sales price is up 2% at $435,300 -- the highest ever.  Mortgage rates are also high with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage coming in at 6.75%. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors, said, “Multiple years of undersupply are driving the record high home price. Home construction continues to lag population growth. This is holding back first-time home buyers from entering the market.” 25% of Gen Z workers regret college One out of four Gen Z workers regrets going to college, according to a report from Resume Genius. Survey respondents were born between 1997 and 2012. Seventy-three percent of Gen Z employees said they earned a degree. Of those, 21% said they work in a different field than their degree, and 19% said their degree didn't contribute to their career at all. Gen Z workers who studied science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or health professions were the most likely to say their degree contributed to their career.  If they could change their education path, 13% of Gen Z workers said they would learn a skilled trade or pursue a career that doesn't require a degree, and 10% would focus on entrepreneurship or self-employment.  More young men coming to church And finally, the American Bible Society released results from a flash poll it conducted last week.  Over 120 churches around the country responded to the survey. The poll found that 54% of churches are seeing more interest in the Bible among young adults. And 58% said they are seeing more men coming to church.  The survey noted, “Churches are seeing more men of all ages, but especially young, walking through their doors. And those who already attended are getting more invested in their faith and involved in their church.” In Titus 2:1, 2, 6, the Apostle Paul wrote, “But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience. … Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, July 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

It's Wednesday, July 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Muslims kill Syrian pastor and 20 members of family Syrian Muslims took the life of a pastor and 20 members of his family over the weekend. Khalid Mezher was the pastor of the Good Shepherd Evangelical Church in southern Syria. He and his family converted to Christianity years ago out of a religious group in the area known as the Druze.  Violence between Druze militias and fighters from the Bedouin tribes, which are mostly Muslim, has taken the lives of hundreds of people over the last week.  Evangelical leader Johnnie Moore wrote on X, “Pastor Khalid died for a faith that many Christians hardly live. They are now martyrs who gave their entire lives, in difficult circumstances, to share the love of Jesus with their neighbors and beloved Syria.” In Matthew 16:25, Jesus said, “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Puerto Rico protects kids from transsexual drugs and surgeries Puerto Rico is protecting children from transsexual drugs and surgeries. Last Wednesday, Republican Governor Jenniffer González Colón signed the Law for the Protection of the Health and Well-being of Minors in Puerto Rico. Harming children with such transsexual procedures is punishable by 15 years in prison.   Puerto Rico joins nearly 30 states in America with similar bans. Japan to invest $550 billion into America President Donald Trump secured a great deal with Japan, reports The Epoch Times. On Truth Social, President Trump announced, “We just completed a massive deal with Japan, perhaps the largest deal ever made. Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 billion into the United States, which will receive 90% of the profits. “This deal will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. There has never been anything like it. Perhaps most importantly, Japan will open their country to trade including cars and trucks, rice and certain other agricultural products. … Japan will pay reciprocal tariffs to the United States of 15%.” CBS/Skydance to pay Trump Foundation $36 million President Trump recently reached a $16 million settlement with Paramount, the parent of CBS News, over what he claimed was misleading editing of a pre-election interview with the Democratic candidate for president, Kamala Harris, reports The Guardian. While CBS initially called the lawsuit “completely without merit”, Paramount is in the midst of an $8 billion sale to the Hollywood studio Skydance Media, which requires the approval of federal regulators. President Trump has claimed that the future owner of CBS will provide him with $20 million worth of advertising and programming – days after the network canceled The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our historic lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount. … CBS and its corporate owners knew that they defrauded the American people, and were desperate to settle. Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes have today paid $16 Million in settlement, and we also anticipate receiving $20 million more from the new owners, in advertising, PSAs, or similar programming, for a total of over $36 million dollars.” He added, “This is another in a long line of VICTORIES over the Fake News Media, who we are holding to account for their widespread fraud and deceit. The Wall Street Journal, The Failing New York Times, The Washington Post, MSDNC, CNN, and all other Mainstream Media Liars, are ON NOTICE that the days of them being allowed to deceive the American people are OVER.” Federal workforce shrunk by 22,000 people A report by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond found the U.S. federal workforce has shrunk by over 22,000 people from January to May of this year. Chuck Ezell, the Acting Director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, said, “The American people deserve a government that is lean, efficient, and focused on core priorities. This data marks the first measurable step toward President Trumpʼs vision of a disciplined, accountable federal workforce and itʼs only the beginning.” Trump has also extended his hiring freeze on federal workers through October. Foreign buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. homes The National Association of Realtors reports that foreign buyers purchased $56 billion worth of U.S. homes from April 2024 through March 2025. The number of home purchases by foreign buyers rose to over 78,000 this year. That's up from last year's report, but still down from 284,000 purchases in 2017.  The top destination states for foreign buyers include Florida, California, Texas, and New York. The most popular origin countries of international buyers are China, Canada, Mexico, India, and the United Kingdom. China's share of buyers has gone up significantly since 2007. Star from The Cosby Show drowned Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who portrayed the teenage son Theo Huxtable on “The Cosby Show”, died at 54 in an accidental drowning in Costa Rica, reports the Associated Press. Costa Rica's Judicial Investigation Department said Warner drowned Sunday afternoon, July 20th on a beach on Costa Rica's Limón province when a current pulled him deeper into the ocean. His character, Theo, was the only son among four daughters in the household of Cosby's Cliff Huxtable and Phylicia Rashad's Clair Huxtable on the NBC sitcom. He was one of the prime representations of American teenage life and Black boyhood on a show that was the most popular in America for much of its run from 1984 to 1992. Christian golfer says priorities are faith, family, then golf And finally, Scottie Scheffler won the Open Championship earlier this week. Also known as the British Open, it's the oldest golf tournament in the world.  The American professional golfer has won 20 times worldwide since 2022. After his latest victory, Scheffler told reporters he enjoys golf but that faith and family are his greatest priorities.  SCHEFFLER: “I would say my greatest priorities are my faith and my family. Those come first for me. Golf is third in that I've said it for a long time. Golf is not how I identify myself. I don't identify myself by winning tournaments, chasing trophies, being famous or whatever it is. “This week, I was the best player in the world. I'm sitting here with the trophy. We're gonna start all over in Memphis, back to even par. Show goes on. I don't feel any different because I've won a golf tournament. This is not the ‘be all end all' for me, but I'm extremely grateful for it. “I don't think that I'm anything special, just because some weeks, I'm better at shooting a lower score than other guys are.” Scheffler's love for family inspired a Nike ad that celebrates fatherhood. The footwear company posted a picture of Scheffler on the golf course with his infant son. Nike wrote, “Priorities unchanged. Another major secured. The wins keep coming on and off the course for Scottie Scheffler.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, July 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.
