OK, so we were up way too late last night.   And it wasn't for any really exciting reason. It was because of dogs. So. Do you want to tell the story? Yeah, sure. So you start last night, we were about to settle down and we were going to watch something on Netflix and my dog, my biggest dog, Parker, he is he's our pit bull. Well, he's our pure red pit bull. And he's kind of scratching and pawing at the couch.   telling Jason he wants something. So Jason goes over, pulls it out. And we have these, they're water buffalo horns. Natural, like real water buffalo horns that they chew on. And there was a, how big was it? Like this big? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe like two by three inches kind of a thing. So little last piece of it and Parker wanted it. I got up.   Went to the bathroom. I come out. It's in pieces on the floor. So I did not want him to eat that. So I said, no, no, no, give me that. And he did not want to give it to me. So I took the remaining pieces off of the floor and I figured I would bribe him with a treat. I was pretty sure he swallowed. And at least some of it was kind of dark. Yeah. So pretty sure he swallowed some of it.   And I went, okay, I don't wanna play this game. I've played this game several times. It's not fun. I'm just gonna induce vomiting and then we'll get it out of him and we'll go on with our night. So we do this mixture of hydrogen peroxide and I some vanilla ice cream.   No vomit. So I did another batch of that. No vomit. I did a third batch of that. No vomit. And now I'm starting to panic because it's been about what? 15 minutes at that point. Maybe 20. Maybe 20. And I'm going, I'm panicking. I'm going, I have never given a dog hydrogen peroxide and they didn't vomit. I don't understand what to do. So he had looked up online and he said, okay, well.   Walking I guess will help stimulate that so I went okay. So we walked him down to the end of the block. We came back. No vomit we got into the house as soon as we got into the house, then he vomited twice And some of the pieces had come out, but I was quite large. Yeah. Yeah, I know I don't think they would have passed through a system. So it was a good thing that we did that. Yeah, I know so then I I felt like what if there's more in there because I just don't I don't know   And I get, I get really nervous about that. So we were thinking that most of it kind of came out. I thought maybe there was a little bit left, but wasn't quite sure. Didn't want to induce vomiting again, especially after that much time had passed. It's, it's, it's not going to be good at that point. So we were sitting on the couch. We were kind of keeping an eye on him. He was drinking some water, but then he started kind of drooling.   and that's not a good sign, I went, okay, we're going to the vet. So we went to the emergency room vet. We got there around 11 o'clock.   Okay. Thinking they would get him right in because it's an emergency. Yeah. And they just had a crazy night at this place. Such a sad night for them. So we got there. We drove my Chevy Tahoe, not my cyber truck. Yeah. Because that's the vehicle we usually drive if we're putting the dogs in it, because, know, who knows, maybe the dogs scratch stuff or puke or whatever. So we drove the Tahoe and   We get there and they wouldn't see us. And there's kind of a timeline in Sarah's mind. Well, no, you look it It says pretty much about two hours from when it goes to the stomach into, I think it's called the pyloric valve. You can quote me on that. But then it goes into the intestine. If it goes into the intestine, we're F'd because it's not going to pass through the intestine. I can tell you that for sure.   And once it's in there, you can't get it. It's not like it can regurgitate back out into the stomach. It's in there, it's done. So now your option is surgery or death. Ask me how I know. Been there, done that. Yeah, you had a dog have this issue. Two dogs. Two. Two dogs eating things they shouldn't eat. Yeah. So I'm trying to make sure we can get, if there is something in there, I just want to check and see. Don't even know. Maybe there's something in there. Maybe there's not.   But if there's something in there, I want to get it before it gets into the intestine Yeah, so by the time we got there it already been at least what an hour and a half Yeah Since the original incident so we don't know if there's still something in him and we get there and then we're sitting in the waiting room and there's a Lot of stuff happening. I guess there's just a lot of people ahead of us to have some serious Issues with their pets and so we're waiting   Eventually I go up and you were freaking out. You're like, we're nearing the deadline. I'm counting down. I'm going, okay, we have 20 minutes left. So I go up and I just say, is there any way we can rush this along or is there another place we can go? And she hands me a sheet. Here's some other hospitals in the area. This one's 20 minutes away. It's good. This one's 30 minutes away. It's good. And I was like, my gosh, it's another 20 and 30 minutes. That puts us past the two hour mark. So I...   Explain this to you brought you the sheet like and you said we might as well just yeah go home So I said well at that point if they cannot get us in here and then we have to go somewhere else either way We're gonna miss the two-hour deadline. So at that point now, it's a gamble Okay, so if it's moving on to his intestine now, we just go okay We keep an eye on him and he's gonna be fine or we keep an eye on him and we come right back here when we need to so   We talked about it, we thought about it, and then we said, okay, let's just head home because if there's nothing they can do at this point, like we missed the window. So let's just head home. Okay. So the story gets kind of interesting from here. So we go out to the car, we get Parker in and I push the button to start the Tahoe and it sort of turns over, but it doesn't start. So the battery must be low.   like never has happened ever with this vehicle. And so we were stuck. We were stuck. Okay. Could not. Yeah. Couldn't start the vehicle. So forced to stay there, which actually back for jumper cables. Right. I'm digging around, figuring out where I'd hide, hit my jumper cables in this vehicle. He was pissed. He like hit the steering wheel.   Okay, apparently I got violent with the the Tahoe. He was mad. So get it. It was like 11 45 at night. I understand. Okay, so the story gets even more interesting. Well at this point. Well wait. So at this point I had said to Jason I said wait. my god. What if This is god telling us You are supposed to be here like you are exactly where you are supposed to be I thought maybe because this is weird. This is weird All right, so we're tell you the conclusion of this because it does seem like   some little bit of magic happened. So maybe God really did want to stay.

Back to the story. All right. So, so then I'm, find the jumper cables and I'm like, cool. I guess I was   and I was like, I don't even know if I have jumper cables, but I do. I had that planned. So from the beginning, I guess a long time ago, I had stashed them in a panel in the backside of the vehicle that had to pop off in plastic. And then I found them. All right, so I had the bag, I had the jumper cables, and then I'm like, I need to find somebody. And like, there's a bunch of cars, but only one was running and there was only one person outside, so I went up to it. I could tell they were pretty upset.   Like I'd seen them walking around. It's two ladies. Turns out one is the friend of the other and had driven her there in her car. And so I went up to the window and I was like, know, I'll let my jumper cables. She rolled down her window and said, hey, could you help us jump our car? Our car won't start. I could really use some help. And I'm thinking.   she's probably thinking I'm some weird creep or gonna do something or I don't know, like in middle of the night, like it's really, it's late and like, you know, but she was like, she said, yeah, I'd be, I'd be happy to help. My dog just died. And then this lady's coming out that works at this center and she's holding a little paper and she said, this lady is bringing me the prints that they took of my dog's paws.   right now. And I was like, my gosh, I am so sorry. Like this is like one of the most awful things ever. And I didn't, I didn't even know what I could say other than I'm so sorry. And she said, but she was willing to help out. So she drove her car over and next to ours and I hooked up the cables and tried getting this thing started. And it like, I think I charged it. Initially, I thought let's do it for like five minutes, then try it.   Then we waited, didn't work, waited another five, 10 minutes, tried again, still didn't work. Somewhere in the middle of trying all this, the same lady comes out and she's like holding her iPad and she's like, are you guys here for Parker? Are you still wanting to be seen? And I was like, well, I guess. And I said, do you want to? It's already been past that time. And Sarah was like, yeah, we might as well.   Yeah, so I explained to her the issue and she said well It might not hurt to have them looked at and she said it's not a hard and fast two-hour rule sometimes it's closer to two to four so you might still have some time and You know, do you want us to at least check him out and you know? Do an exam like, know, we can kind of feel around in the stomach. Maybe do an ultrasound or an x-ray I said, okay, let's get him in so I went brought Parker in and Jason stayed outside   Trying to jump the car. So this lady said, you know, I told her, you know, I could when I had got offered like asked for help, I had said, well, only, you know, I could give you a hug, you know, was the thing I could offer because she was so sad and I didn't know what to do. And she then told me I started talking with her. She told me that she was she just opened up.   I think she could tell I was probably a safe person to talk to. She just opened up and said, hey, I'm just really debating right now whether I should go see her, go see my dead dog. Like whether I should go see her, because I didn't see her. Like she went in and she passed away and I didn't see her. so I could tell, you know, if she's asking the question, there's probably, it's probably, yeah, you probably should. And I said, well,   I just was thinking, what does she think around and, you know, trying to be empathetic. And I was like, she's, why would she not want to? Well, I was like, are you concerned that if you go see your dog, that that's the image you'll have of her forever? And she said, yeah. And she starts crying. She said, yes. I said, you have a lifetime of experiences with this dog to remember, you know, with her to remember her by.   This will not be the defining thing, but I think if you don't go and get full closure on this and you know, there's going to be an emotional thing that just doesn't happen. You know, you need, you need to get that closure and that would be my, my guess, but this is for you to decide. And, I guess based on that conversation, she decided to go, to go, to go do it. So she.   like I'm gonna go do it and so she goes get in my car still her car still running I'm still trying to charge my car figure out well now I guess I'll just let it run for a while and I let it run for a good another 10 15 another 15 minutes at a timer still wouldn't start car just would not start it wouldn't turn over   So she goes in and then eventually she comes back out and she's like, they're making me wait. I think they're trying to get her presentable for me. And I said, well, it's probably a good thing. You know, but she's like, but now I am like, I'm thinking all about it and I'm stressed. And I have to wait. was hoping I'd just walk in and see her and be done with it. And I was like, yeah, I get that. And I guess you were inside with Parker and you had eventually she was.   came out and they were like, you can go in. She, she went in to go, go see, but I had asked her, like, do you mind me asking what happened? She said, my dog was in a car accident. A car hit my dog, not a car accident. My dog hit like I hit by the car and cause she gets out and thinks it's super fun to get out and had gotten out and she was feeling really guilty. Like it was her fault. And so she went in, I guess, to go see the dog and I was outside with the cars, but you had kind of, you were inside.   to share? Yeah well I was inside with Parker just kind of waiting so at this point they had already come and checked a few things preliminarily and then they were sending the doctor in and I think everybody in the building could hear that poor woman she was just absolutely crushed and heartbroken and just wailing and crying and I am not   one to cry and I'm sitting there I've got like tears coming down my face I'm going god this poor woman just because I've been there and I know what that feels like. So then the doctor ends up coming in and she's kind of checking him out and asking me some questions and the fact that it was a water buffalo horn was really confusing for everyone because it's not very common. So she's kind of feeling around on his stomach and she goes he has a full bladder.   She said, he might need a potty break. And she said, OK, and then I'm just going to check a couple things here, and then we're going to take him in the back. We'll do an ultrasound. I said, OK. So as she's doing her heart check on him, she said, hey, did anyone ever tell you that he has a heart murmur? And I said, no. And she said, OK, well, it's not anything serious right now. It's really not bad. But it is something to keep an eye on because.   it could be associated with something like heart disease or a heart failure. So there might be some underlying heart condition. It's you might want to talk to a cardiologist and just kind of have them check it out. I said, okay. So then she took Parker back and I was waiting for them to come back. She comes back at some point with him and she says, well, she said, okay, so here's what I think about the bone. I'm still going to stand by my original statement.   I would not recommend inducing vomiting again. You already did that. Some of the bones came out. She said, if there's anything else in there, I would not recommend inducing vomiting again. Sometimes if you do induce vomiting, then something might get stuck in the esophagus. It might scratch or tear the esophagus. Now you have a critical problem. So she said, I think you already did that. Don't worry about it. I would not do it again. I would not recommend us doing it again. She said, if it's a bone,   Their stomachs are just meant to digest that. Don't give him any sort of anti acid. Just let his stomach do its thing. And at some point it'll disintegrate and it'll pass normally. So I said, okay. And she said, I do however have some bad news. And I said, well, what is it? And she said, well, do you know when I was feeling him and I said, his bladder seems full. Well, that was not his bladder.   And she said, so he has a large mass located right behind his bladder. And she showed me the ultrasound image of it. And it's larger than a grapefruit right now. So it's pretty big. And she doesn't know what it is. She's not sure, you know, is it liquid? Is it some sort of cyst? Is it some sort of like tumor? We don't really know what it is.   She sent me a referral so that I can go and have them do an ultrasound and then have them kind of take a look at it. They of course recommended biopsy, which I'm not going to do. But she said, yeah, I would definitely have this checked out. And she said, I am so, so, so sorry to have to tell you this. But the way she was breaking it to me was almost like she was treating me like the woman who, yeah, who like, whose dog just passed away.   And I'm thinking, okay. So from her point of view, I understand why she was kind of reacting that way. I do understand why she thought I would react that way. But I think the way I feel about it is I don't think we're gonna go the typical normal route of let's go and have somebody poke it and rupture it and then.   release whatever it is out into his body to just float around and that'll kill him in like a year. And in the meantime, we're going to do all kinds of medication and cancer treatments and radiation and chemotherapy and all of the things that then will also kill you. We're not doing any of those things. But yeah, the point is she felt like it was really, really bad news and you felt like you're going to figure out a solution. Well, I felt like it was just a good thing that that was found.   We know because we wouldn't have known otherwise. How would I have ever known that? He's perfectly healthy. There's no it's not like, you know, there's any kind of warning signs. The one thing is he did lose some weight. So at some point that might have been a concern for me. Like, hey, I'm trying to get him to gain weight and he doesn't seem like he's gaining weight. Maybe something would have shown up on blood on a blood test at some point. But I just don't know that they would have.   Maybe eventually they would have found that. Yeah. But I just don't think like right off the bat, they would have found it. But it would have gone on a lot longer if there was an issue. So and we don't know what the issue is fully yet. That's still to be determined. however, yeah, that that that gal came out after viewing her dog. She was just I could tell a mess. So I I couldn't get the car to start. Didn't matter how long I was charging it. So I said.   Let me just unhook this and you just go, go do what you gotta do, go home and close their thing, their hood and let her leave. So there I am with this dead car. I don't know what's going on with Parker and you're in there and I'm so frustrated thinking, do I need to like get an Uber home, go get my cyber truck to come here and try and jump this car or try and get, like, am I gonna need to roadside assistance? So I'm trying to figure out how to get roadside assistance from our insurance and.   It's just, I'm trying to figure it out. And then eventually some other couple came out and they were like, I chatted with them a bit and they're like, yeah, we're here for another hour at least. Our dog's in surgery. It had gotten sliced open through its whole side somehow and they have no idea how it happened. And I'm like, that's crazy. They're like, yeah. And so I chatted with them for a bit and I said, well, could you help me jump my vehicle? And they had a, they had a,   Ford that was kind of similar in size to my Chevy and I thought maybe this one will have a little more juice somehow I don't know alternators only are adding a lecture, you know To on the on the meter there, you know to charge the battery, but I turned off all the everything I went away from it. So nothing was turning on we Charged it up. I tried starting once it didn't take but it sort of did something so I just left it charging a bit longer I said a longer timer   You eventually came out, but right before you came out, I tried, I was almost ready to submit the form to get roadside assistance to have them come out for the battery. And it was that or towing. Those are your two options. It's like, did you already try to jump it? If you did, they would only send towing. So I had to say no, like come out and help me jump it. And so I asked him if he could help me try one more time and.   He was really nice guy and they were stuck there for a while. So we just charged it for like 15, 20 minutes. And then you came out right after I had tested it and it started. And so now the car was ready. It was ready to go. And I'd already tried for like 20 minutes plus of charging before, maybe a half hour, trying to get this thing to work. Couldn't get it to start. And now it started. What's weird is that the car was having more issues than   like with the second thing, like things weren't turning on the second vehicle I was charging it off of than the first. So I was really surprised, but it just started. And then you came out and the car was ready. And so I really kind of feel like maybe you were right. Maybe God was like, you need to be kind of a little angel to this lady that is struggling. I gave her a hug, like I chatted with her a bit, told her she should go see her dog.   She was able to have some big sounds like cathartic sort of release in there. And which, you know, that would have been just stuck inside her, you know, and there always would have been this question of doubt, like what, what, you know, she wouldn't have gotten maybe that closure. And then we never would have found out if there was an issue with Parker, if we hadn't, if the car had worked, we just would have went home. We never would have known that he had a couple of health issues as one of which might be really serious. And we would have just never known and never.   dealt with it probably as effectively as we're able to now. So God works in mysterious ways, I guess. so moral of story is what? Our plan for the evening was we were gonna sit down and watch a show on Netflix. That was what we were gonna do. were gonna do that. Little cuddling, little Netflix and watching. had in mind for us. He's like, no, no, we need you at the Central Texas Emergency Veterinary Clinic.   Their name is so long. I don't know but yeah, no, no, we need you to be right here. So I'm gonna just make things happen to get you there and it's so funny because we we had decided to leave Yeah, we were done. I was like, okay. Well, there's no point in sitting here. I Don't want to sit here for two hours To find out if we have a problem where if we have a problem, we'll just come back   but I don't need to be here in the meantime. So let's just go. And if he has a problem, we will come back. And if he's fine, then great, we'll at least be home. And then the card ends, sorry. So I think what you plan for is not always what you get, but I think what you get is exactly what you need. And sometimes, know, plans may change. Our original plan, the thing that we want doesn't happen, but.   Sometimes there's a better outcome. finding out, is it worth losing a little sleep to find out that a dog that we really love and care about has maybe a potentially serious health issue that we can now nip in the bud and take care of early on? Absolutely. There's no other scenario in which we would have just gone and gotten this checked or that they would have been feeling this pit bull's body to find this out.   It was only because he had eaten that crazy bone that we were and Sarah was nervous enough about it that we went and got got him there and it like it was this whole cascade of magical events to make sure that this happened and so yeah, so it's really mind-blowing how everything kind of can work out and Yeah, the car drove home just fine. I probably was startup fine right now. I don't know. I probably should charge the battery a little bit more but   Yeah, but everything in the end worked out. We're a little tired. But and I think this is a good lesson and we wanted to share because this is real for us is what happened. And you you care about pets like family. You know, a lot of times it's not the business stuff that derails us. It's everything else outside of business. That's one lesson you can take away from it. Like, you know, making sure that your family's good, including pets are taken care of, getting those things checked out.   And then also just trusting that, you know, there's there's I believe and trust that there's a higher power that's watching out for you that has a plan. And if nothing else, it could just be those of you that aren't into that. It could be that you are intuitive enough and magical enough and a creator enough that based on quantum physics or whatever you're into that, you know, things get taken care of and positive outcomes come if you believe in.   in that sort of thing. so I think that's the thing is, you know, In business, things are always changing. Things might derail us, but that doesn't mean that it's going to has to be a worse outcome just because it didn't go the way that you wanted.   That's my two cents. You have anything, to add?   Okay, I'm tired. Can we go? We're gonna we're gonna wrap this up and go take it easy. I'm maybe gonna go take a nap. Yeah. When did we go to bed? Like take a nap. o'clock. Yeah. Take a nap right here. He's gonna nap right here. All right. So hopefully this was beneficial to see a little bit of flavor of our life. I don't know. It's not super property management oriented today, but   If you have ever felt stagnant or stuck in your business or you just don't feel like you're growing big enough, my guess is you don't have big enough goals.

What happens when life gives you a second chance? Clarence Vaughn's story is nothing short of extraordinary—a powerful testament to how faith, community support, and personal determination can transform even the most challenging beginnings into a life of purpose and service.  Expelled from high school after missing 86% of the school year with a shocking 0.7 GPA, Clarence could have become another statistic. Instead, he is now serving as Director for the Office of Access and Community Connections at the University of Tennessee's Haslam College of Business, Clarence has come full circle. He creates opportunities for young people just like his former self, including pre-collegiate summer programs that bring high school students to campus. His leadership philosophy is refreshingly grounded: "Small wins outweigh large victories," he advises, cautioning against the desire to leap from entry-level to CEO without experiencing the crucial steps between.If you are looking for a Realtor, don't forget to call The Landes Team to help you buy and sell! Yvonnca LandesRealty Executives Associates865.660.1186 or 588.3232 www.YvonncaSellsRealEstate.com Adrienne Landes Realty Executives Associates 865.659-6860 or 588.3232 Click here: https://linktr.ee/talkintnwithyvonnca Turning Knox Rental (Event Rental Services): www.turningknoxrental.com Landes Home Collection Online Store: www.landeshomecollection.com For promotion inquires please contact Yvonnca Landes. 865-660-1186 All Copy Rights are owned Yvonnca Landes and the Landes Brand ©.

But it wasn't always that way. From the early “ego-driven” posts to now producing value-first content that earns trust before the first phone call, Brenna takes us through the full content journey—wins, struggles, and everything in between.Expect candid insights into staying consistent when business gets busy, why the algorithm rewards authenticity, how they balance entertaining and educational content, and why sometimes the best-performing videos are the ones outside your comfort zone. Brenna also shares how they're leveraging their powerful network of attorneys, fiduciaries, and financial planners to deliver content that reaches their ideal $2M–$3M client avatar—without chasing vanity metrics.This isn't another fluffy “just post more” conversation.

Smart homes, AI and even 3D-printed houses are no longer futuristic ideas—they're here and reshaping real estate. This week on Real Estate Today, we explore how technology is changing the way homes are built, bought and sold. From the smart home features buyers want most to the upgrades that can raise—or lower—a property's value, we cover what every homeowner and buyer should know. Plus, we take a closer look at privacy concerns, asking whether sellers can spy on buyers through security cameras and smart devices. Guests include Brandon Doyle, a REALTOR® from Minnesota with the Doyle Real Estate Team; Dalton Brewer, a Kansas City real estate broker with Coldwell Banker, co-founder of CD Technologies and inventor of SetWave; and Gene Eidelman, 2025 iOi Innovator Award winner. And in our Hot or Not segment, we explore whether mobile apps for designing your home are in and if the classic light switch is fading out.

When most agents think about increasing their online lead conversions, they picture tech: CRMs, ISAs, AI automations, and endless drip campaigns.  But the uncomfortable truth is, none of it has actually moved the industry's conversion rate. Despite all the shiny new tools, agents are still struggling to turn leads into clients. The real problem isn't the lead source, or the CRM or the tech you're not using. It's your mindset and activity. Too many agents label leads as “bad” because the timeline is longer than they'd like. Too many make one or two attempts, then drop the lead into automation and wait. And too many assume the next CRM or campaign will be the breakthrough.  Buyers don't want better drip emails; they just want more contacts. How can you increase lead conversion without spending more money?  In this episode of Level Up, we unpack the counterintuitive secret to online buyer lead conversion. It's not about better tech, and it's not about finding the perfect lead source.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  “Bad leads” aren't bad, just mistimed Most leads labeled as bad are really just further out in their timeline. What happens when you stop dismissing long-term leads and start treating them as future clients? Attempts beat apps every time Conversion skyrockets when you commit to 10+ real contact attempts instead of relying on automation. How much money are you leaving on the table by stopping at two calls? Speed to lead closes deals 73% of buyers hire the first agent they speak with. How do you build a system so you're always the one answering first? Real ROI comes from activity, not tech Tech tweaks give you fractions of improvement. Human persistence gives you multiples. Why are agents chasing 0.2% bumps instead of 5x results?   About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

Can Empathy Drive Productivity and Profit? Yes! What if the greatest leadership superpower wasn't authority or strategy—but empathy? On the this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, my guest Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller unpacks her book The Empathic Leader and explains how empathy, when connected to Emotional Intelligence (EQ), is transforming leadership in ways that boost profit, productivity, and innovation. Too often, leaders feel pressured to prioritize numbers and outcomes over people. But Dr. Robinson-Winemiller makes the case that empathy isn't a “soft skill” at all—it's a strategic advantage rooted in EQ. We'll dive into how empathic leadership helps uncover hidden strengths, fosters trust, and fuels creativity in teams. If you've ever wondered why some leaders inspire while others burn people out, the missing ingredient may be empathy. This conversation isn't about being “nice” or “agreeable.” It's about results. Companies that embed empathy into their leadership culture—anchored in Emotional Intelligence—consistently outperform their competitors. Dr. Robinson-Winemiller will share why empathy is the leader's most underutilized tool, and how developing this EQ muscle can transform organizations from the inside out. Join Dr. Melissa and me for a powerful discussion that will challenge everything you thought you knew about leadership. Whether you're leading a company, a team, or even your own personal growth, The Empathic Leader will open your eyes to why empathy changes everything. Watch live, interact in real time, or catch the replay on the A New Direction podcast—because the future of leadership starts with empathy. Dr. Melissa Robison-Winemiller's book, "The Empathic Leader: How EQ via Empathy Transforms Leadership for Better Profit, Productivity, and Innovation" is a read for anyone who is in leadership, wants to be in leadership, or just needs to connect with greater ability with another person. This book is not as Dr. Melissa says, "woo-woo".  This is a book filled with research that makes a clear case that leading with empathy may be the one emotional intelligence factor that may be missing from your business moving upward to the next level. The fact is we probably have some idea of what empathy is, but more than likely we don't know what empathy is not.  She makes this very clear.  Then she shows us the most important factor and that is empathy is a skill that must be practiced on a daily basis and how we truly put it into action.  And that is the key.  It's not a feel good thing, it is an action that we all can take. I found the book to be incredibly inspiring, and really challenged my mindset on what I thought I knew about empathy.  This book is now a took in my tool box of emotional intelligence of how I can use it and distinguish between simply building rapport and actually connecting with other on a level that changes the outcomes.

The real estate world has shifted, and whether we like it or not, there's no going back.  Too many agents are still treating the changes as an extinction event, but here's the truth: if you adapt, we still have the opportunity we've had to grow market share in years. Since the settlement, more agents have entered the industry. That means more competition, but also more proof that complacency kills careers.  The new agents are hungry, willing to try what others won't, and most importantly, they're not afraid to embrace tools like AI to move faster and smarter. I've been in this business long enough to see that the AI-powered agent is nearly impossible to beat. When you know how to pair technology with your expertise, you become unstoppable.  It's not about replacing what makes us human; it's about amplifying it to generate more leads, close more deals, and serve clients in ways our industry couldn't imagine a few years ago. I was a guest on The 13% Podcast with Lance Billingsley and Dave Richards, where we went deep on what it takes to thrive in real estate today.  In our conversation, I shared how agents can navigate a post-settlement industry and why AI is a game-changer for lead gen and client service.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Business as usual is a trap If you keep working the way you always have, you'll lose market share. What happens to agents who refuse to adapt? The AI-powered agent is unstoppable. Blending technology with expertise gives some agents an unfair advantage. How are they closing more deals while working less? Complacency is killing seasoned pros. Hungry new agents are outpacing veterans every day. What simple mindset shift can help you stay ahead of the competition?   Guest Bio Lance Billingsley is a seasoned real estate professional with over a decade of experience in agent development and business coaching. Since January 2021, he has served as the Vice President of Agent Development at Navi Title Agency, where he leverages his extensive industry knowledge to mentor and support real estate agents. Before his tenure at Navi Title, Lance co-owned a top-performing real estate team at Realty ONE Group, achieving recognition as one of the company's top five teams. He also served as a business coach for Tom Ferry.  Dave Richards is a well-respected business coach working with CEOs, entrepreneurs, mortgage and real estate professionals, and others. With over 25+ years of executive leadership experience, he coaches and consults with the top professionals and organizations in their respective industries. Capitalizing on his certifications in Human Behavior, he specializes in building and optimizing high-performance teams and tackling difficult decisions that hold his clients back. He easily connects with entrepreneurs to help identify and communicate their vision, define their culture, and increase their profits and growth in today's dynamic marketplace.   About Your Host Marki Lemons Ryhal is a ​​Licensed Managing Broker, REALTOR® and avid volunteer.  She is a dynamic keynote speaker and workshop facilitator, both on-site and virtual; she's the go-to expert for artificial Intelligence, entrepreneurship, and social media in real estate.

It's amazing what you can accomplish in a year that seems like nothing day by day.    I used to see Realtors do this.    "How are things going for you?"   Realtor: "I'm so busy.  I had 3 closings last month."    Most people waste time hurrying up and waiting.     Instead of doing daily, consistent actions, they wait on something to happen instead of making it happen.    It's a vicsious cycle.    The work has to be done daily and it's not sexy, but it's those little unsexy actions done over time consistently that make the world go around and push things forward in life.    I don't wait to get fat before I have to go to the gym.    I go now because I know it'll take me longer to battle health challenges if my body is out of shape.    I don't eat like a 20-year old.     I eat things that fuel my body.    Same goes for everything we do, but things aren't going to change if you're not taking massive action and simply waiting for things to fall in your lap.    It's not how the universe works.    Get to work.    And you'll see the fruits of your labor manifest.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Donna Adelson Trial — Tim Kelly (Realtor) Says Family Looked at Tallahassee Homes In this raw courtroom clip from the Donna Adelson Trial, Tallahassee realtor Tim Kelly takes the stand and lays out a detail the defense wants front and center: back in 2011, he showed homes to Donna and Harvey Adelson—appointments he says were set up at Dan Markel's request. Kelly methodically explains when the showings happened, the neighborhoods he toured with the Adelsons, and the ordinary, practical tone of those conversations. It's not flashy testimony, but it's the kind that makes jurors pause: if Donna and Harvey were considering a move to Tallahassee years before Markel's 2014 murder, how does that square with the state's theory that the family was fixated on getting Wendi and the kids out of Tallahassee? Why it matters: motive. Prosecutors have framed this case around family conflict, relocation pressures, and control. Kelly's testimony can't rewrite the larger timeline—but it complicates it. The defense is using him to suggest the Adelsons' priorities weren't a one-way street. If jurors conclude the family at one time explored living near Markel instead of removing the children from him, that nuance could seed reasonable doubt around the state's overarching motive story. Watch for the specifics: who contacted whom (Kelly says Markel), how the showings unfolded, and how the search ultimately fizzled. The defense is aiming for a simple takeaway—this was normal family logistics, not a breadcrumb trail toward violence. The prosecution, for its part, will argue the 2011 showings are a blip with little bearing on the decisions and communications that followed years later. Bottom line: Kelly adds a quiet but strategic brick to the defense wall. It's not the kind of testimony that makes headlines, but it's exactly the kind that jurors revisit when they're sorting motive from speculation. #hashtags #DonnaAdelsonTrial #DanMarkel #TimKelly #TrueCrime #Tallahassee #MurderForHire #Courtroom #TrialUpdate #LegalAnalysis Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
