Desi Williams from Burley, Idaho, and Elizabeth McNally from Medicine Hat, Alberta, share how they've captured over 40% market share in communities where most agents settle for 20 deals a year. Desi shares her journey of moving to Idaho and starting her real estate career with no sphere of influence.

"I had to show I was willing to do the work," Desi explains, reflecting on how determination fueled her growth. Elizabeth, from Alberta, also built her business from the ground up by focusing on professionalism and innovation, introducing professional photography and staging to her market before these practices became the norm. The conversation quickly turns to mindset and the habits that have fueled their success. Desi explains how consistency has been her superpower, maintaining 100+ conversations weekly to keep her business thriving. Elizabeth adds, "People often lose momentum after a big win, but that's when it's most important to keep going." Both agree that breaking through mental barriers, like fears of success or judgment, was essential to their growth. Both leaders reveal their systematic approach to growth, with Desi noting a dramatic shift after implementing a CRM: "I went from 40 transactions to 89 that year." They discuss the importance of consistent follow-up, maintaining high conversation counts, and providing value-add services that differentiate them in their markets. As the episode wraps up, the two discuss their upcoming mastermind for agents in small markets. "There's not enough tailored advice for small communities, and we want to change that," says Desi.  Top Takeaways: (4:02) How to build stamina for real estate success  (5:36) Why do some agents lose their edge? (6:23) What happens when agents make their first $30k?  (8:39) What's the “DoorDash” model for real estate?  (10:49) How do agents escape repetitive routines? (14:18) Surrounding Yourself with the Right People (17:56) Innovating in Small Markets (22:55) How does staging impact listing performance? (26:52) The Power of CRMs in Small Markets (31:07) Overcoming Self-Doubt and Burnout (36:02) The Impact of Networking and Growth Events   Tune in to discover how these innovative leaders have built multimillion-dollar businesses in markets others might overlook, and learn their strategies for maintaining exceptional performance regardless of market size.    About Desi Williams Desi Williams is a Southern Idaho real estate broker committed to helping clients create their ideal home, whether it's a starter house, a hobby farm, or a retirement property.

(Jack Parrott / Flickr )Freeing the slaves in America was not done with the stroke of a pen. President Abraham Lincoln and other anti-slavery politicians of the time used the constitution, which did not condemn slavery, in a very deliberate and strategic way to make their arguments.College of Southern Idaho professor Justin Vipperman will be exploring this topic at the Idaho State Archives in Boise; he joined Idaho Matters for a preview, along with Angie Davis from the Idaho State Archives.

Center pivot irrigation is so prevalent in Southern Idaho, you can see it from space. With only 12 inches of annual rainfall, Justin Place says his 1,250-acre operation is heavily reliant on pumping water from the Upper Snake River aquifer to grow wheat, barley, alfalfa and mustard. But, faced with a mandate to cut water use by 15 percent, he's spent the last decade incorporating no-till and minimal-till into his practices; and that has allowed him not only to exceed those water management goals, but also improve his soil health. So in this episode, we spent some time learning more about Justin's operation, as well as his involvement as President of the Idaho Grain Producers Association. We'll discuss how sustainability means different things to different folks in the Rockies, how commodity groups can help growers incorporate new sustainability practices, what practices are working in the arid valley along the Upper Snake River, and what new technologies are helping him thrive in a challenging climate.

Michelle was raised in Southern Idaho in an active LDS family that goes back six generations in Mormonism.  She and her husband, Bob, were married in the Salt Lake Temple in 1985 and have raised 3 amazing children and have 2 adorable grandchildren. After actively attending and serving in the LDS church for over 4 decades, Michelle and Bob found themselves experiencing a transition in their faith and together left the church last October. Along with her husband, Michelle has found a new religious community in the First Congregational United Church of Christ and is currently in the process of redefining what religion, God, and meaning making look like in her life. During this faith transition, Michelle felt a need to document the process and share her experiences, so she created an Instagram account under the handle @edge_of_inside where she has found healing and friendship with many others deconstructing their faith. One of the meaningful ways Michelle has found to find purpose since leaving the church is through her volunteer work as a crisis counselor with The Trevor Project. She finds this work, although a bit intimidating, to be one of the most rewarding and challenging things she has ever done. Some of the things Michelle enjoys are music, dogs, soapmaking, hiking and pickleball.

I had the pleasure of having Eric Hale stop by the GRP Studios today to record his session about DreamQuest Tiny Neighborhoods Inc. Coming from a small town in Southern Idaho(they didn't have a traffic light) and working his way through the construction industry, facilities management and seeing all of the things that are done wrong from a construction standpoint, he decided to do something to address the affordable housing issue starting in Florida. This was not at all what I expected whenI invited him on the podcast a month or so ago, I did not expect someone that was passionate about solving a real problem with some outside the box, or house, thinking. I am excited to see where he ends up taking this and what kind of an impact he can make!! You can check out more of what they do on the website...https://dqtn.org

Jessie Jarvis is the owner of "Of The West" a job platform for agricultural jobs and Western lifestyle careers.  She is also a lifelong rancher from Southern Idaho with a deep legacy of ranching work in the Gem State. On today's episode Jessie will discuss why she created "Of The West", and how the inspiration came to her. She will also discuss some of the challenges of looking for a job in agriculture, and why being part of the 2% of the nation involved in ag can lead to a defeated feeling before you have ever submitted a resume. Jessie has a passion for connecting people with the right opportunity, and that definitely comes through in today's episode.  

It's good to be back in my own studio after a few days of filling in for KLIX morning man Bill Colley in Southern Idaho. Here's what's on tap today: Jeff Einstein joins me to talk about the Quality of Life Resistance Movement. Jeff is a phenomenal writer and thinker and he has some powerful ideas on how to reverse the decline of quality of life. The opportunists and power-seekers among us are once again pushing for the wearing of masks. Dr. Clayton J. Baker reveals the dirty little secret about how masks really 'work.' The spirit of Abraham Lincoln lives on in New Mexico governor Grisham who declared an "emergency" last week in order to suspend First and Second Amendment rights. D. Parker has an informative take on where this type of authoritarinism leads. Article of the Day: All of us have been brainwashed to some degree. If we're serious about reaching those who have awakened enough to want a way out, it's going to take something more persuasive than shouted slogans to lead them to higher ground.

In each guest episode, I ask the guest four rapid fire questions. I have thoroughly enjoyed the answers that the guests have given so far and I have been reminded that sometimes the most monumental takeaways are usually very simple at their core.

If you could give people any words of wisdom and you knew they would take them to heart, what would they be?  If you could go to dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?  What is one quote that you lead your life by?

Grab your rain coats, because it looks like we have some storms headed our way!

— “Life is water dancing to the tune of nature." Native Americans in North America considered hot springs to be sacred places where the "Great Spirit" lived, which is why they believed the thermal and mineral waters had miraculous healing powers. Warriors could rest in these areas without being harassed by other tribes, as they were known as neutral ground. Hot springs have been inhabited by Native Americans for more than 10,000 years, according to archeological findings. In the high desert of Southern Idaho, there was a place where natural and continuous hot water flowed from the mountainside, healing the Shoshone and Bannock tribes through generations. There was a belief that this water was sacred and should be guarded. Tribal elders began to recognize the special properties of the water as time passed. The tribal members learned how to create crystals in water using sacred ceremonial blessings, giving the water a mystique and visual power. It is believed that the water of Crystal Spring can promote healing, according to oral and written tradition. Although much of this sacred water's history is still unknown, it still flows naturally from the mountainside as it has for millennia. Valeria interviews Michael Hobson  — He is the founder of Aquene Springs. Michael Hobson has spent his life studying frequencies.  First as a mathematician, then as an econometrics professor and corporate business consultant, through his several businesses in the music industry at the forefront of both the vinyl movement and live recording industries, Michael's interest in frequencies eventually brought him to water.  He became fascinated with water and started a nearly decade-long deep dive into understanding it in all its capabilities.  After years of studying water, water structure and water frequencies, deepening his understanding of this under-appreciated molecule that appears to be the foundation of all Life on Earth, Michael heard about a special water that came from a source in a remote part of Idaho.  Thorough a series of coincidences, he found his way to the spring where pristine water, that tastes like no other, finds its way to the Earth's surface at 139 degrees Fahrenheit and naturally comes out of the ground at 80 gallons/minute.  It was here, in this special place, known for centuries to Native Americans as Crystal Spring, that it became clear to Michael that he would have a role in helping to bring this water to the public.  Hobson sees frequencies as a way for humanity to connect, communicate and heal and knows water plays an important role in life, longevity, health and personal growth.  Michael built Aquene Springs with the intention of shepherding this Source Water to the world, and protecting the untouched nature that surrounds the spring from which it comes. To learn more about Michael Hobson and his work, please visit: aquenesprings.com                 — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.

Their flagship product is a small round device that appears indestructible - that's my claim not their's - but it's meant to either be buried in soil or to be placed anywhere else that the data it collects can be useful such as a developing crop or a warehoused harvest. Soiltech has its own app for cell phones and tablets and its own web browser application for farmers to interact with the data, but they and have also integrated with other parties as well to make sure customers can access the data wherever makes the most sense for themI really enjoyed this interview in which Ehsan will share about the technology and the company, how they've relied on early farmer customers to really guide the development of the product and even become early investors, and some of his thoughts on agtech more generally. Coincidentally, I found out after reaching out to him for an interview that he and I live in the same town, so that was kind of a cool connection as well. Before Soiltech, Ehsan was living Taiwan and working in the telecommunications device manufacturing industry. But his wife was from Southern Idaho and her mother works for a potato packing house, so she was really the genesis for the whole venture to get started and off the ground.Special thanks to Jim Cupples for the guest recommendation.

Idaho Matters takes a field trip with some bird experts to learn how to spot all kinds of birds in Southern Idaho.

Over the years we've heard LGBTQ people say that they didn't know what life might look like for them as an adult. Many haven't had LGBTQ role models that provide examples of a potential future, and a lot of fear that parents of LGBTQ children experience comes from the unknown as well. We thought it might be helpful for parents to get to know some of the amazing members of the LGBTQ community, just a few at a time, so that they can provide a realistic view of what life could look like for our children.
