Podcasts about Spring Hill

On the 245th episode of TOMCRE, Monte and  CareyAnn celebrate nearly seven years of shows, reflect on how the podcast began as a radio program, and share hard‑won lessons from decades in real estate and mortgage. They unpack why what got you here won't get you there, how to thrive in a shifting market, and why mindset and structure are non‑negotiable for long‑term success.  Monte also shares big personal news: he's transitioning full‑time to Florida, staying active in real estate there, while Carrie Anne and CMG prepare to evolve and modernize the podcast with a new home base and expanded guest lineup. Through stories of resilience, community involvement, and relationship‑based business, this episode both honors the past and sets the stage for an exciting new chapter.- **0:00 – 2:20** – Celebrating **Episode 245** and nearly seven years together; memories of starting as a radio show on Talk 99.7.  - **2:20 – 4:30** – Thinking outside the box in real estate; shout‑out to **Jonathan Harris (Scout Realty)** and the book *What Got You Here Won't Get You There*.  - **4:30 – 7:00** – Market outlook for **2026**: insights from **Brian Buffini**, fewer agents in the “pond,” more transactions, and why adaptability beats fear.  - **7:00 – 9:30** – Mindset and momentum: how taking your foot off the gas can stall a business; shifting from “easy business” to real prospecting and hard work.  - **9:30 – 11:50** – The **power of numbers** and relationships: Art Kelly's “Friend Maker” concept, talking to more people, and serving more families through increased activity.  - **11:50 – 13:50** – Structure and routines: the impact of losing huddle calls, coaching, and workouts—and why structure is critical to reaching “your next level.”  - **13:50 – 15:20** – Monte's “unfair advantage”: a playful birthday reveal and “cold calling since age two” story.  - **15:20 – 18:00** – Big announcement: Monte's move to **Florida**, clarifying he's **not retiring**, and Carrie Anne's vision for taking the podcast to the **next level with CMG**.  - **18:00 – 21:20** – Abundance mindset: success leaves clues, why they openly share their “secrets,” and winning the battle in your mind before winning in the market.  - **21:20 – 22:35** – Community involvement in Florida: HOA leadership, neighborhood events, and a powerful moment with Monte's granddaughter that confirms the move.  - **22:35 – end** – Gratitude for listeners, reassurance that Monte is still selling homes in Florida, and excitement for the **next era** of Talk of Music City Real Estate.`We Educate and Motivate All Things Real Estate!Monte Mohr owns Realty One Group Music City and has sold over $1 Billion dollar's worth of real estate and over 3000 homes sold over his 30+ year career!Interested in joining Monte as an agent?www.topagentsuccess.comCarey Ann Cyr manages and operates one of the Top Branches for CMG Financial in Franklin, TN.

BSHL Podcast Season 3 Episode 35- Week 11 Preview and we are headed back to Springhill!

In this episode of Talk of Music City Real Estate, CareyAnn and Monte sit down with Jonathan Harris to unpack a radically different way to list and sell homes in today's unpredictable market (2020–2025 and beyond).  Jonathan explains why experience can become a blind spot, why price does NOT equal value, and how his Marketplace Method can help agents get nearly any home under contract in **10–14 days**—without sacrificing client trust or sales price.  You'll hear how strategic starting prices, seller reserve prices, compressed open-house windows, and upfront inspections/appraisals can create transparent competition, more showings, stronger offers, and greater certainty for sellers. If you're listing homes the “old way,” this conversation will challenge everything you've been doing.- **[0:00:01] – Intro & Birthday Moment**    Show opens, hosts re-introduce Talk of Music City Real Estate and wish **Monte** a happy birthday.- **[0:01:43] – Why Jonathan's Back**    Monte explains why Jonathan is one of the “brightest minds” in real estate and why his perspective is needed now.- **[0:03:27] – Experience as a Blind Spot**    Jonathan explains how 20+ years in real estate can *hurt* you if you don't challenge your assumptions.- **[0:04:50] – “Price Doesn't Equal Value”**    Revisiting Jonathan's big idea: the only opinion of value that matters is the buyer who writes the check.- **[0:06:36] – Why Comps Mislead in 2020–2025**    How erratic markets make traditional CMA thinking dangerous for sellers.- **[0:08:40] – List Price as Your #1 Marketing Tool**    Using **20% below perceived value** to drive traffic and why **what gets shown gets sold**.- **[0:10:07] – Re‑Engineering 2021's Crazy Market**    Deconstructing 2021: defined sales process, offer deadlines, maximum showings, underpricing and multiple offers.- **[0:14:31] – Never Sell to the First Buyer**    Why you should avoid quick contracts and instead create a **7–14 day** window for competition.- **[0:18:46] – Transparent Competition & Upfront Inspections**    How pre-listing inspections and clear timelines reduce fallout and renegotiations.- **[0:20:28] – Case Study: From 1.45M Stale to 1.3M Win**    Listing stagnates at **$1.45M**, relists at **$950K**, pulls **81 showings** and nets **$1.3M** with a 7‑day close.- **[0:23:40] – Open-House-Only Strategy & 74/81 Without Agents**    Why Jonathan banned first-week private showings and what happened when most buyers showed up unrepresented.- **[0:30:36] – Using Coming Soon Price Drops to Hit Every Buyer Pool**    Tactical “coming soon” price changes to capture multiple price brackets without archiving reductions.- **[0:35:39] – The Three Phases: Build Demand, Discover Value, Decide**    Jonathan's core Marketplace Method framework for every listing.- **[0:42:30] – Reserve Prices & Seller Control**    What happens when offer numbers don't hit the reserve—and the three options sellers always have.- **[0:47:45] – Commissions, Net to Seller & Letting Buyers Add Agent Fees**    Stripping out buyer-agent commission from list price and focusing on **net to seller**.- **[0:52:05] – Exact Public Remarks Template**    Jonathan shares wording for MLS remarks that spell out process, deadlines, and starting price.- **[0:55:16] – AgentMaker & The Marketplace Method Training**    Jonathan introduces **AgentMaker.com** and his **12‑hour, 300+ slide** training on the Marketplace Method.---We Educate and Motivate All Things Real Estate!Monte Mohr owns Realty One Group Music City and has sold over $1 Billion dollar's worth of real estate and over 3000 homes sold over his 30+ year career!Interested in joining Monte as an agent?www.topagentsuccess.comCarey Ann Cyr manages and operates one of the Top Branches for CMG Financial in Franklin, TN.

⏳✨ Feeling like God is late? Christmas reminds us that He's never early, never late — always perfect in timing! In today's episode, we explore Galatians 4:4–5 and the wonder of divine timing.

ICYMI: Mobile City Councilman Beau Fleming joined Midday Mobile  and the conversation covered everything from why he ran to what's next for McGregor. Councilman Fleming, brand new to the District 5 seat, walked through the winding road that led him to public office. After volunteering on Mayor Stimpson's first campaign years ago, he knew he wanted to serve one day. That “one day” arrived the moment he heard longtime Councilman Joel Daves wouldn't seek re-election — a moment confirmed by rapid-fire phone calls from his wife and friends who knew he was built for the job. Once elected, Fleming said stepping into City Hall felt less like being tossed into the deep end and more like joining a team that knows how to guide newcomers. The council's staff, he said, has been phenomenal in helping him get his footing fast. On McGregor Avenue Yes, it's finally open — after two years of digging, rebuilding, replacing decades-old utilities, and keeping the neighborhood running above ground while crews worked below it. Fleming called the patience of McGregor residents “remarkable” and said the finished product was worth every slow detour. He also confirmed what many suspected: another McGregor project is coming. In 2026, work begins from Museum Drive to Spring Hill Avenue.  This one won't be a multi-year slog, but it will bring better sidewalks, refreshed lighting, cleaner crosswalks, and improved traffic flow into the Spring Hill corridor. Sidewalks, trees, and the eternal tug-of-war Fleming acknowledged Mobile's longstanding battle between beloved old trees and the sidewalks they tend to buckle. The city's urban forestry team is actively identifying dangerous or diseased trees, and he encouraged residents to report concerns through 311. On that surprise “unpaid rent” moment The newly discovered issue of the city not paying rent for office space in a county-owned building did not show up on Fleming's radar beforehand. He emphasized two priorities: • respecting taxpayer dollars • maintaining a productive city–county partnership He expressed confidence that Mayor Chérrygodus will negotiate a fair solution without locking the city into a bad long-term deal. More resurfacing, more neighborhood improvements, and more updates from District 5 are on the way — and Councilman Fleming says he's just getting started.

Women of Substance with Dr. Scarlett Horton⁣ Episode 111 - Dr. Scarlett Horton interviews Maria Valarezo ⁣ __________⁣ Maria Valarezo is a devoted wife, mother of three sons, and grandmother of two, whose life has been marked by faith, resilience, and a heart for service. Born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and raised in New York City, she later settled in Miami before moving to Spring Hill, Florida, where she continues to grow in her calling. For 27 years, Maria served as an educator—a vocation she deeply loved—until illness led her into a new season of rest and rediscovery.

Through every season, she testifies to God’s sustaining peace and strength, reflected in her life verse: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13). Early in her faith journey, Maria served in Children’s Ministry and later taught in a Christian school before moving into the public school system. Today, she continues her passion for empowering others through her work with LegalShield, where she educates families on the importance of legal protection. She also supports ministries such as Warrior 321, an anti–human trafficking organization. Maria is an active member of Northcliffe Church in Spring Hill, Florida. She currently leads the Women’s Bible Study, where she pours into women with compassion, wisdom, and a deep love for God’s Word. Guided by gratitude and purpose, she is committed to serving, teaching, and being a light wherever God leads her.

What a day! Listen to the podcast intro for the full story. I revisit our first episode from August 2019 to show how this podcast began and how God has kept me steadfast despite cultural shifts. My original assessments about major cities and their ongoing turmoil still hold true. I changed the byline from "equilibrium" to "peace" to clearly reflect the spiritual goal of equipping you to stand firm in a chaotic world. I'm also launching "Coffee Fueled Wisdom," a new channel to foster community online and through local gatherings, starting in Nashville and potentially expanding globally if God wills it.

When a people face "fightings without" and "fears within", what keeps them standing? Is it possible to serve God without constantly worrying about your property, or even your family? D&C 115–120 answers these questions, providing counsel for a Church struggling to survive. Summary: In this episode, we explore revelations given as the Saints faced intense persecution in Missouri and internal apostasy in Kirtland. D&C 115 renames the Church, emphasizing that "thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". The Lord calls Far West to be a "holy and consecrated land" , providing a "refuge from the storm". D&C 116 identifies "Spring Hill" as the sacred place of Adam-ondi-Ahman , where Adam shall come to visit his people. D&C 117 focuses on material priorities. The Lord asks, "what is property unto me?" , commanding the Saints to "let them go" and focus on the "more weighty matters". We highlight the incredible faith of Oliver Granger, whose sacrifice was deemed "more sacred...than his increase". The Lord also warns against a "littleness of soul" and the deeds of the Nicolaitane band. D&C 118 issues a stunning challenge to the Twelve Apostles: to depart for their mission on April 26th from the cornerstone of the Far West temple, a site surrounded by enemies. The Lord promises to "provide for their families" as they go forth. D&C 119-120 reveals the Law of Tithing: first, all "surplus property" , and subsequently, "one-tenth of all their interest annually". This law is declared a "standing law...forever" because sacrifice sanctifies , helping to "sanctify the land of Zion". D&C 120 reveals that the disbursement of these funds must be managed by a presiding council.

✨ In this episode, we look at the lives of four men—Chuck Swindoll Jr., Frank Schaeffer, Joshua Harris, and Bart Campolo—sons of prominent Christian leaders who each walked away from the faith of their fathers. Paired with the biblical example of Demas, their stories highlight a crucial truth: God has no grandchildren. Salvation requires personal conviction and new birth in Christ.

✨ Episode Overview: Remember when this was supposed to be a trilogy? Well… surprise! Here's the bonus track — the addendum.

In this episode of the HX podcast, as part of our "Well at Work" series, I had the privilege of speaking with Justin Long, an author who shared his incredible story of resilience. I was so impacted by his journey, which he says truly began when he got sober at age 32 after years as a "raging alcoholic filled with self-loathing". Justin recounts growing up in an emotionally dysfunctional household, shaped by generational trauma, where he was made to feel he had no value. This led him to a life of searching for external validation through alcohol and other harmful behaviors. Justin's path to healing has been a lifelong journey involving AA, a pivotal mentor named Roland, and transformative trauma therapy. We talk about how he learned to develop self-awareness, challenge those negative beliefs instilled in him since childhood, and shift from self-loathing to self-love. He now applies these profound lessons to his leadership role at Spring Hill Equine Veterinary Clinic, where he focuses on knowing himself to lead himself, understanding his team as individuals, and creating a positive culture where people can grow. His message is a powerful reminder that if you don't feel good about who you are, you have the power to change that. If you'd like to check out his books, click here for more details.  I hope you enjoy this episode! Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

I sit down with Pastor Tony Calabrese, lead pastor at The Gathering in Spring Hill, Tennessee, for a conversation that ranges from his admittedly bougie coffee habits to the deep spiritual work that happens in seasons of transition.Tony shares how his passion for prayer was shaped by watching his single mom depend on God through difficult circumstances, and why he believes prayer begins with understanding God as Father rather than taskmaster. We dive into his journey of saying yes to his biggest no - church planting - and how God often calls us out of our comfort zones to step into His purposes.The heart of our conversation centers on transition as spiritual invitation. Tony offers profound insight for anyone feeling stuck between what was and what's to come, explaining why God's perceived absence in difficult seasons might actually be the prime condition for His breakthrough. We explore how the greatest demonstration of God's power at the resurrection was actually what was missing from the tomb, not what was there.Tony also shares about The Gathering, the church he recently planted after a previous church planting season ended during COVID. He describes this new venture as the most freeing and joy-filled season of his 19-year ministry. Whether you're in a season of transition, struggling with prayer, or simply need encouragement to trust God in the unknown, this conversation offers hope and practical wisdom for following Jesus through every season of life.Chapters00:00 | Introduction and First Impressions04:42 | Transitioning Through Life's Seasons05:11 | The Coffee Journey09:12 | The Power of Prayer14:27 | Personal Stories of Prayer19:13 | Saying Yes to Our Biggest No23:07 | Encouragement for Prayer29:02 | Navigating Transitions30:14 | Navigating Transitions: The Spiritual Journey37:01 | The Power of Dependence in Transition41:29 | God's Silence: A Test of Faith47:34 | The Gathering: A New Church Community54:45 | Designing a Beautiful Day: Simple JoysTony's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tony_calabrese_The Gathering Website: https://www.thegatheringchurch.co/Tony on QAVA: https://qava.tv/teachers/tony-calabrese/

Today we have Brian. He is 40 years old from Spring Hill, MA and he took his last drink of alcohol on July 16th, 2024.   This episode brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Exact Nature – 20% off your order with code RE20   Shout out to these alcohol-free brands for sponsoring our seventh Bozeman Retreat:   Athletic Brewing Sober Link - save 50% on a device Rise Up Coffee Better Rhodes – use code RECOV_EL_15 at checkout for 15% off Odyssey Elixirs   [03:25] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares with us Bill W., the founder of AA once shared letters back and forth with Swiss psychologist Carl Yung looking for feedback on the program he was creating. Perhaps the most important letter from Yung to Bill W. was a letter suggesting a spiritual solution was needed to overcome addiction. He was a firm believer that addiction has nothing to do with weakness but is a misdirected cry for wholeness.   Another viewpoint that Carl Yung gave us is to not ask why you want to quit drinking but what pain you are trying to silence? Or what role is alcohol playing?   When we start asking the right questions and stop fighting the addiction, the healing process begins. If you keep doing your own inner work, the massive ship called your addiction will change course. It takes time to redirect the energy called an addiction, but when we start asking the right questions, it's going to happen. It's just a matter of time.   [07:36] Paul introduces Brian:   Brian is 40 years old and lives in Springfield, MA. He has been married 13 years, and they have two children. For fun he enjoys weight training, cooking, and spending time with his kids.   Brian is the oldest of four kids and his parents divorced when he was young. He shares that he internalized a lot of stuff growing up and carried a lot of emotion. Brian wasn't the kid to act out, but he recalls the first time he drank was when his mother was out of town and he ended up getting very sick. He says it taught him a lesson, and he didn't party much in high school.   In college, Brian says, alcohol acted like that warm hug that people talk about. It gave him a lot of confidence socially and he became friends with people older than him. Once they started graduating, he lost a lot of the friends he drank with, so he found himself drinking alone occasionally which he didn't think there was anything wrong with.   After graduation, the job market was tough which had Brian stressed out and he began using alcohol as a coping mechanism. He was drinking daily and ended up getting pancreatitis after a while, which was a bit of a wake up call for him. The drinking didn't end but Brian began to try and moderate.   Over the years Brian was able to quit for periods of time but would return to drinking to cope with traumatic events. He was working on sobriety, watching YouTube videos, trying naltrexone and listening to podcasts. He was making progress, but COVID came and knocked him down again.   Brian did not want to fall onto the same path that his father had with his alcoholism. Brian had a rock bottom moment when his behavior on a vacation had him showing a negative side of himself to his in-laws.   On the weekend of his wife's birthday, Brian had a few days sober, and his internal voice was trying to convince him to drink. He turned on the RE podcast while he was mowing the lawn and soon after had made the decision that he was going to quit drinking forever. He then burned the ships and told his wife about his decision.   Since quitting drinking Brian's health has improved, he has lost 35 pounds and has found a community in Café RE. He is planning on finding more connection locally to him through AA soon.   Brian's parting piece of guidance: listen to your heart rather than your brain. Follow your instincts.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up.
