Episode Overview: In this insightful episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John sits down with Jack Perry, co-founder of The Perry Group, one of the fastest-growing real estate teams in Utah. Jack shares his journey from pastoring churches to leading a 175-agent team alongside his two sons—and how creating a culture of high standards, accountability, and authentic leadership has driven massive success. They explore how Jack leverages leadership through vulnerability, how ego almost got in the way of scaling, and why letting go was the key to leveling up. From social media authenticity to systems and structure, this conversation reveals the foundational pieces behind building a lasting real estate empire.

From pastoring to powerhouse real estate team: Jack reflects on how his 28 years as a pastor laid the foundation for his people-first leadership style, which now fuels The Perry Group's success. The secret to scaling without losing culture: As The Perry Group grew from a few agents to over 175+, Jack reveals how culture was preserved through intentional leadership, clear communication, and simple systems like top-10 recognition and team-wide accountability. Letting go to grow: One of Jack's biggest lessons was learning to release control and empower others, especially his sons, to make decisions and lead independently. Creating meaningful team connection: From Slack channel check-ins to in-person tubing events, Jack shares how The Perry Group ensures new agents quickly feel connected and valued. Staying hungry in a hot market: Despite Utah's booming economy, Jack remains focused on pushing agents to improve, leveraging internal competition and big-picture thinking to avoid complacency. The power of diverse leadership: With himself and his sons each bringing radically different strengths to the table, Jack explains why embracing those differences has accelerated their collective success.

Her agency has worked with some of the biggest tech companies in the world, starting with Adobe and building relationships that would later take them to work with Google and Meta. Currently, she's looking forward to leveraging this experience working with big companies to create lasting relationships with smaller startups and mid-market companies as well. She talks about the challenges and benefits of running a remote agency, how she finds talent suited for remote work, and how implementing EOS in her agency operations improved her business' structure, communications, and employees accountability. In this episode, we'll discuss: How EOS gives structure and accountability. The traits she looks for when hiring remote talent How she keeps team culture strong with in-person retreats Why remote work isn't “easier”—but can be better with the right systems.  Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design, and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

A Pivot Fueled by Adversity Lisa began her professional journey as a developer, then transitioned to freelance consulting. Seeing she had a knack for explaining technical processes, she took some writing courses and expanded her abilities into content writing. Lisa's freelance work soon attracted several major tech companies. The growing demand for her services prompted her to hire her first intern through Craigslist, initially viewing this expansion as an extension of her freelance business. However, when her husband fell seriously ill, Lisa's need to provide financial stability for her family motivated her to formalize and grow her operation into a proper agency. What had started as individual consulting work had evolved into a full-fledged business born of both opportunity and necessity. Why Lisa's Agency Thrives Remotely—And How Yours Can Too Since founding her agency, Lisa has maintained a primarily remote operation. She did try to run the team from an office a little before Covid restrictions came to send everyone home again, but was finding it tedious, with common complaints about people's choice of food or annoying habits. It seemed as though petty distractions disappeared once they returned to remote work. As the owner of a remote agency, Lisa admits this modality isn't easier—it's just a different kind of hard. To truly succeed, agency owners who want a remote team must take care to carefully choose people suited for this type of work. Some people really do need the presence of someone keeping them accountable. These people find that on-site work provides them a sense of structure and that the interaction with teammates helps improve their performance. Lisa looks for workers who are able to self-manage and are results-oriented. Her team always has access to managers through Slack, of course, but they mostly prefer to manage their work and their time to better fit their lifestyles. Remote teams can leverage technology to enhance collaboration and communication, using tools like video conferencing, project management software, and instant messaging platforms allow team members to work together seamlessly, regardless of their geographical location. Assessing Candidates' Adaptability to Remote Work Not everyone is suited for remote work, so after assessing a candidate's suitability for the role based on their skills and experience, Lisa also looks to identify whether or not they are suited to work in this modality. If you have struggled finding workers who thrive in a remote setting, try to use assessments and structured interview questions to gauge a candidate's suitability. For instance, asking about their strategies for maintaining accountability can reveal much about their potential success in a remote setting. Furthermore, candidates who have previously navigated remote roles often have the skills and mindset necessary to thrive in similar environments. This experience can translate into a more seamless integration into a remote team, as these individuals are likely already familiar with the challenges and best practices associated with this working style. How EOS Can Transform Your Remote Agency Operations The Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) has helped many agencies create the sense of structure that some remote teams may be missing. In it, every worker has their goals, so they know what they're working towards, as well the agency's goals for the quarter, so everyone can grow in the same direction. It wasn't immediately easy or intuitive for Lisa to implement EOS into her agency processes. She read the book and tried to self-implement it unsuccessfully. It wasn't until she was introduced to an implementer who could help her with the process and keep her accountable that she felt she was on the right path with this system. With expert guidance, structured meetings became the cornerstone of Lisa's agency operations. These non-negotiable, regularly scheduled sessions ensure team alignment and individual accountability. Using Ninety software, Lisa's team conducts highly organized meetings with clear agendas and built-in timers that keep discussions focused on measurable outcomes and actionable tasks. This systematic approach eliminates wasted time while fostering a culture where team members understand their specific responsibilities. This framework helps Lisa establish high-level objectives aligned with her agency's vision, then break these down into manageable steps by working backward from desired outcomes. For instance, if an agency aims to achieve $20 million in top-line revenue and $10 million in net profit, how does this cascade down to individual team members? This clear linkage between daily activities and long-term objectives helps create a culture of accountability and proactive engagement. Structuring Professional Growth in Remote Agencies Part of the changes introduced with the use of EOS was establishing clear pathways for employee growth, something that employees themselves asked for. While tenure still influences senior positions, the agency's COO developed a three-stage framework that provides visual clarity for professional development. Seed: Your ground-level tasks for any particular role. Blossom: Demonstrating confident competence and Independence in that role. Bloom: Preparing for advancement to the next position. Interestingly, this framework is not necessarily linear recognizing that personal circumstances may cause employees to move between stages. If an employee shifts from "Blossom" back to "Seed," management initiates supportive conversations to discuss their situation and explore potential paths forward based on the employee's choices. This is an important initiative that all agency owners hoping to scale their agency should consider as it forces you to think about ways to scale your team and locate the leaders that will help take the pressure off you as you start to delegate responsibility to them. Furthermore, you'll be taking action to help your team take ownership of their roles, thus increasing retention as you motivate individuals who could get frustrated if they don't see growth opportunities. How In-Person Retreats Build Camaraderie in a Distributed Workforce Running a remote agency takes a lot of organization, structure, and also an appreciation for in-person connection. Lisa understands that while tech keeps teams connected, it can't replace the depth of real, in-person connection.. Hence, to encourage team bonding, she organizes a team retreat, that most recently took the team to Puerto Rico, for a few days of team building activities, but mostly to just be together in the same space. This is a great lesson for agency owners who want to run a remote agency. Building camaraderie through in-person connections will also have practical implications for agency growth. In-person retreats and gatherings can serve as platforms for discussing career aspirations, setting goals, and mapping out pathways for professional growth, as well as fostering stronger relationships, enhanced communication, and a more cohesive work environment.

According to Tiffany Alexander, the hardest part of growing a small business is facing moments of financial uncertainty—when you feel like you can't keep going and don't know where the next penny will come from. Especially in real estate, she highlights the challenge of being "property rich and cash poor," where assets are tied up but liquid funds are lacking. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Tiffany Alexander's favorite business book that has helped her the most is Multiply Your God-Given Potential by John Bevere. She appreciates how the book challenges business owners to go beyond personal success by using their talents to give back, grow further, and make a greater impact rather than settling after reaching initial goals. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Tiffany Alexander recommends the Lucky Titan podcast by Josh Tapp as a great resource. She values it for its strong focus on marketing, which she believes is essential for business growth. She also emphasizes the power of referrals and using a CRM to track them as key tools for small business success. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Tiffany Alexander recommends using a white-labeled version of Pantheon Connect, a tool that helps manage and leverage LinkedIn connections for referrals. She values it for enabling her to build trust, request introductions, and expand her network effectively—crucial for growing a small business through relationships. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Tiffany Alexander's advice to herself on day one of starting out in business would be: “Ask more people. Don't be afraid to ask a dumb question. Ask. Don't quit on asking.” She believes staying quiet slows down progress and that growth comes from seeking help and information early and often.

Alex Rodriguez shares why in sports and business, striking out is just a part of the game.From the baseball field to the boardroom, great communication is critical for success. But as Alex Rodriguez knows, we don't always hit it out of the park. For this sports superstar turned entrepreneur, striking out is never the end of the story.“I'm fifth all-time in the history of strikeouts,” says Rodriguez. “That means there's only four people in the history of mankind that have failed more than me.” For the 14-time Major League Baseball All-Star and World Series champion, failures aren't endings, but opportunities to learn and grow. "The key is how you get back up with the same energy and enthusiasm," explains Rodriguez, who is now chairman and CEO of A-Rod Corp, leading a team of experts in building high-growth businesses.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, co-hosted by Matt Abrahams and Stanford GSB colleague Jeffrey Pfeffer, Rodriguez shares lessons on resilience, authenticity, and effective communication. From maintaining a "slow heartbeat" in high-pressure moments to his approach of "intentional listening," he offers insights on leadership, giving feedback, and viewing communication as "an unselfish act." Whether you're stepping up to the plate or stepping up to present, these strategies can help you turn strikeouts into home runs.Episode Reference Links:Alex RodriguezJeffrey Pfeffer  Ep.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail YouEp.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach's Guide to Communication  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:53) - Teaching at Stanford: Strategic Pivoting (04:28) - Preparing for Life After Baseball (06:51) - Performing Under Pressure (08:16) - Finding Balance Post-Pandemic (09:14) - Building a Media Presence (11:05) - Creating Great Teams (12:15) - The Role of Ego and Intentional Listening (14:26) - Giving and Receiving Feedback (17:06) - Setbacks, Resilience, and Redemption (20:09) - Developing Authenticity (21:39) - The Final Three Questions (25:31) - Conclusion    *****This episode is brought to you by Babbel.
