You asked, we answered! It’s been way too long since we’ve done a good old-fashioned Q&A, and y’all delivered some great questions. From systems and tools to mindset, burnout, and building consistency—we’re covering it all in Part 1 of this 2-part Q&A series!

Grab your sweet tea (homemade by Jac, no less!) and join us as we tackle everything from unresponsive leads to what “making it” in real estate actually feels like. We’ll give you a peek into what a “day in the life” looks like for us, plus share some pivotal moments in our careers that could have totally changed our path.

And spoiler: if you’re feeling behind, unorganized, or like you made some bad business choices… you’re not alone. We’re getting real and talking about what to do next.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

• Our favorite systems, tools, and apps we use daily

• How we handle unresponsive leads (hint: it’s all about permission and perspective)

• What a “typical” day really looks like (if that exists!)

• When we finally felt like we “made it” in real estate

• What to do if you’ve made some bad financial choices

• Preparing for busy seasons without burning out

• Tips for creating long-term consistency in your business

• The emotional and financial investments that paid off in our careers

• A behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run Hustle Humbly
