What’s in this episode:
How do you go from zero to $2M in two years—starting in a town of 2,500?
Joshua Arnold breaks down the real playbook: the lead systems, accountability metrics, and leadership standards that built his agency from scratch and turned producers into future owners.

You’ll hear how he tracks every dollar of lead spend, the KPIs that decide who gets more calls, and why determination—not talent—drives long-term success. Joshua also lays out his hiring cadence, pay structure, and the “3-lead-per-day” rule that keeps his team producing month after month.

If you’re an agent in growth mode—or an owner tired of inconsistent results—this episode shows you exactly what it takes to scale like a CEO without losing your edge.
