One year ago, I recorded my very first podcast episode—and Ben Dings was my first guest.

At the time, the market was full of uncertainty, and we were trying to make sense of where things were headed. Now, 12 months later, we’re sitting back down for a full circle conversation.

In this episode, we break down what’s actually changed over the past year—from interest rates and home prices to buyer behavior, mindset, and what it really takes to succeed in today’s market.

The surprising part? On paper, not much has changed. Rates are similar. Prices are relatively flat. But the way people think, act, and make decisions in this market is completely different.

We also get into:

•  What we got right (and wrong) a year ago 
•  How the Georgia market has evolved—especially in Fayette, Coweta, and Henry counties 
•  The biggest shifts in buyer and seller behavior 
•  Lessons learned from the last 12 months 
•  What we believe is coming next 

This episode is more than just a market update—it’s a look at growth, perspective, and what a difference a year can make.

Full circle.

Most people wait until they feel ready. That’s the problem.

Stephen A. Childs has spent 20+ years coaching high performers—and he’s seen what actually works. In this episode, we break down why motivation is overrated, how discipline changes everything, and why you need to take on something with a real chance of failure if you want to grow.

We also dive into the concept of misogi—and why doing something extremely hard once a year might be the fastest way to change your life.

At 83, Helen doesn’t remember every place, every detail, or every story from the road.

But maybe that’s not the point.

In this episode, we sit down with Helen and talk about a life shaped not by perfect memory, but by consistent presence. Through decades of travel, mission trips, and seasons of life that blur together, one thing stands out clearly—she just kept showing up.

This conversation isn’t about timelines or tallies. It’s about faith that didn’t need fanfare, obedience that didn’t require recognition, and a quiet kind of impact that builds over time.

Some stories are sharp. Others are softened by time. But what remains is something deeper:

A life of saying yes.

Again and again.

A year ago, I went on a mission trip with my son thinking I was going to help other people.

What I didn’t expect was how much I would change.

Over the past 12 months, something has been pulling me… not guilt, not pressure, just a steady draw toward God that I couldn’t really explain.

In this episode, I talk honestly about what that’s looked like. The hesitation. The fear of being judged. The things I’m still holding onto. And how my faith has started to grow, even though I still feel like I’m figuring it out.

I also share how a recent cancer diagnosis in my family tested all of it… and why, for the first time, I felt peace instead of anger.

I don’t have this all figured out. This isn’t a polished story.
 Just a real one.

 He Left the News to Change the Narrative 

Most of us scroll the news and walk away feeling worse about the world.

Chris Dawson is trying to change that.

After more than two decades in traditional media, Chris made a bold pivot — stepping away from the negativity-driven news cycle to create Slice of Good, a platform dedicated to sharing stories that inspire, uplift, and remind people that good still exists.

In this episode, we talk about:

•  What it’s really like working inside major newsrooms 
•  The moment he knew something had to change 
•  Why negative stories spread faster — and how he’s flipping the script 
•  The psychology of what we consume every day 
•  How “Slice of Good” is growing and impacting people in real life 

We also dive into a fun side of things — including both of us volunteering for the 2026 World Cup in Atlanta and what that experience might bring.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the news or wondered if there’s a better way to tell stories…

This conversation is for you.
