Alexander Phillips is the number one real estate agent in Australia and has been for over a decade. He joins me on the podcast to talk about what it actually takes to operate at that level - the preparation, the process, and the relentless drive that most people never see behind the results.

We get into what's happening in the property market right now, why he thinks this is one of the hardest markets in 20 years, and how he manages the pressure of carrying 44 listings without losing his mind.

But we also go deeper than real estate. Alex talks about what success has cost him personally and why circuit breakers aren't optional at his level.

He's someone who has redefined what's possible in this industry, and he's refreshingly honest about the gap between how it looks from the outside and what it actually takes to sustain it.
