In this episode of The Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I welcome back Evan Carmichael—entrepreneur, author, YouTube powerhouse, and global speaker—to share powerful insights on belief, content creation, and taking bold action.

Evan first joined us way back in Episode 241, before the world changed. Since then, his YouTube channel has exploded to over 4 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views, and he's helped entrepreneurs and investors across the world grow their influence, impact, and income through content and consistency.

In this conversation, we unpack how to overcome limiting beliefs, surround yourself with the right people, and use platforms like YouTube strategically, not just for views, but for real business growth. Evan also shares a practical framework he calls the "Money 50", plus his approach to using podcasts and interviews to build the right relationships and scale faster.

If you're ready to take bold action, build belief, and start showing up more powerfully in business and life, this episode will give you the tools and mindset to do it.
