Joshua Smith joins Jon Pugh for an in-depth conversation about building a massive agent attraction organization, creating residual income, and why he believes most agents are focused on the wrong things. Joshua shares how selling over 7,000 homes led him to realize he was constantly starting over every year, why he ignored eXp for nearly a decade, the costly mindset mistakes that delayed his growth, and the systems he used to grow one of the fastest-expanding organizations in the industry. The episode dives into leadership, mentorship, recruiting, long-term wealth creation, motivation, and the mindset required to build a business that creates true freedom.
