Stop settling and find where your value matches your ambition.

Excited to share this very special conversation with one of our favorites, Pamela Cass. Realtor, executive coach, podcast host, and most recently, author(!!), Pam joins us to share her journey of transformation and resilience—from a kid with dyslexia who wanted to be invisible into a leader who helps others find their voice.

Pam's journey is proof that what we see as our greatest weakness can become our superpower.

Some of the things we get into:

• Resilience
• Adversity
• Empathy
• Creativity

One of our favorite themes—the idea that you should stop trying to "fix" yourself and start leaning into what makes you unique—is the underlying message here.

There's something here for everyone. If you've ever felt underestimated or wondered if you're in the wrong place, this episode will help you see yourself—and your value—completely differently.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

Pam is the co-author of "The Quiet Gift," past president of the Fort Collins Board of Realtors, and host of the Reignite Resilience podcast. Her story will challenge you to stop comparing yourself to others and start celebrating what only you can bring to the world.

Most agents think they’re bad at follow-up — and that the right CRM will finally fix it. The real issue is who they’re following up with. The good news? This is an easy fix with dramatic results.

In this episode, Matt & Garrett unpack why agents avoid their “real people” and instead chase strangers. A bloated, unfiltered database quietly sabotages both your systems and your confidence. When you narrow your core list to people you actually talk to, follow-up stops being heavy and starts being effective.

We dig into:

• Why more contacts ≠ more business
• How to identify your true “core” inside your database
• The psychological reason agents default to strangers
• A simple paper-and-highlighter method to find your people fast
• Why higher frequency with fewer people outperforms more hustle

Stop beating yourself up. You’re not “bad at follow-up” — you’ve just been focused on the wrong people. Let’s fix that and infuse your business with new energy and momentum.

Winning isn’t accidental — and neither is falling off after a win.

In this episode, Matt and Garrett break down the Thermostat Theory: the invisible standard you’ve set for yourself that quietly determines how high you rise… and when you stop. Most agents don’t fail because the goal is too big — they fail because their internal comfort setting pulls them back to “good enough.”

We dig into:

• Why momentum dies the moment you start to succeed
• How your standards — not your goals — are driving your outcomes
• The subtle identity shift required to raise your thermostat for good
• What leaders, brokers, and team builders get wrong about standards

If you keep restarting, relapsing, or cooling off the minute things go “well,” this one will hit home.

Your business should serve your life — not consume it.

Ever feel stuck in a cycle of "not enough"?

Whether you’re a real estate agent, entrepreneur, or someone getting stuck in the feeling of “not enough,” this episode will help you reframe your thinking, reclaim your energy, and create more abundance in every part of your life.

Garrett and Matt dive deep into the connection between gratitude, mindset, and abundance — and why the life (and business) you want doesn’t come from grinding harder, but from shifting how you see the world.

They unpack the real difference between scarcity and abundance, how your energy and focus attract or repel opportunity, and why gratitude isn’t just a feel-good exercise — it’s a cause, not an effect.

💡 You’ll Learn:

• Why gratitude creates abundance (not the other way around)
• How to shift out of scarcity thinking in real time
• The difference between contentment and complacency

Let's get to living a Life at Ten Tenths!

In a world that’s all about “more” — more leads, more clients, more hustle — what if the secret to building a real estate business that fuels you instead of burns you out… was actually about less?

In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, we sit down with Fort Collins REALTOR® Paul Schnaitter, who discovered the counterintuitive secret to real estate success: slowing down, focusing on fewer people, and serving them at a higher level.

Paul shares his journey from burnout to abundance, revealing how he rebuilt his business around energy, relationships, and intention.

By simplifying his database, saying “no” more often, and putting his family and health first, he found more fulfillment—and more referrals—than ever before.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin chasing the next deal, this conversation is your reminder that real success comes from alignment, not exhaustion.

👉 Inside this episode:

• How Paul turned burnout into clarity and abundance
• The mindset shift that changed his business and his life

• What it looks like to prioritize family, health, and energy
• Why doing less with greater intention leads to bigger results
