This week I'm joined by Mindy Pusch. We have a very open and real conversation about the stresses and pressures of this job, her role early in my career, being active and transparent on social media, sacrificing a social life, getting sober, and finding her faith.

This week Marketing Officer with The Title Center, Diana Eldridge, joins me to talk about her work as chair of the Realtor Affiliates Committee, and the upcoming Mixers with Affiliates event. We go over her role at The Title Center, the importance of building relationships, starting her own podcast, and urging Realtors to attend this awesome event.

Jane Hay joins me for a conversation this week. We talk about what she was doing before she got into real estate that helped her after she got licensed, construction on her new building, the importance of staging, throwing parties, being married to a football coach, keeping focus on clients while spinning several other plates, and cooking on a Blackstone.

This week I welcome Mike Buscher back to the podcast. We talk about him stepping back from the day-to-day but not stepping away completely. Also, what he's looking to contribute moving forward, the impact he's had on shaping the careers and lives of so many agents, finding the balance between work and personal in a career with no set hours, and confirming that I personally didn't chase him out of the business.

This week I welcome Natalie Dodson from INB back to podcast. We look back at what she saw in the mortgage world in 2025, and what she's hoping to see in the coming year. We talk about the importance of focusing on the monthly payment, when the right time is to contact a lender, incentives for new buyers, and how we felt about the Stranger Things finale.

Celebrating the 50th episode by welcoming one of everyone's favorite guests, Ketki Arya. Once again, Ketki takes the reins and asks me all about my plans going into 2026. We talk about my plans to build a real estate team, and my involvement in a few committees with the association. Ketki shares her experiences both being part of a team, and as a team lead. We also reflect back on what I thought the podcast would be vs what it has turned out to be.

My guest this week is Jane Locascio. We talk mainly about overcoming adversity. From her battle with cancer, a horrible accident that nearly cost her a leg, and chopping part of her finger, Jane has fought back and built a successful real estate career. We talk about how beneficial the Buffini program has been to her, and offer up advice to new agents.

This week I'm joined by Bev Brauer, President of Cornerstone Title Groupe. We of course learn about how she got into the business, some of the things that happen behind the scenes to make sure everyone gets to the closing table, what they're doing to help combat wire fraud in real estate transactions, the importance of everyone in and around the real estate industry keeping lines of communication open, briefcases full of cash, and some great closing table stories.

It's all about commission on this episode as I welcome back Julie Davis. We talk about how to have those conversations with sellers, what has changed in our conversations since the NAR settlement, getting buyer agency agreements signed, and the importance of offering compensation to buyer agents.

This week's episode features Dominic Campo. The conversation covers his start in the family business, being known as the Pawnee brokerage, Realtors being bad at math, his involvement in different committees, trying to understand how to pay taxes, getting along with agents from other brokerages, and the Campo family's 100 year history of local real estate.
