Number 1: Agent Series 53: Relationships Over Transactions - How to Build a $6B Business
Louise Phillips Forbes started her real estate career making just $8,400 in her first year. More than three decades later, she has closed over $6 billion in real estate, and she credits much of that success to a philosophy that has very little to do with chasing transactions. James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Louise, founder of the Louise Phillips Forbes Team at Brown Harris Stevens, to discuss why relationships, generosity, service, and authenticity have remained at the center of her business. Louise shares how she built her sphere organically, why other agents should be viewed as colleagues instead of competitors, and why treating every relationship like an opportunity for a commission can actually work against you. They also explore how New York real estate has changed throughout Louise's 35-year career, the growing battle over private listings, balancing service with being a strong negotiator, and why even a $6 billion producer is still willing to rethink how she runs her business.

Number 2: The Truth About the Housing Shortage
For years, the real estate industry has been told America has a severe housing shortage. But what if the data tells a different story? James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Ryan McKeveny, Managing Director at Zelman & Associates, to challenge one of housing's biggest assumptions. Ryan explains why declining birth rates, an aging population, slowing household formation, and immigration trends could mean the housing market is much closer to balanced than many believe. They also dig into affordability, mortgage rates, shifting demographics, today's difficult transaction environment, and what agents should be doing now instead of waiting for the market to improve.

Number 3: Agent Series 52: The Referral System That Works
What if the best referral system for your real estate business had nothing to do with asking for referrals? James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Greg Roeder, Founder and Principal Broker of Selling Fort Collins with LIV Sotheby's International Realty to unpack the system that helped him grow from $15 million in solo sales volume in 2023 to $40 million in 2025. Greg shares how client events, niche content, genuine relationships, and consistent follow-up turned his existing network into a powerful source of repeat and referral business. The best part? His strategy starts with something most agents overlook: doing more of what actually brings you joy.

Number 4: Agent Series 51: Don't Let AI Replace Human Connection
AI can make real estate agents more efficient, but it can't replace the one thing clients actually need from you: human connection. James Dwiggins sits down with human connection keynote speaker, author, and longtime real estate professional Barb Betts to talk about why relationships remain an agent's greatest competitive advantage. Barb shares the relationship-first strategy behind her seven-figure real estate business, her simple "5 by 5 Method," why agents should stop chasing referrals, and how authenticity builds confidence and trust. Plus, they break down how agents should use AI to create more time for relationships. Not automate those relationships away.

Number 5: Agent Series 55: Average Is Invisible
The middle of the real estate industry is disappearing. According to Nick Schlekeway, founder and CEO of Amherst Madison, the agents who survive won't be the ones blending in, they'll be the ones who become essential. James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson sit down with Nick to unpack the philosophy behind his upcoming book, The Essential Agent, and why "average is invisible" has become the defining idea behind his approach to real estate. Nick shares lessons from his time as a Division I football player, Boise firefighter, real estate agent, and brokerage founder, including why preparation is a competitive advantage, why successful people need a "rookie mentality," and how leading by example creates stronger organizations. They also explore the danger of becoming disposable to your clients, why agents need a clearly defined value proposition, and the mistake Nick believes held him back early in his career: trying to find new things to say to the same audience instead of taking a proven message to more people.
