Meet Jarod Mitchell from The Mitchell Agency — our next-door neighbor and go-to insurance expert who’s full of great stories and insight! In this episode, Amy and Jarod dive into how technology has changed the world, how photos can sometimes bend the truth in real estate, plus a few health and wellness tips… and maybe even a light conspiracy theory or two.

Amy Angel and her mom, Brenda, lovingly known as “Mimi,” sit down for a heartfelt conversation about family, faith, and resilience. Brenda, who spent over 20 years as a teacher before joining the real estate world as the team’s “Ambassador of Goodwill,” shares stories from her life, from her humble beginnings and marriage to a college basketball star, to raising a family alongside her builder husband. She and Amy open up about love and loss, including how Brenda found the strength to move forward after her husband’s passing and how joy found her again when she fell for the Mayor. From Jacksonville to Destin and back again, Brenda’s story is full of laughter, lessons, and the reminder that life has a beautiful way of coming full circle.
