On this podcast, we’ve seen many traits and habits that lead to real estate success. 

Of course, drive, discipline, and sales mastery are necessary if you want to build an awesome business and legacy. 

But the exceptional agents we feature on this show have another thing in common. 

Their ability to withstand temporary pain in the pursuit of long-term growth. 

That pain takes on many forms: being vulnerable about where your business is bleeding. 

Receiving and applying feedback. Not focusing on flashy accolades like GCI and rather prioritizing net profit. 

Using real estate income to invest and build wealth instead of spending aimlessly. 

This is where many agents and team leaders struggle the most. They put off temporary pain, and as a result, they put off all the things they want to achieve. 

How do you create a mindset for growth? Why do team leaders need to be more vulnerable? 

In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, and managing partner at Coalition Properties Group, Keith James. 

He shares his incredible story and how he pays it forward in his business and community. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• The power of exposure  Why did Keith buy his first rental before he purchased his own home? 
• The value of vulnerability  In an industry where everyone wants to present themselves as a success story, why is it powerful to admit where you’re falling short?
• GCI is just a trophy  Real estate team leaders are so focused on GCI that they forget it’s just a shiny industry accomplishment you can’t take to the bank. Why do we need to focus less on topline revenue?

Guest Bio

Keith James is an entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist and managing partner at Coalition Properties Group. Born in Northern Mississippi, Keith spent his youth traveling around the United States playing in AAU basketball tournaments weekend after weekend. This exposure brought Keith the global perspective needed to see that the world is bigger than your back yard.

As a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Keith has met with some of the most successful men in real estate, obtaining bits of knowledge from mentorship along the way. The home buying process is an exciting time for families. Research shows families spend hours on the internet before meeting with a real estate professional. Keith knows that feeling all too well. The excitement of his first home purchase was a major investment he made at the age of 23 and he turned it into an income-generating property. That purchase led to another purchase... and it was too late; Keith caught the real estate investor bug! Keith’s passion in life is to be the bridge to help people get to where they want to go.

Success in real estate—or any sales-driven business—isn’t just about chasing leads. It’s about cultivating real relationships and intentionally putting yourself in the right rooms.

Because let’s face it: leads can get you in the door, but relationships are what keep you in the game.

The environments we choose to step into can radically accelerate our growth. Being in the right rooms—whether that’s a mastermind, a networking event, or a simple lunch with other top producers—can unlock opportunities we may never have uncovered on our own.

You get to learn from people who are a few steps ahead, see what’s possible, and raise your standards just by being in their proximity. 

That’s what happened to Brittney Shull. Being in the right rooms helped her level up to running real estate businesses in 2 states, investing and becoming a Real Producer publisher. 

In this episode, the broker-owner and publisher of Central Valley Real Producers shares her story and the power of being in the right rooms. 

The heart of my success in everything I’ve ever done is the relationships I’ve built. -Brittney Shull

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• Your clients trust whoever you trust Many agents fail to grow because they refuse to delegate. They constantly talk themselves out of what they are called to do. How do we get out of our way?
• Pretend you’re on the other side How did Brittney come out of a heartbreaking loss with a positive outlook on life and a drive to achieve her dreams?
• You have a voice that belongs in this room  Imposter syndrome is a natural side effect of new levels of growth. How do we conquer it?

In some jobs, being authentic and outspoken on social media can get you fired. But in real estate, that authenticity could be the thing that separates you from cookie cutter agents and gets you hired by buyers and sellers. 

That was Ryan Cecil’s experience. After getting fired for her social media content, she found that real estate agents who show their personality attract more clients. 

Her online marketing and community-building efforts have created a highly successful real estate trajectory, going from $5 million in sales to $16.8 million in just a few years. 

Ryan’s secret: being authentic, being relatable and pouring into her online community. But the community-building work shouldn’t end online, you need to do it in real life too. You also need to be visible in your market and active in your actual community so that you become the face of real estate in your area. 

How does Ryan infuse her content with personality and authenticity? What are some of the cool things she’s doing online and in her community? In this episode, the Louisville-based real estate powerhouse shares how she went from getting fired for social media to winning business because of it. 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• Personality with professionalism As real estate agents, we need to be authentic without losing our professionalism. How do we strike this delicate balance?
• Become a staple in your community  Social media is a great way to bring in business, but we’re missing a massive opportunity if we’re also not building relationships in real life. How do we pour into our communities? 
• How to win the trust of buyers and sellers Real estate agents are supposed to be reliable but not everyone is. What causes this and how can we be different?

In real estate, many agents who decide to build teams are focused on what the team will do for them. It’s often about using leverage for the team leader to achieve what they personally want. 

Maybe that’s why the industry has so many problems around perception and professionalism. 

What would happen if a leader built around the concept of how they impact others and focused on the “why” of their people? You get a solid culture, a ton of production, and an environment they’ll never want to leave. 

That’s what Erin Krueger built in Nashville. Her team is built so well that her 8 agents easily do the production of a team with 20 agents. What’s her secret? How did she find her way into the luxury market during covid? 

In this episode, the team leader and author of the new book Capture the Culture shares how she built such a great business. Erin also talks about her journey into real estate and the simple but highly effective ad that gets her luxury listings. 

If you treat your team right and create a great culture, your clients are going to feel it, and they’ll be clients for life. -Erin Krueger

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• Wear your positive pants  After losing both her parents to a car accident, Erin went through many challenges. What did she learn from them?
• A different way to recruit  Many team leaders don’t think of how they can impact their people. Why is this Erin’s first priority? 
• Collaboration not competition  Real estate agents can be competitive and that can kill the culture of a team. How do you get agents to support, help and mentor each other?
• How to attract luxury buyers How did Erin turn website hits in other states into luxury deals in Nashville?

Most businesses and entrepreneurs are laser focused on building brands that appeal to the consumer. They spend a ton of money on getting Instagram followers and going viral, but to no avail. 

What they don’t realize is that there’s a better (and less expensive) way to get in front of the consumer - and that’s through real estate agents. 

One relationship with a top producing agent in your city could be worth millions. Instead of trying to win consumers one-for-one, the right agent could lead you to their database of thousands of clients and customers. 

Industries like title, mortgage and home builders leverage this power and get a lot out of it. How do I become an agent ally? What do marketers and entrepreneurs get wrong about ROI? 

In today’s special replay episode, I’m sharing a recent conversation I had with videographer and Real Producers partner, AJ Kallas. I share the story of Real Producers, and talk about how to leverage the real estate agent community to grow your business. 

Many industries are missing the boat on saving consumer advertising dollars by spending money on getting real estate agents to connect them to their databases. -Remington Ramsey

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• The power of becoming an agent ally Could businesses save ad dollars by shifting what they spend to get in front of consumers and putting it towards the real estate community? 
• ROI = Reach Optimal Impact  In the marketing game, ROI is often tied to getting a specific amount of money back, but it doesn’t always work that way. Why do we need to reframe this and tie ROI to visibility and awareness instead? 
• A less painful path to entrepreneurship  Many aspiring business owners think getting a job is a waste of time, but could a job be the key to building a successful venture?

In real estate, agents wear many hats. We’re marketers, advisors, entrepreneurs, and salespeople, but one important role we tend to overlook is community builders. We’re in a unique position to influence and inspire people, using homeownership to close the wealth gap.

It’s easy to focus on what real estate can do for us, but we can’t lose sight of what it does for our communities. Through real estate ownership, many people have been able to change the trajectory of their lives and step into financial freedom. That’s why a real estate transaction has so much emotion attached to it. The more people we help achieve this dream, the better our communities will be. How do we impact and inspire the communities we serve? How do we leave a legacy that won’t ruin our children?

In this episode, I’m joined by Baton Rouge real estate agent, investor, philanthropist, and founder of Prime Properties, Richard Spears. He shares how one transaction changed his perspective on real estate and how he uses that experience to make a bigger impact.

Horses and human beings during a real estate transaction are a lot alike - they need to be handled with emotional intelligence. Purchasing or selling a home is a high stakes scenario with a lot of money and emotion on the line. 

Just like horses are sensitive to the emotions of their riders, consumers are sensitive to the emotions of their agent. 

Unfortunately, a lot of deals go south and people get hurt because agents lack the EQ required for things to go smoothly. In order to be great agents, we have to apply level-headedness to our transactions, and avoid showing strong emotions because it can ruin the transaction. 

Our guest has a horse farm and is a highly successful broker, and working with horses taught her a lot of real estate success. Brittney Pino started her own brokerage and earned $1 million in commissions as a single mom. 

What factors were key to her success? How do we increase our EQ? In this episode, she shares her story, why she bet on herself and started her brokerage, and what real estate agents need to implement to make more money. 

The life you’re living you’re choosing. If you don’t like it, you can make different choices. -Brittney Pino

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• How to get out of your comfort zone If you look at the stories of many accomplished people, success is birthed from having your back up against the wall. Is there a way to ignite that fire inside without hitting rock bottom?  
• Real estate clients are a lot like horses Emotional intelligence is key in real estate, and it’s something we can learn. How do we build up our EQ muscle?
• The secret to excellence  Why do we have to take care of our bodies first before we can be successful at anything?

“Invest in real estate, it’s the true path to wealth” they say. 

That’s not the whole story. 

True wealth doesn’t come from simply racking up assets, but by building business enterprises that produce passive income. 

So while buying up single-family, multi-family, short-term rentals and other investments is a big piece of the puzzle, that’s only step one. To fully experience the power of real estate, we have to take it a step further, and run those investments like a business. 

The challenge is: most people (even real estate agents) get so caught up in earning the next check and spending it that they don’t do what it takes to build wealth until it’s too late. 

How do we invest the right way? What’s the secret to success in real estate? 

In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur, investor and one of the most successful Real Producers publishers in the country, Nick Najjar. He shares how he’s been able to have so much success in business, and what people forget about building wealth. 

Investing in real estate doesn’t create true wealth, that’s only step 1. What actually creates wealth is acquiring properties and then running them like a business enterprise.  -Remington Ramsey

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• The secret to success is simple If anything holds us back in business, it’s letting our emotions get in the way of the reality of the situation. What emotions get in the way of what we need to do to succeed? 
• How to double down on what works In our real estate businesses there are two kinds of tasks - non-urgent fires that feel important and the work that creates the results we want. How do we focus on the latter?
• What it takes to actually create wealth (it’s not just investing) Real estate investing alone won’t create financial freedom. What do we need to add if we want to truly have wealth? 

Guest Bio

They publish the premier local publication for top producing Realtors in the St Louis area.

Over 100 episodes of the podcast, we’ve talked to people who have made it big in real estate. When you have enough of these conversations, certain patterns become clear. You realize that the most successful people are just different.

In real estate, it’s easy to get distracted by flashy opportunities, side projects, or things that seem more exciting than the work in front of us. But here’s the truth: every time you divert your attention away from what truly matters, you're sacrificing long-term success.

Shelley Cooley knows that feeling all too well. She started as a teacher, transitioned into real estate staging, and ultimately became a successful real estate agent. What made the difference? She stopped focusing on what she wasn’t doing and doubled down on what mattered most.

Are you spending time on things that truly grow your business, or are you getting caught up in distractions? Do you find yourself avoiding the hard tasks that actually move the needle? What if the real key to success is simply showing up, staying consistent, and prioritizing the work that serves you?

The truth is, success isn’t about doing everything—it’s about doing the right things. 

In this episode, team leader of The Cooley Team Shelley Cooley joins me to talk about eliminating distractions, the importance of focusing on the basics, and always tackling the hardest tasks first. We also talk about gratitude and why it matters even in the most difficult situations.

If you don’t make certain things a priority, you’re only letting yourself down. -Remington Ramsey

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

• How to shift towards gratitude Gratitude shifts your focus to what you have, even in tough times. How can shifting your focus to gratitude improve your mindset during challenges?
• The power of a good morning routine A consistent morning routine sets the tone for a productive and focused day. How can small changes to your morning routine improve your daily performance?
