Special Live Episode!

This week, Ed & Ken hit the stage for a fully live recording of the Mini Podcast, and it might just be the most honest, emotional, and inspiring episode we’ve ever released.

In this raw, unfiltered session, Ed opens up about where “Charge the Storm” comes from, how he’s handling one of the toughest battles of his life, and why alignment matters more than anything in business and in family. We dive into discipline, purpose, burnout, the “disease of more,” and what it really means to operate at a high level without losing yourself along the way.

You’ll hear:

Why some people stay stuck in their storm — and how to run straight through yours

What strategic internal alignment actually looks like

How discipline shows up in tiny daily habits

Why real success can never cost you your family

The one message Ed wants every person in the room to take home

This episode was recorded live in front of an incredible audience, and now we’re bringing that energy straight to you.

If you ever needed a push… this is the episode.

Ken and Ed go deep on one of the most powerful ideas in business and life: your identity shapes your reality.

From the beliefs you picked up at the dinner table to the “echoes” of past criticism still bouncing around your head — the stories you tell yourself determine how you show up every day.

They dive into:

Why “I am” statements rewire your mindset and habits

How your early experiences program your default patterns

The difference between wanting to quit and becoming something new

The Four Agreements that bring peace, focus, and growth

Four simple action items agents can do every week to win more business

Plus: Ken shares his new Instagram handle @KJ.TheCloser, and they talk about their Nov 10 event in Malvern featuring top agent Mike Cianci — a can’t-miss session for Realtors serious about growth.

Ken and Ed are back from Miami with one clear message: stop playing it safe.

This episode breaks down the real takeaways from the top agents in the country, from how they think about leads and growth to what it means to “go to failure” and actually play to win.

They dig into:

Why most agents are playing not to lose instead of playing to win

How to simplify your focus: just get a lead today

The “dream everyone can fit in” leadership principle

How to build predictable momentum through consistency

Plus: Ken shares details on the upcoming November 10th live training in Wayne, PA, where you’ll build your 90-day GPS and map your 7 key referral partners.

This week, Ken Jordan and Ed Fordyce unpack one of the most universal challenges in business and life — fear.

Ken opens up about his tendency to catastrophize future outcomes (“What if I lose it all?”), while Ed offers a perspective shift: fear isn’t bad — if you use it right.

They break down:

The difference between healthy fear and toxic fear

How to use fear as a short-term motivator — not a permanent mindset

Practical ways to “turn it off” when stress becomes exhaustion

Why we make up tragedies that never happen

How to rewire your thinking to replace fear with focus

Mentioned in this episode:

Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself — Dr. Joe Dispenza

Average Sucks — Michael Bernoff

The AI Edge — Jeb Blunt

Takeaway:

If fear sparks action, it’s a tool.
If it keeps you stuck, it’s time to rewire the story.

Upcoming Event:

Ed will be hosting a live event on November 10th (1–3 PM in Malvern, PA) — a real, raw workshop for single agents earning under $120K/year who want to grow without the “guru” fluff.

In this episode of the Ed & Ken Mini Podcast, Ken Jordan and Ed Fordyce dig into one of the biggest real estate headlines of the year — Zillow’s new partnership with ChatGPT — and what it really means for agents.

Ken and Ed explore how AI is reshaping the industry and why the best agents won’t just adopt technology, but adapt their business models around it.

They also touch on:

Fear vs. faith — and how mindset shapes your future

Why AI won’t replace agents who master human connection

How to use ChatGPT as an employee, not a gimmick

Why real estate’s biggest “code of ethics violation” might be the industry itself

Ed’s coaching challenge to help 20 agents hit six figures

This one is a must-watch for any agent wondering how to stay relevant — and human — in an AI-driven world.

Books mentioned: AI Edge by Jeb Blunt, Fanatical Prospecting
Action step: Treat AI like a team member — not a threat.

In this episode, Ed and Ken unpack one of life’s most practical truths: if you choose what’s easy, life gets hard, but if you choose what’s hard, life gets easy. They make it real by applying it to relationships, business development, and personal discipline. From avoiding quiet suffering to building habits that last, this is a candid look at what it takes to grow when comfort keeps calling. Ed also shares a personal health update, and why preparation, not motivation, is what makes you steady when life shows up.

In this episode of the Ed & Ken Mini Podcast, Ed Fordyce and Ken Jordan dig into two powerful frameworks for growth: The Slight Edge and U Squared. Is the “quantum leap” real—or is momentum built through small, consistent actions the true path to success?

Ken challenges the myth of the quantum leap and shares how mismanaged expectations can stall production, while Ed offers counterpoints from his own experience with business, fitness, and real estate coaching.

They explore:

The myth (and reality) of the quantum leap

Why momentum is the ultimate multiplier

How new vs. experienced agents view mastery

Why massive action (done right) trumps overthinking

Lessons from open houses, recruiting, and production plateaus

Stick around to the end where Ken shares his action step of the week.
