🎙️ About the Podcast
Take It and Run is the podcast for ambitious professionals—especially real estate agents—who want practical strategies they can implement immediately. Each episode delivers mindset shifts, frameworks, and real-world insights to help you move from thinking about it… to doing it.
In this episode of Take It and Run, Kristi Jencks and Kelcie Dowd sit down with Mike Renick — a nearly 70-year-old real estate agent, former GM executive, and full‑blown AI innovator — to uncover how he’s using artificial intelligence to completely redefine the way real estate agents manage time, create content, and nurture leads.
Mike shares his journey from corporate tech leader to Florida Realtor, and how embracing AI has given him something every agent wants: more time, more consistency, and more capacity to build real human relationships.
If you’ve ever said, “I’m too old for tech,” “AI feels overwhelming,” or “I don’t even know where to start,” this episode will give you the mindset, tools, and practical steps to begin. From content automation to avatar videos to smarter lead follow‑up, Mike shows exactly how he built a business that truly runs with him — not on him.
Whether you're a new agent curious about AI or a seasoned pro wanting to scale without burnout, you’ll walk away inspired and equipped to take your next step forward.
