For 12 years, Brock taught physical education, coached football and baseball for middle and high school, and later became an assistant principal. While he loved helping and coaching the kids, he soon realized that he wanted more for his family. In an effort to live his best life and provide for his loved ones, he went to real estate school and later opened his own brokerage. Soon after, he discovered that he could grow with the support of others, so he joined a national brand.

In 2019, Brock found a way to offer more for his family and his team, so he headed to one of the Real Estate companies based in North Carolina. His Real Estate career has given him the opportunity to use his coaching skills that he learned while teaching. He is a visionary, always striving to help those around him help themselves. His passion lies in helping others, whether it is his family, his team, or his clients. He takes pride in serving others and does that by taking the time to listen to their needs and their own "why's." Recognizing one's personality type as well as their love language helps him better communicate, and he finds that to be one of the most important things he can do to improve all of his relationships.

In this episode, we dive deep on: 

• How he transitioned from Education to Property Management to Real Estate - and then Coaching 
• How to "fight" for what's important to you when there is little 
• Lessons from hitting rock bottom 
• The "Four F's"
• Brock's favorite Books and Podcasts

This episode provides listeners with an overview of Mike's course, "15 Days to a Better You".   

One thing I've learned working with high-performers from all walks of life is that, contrary to what we've been told, GOALS ARE OVERRATED.

Do they have their place? 

Absolutely: in fact, we use/leverage them as part of the 15 Days Course. 

More than that, though - the 15 Days Course Helps you BUILD SYSTEMS.

SYSTEMS TO HELP YOU BUILD A BETTER LIFE.

This course is designed to:

• Help you cultivate new mindsets and mental models
• Create systems for measuring/tracking your progress 
• Discover opportunities with outsized ROI
• Cultivate a few habits/routines that you will continue past the end of this course - and compound with effect 

Every day, you're going to have one lesson, combined with a short reflective assignment. Each day also has a Guided Meditation designed to cultivate learning outcomes/mindsets and a recommended structure for Journaling/reflecting. As you'll learn - "stacking" these positive habits with one another will compound the positive effects...
