  • The Real Deal AZ Ep #81 | Ryan's Kids Tell All

    In this episode of The Real Deal Podcast, host Janine Igliane and co-host Ryan Hatcher sit down with Ryan's kids Kami and Brayden Hatcher, for a conversation full of laughs, life lessons and heart. Get a behind the scenes look at what it's really like growing up with a dad who wears many hats — realtor, coach, and business owner — and how that shaped their work ethic, character, and commitment to service.

    Brayden shares about his upcoming mission trip to Honduras and his passion for serving others and building his testimony. Kami talks about balancing school, work, and nannying — and the time management skills she’s picked up along the way. Lessons from Ryan as a dad vs. coach, and the values he’s passed down: humility, excellence, and doing your job right the first time. The power of customer service, showing up on time, and creating a heart to serve.

    Whether you’re a parent, a young adult figuring out your path, or someone looking for inspiration, this episode will leave you encouraged and smiling.

    This week on The Real Deal, Janine and Ryan sit down with Dallin, the founder of Flamingo Pools, who shares his incredible journey from a broke 21-year-old with just a pole, net, and brush to running a 7-figure pool service company with over 15 employees.

  • The Real Deal AZ Ep 75 | From Burnout to Breakthrough With Whitney Wright

    In this powerful episode of The Real Deal, Janine and Ryan sit down with Whitney Wright—orthodontist, entrepreneur, and author of Men Under Pressure. Whitney shares his journey from growing up in Mesa, Arizona with a clear dream of becoming an orthodontist, to co-founding Risas Dental and Braces, a company that grew to 27 locations across four states.

    But behind the success was a silent battle. Whitney opens up about the emotional toll of unhealed childhood trauma, undiagnosed ADHD, and workaholism that led to severe burnout, mental health challenges, and ultimately, a total life reset. He takes us through the breaking point that led him to walk away from his career and begin a path of true healing.

    Today, he is focused on men’s mental health. He wrote Men Under Pressure to help others recognize the hidden weight they carry—and find strength on the other side of struggle. This episode is a must-listen for anyone carrying invisible weight. It’s raw, real, and deeply human—just like Whitney.

  • The Real Deal Ep 74 | Grit, Growth, & Real Estate, Angela Kiernan’s Journey

    In this episode, we sit down with Angela Kiernan—a real estate marketing specialist and title expert with Magnus Title. Angela has a story as powerful as her work ethic. Raised by her grandparents in the Midwest and finding out she was adopted at just 7 years old, Angela learned resilience early. By 16, she was living on her own, paying her own bills, and chasing a better life.


    In 2001, she packed up everything she owned and drove across the country to Arizona. A chance encounter in a bar where she bartended led to a life-changing opportunity in real estate, and she's never looked back. Angela opens up about her journey, what title and escrow really mean, and how she serves her clients with passion and precision.


    She also shares what makes a great real estate agent, tips for navigating the market, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Whether you're in real estate or just love a good underdog story, this one's for you.
