The We Attitude Podcast

What does it take to become a leader?

In this special episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David sits down with his son Dylan for a conversation that goes far beyond hockey, college, and career success.

From winning a state championship to giving his high school commencement speech, serving as fraternity president, managing a multi-million-dollar renovation project, and working his way from cleaning floors to becoming a general manager, Dylan shares the lessons he's learned about leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and personal growth.

Along the way, David and Dylan discuss the importance of embracing difficult challenges, getting comfortable outside your comfort zone, building meaningful relationships, and understanding that success is rarely about individual achievement. It's about the people around you and the impact you have on them.

This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't a title. It's a mindset. The best leaders understand that no role is too small, no challenge is beneath them, and no one succeeds alone.

Whether you're a student, business owner, entrepreneur, parent, or someone trying to take the next step in your life, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about success, influence, and what it means to be a great teammate.

In This Episode:

✔ Leadership lessons from sports and college
 ✔ Why every role on a team matters
 ✔ The value of getting uncomfortable
 ✔ How to build influence and earn trust
 ✔ Learning to delegate and develop others
 ✔ The mindset required for long-term success
 ✔ Why great teammates become great leaders

What if the key to growing your business wasn’t working harder, but learning how to let go?

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David Brosseau sits down with longtime friend and business owner Scott to unpack what it really takes to build something that lasts.

From a CPA buying an auto shop with zero mechanical experience to building a business that services over 1,000 cars a month, this conversation is packed with real lessons on leadership, trust, and getting out of your own way.

They dive into why most entrepreneurs hit a ceiling, how culture beats competition, and why taking care of your people might be the most profitable decision you can make.

If you’re building a business, leading a team, or trying to grow without burning out, this one hits.

What you will learn
 - Why you don’t need to be the expert to build a successful business
 - The real reason most people never scale
 - How to create a culture people never want to leave
 - Why working more hours is not the answer to growth

The real estate industry is louder than ever right now.

New partnerships. New platforms. Endless opinions.
 And if you’re not careful… all that noise will distract you from the one thing that actually matters.

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David breaks down what’s really going on—and more importantly, what you should be focusing on instead.

Because at the end of the day, success isn’t about reacting to every headline… it’s about controlling what you can, staying disciplined, and helping your clients make the best decisions possible.

There’s always a cost.
 You either pay with discipline now… or regret later.

If you’ve been feeling distracted, stuck, or overwhelmed by everything happening in the market—this one is for you.

In this episode:

•  What all the recent industry changes actually mean 
•  Why “noise” is the biggest threat to your growth 
•  The importance of disclosure and guiding your clients 
•  Discipline vs. regret (and the cost of both) 
•  How to refocus on what truly moves your business forward

But this isn’t just a story…

This is about discipline, repetition, teamwork, and the truth most people avoid:
 You don’t succeed alone.

If you’re a real estate agent, entrepreneur, or someone chasing growth, this conversation will challenge how you think about practice, consistency, and what it actually takes to win long-term.

Success in real estate rarely follows a straight line.

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, we sit down with Clayton Cobler and Nathan Pfitzer, two agents whose journeys into the industry couldn’t have been more different.

One started his career working inside the St. Louis Cardinals clubhouse, learning firsthand what elite performers do behind the scenes. The other began in the legal world, navigating law firms and searching for the right career path before discovering real estate.

Despite their different starting points, both built successful businesses by focusing on the same core principles:
 • elite service
 • coaching and mentorship
 • building strong relationships
 • hiring the right people
 • long-term vision and growth

In this conversation we explore the lessons they learned from sports, law, and business—and how those experiences shaped the way they serve clients and build their teams today.

We also dive into topics like leadership, accountability, building a real estate team, long-term career planning, and the growing impact of AI in the industry.

Whether you're a new agent, an experienced professional, or someone interested in entrepreneurship, this episode offers valuable insights on building a business that lasts.

Most people think success comes from talent.

In reality… it usually starts with something going wrong.

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David sits down with Susan to talk about the unexpected path that led her into real estate — including getting fired from her job, losing money to a real estate “guru,” and discovering the power of personal development.

What started as a temporary job quickly turned into a completely different life trajectory.

They dive into:

• The mentor question she’s still thinking about a year later
• Why most people avoid identifying their real “why”
• The uncomfortable truth about accountability and coaching
• Why personal development changed everything
• How small adjustments create massive results
• Why many real estate agents struggle with growth
• The mindset shift that changed her entire career

And toward the end of the conversation, Susan shares a goal that surprised even her…

Her plan to travel the world alone.

Not someday.

But within the next few years.

This conversation is about far more than real estate — it's about growth, freedom, and the courage to pursue the life you actually want.

If you're building a business, chasing growth, or trying to figure out what drives you, this episode will challenge the way you think about success.
