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 power of trust, transparency, and long-term thinking
 - How to balance business success with real life

Big takeaway
 You are not in the business you think you are.
 You are in the people business—everything else is just the product.

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

What does a rock band have to do with real estate success? Everything.

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David sits down with Jeremy Barrett to break down a journey that most agents would never expect—from playing in bands across the country to building a real estate business and leading at a high level.

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.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why practicing hundreds of times is the real path to mastery
• The mindset shift from “me” to “we” that changes everything
• How failure, uncertainty, and risk shape long-term success
• Why top producers need systems, not just hustle
• How Jeremy went from musician to server to entrepreneur to team leader

Key takeaway:
 You can go fast alone…

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.

What does it actually take to build a $50M+ real estate team?

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David Nations shares the full journey — from getting licensed at the worst possible time (right before the 2008 crash) to building and scaling a $50M+ real estate business.

Growth Always Demands Alignment

Why direction matters more than speed

Growth is often celebrated.
 Alignment is rarely discussed.

In this episode, David sits down with Matt to unpack a truth most leaders don’t recognize until later in their journey: growth without alignment comes at a cost.

From living in constant fight-or-flight…
 to saying yes to opportunities while quietly saying no to relationships…
 to realizing that momentum doesn’t always mean progress…

This conversation explores what happens when success starts to outpace clarity.

They talk about:

• Why growth eventually exposes misalignment
• The hidden tradeoffs that come with saying yes to everything
• How small alignment issues compound over time
• Why focus becomes harder — not easier — as you grow
• And the difference between moving fast and moving in the right direction

This isn’t a tactical episode.
 It’s a reflective one.

If you’re building something — a business, a career, or a life — this conversation will challenge how you think about growth, focus, and direction.

🎧 Listen if you’re asking:

• “Am I growing… or just getting busier?”
• “Why does success feel heavier than I expected?”
• “What am I trading without realizing it?”

Most people talk about betting on themselves. Very few talk about what it actually looks like when it goes wrong.

In this episode of the We Attitude Podcast, David sits down with one of his closest friends to unpack a journey that didn’t follow a straight line—from the mailroom, to sales, to failed partnerships, to entrepreneurship, and eventually the boardroom.

This isn’t a highlight reel.

It’s a real conversation about:
- Trying before you feel ready
- Why failure isn’t the problem—fear of failure is
- The difference between being good at sales and actually running a business
- How networking becomes powerful when it’s intentional
- Why partners matter more than ideas
- And how confidence is built after action, not before

From junior hockey lessons and locker-room brotherhood to business setbacks, leadership growth, and learning to walk into rooms with purpose—this episode breaks down what betting on yourself really means.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, hesitant, or unsure of your next move—this conversation is for you.

Watch until the end for the mindset shift that separates people who talk about growth from those who actually experience it.

In this first podcast episode, David sits down with Chad Wilson from Keller Williams in the St. Louis / St. Charles area to unpack Chad’s journey from military service to real estate leadership. Chad shares how joining the Air National Guard at a young age and spending decades as an air traffic controller—both overseas and at Lambert—shaped his mindset around preparation, adaptability, and performing under pressure.

The conversation connects those lessons to real estate, covering Chad’s early experiences with rental properties, the transition into retail real estate, and how focusing on results, relationships, and “running the math” helped him build credibility with clients and builders alike. They also discuss hiring and leverage, learning through adversity, and how those principles continue to guide team growth as the industry evolves and AI begins to play a larger role.
