In this episode of Your Limitless Leadership Podcast, Brent sits down with Patrick Carson, a realtor turned entrepreneur who built his career on one simple principle: pick up the phone. Patrick shares how his journey began in 2007 at the height of the Great Recessionโa time when most were running away from real estate, not diving into it.
From leasing director to business development leader to co-founder of The Advisors, Patrick's story is one of resilience, vision, and sheer work ethic. He didn't just rely on opportunity to come his wayโhe outworked everyone around him and created opportunities for himself.
Patrick dives into key leadership lessons learned along the way:
- Communication solves everything. Don't hide behind emails and textsโconversations move business forward.
- Outwork your competition. Success isn't about talent alone; it's about showing up consistently, even when it's hard.
- See your blind spots. Staying two steps ahead is what keeps you in the game.
- Bet on yourself. In real estate and in life, you either put in the work or you don't.
Patrick's mantra? He was too good to be poor. That mindset drove him to build habits of excellence, create meaningful relationships, and even learn from his mistakes. At the heart of it all is a competitive fire to achieve and the wisdom that opportunity, when paired with action, is power.
This is an episode about grit, growth, and the art of betting on yourself.
