The Mindful Agent

I want to talk about something that comes up every January, and honestly, something I’ve stopped buying into over the years. New Year’s resolutions.

In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I share why I don’t set goals the way most people do, and what’s actua...

“You’re standing on a bridge watching yourself go by.”

It sounds poetic… until you actually try it. Then it becomes a blueprint for emo...

Too many agents spend their energy worrying about interest rates, the economy, or the market—but none of that sells a home or serves a client. In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I share why I’ve stopped letting fear and uncertainty run the show, and how I’ve found joy in the grind instead.

In this episode, I share one of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve ever had in real estate—and in life—what I call the “Deathbed Calendar.”

Inspired by Robin Sharma’s The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, the “deathbed mentality” is about living each day with clarity and purpose. For me, it meant turning my calendar into more than a productivity tool—it became a mirror of my values.
