"Real estate is not my purpose. It never will be. My purpose is to serve, love, and impact people. Real estate is just a platform to do it." — Sam Gray
What does it really take to not just survive, but thrive as a real estate professional in Music City, U.S.A.?
In this uplifting episode of the Real Estate Mailbag Podcast, hosts Angie Lawless, Brandon Miller, and Steve Morris sit down with Jaylon Patton (Compass), Marti Huntington (Keller Williams), and Sam Gray (Compass) — three of Nashville's leading young professionals — to talk about success, resilience, and what it means to stay young at heart in a fast-moving industry.
Together, they explore how personal values, purpose, and community service shape not only their businesses but also their lives. From mentorship to mindset, from AI to authenticity, these agents share the tools and philosophies that keep them grounded, motivated, and connected.
While each journey is unique, a common thread emerges: mentorship matters, curiosity fuels growth, and community is everything. Listeners will also hear how these agents are leaning into new technologies — including AI — not as a replacement for the human touch, but as a way to enhance it.
So whether you're a brand-new agent finding your footing or a seasoned pro who's young at heart, this episode offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that success in real estate starts with purpose.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
