In this episode of The Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I welcome back Evan Carmichael—entrepreneur, author, YouTube powerhouse, and global speaker—to share powerful insights on belief, content creation, and taking bold action.
Evan first joined us way back in Episode 241, before the world changed. Since then, his YouTube channel has exploded to over 4 million subscribers and hundreds of millions of views, and he's helped entrepreneurs and investors across the world grow their influence, impact, and income through content and consistency.
In this conversation, we unpack how to overcome limiting beliefs, surround yourself with the right people, and use platforms like YouTube strategically, not just for views, but for real business growth. Evan also shares a practical framework he calls the "Money 50", plus his approach to using podcasts and interviews to build the right relationships and scale faster.
If you're ready to take bold action, build belief, and start showing up more powerfully in business and life, this episode will give you the tools and mindset to do it.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
