Realtors basically light money on fire every single month… and then pretend it’s “investing.” 🤦♂️
In this podcast, I’m breaking down the biggest money mistakes Realtors make and showing you what to spend on instead if you actually want ROI.
If you’re a Realtor wondering why you never seem to get ahead, it’s probably not your income—it’s where your money is going.
Let’s be real - spending money is not the same thing as investing money. In this episode, I’m calling out the dumbest things agents waste cash on, and showing you what to do instead if you actually want ROI.
I’ve been guilty of it myself. Early in my career, I blew thousands on Trulia leads, fancy mailers, and tools I never logged into. You name it, I wasted money on it. The problem isn’t just the money - it’s the missed opportunity to put those dollars to work in smarter ways that actually grow your business.
Here’s what I cover inside this episode:
- Why buying leads from Zillow/Realtor.com is a terrible move for most agents
- The difference between ego marketing (billboards, bus benches, glossy magazines) vs. what actually gets you clients
- The truth about those expensive IDX websites nobody visits
- The death by $49/month subscriptions (and how to stop bleeding cash)
- How to know if your spend is actually an investment or just buying comfort
This isn’t just about saving money - it’s about redirecting it toward the things that actually move the needle: content, systems, and people.
So if you’ve ever wondered why you’re not getting ahead financially in real estate… this episode is your wake-up call.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
