In this raw and riveting episode of R.E.A.L. Real Estate Agent Life, we sit down with Scott Botelho, a former correctional officer turned million-dollar real estate producer and transformational leader.
Scott takes us on a rollercoaster journey — from working inside a prison at 19, building a network marketing empire, and battling a hidden addiction… to completely rebuilding his life, hitting rock bottom, and rising to become the #1 RE/MAX agent in Massachusetts and a top team leader with LPT Realty.
🔥 You’ll hear:
- The mindset shift that saved Scott’s life
- How network marketing introduced him to Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, and personal development
- Why real estate is really about lead generation, not houses
- What it takes to build a business that runs on referrals and repeat clients
- His vulnerable battle with addiction and the turning point that led to 14 years of sobriety
- What he wishes every young agent and team leader knew before they hit burnout
Scott’s story is proof that rock bottom can be the start of a legacy. Whether you’re an aspiring agent, a struggling team leader, or just someone needing hope, this episode will light a fire in you.
