Forget the fluff—this conversation dives into the core habits that make agents unstoppable. From spending wisely to maintaining laser-focused consistency, they reveal the systems and processes that separate the good from the great.

But it's not all about numbers and strategies. Courtney and Shawn talk about navigating the stress of the business and how the best agents stay cool under pressure while spotting opportunities for improvement along the way. They dig deep into creating a psychologically safe environment where teams can thrive, and how leading with empathy and vulnerability can drive performance and success.

They also open up about embracing imperfection and the power of personal development. Success isn’t a cookie-cutter formula—it’s about recognizing your flaws, doubling down on growth, and aligning your strategies with who you truly are. Through candid discussions on coaching, mentorship, and self-awareness, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you approach real estate and life.

Whether you’re a seasoned agent or just starting out, the journey to success is unique—and Shawn and Courtney have the actionable insights to help you take yours to the next level.
