Garrett speaks directly to the agent who’s tired of pretending everything is fine. In a culture obsessed with performance and image—especially in real estate—Garrett challenges the belief that success requires perfection.
You’ll learn why choosing obedience to God over appearance isn’t just spiritually right—it’s strategically wise. With transparency and truth, Garrett shares how one toxic client nearly pulled him away from his family and how letting go of appearances helped him reclaim peace, obedience, and impact.
If you’re struggling with burnout, pressure, or the need to appear like you have it all together—this one is for you.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Obedience to God is more valuable than the applause of others
✅ You don't have to maintain a perfect image to succeed in real estate
✅ Real peace comes when your work aligns with your faith
✅ Authenticity builds more trust than performance ever could
✅ God’s favor matters more than clout in this industry
