MFREE 107 Trailer # 4 with Ashley Garner: Can fun outside of work fuel focus inside of it?

Aloha, It’s Shelon "Hutch" Hutchinson here! If you’re enjoying 'The Multifamily Real Estate Experiment' podcast, please like, comment, and share our episodes to help us reach and inspire more people. Thank you for your support!

Quick questions. Real answers. No fluff.

In this segment, Hutch puts Ashley Garner in the 🔥 hot seat for a fast-paced Focus Round—and it’s everything but surface-level.

Ashley opens up on:

👉 His go-to outdoor escapes (yes, even rafting)

👉 The mindset shift that changed everything

👉 The real reason consistent communication matters more when things get tough

👉 What he wishes he knew way earlier

👉 And the underrated superpower behind his success

From leadership to taking action before you feel “ready,” this round gets personal and practical. Real estate makes a cameo, but this one's about how you show up when it counts.

You're gonna walk away thinking less about spreadsheets and more about:

"Am I waiting... or just not moving?"
