In this episode of Finding Alignment, host Megan Romine sits down with Juan Carlos Barreneche, founder of Goldbar Staffing and one of the real estate industry’s fastest-rising entrepreneurs, for a conversation about freedom, leadership, and building a business that truly works for you.

Juan’s journey started far from entrepreneurship. A pre-med student turned real estate agent, he traded a future in medicine for a career in real estate after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. Within just a few years, he scaled his team to over $100 million in annual sales, not by working harder, but by learning how to hire, delegate, and lead.

After realizing his passion wasn’t just selling homes but empowering others to grow, Juan pivoted into coaching and staffing, launching Goldbar Staffing, a company that now helps top-producing real estate teams and entrepreneurs scale their systems and hire exceptional talent.

Megan and Juan unpack the mindset and mechanics behind that shift from the fear of letting go to the freedom that comes from trust, systems, and alignment. They dive deep into:

• Why perfectionism kills scalability (and what to do instead)
• How to identify your hourly rate and protect it
• When to hire your first assistant or virtual staff
• How to build systems that make your team better than you
• Why true leadership means developing people who might outgrow you

Juan also shares how he continues to earn passive income through referral systems, why building culture is more valuable than building control, and the fulfillment he’s found in helping agents transform their careers and their lives.

This conversation is packed with clarity, candor, and strategy for anyone ready to shift from solopreneur to scalable success. Whether you’re an agent, team leader, or entrepreneur, this episode will challenge how you think about growth, freedom, and what it means to operate in full alignment.

Listen if you’re:

• A real estate agent or entrepreneur ready to scale your business
• Struggling to delegate and trust your team
• Building systems for freedom, not just profit
• Seeking fulfillment and alignment in your next chapter
