In every business owner has been told to “trust your gut”—but few have a blueprint to do it. In this episode, Julie Goetzinger gives one. She recalls the early days of naming numbers in sales appointments, noticing the bird interrupting a shoot, intuitively predicting client decisions and realizing those weren’t coincidences but clues. She shares how she developed her intuitive muscles, built a business around them, and now teaches others how to do the same. This conversation is full of practical wisdom: how to distinguish between fear and true signal, how to translate intuitive nudges into action, and how to structure a business that honors your unique flow. If you’re ready to lead differently, this one’s for you.

What do interest rates, new construction deals, and podcast launch fears all have in common? They’re all shaping how people move… whether that’s into a new house or into the world of content creation.

In this November episode of Pods & Properties, Steph and Todd break down how buyers are really feeling after the latest Fed meeting, why so many people are still sitting on the sidelines, and why new construction is one of the most underrated opportunities in today’s market. They talk through when it’s smarter to buy at the beginning vs. the end of a development, how earnest money actually works, and what title insurance really does for you at closing.

Then they pivot to the podcasting side: Steph explains why not every show needs 50,000 downloads to be wildly effective, the three main reasons people start podcasts (hobby, solo expert, or business-to-business), and why five simple solo episodes can completely change your confidence behind the mic. They also chat about Riverside, repurposing episodes like a “digital business card,” and why action not perfection is the only way to beat the fear of putting yourself out there.

Whether you’re trying to decide if now is the right time to buy or the right time to finally launch that podcast, this episode will help you see the path forward and take your next step.
