In this episode, we break down key wins and losses from real estate investing in a tough market. We cover using debt to buy cash-flowing duplexes, a costly mistake from buying a property with the utilities off, and why optimizing people and processes matters more when deals slow down. We also discuss upgrading your time, making hard decisions like saying no, the power of networking and private money, and how to manage discouragement from missed deals, unrealistic sellers, and low inventory.

In this episode, Seth sits down with real estate pro and entrepreneur Garrett Maroon to talk about what it really looks like to win at work without losing at home. Garrett has sold more than 650 homes and $150M in volume by referral only, built a thriving business without cold calls or massive ad spend, and now helps other agents do the same.

We dig into the core ideas behind his upcoming book The Balanced Breakthrough—how agents and entrepreneurs drift into burnout, what it takes to restore health to your family life, and how fixing your mindset and business model can actually free up more time for what matters most. Garrett shares practical, battle-tested strategies for building a sustainable, relationship-driven business that supports your life instead of consuming it.

You’ll also hear about Garrett’s work with The 2:10 Collective, his journey hosting The Faithful Agent Podcast, and a powerful “Lil’ Nugget” you can apply to your business development today. If you’re an investor, agent, or entrepreneur who feels stretched too thin, this conversation will help you start designing a business that serves your values—not the other way around.

Garrett’s Li’l Nugget:

Trust Christ first. Business isn’t a me thing—it’s a we thing. Your spouse’s intuition is often God’s way of giving you wisdom and protection, so listen to it. The choices you make in business don’t just impact you; they impact your spouse, your family, and the life you’re building together. Remember, you’re a team, and every decision is shared.
