This episode is all about coaching—and no, not the whistle-blowing, gym-class kind. We’re talking about business coaching, accountability, taking action, and why skipping it might be what’s actually costing you.

We’re joined by the incredible Katie Weldon, aka Katie the Mortgage Lady, a loan originator, speaker, and coach who’s out here saving deals and souls one mortgage at a time.

We’re diving into: • Why coaching pays for itself (sometimes literally) • How to find the right coach for your vibe • Common excuses that are keeping agents stuck • The real ROI behind mentorship, masterminds, and group events • And yes… concert tickets, pizza ovens, and maybe a Louis Vuitton or two

Katie drops gems on getting aligned, staying accountable, and creating client experiences that feel unforgettable (not just “good enough”).

Whether you’ve got a coach or you’re just coaching yourself through YouTube videos—we got you.

Still out here winging it on walkthroughs, contracts, and tax exemptions? Time to leave that “struggle bunny” life behind. 🐰✌️

We’re joined by Jim Gaffney, Outside Sales Producing Branch Manager at Union Home Mortgage, aka the mortgage pro who actually picks up the phone and knows his stuff.

• Walkthrough disasters (and how to avoid being that agent)

• Seller concessions vs price cuts

• How to actually protect your clients—and your commission

• And the real reason you should call the lender (spoiler: it’s not optional)

This episode is for every agent who’s tired of chasing $300K buyers and ready to step into the world of million-dollar closings—without even leaving home.

We’re joined by Roberto Rodriguez of EXP Realty and the C5 team, who shares how he went from skeptical to superstar selling pre-construction condos in Miami to investors across Latin America. Learn how Spanish-speaking agents can tap into this market, how the deals are structured, and what makes this niche way less stressful (and way more profitable) than your average listing grind.

We talk:

• Zoom closings for million-dollar buyers
• Why Latin American investors are flooding the Miami market
• The Bentley building (yes, with a car elevator and private pool)
• Free daily coaching for Spanish-speaking agents
• Why 10% commissions aren’t just a myth
