This episode of The Richest Real Estate Agent Podcast is about what building a team actually looks like once you're in it.

Ben sits down with Carson Beier, Ty Corsie, and Ron Dickson to talk through how their teams are set up, what worked, what didn't, and what they would do differently if they had to start again. They cover buyer agents, admins, support roles, and how teams change as the market shifts.

But the conversation goes deeper than org charts.

They talk about burnout, holding on to too much control, and the mistake of stepping away from selling too early. They also get into family life, time, and how easy it is to build something that looks great on paper but ends up costing you more than you expected.

You'll hear different perspectives on leadership, hiring, and growth. Some of them even disagree, which is kind of the point. There isn't one "right" way to build a team. What works for one agent can fall apart for another if it doesn't fit who they are.

They also share the systems that helped them move forward, from referral strategies to social media to client follow-up. Nothing flashy. Just things that actually fit into a busy agent's life.

If you're building a team or thinking about it, this episode will help you see the trade-offs more clearly and make better decisions before you learn them the hard way.

This episode is for the agent who wants to build something big, but doesn't want to wake up one day and realize the cost was their family.

Ben and Rene talk through what happens when ambition takes over. When the business is growing, the numbers look good, and from the outside, it all makes sense. But at home, the pressure never shuts off. Work follows you through the door. You're there, but you're not really there.

They walk through Ben's path from survival mode into real estate, how that drive turned into control, and how "I'm doing this for us" slowly became the thing that pushed them apart. Rene shares what it's like being married to someone who never stops chasing the next win, and what changed when she finally stopped staying quiet.

This is not about choosing family instead of success. It's about learning how to build a real estate business that doesn't require sacrificing the people you're doing it for.

You'll hear about:

The hidden pressure ambitious agents bring home without noticing

Why more deals don't fix the feeling of never being done

How unclear expectations wreck family life in commission businesses

Why systems, hiring, and boundaries are not "nice to have"

What it actually means to build a business that serves your life

If you're driven, competitive, and used to pushing through everything, this episode might feel uncomfortably familiar. And useful.

What does it actually mean to be "rich" as a real estate agent?

In this episode, Ben sits down for an in-person interview with Matt Glen and Taylor Atkinson from the Kelowna Real Estate Podcast and goes way deeper than sales tactics or lead gen. He talks honestly about building a business that looks successful on paper, while his personal life was slowly falling apart.

Ben shares the moment his marriage almost ended, how that changed the way he views success, and why most agents are unknowingly building a job that owns them. They break down why hiring an assistant early matters, how energy affects growth, and why more money doesn't fix misalignment in your life or business.

You'll hear about:

● The difference between a busy agent and a real business owner

● Why doing everything yourself slowly burns you out

● The mindset shifts that actually lead to freedom

● How to scale without losing your marriage or family

● Simple systems that help your business run without you

If you're a real estate agent who wants growth, but not at the expense of your relationships or sanity, this episode is worth your time.
