    Ep. 156 | Finale: The End of The DC Talks Podcast

    The time has come to hang up the mics for The DC Talks Podcast. When this show began back in 2023, the goal was simple. To create a space to share my perspective on real estate, how I view the world, and give you a more personal and unfiltered look into my life and thinking. Over the past three years, releasing an episode every week has been an incredible journey. Owen and I explored everything from conspiracy theories and trending political topics to uncomfortable conversations that sparked debate, all while educating and breaking down real estate in a way that felt real and honest. More than anything, this podcast gave me a voice and opened the door to meaningful dialogue. Some of those conversations led to new friendships, new clients, and new opportunities. Others challenged relationships along the way. But all of it was part of the process and I am grateful for every moment. As we head into 2026, this podcast will be paused while I shift focus toward appearing on other shows through my PR agency. This next chapter allows me to bring my thoughts and insights to new audiences, continue building our presence online, and keep educating people on real estate in a broader way. Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support has meant more than you know. I am looking forward to returning to the mic when the time is right. Until then, you can still find me on social media where I will be sharing short form content, and we will keep you posted on new podcasts and guest appearances. Have an amazing rest of your year.

    Ep. 155 | The Psychology Behind Real Estate Decisions

    Buying or selling a home should be exciting, but for many, it comes with a hidden weight. Even when the numbers make sense, the decisions feel heavy. Buyers freeze at the last second, even after getting approved. Sellers accept offers and immediately wonder if they made a mistake. It’s the silent fear that no one talks about, the fear of regret, of losing freedom, of choosing wrong. In this episode, we explore the psychology behind these fears and why real estate can feel so terrifying, even when logic is on your side. We break down what’s happening in the minds of buyers and sellers, and how emotions often outweigh facts. From worrying about mortgages to feeling nostalgic about a home, these fears are real and surprisingly universal. We dive into questions like • What drives buyer hesitation even when the perfect home appears • How social pressure and fear of making a mistake influence decisions • Why sellers feel regret or guilt after accepting an offer • The shared psychology of timing, control, and pride in real estate • How emotions can outweigh numbers in both buying and selling If you’ve ever wondered why committing to a home feels so hard, this episode gives you insight, perspective, and a deeper understanding of the silent fears that shape the market.

    Ep. 154: Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays? Christmas Has Become Woke

    Christmas is here, but something feels different. The lights shine bright, the music plays, and sales are bigger than ever, yet the meaning feels thinner. Somewhere along the way, God quietly left the conversation. We tiptoe around saying ‘Merry Christmas,’ avoid mentioning Jesus, and have traded the foundation of the holiday for branding and marketing. In this episode, we explore how a faith-centered holiday became a commercial season. We ask why talking about Jesus feels uncomfortable, why “Happy Holidays” has replaced “Merry Christmas,” and how traditions and family celebrations are changing without the spiritual backbone. We also dive into the bigger picture, how the dilution of Christmas reflects broader shifts in culture, faith, and public life. We talk about: • How Christmas shifted from faith to commerce • Why religious identity feels sidelined in modern culture • The impact on family traditions, celebrations, and the meaning of the season • Whether the spiritual side of Christmas is being lost or simply forgotten If you’ve noticed Christmas feeling emptier, this episode offers insight into the cultural and spiritual shifts shaping the holiday today. Subscribe for more conversations on faith, culture, and tradition, and share your thoughts, do you miss the spiritual side of Christmas?

    Ep. 153 | GTA Housing Market Shifts: Condos Slow, Prices Fall, & Buyers Gain Power

    The GTA real estate market is showing signs of change as we wrap up the year. Sales in November dropped nearly 16 percent compared to last year, with just over 5,000 homes changing hands. Meanwhile, inventory climbed past 24,500 listings, giving buyers more choice and putting new pressure on sellers. The average home price now sits just over 1.039 million, about 6 percent lower than last year. Condos saw the biggest slowdown with sales down 20 percent, although prices only dipped slightly, and homes are taking longer to sell, with days on market climbing to 30. Overall, the market is shifting toward buyers as we head into the new year. In this episode, we break down what these numbers mean for buyers and sellers right now. We discuss how the current slowdown is creating opportunities for buyers to negotiate and take their time, whether condos present new entry points for first-time homeowners, and how rising inventory is changing the dynamic across the GTA. For sellers, we cover strategies to stand out in a more competitive market, how to manage pricing expectations, and the tactics that can still attract strong offers despite longer selling timelines. You’ll discover: • Why buyers are gaining more leverage in today’s GTA market • How rising inventory and slower sales are affecting pricing and strategy • Opportunities for first-time buyers and condo purchasers • How sellers can adjust their approach to stand out and protect their price • What trends are shaping the market heading into the new year If you’re buying or selling, this episode gives you the context and insights you need to make smart decisions in a shifting market.

    Ep. 152 | Why Victimhood Is Becoming the New Social Currency

    We’re living in a time where victimhood isn’t just common, it’s often celebrated. Everywhere you look, people are rewarded more for their struggles than their solutions. But how did we get here? And what does it say about our culture, our mindset, and the way we show up in real life? In this episode, we explore the rise of the “victim era” and why so many people feel the need to be seen as hurt, wronged, or struggling just to feel validated. We break down how social media fuels this behavior, why pain performs better than progress online, and how outrage and self-pity have become a form of social currency. We also talk about the real-world impact, from personal growth to the workplace to the real estate industry, where excuses often replace accountability and stagnation replaces improvement. This conversation digs into the difference between genuine vulnerability and performative victimhood, why accountability feels threatening to some people, and how a victim mindset quietly destroys long-term results. Most importantly, we talk about what it looks like to shift out of that mentality, take ownership, and become the creator of your own life instead of the narrator of your struggles. In this episode, you’ll hear us unpack: •  Why victimhood has become socially rewarded in today’s culture • How social media turns pain into content and outrage into attention • The rise of “struggle as a brand” and why it grows faster than real solutions • How blame shows up in real life and in industries like real estate • The difference between real hardship and a victim loop • Why accountability feels uncomfortable but leads to growth • How to flip from victim to creator and rebuild a mindset of resilience Tune in, subscribe, and let us know in the comments: why do you think victimhood has become so profitable today?

    Ep. 150 | Degeneracy as a Business Model: Who’s Cashing In on Our Impulses

    We live in a world where impulse often rules, and companies are cashing in on it. From gambling to OnlyFans to the endless scroll of TikTok, vice has become normalized.
