    Flood Of Prosperity | Mindset Mastery w/ A.Z. Araujo

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I talk about something that many people spend their entire lives chasing but very few ever prepare themselves to handle. We all want growth. We all want bigger opportunities, more income, more influence, and more freedom. But what happens when those things actually arrive? This episode was recorded during a season of major expansion. As our new office in Old Town Scottsdale was being built out and teams were working behind the scenes to bring the vision to life, I found myself reflecting on how far the journey has come. Looking around at what we have built today reminded me of the conversations, struggles, and dreams I was documenting years ago when none of this existed yet. As I listened to old recordings from 2018, I noticed something interesting. Even back then, I was speaking about big goals and big visions. I was declaring things that seemed far beyond my current reality. The truth is I had no idea exactly how I was going to get there. What I did know was that if I continued preparing myself every day, eventually I would become the person capable of handling the opportunities that were coming. Most people focus on the rewards of success. They think about the income, the lifestyle, the flexibility, and the things money can provide. What often gets overlooked is the responsibility that comes with growth. Bigger opportunities require greater capacity. More success requires stronger leadership. Greater prosperity demands stronger discipline. The flood of prosperity sounds exciting, but it can be just as dangerous as a flood of challenges if you are not prepared. Success has destroyed relationships. Success has pulled people away from their families. Success has exposed weaknesses that were never addressed during the climb. Without the proper conditioning, the very thing someone prayed for can become the thing that overwhelms them. That is why preparation matters. Every challenge you face today is preparing you for something bigger tomorrow. The setbacks, the canceled deals, the difficult conversations, the disappointments, and the obstacles are all part of the conditioning process. They are teaching you how to think, how to respond, and how to lead at a higher level. One of the biggest lessons from this episode is the importance of appreciating where you are right now. Sometimes we become so focused on the next goal that we fail to recognize what we have already built. During several recent conversations with brokerage owners and industry leaders, I was reminded of something important. Many people are looking for what we have already created. The systems, the culture, the relationships, and the environment that exist today were once nothing more than a vision. It is easy to feel behind when you are surrounded by people who challenge you to grow. But sometimes you need to step back and realize how much progress has actually been made. Another major theme of this episode is documentation. Too many people forget where they started because they never take the time to record the journey. Whether it is journaling, recording videos, creating content, or sharing your experiences, documenting your life gives you the opportunity to look back and see the growth that would otherwise go unnoticed. Five years from now, the problems that seem overwhelming today will likely look very small. The goals that feel massive today may simply become your new normal. Your capacity will expand. Your confidence will grow. Your vision will become bigger. The key is to keep moving. Do not allow yourself to sit in frustration longer than necessary. Do not stay stuck in disappointment. Take action. Trust the process. Continue building consistency. At the end of the day, consistency is one of the greatest gifts we all possess. While many people search for special talents and unique abilities, the power to consistently make the right decisions is available to everyone. In a world filled with distractions, uncertainty, and inconsistency, the person who continues showing up eventually separates themselves from the crowd. The flood of prosperity is not reserved for a select few. It is available to those who prepare for it, grow into it, and stay committed long enough to receive it. The question is simple. When it arrives, will you be ready? Questions for Reflection What challenges am I facing right now that may actually be preparing me for a bigger opportunity in the future? If the level of success I want showed up tomorrow, would I be emotionally, mentally, and spiritually prepared to handle it? What can I start documenting today that will allow me to see my growth and progress five years from now? Notable Quotes "The flood of prosperity has also drowned many individuals because they could not handle that type of responsibility." "Consistency will get you everything you want." "The flood of prosperity is in your future. It's there, it's coming, and it's going to come in a massive way. Are you prepared?"

    Exposed By Your Enemy | Mindset Mastery with A.Z. Araujo

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I found myself reflecting on something that happened years ago that completely shifted the way I look at criticism, growth, and the stories we tell ourselves every single day. Sometimes we think the biggest obstacles in our life are other people, but the truth is many of the battles we are fighting started in our own mind long before anyone else ever said a word. I shared an email I received back in 2016 from another broker owner here in Phoenix. At the time, I took the message as disrespect. I took it as jealousy. I took it as someone trying to tear down what Carla and I were building. The email criticized the type of content we were posting and challenged me to explain more clearly how we were actually helping agents grow their business. Back then, that message fired me up in the wrong way. I wanted to prove him wrong. I wanted to push harder out of spite. I carried that chip on my shoulder for years. But as I look back at it now, I realize something different. He was not exposing a weakness I did not know existed. He was exposing thoughts I had already been telling myself every single day. That was the real lesson. The things that trigger us the most are usually connected to insecurities we have already repeated in our own mind thousands of times. When someone says something that lines up with our private self talk, we instantly make them the enemy instead of facing the root problem. I was already questioning whether I was capable of building a brokerage. I was already wondering if I had enough systems, enough structure, enough clarity, enough leadership. So when someone else mentioned it out loud, I reacted emotionally because it confirmed what I secretly believed about myself. I think so many people live this way without realizing it. You tell yourself you are awkward on camera. Then someone says your video seemed uncomfortable, and now they become the villain in your story. You tell yourself you are inconsistent. Then your spouse points out your lack of discipline, and now you feel attacked. You tell yourself you are not good enough at sales. Then one deal falls apart and suddenly it becomes proof that your fears were right all along. The issue is not always the criticism. The issue is the identity we have already created around ourselves before the criticism ever arrives. One of the biggest realizations I shared in this episode is that negative self talk creates hesitation, procrastination, fear, and avoidance. It slowly convinces you to stay invisible. You stop posting. You stop speaking. You stop growing. You stop trying because your mind has already decided the outcome before the work even begins. What changed my life was learning how to challenge those thoughts instead of repeating them. Instead of saying, "I am not a good communicator," I began telling myself that I am developing the ability to communicate powerfully every single day. Instead of saying, "I do not have systems," I started building them. Instead of saying, "I am awkward at training," I focused on becoming obsessed with helping agents grow. And eventually the identity changed because the repetition changed. The work backed up the belief. Today I can confidently say that what we do inside our company changes lives because I no longer question it every morning before walking into the office. I stopped building enemies out of people who were simply exposing areas where I needed to grow. I stopped using criticism as fuel for revenge and started using it as information for expansion. This episode is really about understanding that growth requires a shift in perspective. Sometimes the people who trigger you the most are actually revealing the exact area where your next level is waiting. The question is whether you are willing to look deeper instead of reacting emotionally. At the end of the day, your future is heavily influenced by the conversations you have with yourself every single day. Your words become your identity. Your identity shapes your behavior. And your behavior creates your results. So if you want a different life, start by changing the way you speak to yourself. Questions For Reflection What negative thought about yourself have you repeated so often that it has started to feel like truth? Is there someone in your life you have labeled as an enemy when they may actually be exposing an area where you need to grow? What would change in your business or life if you stopped defending your limitations and started solving them instead? Notable Quotes "The things that trigger us the most are usually the things we have already been telling ourselves every single day." "I was not fighting other people. I was fighting the thoughts I had about myself." "Your words become your identity. Your identity shapes your behavior. And your behavior creates your results."

    Change The Conversation | Mindset Mastery w/ A.Z. Araujo

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, we explore how your reality in business is shaped by the conversations you choose to have and the markets you choose to focus on. AZ Araujo breaks down the danger of getting stuck in one segment of buyers and how that limited exposure can distort your entire perspective of the industry. What feels like a difficult market is often just a narrow one. Many agents find themselves operating in a constant state of resistance, working with buyers who are stretching financially, hesitant to move forward, and quick to walk away over small changes. Over time, this creates the belief that every deal is hard, every client is difficult, and the market itself is the problem. But that belief is built on exposure to only a fraction of what is actually happening. The reality is that first time homebuyers make up only a small portion of the market, while the majority consists of repeat buyers and move up buyers who already understand the process and have resources available. These individuals are not being reached, not because they do not exist, but because the conversation is not being directed toward them. Most agents are speaking to the same audience in the same way, leaving a large segment of opportunity untouched. At AZ & Associates, the focus has always been on presenting opportunities, not just listings. The difference between struggling for deals and creating momentum often comes down to introducing a conversation that the client has never heard before. Many homeowners are unaware that they can leverage their equity, keep their current home as an investment, or utilize loan programs designed specifically for their situation. When those options are presented clearly, the entire dynamic of the relationship changes. Higher level clients approach challenges differently. Instead of walking away when obstacles arise, they look for solutions. They are conditioned to solve problems, adjust, and move forward. This creates a completely different experience for the agent, one that is built on progress rather than resistance. When you elevate your knowledge and expand your understanding of available products, your conversations begin to reflect that growth, and the clients you attract begin to shift as well. Burnout is often not a result of working too much, but of working in the wrong environment repeatedly. When every interaction feels like a battle, it drains your energy and reinforces the belief that success is difficult to achieve. By broadening your focus, deepening your knowledge, and reconnecting with your existing network, you position yourself to operate in a more aligned and productive space. Key Insights Shaping Your Reality Through Conversation: The type of clients you work with will determine how you perceive the market. If you only engage with one segment, your understanding becomes limited and skewed. The Missed Majority: First time homebuyers represent a small percentage of the market, yet most marketing is directed toward them. This leaves a large portion of opportunity untouched. Opportunity Over Information: Many potential clients already have the ability to move forward but lack awareness of their options. Introducing new possibilities is often the catalyst for action. Higher Level Problem Solving: Experienced buyers and business owners approach challenges with a solution oriented mindset, creating smoother and more productive transactions. Burnout Through Misalignment: Constant resistance in the same segment leads to exhaustion. Expanding your focus can create a more balanced and sustainable business. Questions to Reflect On What type of buyer have I been consistently attracting, and how has that shaped my belief about the market? Who in my current network already has the ability to move but has not been presented with the right opportunity? What conversations do I need to start having that would expand the level of clients I work with? Notable Quotes "If you are only talking to a specific buyer pool, your reality is going to be based on that." "First time homebuyers only make 21 percent of the market." "They do not say I cannot do it. They ask how long do I have to make it happen."

    REPEAT LEADS TO A THREE-PEAT | MINDSET MASTERY WITH A.Z. ARAUJO

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, we are looking at the momentum we are building as an organization and the specific patterns that separate elite producers from those who hit a ceiling. We recently celebrated some massive wins, including our very own Grecia winning Rookie of the Year for one of the largest associations in the country. She did under 15 million in sales in her first year. It is inspiring, but it also highlights a critical truth about growth. The jump from 1 million to 3 million is tough. The jump from 5 million to 10 million is even tougher. But the hardest jump for most agents is moving past the point where they are doing everything themselves. Most agents are redlining. They are working at 100 percent capacity just to keep their current business afloat, which means they do not have the mental space to think about what is next. They are too busy solving small problems on individual deals to see the bigger picture. That is where the concept of the three-peat comes in. It is not just about a single win. It is about building a repeatable, systematic process that allows you to win again and again without burning out. To get to that next level, you have to invest in your infrastructure before you see the full return. You have to buy back your time by bringing on the right personnel and implementing the right systems. Key Insights Growth requires a shift in how you use your revenue. If you are a 15 million dollar producer but you are still using the same staff and systems you had at 3 million, you are going to break. You cannot swim in deep waters with a shallow mindset. You have to stop viewing support as a cost and start seeing it as an investment in your sanity and your future. Many people avoid making these moves because they are afraid of the short term dip in profit. They think they can save money by doing it themselves. But what is the cost of a missed lead? What is the cost of forgetting to follow up with a client? One lost deal could have paid for a full time assistant for months. When you redline your engine every day, you are going to burn out before you ever reach the long game. Building a dynasty like we are doing here at AZ and Associates means focusing on what you are best at and delegating the rest. It means becoming a student of the game and staying intentional about your growth every single day. Questions to Reflect On Are you still running your business with the same systems you had when you were producing at a lower level Where are you redlining in your life right now that is preventing you from seeing the bottlenecks in your business What would your business look like if you focused only on your highest value tasks and let a team handle the rest Notable Quotes "How you use your revenues in your organization to give you back more time is where the magic actually happens." "If you are redlining on a consistent basis you are going to burn out your engine." "To lead others you have to lead yourself."

    MOVE OR IT WILL BE TAKEN | MINDSET MASTERY W/ A.Z. ARAUJO

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, we explore the transformative power of decisive action and the paralyzing nature of over-planning. AZ Araujo dives deep into the philosophy of "moving," even when the path ahead isn't perfectly clear. We often wait for the "right time" or the "perfect plan" to materialize, but in reality, the momentum required for elite success is only found through execution. Growth is rarely convenient and almost never feels "ready." Whether it is a new agent setting their first consultation just two weeks into the business or an established leader scaling an entire organization, the common thread among top producers is their willingness to move first and figure it out later. Many professionals get stuck in a loop of constant preparation—studying scripts, perfecting marketing, or waiting for financial certainty—while those who simply choose to "move" end up surpassing them by leaps and bounds. At AZ & Associates, we've learned that expansion comes with its fair share of challenges, but a positive outlook and a commitment to action ensure that things always work out as they should. You don't need to know every aspect of the business to start; you just need to put yourself in a position where you are forced to learn it. Key Insights The Trap of Over-Planning: Excessive planning can often be a form of procrastination. It creates a false sense of security while actually preventing the very movement necessary for growth. You cannot out-plan an obstacle you haven't faced yet. Abundance Follows Action: Drawing from a core principle, "whoever has will be given more." When you use the skills, time, and knowledge you currently possess by taking action, you are rewarded with more opportunities and deeper insight. If you fail to move, even what you have will begin to diminish. Leading Through Uncertainty: Success often requires investing in yourself and your business before it feels comfortable. Whether it's hiring staff, buying a URL, or opening a new location, waiting until you are "ready" usually means you've already missed the window. Developing Resilience: Your past experiences—both the wins and the tragedies—have prepared you for this moment. Rely on that history of survival to give you the confidence to take the next big step in your professional journey. Questions to Reflect On Are you currently using "planning" as an excuse to avoid taking a step that scares you? What is one area of your business where you have been hesitating, and what would happen if you simply decided to move on it today? How can you reframe a current "inconvenient" challenge as a necessary part of your next level of growth? Notable Quotes "Too much planning can discourage movement." "My job is just to move, and come in with that dedication that it's only a matter of time." "You'll be forced to learn it if you put yourself in that position." "Whoever has and moved on opportunities will be given more opportunities."

    IT'S HOW YOU DO ALL THINGS | Mindset Mastery w/ A.Z. Araujo

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I had one of those mornings that seems small on the surface but ends up hitting you right in the face with a bigger truth. I'm at the gym, finishing up my workout, and I realize I lost my AirPod case. Now this is not new for me. I leave things behind all the time. Normally I just retrace my steps and find it exactly where I left it. But this time, nothing. I checked every machine, every bench, everywhere I had been. It was gone. So I pull up Find My iPhone and start tracking it. It is telling me I am close, then far, then close again. Then I see it say it is moving. That is when I realize someone has it. I follow the signal around the gym, looking like I am on a mission, and finally I lock in. I slow down, I get intentional, and I start narrowing it down step by step. Warmer, warmer, warmer. Until I am standing right over the guy who has it. I ring it. I hear it. It is coming from him. I ask him if he found it. He says no. I ring it again. Still no. Then finally he pulls out two cases, mine and his, and tries to play it off like he thought it was his. Now here is the thing. That moment could have gone a lot of different ways. But what stuck with me was not the situation itself. It was what that little device represents in my life. That AirPod case is not just something I use. It is one of the most valuable tools I have. Not because of what it costs, but because of what I do with it. That is where everything changed for me. That is where the lesson really is. For years, I did not take responsibility for my growth. I did not see it as my job to improve myself as a man, as a husband, as a leader. I reacted to life. I blamed. I deflected. I carried this mindset that if someone pushed me, I would push back. And I was proud of that. That mentality cost me. It cost me peace. It cost me relationships. It almost cost me my life. And when I finally started to change, it came down to one realization. How you do one thing is how you do all things. That hit me hard. Because it forced me to look at everything. Not just my business. Not just my results. But how I showed up in every area of my life. When my marriage was not where it needed to be, I wanted to blame Carla. I wanted to look at other couples and feel like she should be doing more. But when I really sat back and audited myself, I saw the truth. I was not leading. I was not listening. I was not showing respect. I was not doing the things that would create the outcome I wanted. And the same thing shows up in business. Agents say their clients are emotional. Their clients do not respond. Their clients want discounts. But what if we flipped that? What if the real question is how are you showing up? Are you consistent? Are you building trust? Are you sharpening your craft? Are you respecting your own time? Because if you are not doing those things for yourself, you cannot expect others to do it for you. That is the shift. That is the perspective. You start to realize you are the common denominator. Every problem, every frustration, every pattern. You are there. And once you see that, everything changes. Because now the solution becomes clear. You stop blaming. You stop feeling entitled. You stop waiting. And you start doing the work. For me, that meant getting uncomfortable. Learning new things. Spending hours trying to figure things out. Feeling lost but staying in it anyway. Because I made a decision that I am going to be elite in everything I do. Not when it is easy. Not when I feel like it. Every single day. Because when your word becomes solid, when you can trust yourself to follow through no matter what, there is nothing you cannot build. That is the game. And it starts with taking ownership of everything. So as you go into your day, ask yourself where you are out of alignment. Where are you cutting corners? Where are you avoiding growth? Where are you blaming instead of owning? Because that is where the breakthrough is. The same way I had to slow down, lock in, and track that signal step by step, you have to do the same thing in your life. Get intentional. Get aware. Get honest. And then go to work. Questions to Reflect On Where in your life are you blaming others instead of taking full ownership of your results What patterns are showing up across your business, your relationships, and your personal habits What is one area you know you need to improve that you have been avoiding Notable Quotes "How you do one thing is how you do all things." "You are the common denominator in everything that is not working." "When your word becomes gold, there is nothing you cannot do."   Follow A.Z.

    PERSPECTIVE CHANGES EVERYTHING | Mindset Mastery w/ A.Z. Araujo

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I found myself reflecting on how easy it is to stay stuck in a version of life that we have simply accepted as truth. And the reality is, most of us are not lacking opportunity. We are lacking perspective. The moment that perspective shifts, everything changes. There have been moments in my life where I thought this is just how it is. This is how business works. This is how relationships feel. This is as far as I can go. And I believed it. I stood on it. I operated from it. But then something happens. Something exposes the truth. And when that truth shows up, you are faced with a decision. Stay the same or flip the switch. That is the moment that defines everything. The story of Paul hit me hard because he was not always Paul. He was Saul. A man with strong convictions, completely convinced he was right, even while he was doing damage. And that is what most people miss. Just because you are convinced does not mean you are correct. Your current results are a reflection of what you believe to be true. If you believe your business is hard, it will be. If you believe your marriage is broken, it will feel that way. If you believe you can only go so far, you will stop right there. That becomes your reality. Not because it is the truth, but because it is the truth you chose. But when you are exposed to something different, when you see what is actually possible, when you see people doing what you thought could not be done, that is your moment. That is where everything can change. That is where you flip the switch. I have lived this. I have seen it in my marriage. I have seen it in my business. I have seen it in how I treated myself and the people around me. Once I realized that the way I was showing up was creating the very limitations I was frustrated by, I had a choice. Go back to that version or step into something greater. And once you truly see it, going back is a decision. Not an accident. A decision. That is why I say it is ignorant to see the truth and still choose the same patterns. From that point forward, it is about staying in it. Fighting the good fight. That means showing up when it is uncomfortable. Showing up when it is repetitive. Showing up when it feels like nothing is working. Because that is where most people fall off. Not because they are incapable, but because they stop. Finishing the race means endurance. It means you keep going regardless of the ups and downs. You do not let one bad week define you. You do not let one slow month convince you that everything is falling apart. You keep moving. And keeping the faith is trusting that everything you are going through has a purpose. That even when it feels inconvenient or overwhelming, you are going to figure it out. That it is only a matter of time. This is where most people struggle. They let their emotions control their actions. They dim their own light. They start questioning everything they once believed in. But the truth is, you already know what to do. You have done it before. You have proven it before. So why go back? I am not going back to who I used to be. That version of me created limits, created dysfunction, created ceilings. Once I saw what was possible, once I saw how I was supposed to show up as a leader, as a husband, as a father, there was no going back. Does that mean I do not get challenged? No. It means I do not turn the switch off. Maybe it dims for a moment, but I turn it right back up. I show up again. That is the difference. At the end of the day, you have to ask yourself what version of you are you choosing to be. Because once you see the truth, once you see what is possible, there is no excuse to stay the same. Now the question becomes, are you ready to fight the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith? Questions to Reflect On What truth have you already been exposed to that you are still choosing to ignore? Where in your life are you operating from old beliefs that are no longer serving you? What would change immediately if you fully committed to not going back to your old version? Notable Quotes "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." "Your convictions are creating your current results whether you realize it or not." "Once you see the truth, going back is no longer confusion. It is a decision."   Follow A.Z.

    SHOW UP! | Mindset Mastery w/ A.Z. Araujo

    In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery… I was sitting there thinking about how fast time is moving. The first quarter is already gone. And I started asking myself a real question. Not what I want. Not what I hope for. But what have I already decided is done. As I was climbing Camelback this weekend, I caught myself thinking about hitting a billion in sales. And then it hit me. It is already done. That is no longer the question. Now the question is how we get to two. That is the shift. That is the difference. And most people never get there because they stay stuck in wanting. The Problem With Wanting I see it all the time. People want the car. They want the house. They want the business. They want the life. But they never think about the day after they get it. What happens when you finally achieve that goal you have been chasing for years? What are you showing up for then? Most people never get there because they never make the decision. They stay in this cycle of wanting, hoping, waiting for something to click. Waiting for the deal. Waiting for the opportunity. Waiting for something external to validate them. That moment never comes. The real shift happens when you stop wanting and you decide. The Flip Of The Switch I learned this by watching Carla. At first it was a want. She wanted to compete. She wanted to be on that stage. She wanted to earn her pro card. But the moment she said, I am going to get it, everything changed. Her habits changed. Her schedule changed. Her excuses disappeared. No babysitter. She figured it out. Kids at home. She brought them with her. Late at night. She showed up anyway. Early morning. She showed up anyway. There was no more negotiation. No more stories. No more waiting. That is the flip of the switch. And that is when everything starts aligning. The right people. The right opportunities. The right situations. Not because of luck, but because of conviction. Excuses Are The Delay On Your Life Most people are not lacking opportunity. They are lacking commitment. You do not show up because you are not feeling well. You do not show up because a deal fell through. You do not show up because someone said something that got under your skin. And every time you do that, you push your life further away from you. I watched Carla show up with a broken toe. I watched her show up when everything around her could have justified stopping. I even tried to throw her off at times. And it still did not matter. The next day she showed up. That is the difference. I Had To Face Myself There was a time where I was the problem. I would show up until things got hard. Until something went wrong. Until I felt uncomfortable. And then I would shut down. I blamed circumstances. I blamed people. I blamed situations. But the truth was simple. I was not showing up. And when I finally got tired of my own excuses, that is when everything changed. I decided that no matter what happens, I show up. Deals fall apart. I show up. People leave. I show up. Personal problems hit. I show up. Embarrassment. Fear. Doubt. I show up. That is it. Showing Up Changes Everything Showing up is not just about your business. It is about your health. It is about your family. It is about your mindset. It is about your standards. When you decide that nothing is going to take you off your path, everything about you changes. You still feel fear. You still have doubt. You still go through stress. But it no longer controls your actions. You move anyway. And when you do that consistently, your life starts to build in a completely different direction. Make The Decision Second quarter is here. If you are waiting for a sign, this is it. Stop wanting. Stop blaming. Stop sitting on the sidelines. Make the decision. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Not when something works out. Right now. Flip the switch and keep it on. Because the only difference between those winning and those still waiting is that one group decided they were not going to stop. Questions For Reflection Where in your life are you still operating from a place of wanting instead of deciding What excuse have you been using that is delaying the results you say you want If you committed to showing up no matter what for the next 90 days, what would your life look like Notable Quotes "Success is inevitable when you show up doing the right things day in and day out." "The flip happens when it goes from I want to I am getting it." "You do not stop doing what you are responsible for just because things are not going your way." Follow A.Z.

About

Do The Work | Mindset Mastery is an unfiltered dive into the life of a real estate entrepreneur. Conversations are real, raw and uncensored. This is not your "everything is sunshine" conversation. Our guests will not posture, BS, or pretend they have it all figured out. You will hear stories of tragedies, failures, and pain to their transformational journey of becoming a Badass Agent. This is Real Life, Real People, Real Estate.
