    Why Most People Are Still Broke (Even When They’re Working Hard)

    Most people aren’t lazy. They’re busy. They’re grinding. Their days are full. And yet — their pipeline is empty. In Episode 372 of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan breaks down why so many agents and business owners stay broke, stressed, or stuck despite working hard, and why effort without direction doesn’t compound. This episode isn’t about motivation. It’s about execution, structure, and revenue-producing behavior. David walks through: Why being “busy” feels productive but doesn’t move incomeThe difference between running days and running a businessHow most agents confuse categories (referrals, social, past clients) with actual revenue actionsWhy hard work in the wrong direction still loses gamesThe simple math behind building a predictable pipelineWhy people avoid revenue-producing work — and what that avoidance costs themHow clarity is built through action, not waiting to feel readyIf you’ve been working hard but not seeing results — this episode will give you the mirror, the math, and the move you need to make next. This episode is brought to you by: KiTS Keep-in-Touch Systems Built to help real estate professionals stay consistently connected to their database and generate more repeat and referral business.

    The Questions That Define Exactly Who Survives the Next Decade in Real Estate

    The new year hype is gone — and what’s left is the truth. In this episode of The MindShare Podcast, David Greenspan doesn’t offer tactics, frameworks, or motivation. Instead, he puts listeners in front of a mirror with seven uncomfortable questions that expose where agents, brokerages, and the industry itself are drifting.

David unpacks: Who the real “enemy” of the industry will be in 10 yearsHow lowered standards quietly erode public trustThe behaviours that poison the well for everyoneWhat high performers do differently when nobody’s watchingThe emotional weight people keep carrying instead of confrontingWhy distractions often protect us from harder decisionsHow to define a successful day before looking at the numbers00:00 – Intro Why this episode isn’t hype, tactics, or answers 03:10 – Who Does the Industry Hate in 10 Years?

    January hits harder than most people expect.

This episode unpacks: Why Canada’s economy stalled instead of crashing — and why that grind is more dangerousHow social media and dopamine addiction are impacting mindset, behavior, and follow-throughThe collapse of trust, standards, and accountability — and what it’s doing to relationships and businessWhy happiness feels further away for both youth and adults, backed by real dataHow to conduct a meaningful year-end reflection that actually changes outcomesWhat to remove, reset, and recommit to heading into 2026This isn’t about hype, resolutions, or pretending everything is fine. It’s about clarity, alignment, and deciding what’s worth carrying forward — and what isn’t.
