    The Jimmy John's Business Model Every Real Estate Agent Needs to Hear w/ Jeremy Larkin pt 2 | Ep 52

    Jeremy Larkin is back for Part 2 and this one is packed. He opens up three physical script binders on camera, shares how he hired a coach just two months into his career, and makes one of the most compelling cases you will hear for why real estate agents need to stop thinking like realtors and start thinking like business owners. He uses Jimmy John's as the analogy, and once you hear it, you will not forget it. He also gets into the coaching programs he is running now, including the Made for More Collective for agents already selling 24 or more homes a year who are experiencing what he calls the consequences of success, and a new group called Ascent launching soon for agents who are ready to move up from 3 to 12 deals a year into real production. Jeremy also shares how he manages his energy across back to back high demand days, what two completely separate coaches told him on the same morning without knowing each other existed, and the single best piece of advice he could give himself 20 years ago if he could go back. He closes with the simplest truth in the business, straight from Tom Ferry: we are in a talk to people business.

    Stop Chasing Deals. Start Building a Business w/ Jeremy Larkin pt. 1 | Ep 51

    Jeremy Larkin has been selling real estate in St. George, Utah for nearly 21 years, closed over 2,200 transactions, and built one of the most recognized teams in Southern Utah. But he started just like most agents do, not knowing what he was getting into, selling six houses in his first year, and figuring it out as he went. In Part 1 of this conversation, Jeremy shares what actually changed his trajectory from six deals to twenty to 161 in a single year. He talks about the Tom Ferry seminar that reframed everything, why treating real estate like a business instead of a job is the most underrated shift an agent can make, how he built his database from a literal phone book, and what obsessively studying sales scripts did for his career in a way that almost nothing else could. He also breaks down what sales actually is and is not, why nobody ever gets convinced to buy a home, and what the best agents are really doing when they pick up the phone after a showing. This one is for any agent trying to build something real, not just chase the next deal.

    The Secret to Building a Winning Team w/ Brandon Lee | Ep 48

    Brandon Lee is back for Part 2, and this one goes deeper into soccer, servant leadership, city council, and what he believes separates truly successful people from everyone else. Brandon has spent 20 years coaching youth and high school soccer here in East Idaho. He shares the coaching philosophy that took Idaho Falls High School's girls program to a third-place state finish in his very first season, after the program hadn't been to state in 22 years. He talks about the "No Beef Family" culture pillar his players created themselves, what he learned studying legendary UNC coach Anson Dorrance, and why he believes sports teach kids lessons no classroom ever could. Then the conversation shifts to Brandon's recent election to the Idaho Falls City Council. He breaks down what "smart growth" actually means, why the relationship between Idaho Falls and surrounding cities has never been stronger, what surprised him most about how a city actually runs, and why he would take the challenges of a growing city over a declining one every single time. He closes with what he believes the most successful people have in common, and it is simpler and more powerful than most people expect.🎙️ The Success Blueprint is hosted by Jason Grider and Morgan Peterson of the Grider & Peterson Team at eXp Realty, serving Idaho Falls and East Idaho. 📍 Learn more about buying or selling in East Idaho: https://www.griderpeterson.com 🏠 Curious what your home is worth? https://www.griderpeterson.com/home-value 🤝 Interested in joining a top-producing team? https://www.griderpeterson.com/join-our-team Listen and follow The Success Blueprint: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team/id1831318703 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TMqrct5zfUm2AOluyfjPa 🎧 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/911c1355-b2c4-4289-b739-15c8e0cac3d8/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team Follow Grider & Peterson: 📷 Instagram: https://instagram.com/griderpetersonrealestate 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/GriderPeterson 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@griderpetersonrealestate 🐦 X: https://x.com/GriderPeterson #IdahoFallsRealEstate #TheSuccessBlueprint #LeadershipLessons #SmartGrowth #EastIdaho #eXpRealty Chapters0:00 Welcome Back with Brandon Lee 2:06 20 Years of Coaching and Taking Idaho Falls to State 6:47 No Beef Family and How Brandon Builds Team Culture 12:08 What the Winningest Coach in NCAA History Taught Him 16:37 Why He Ran for Idaho Falls City Council 23:56 Smart Growth, Property Rights and the Apartment Debate 42:29 What Highly Successful People Do Differently

    "What's the Worst They Can Say?" Is the Best Business Advice You'll Ever Get w/ Brandon Lee | Ep 48

    Brandon Lee grew up right here in Idaho Falls, earned his MBA from the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business, and spent years doing land acquisition and site selection for Target Corporation — including convincing corporate leadership to greenlight their first-ever urban store concepts in downtown Seattle, Portland, and LA. Then he came home. In Part 1 of this conversation, Brandon shares the career path that took him from KPMG in Washington D.C. to a biotech startup acquisition, from Minneapolis boardrooms to Frank Vandersloot's office at Riverbend Holdings, and eventually back to East Idaho, where he founded 208 Real Estate Ventures. He talks about the trait he saw consistently in the best developers he worked with across the country, why COVID pushing him out of a comfortable role was actually a gift, the financial modeling mistake that sinks projects before they even start, and why he only takes on projects where his own money is in the deal. If you're interested in real estate development, entrepreneurship, or what it looks like to build something meaningful right here in East Idaho, this one's for you. 🎙️ The Success Blueprint is hosted by Jason Grider and Morgan Peterson of the Grider & Peterson Team at eXp Realty, serving Idaho Falls and East Idaho. 📍 Learn more about buying or selling in East Idaho: https://www.griderpeterson.com 🏠 Curious what your home is worth? https://www.griderpeterson.com/home-value 🤝 Interested in joining a top-producing team? https://www.griderpeterson.com/join-our-team Listen and follow The Success Blueprint: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team/id1831318703 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TMqrct5zfUm2AOluyfjPa 🎧 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/911c1355-b2c4-4289-b739-15c8e0cac3d8/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team Follow Grider & Peterson: 📷 Instagram: https://instagram.com/griderpetersonrealestate 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/GriderPeterson 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@griderpetersonrealestate 🐦 X: https://x.com/GriderPeterson #RealEstateDevelopment #IdahoFallsRealEstate #TheSuccessBlueprint #EastIdaho #RealEstateInvesting #eXpRealty  0:07 Welcome — Introducing Brandon Lee 0:52 Growing Up in Idaho Falls & the MBA That Changed Everything 2:14 Why He Chose Target Over Merck — And What He Learned 5:00 Convincing Target to Build Their First Urban Stores 7:59 The One Trait Every Great Developer Had in Common  17:48 Coming Home, Frank Vandersloot & Riverbend Holdings 21:54 COVID Ends His Role — And Forces Him to Finally Bet on Himself

    Real Estate Lessons We Learned the Hard Way w/ Jason and Morgan | Ep 47

    Jason and Morgan are back for Part 2 of their solo episode, and this one gets real. No guest, no market stats — just two agents with over 30 years of combined experience sharing the lessons, stories, and hard-won wisdom that actually changed how they show up for clients and teammates. They dig into why real estate isn't for everyone (and why that's okay), how personality profiles can predict success on a sales team, and what it means to truly serve a client — even when you think the house they love is terrible. Morgan shares the story of accidentally walking into the wrong house while showing a listing, Jason talks about writing an offer on the wrong new construction home, and they both unpack a contract situation where knowing the fine print put thousands of dollars back in a seller's pocket. If you're an agent, thinking about getting into real estate, or just curious what it's like behind the scenes, this episode is an honest, entertaining look at what it really takes. 🎙️ The Success Blueprint is hosted by Jason Grider and Morgan Peterson of the Grider & Peterson Team at eXp Realty, serving Idaho Falls and East Idaho. 📍 Learn more about buying or selling in East Idaho: https://www.griderpeterson.com 🏠 Curious what your home is worth? https://www.griderpeterson.com/home-value 🤝 Interested in joining a top-producing team? https://www.griderpeterson.com/join-our-team Listen and follow The Success Blueprint: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team/id1831318703 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TMqrct5zfUm2AOluyfjPa 🎧 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/911c1355-b2c4-4289-b739-15c8e0cac3d8/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team Follow Grider & Peterson: 📷 Instagram: https://instagram.com/griderpetersonrealestate 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/GriderPeterson 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@griderpetersonrealestate 🐦 X: https://x.com/GriderPeterson Hashtags #RealEstateLessons #IdahoFallsRealEstate #TheSuccessBlueprint #RealEstateAgent #eXpRealty #RealEstateTips0:00 Welcome Back — Lessons from 30+ Years in Real Estate 1:05 Is Real Estate Right for You?

    Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell in East Idaho? Real Estate Market Update | Ep 46

    Jason and Morgan take over the mic for a solo market update, breaking down exactly what's happening in the East Idaho real estate market right now and what it means for buyers, sellers, and investors. In Part 1, they dig into why so many sellers are still overpricing their homes (and why that "Zillow estimate" isn't as accurate as you think, especially in a non-disclosure state like Idaho), the psychology behind chasing a price that was never really there, and why local inventory and sales numbers tell a much more optimistic story than the headlines suggest. They also cover where interest rates are really headed, why "waiting for rates to drop" might cost you more in the long run, the importance of knowing your credit and finances before you're ready to buy, and a look at investing opportunities, subject-to loans, and the current (low) state of foreclosures in the East Idaho market. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, investing, or just want to understand what's really going on in the local market, this episode is packed with straight talk and local data. 🎙️ The Success Blueprint is hosted by Jason Grider and Morgan Peterson of the Grider & Peterson Team at eXp Realty, serving Idaho Falls and East Idaho. 📍 Learn more about buying or selling in East Idaho: https://www.griderpeterson.com 🏠 Curious what your home is worth? https://www.griderpeterson.com/home-value 🤝 Interested in joining a top-producing team? https://www.griderpeterson.com/join-our-team Listen and follow The Success Blueprint: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team/id1831318703 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TMqrct5zfUm2AOluyfjPa 🎧 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/911c1355-b2c4-4289-b739-15c8e0cac3d8/the-success-blueprint-with-the-grider-and-peterson-team Follow Grider & Peterson: 📷 Instagram: https://instagram.com/griderpetersonrealestate 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/GriderPeterson 🎵 TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@griderpetersonrealestate 🐦 X: https://x.com/GriderPeterson #IdahoFallsRealEstate #EastIdahoRealEstate #RealEstateMarketUpdate #TheSuccessBlueprint #eXpRealty #HomeBuyingTips 0:00 Welcome Back 0:43 Why So Many Sellers Are Overpricing Their Homes 2:48 The Truth About Zillow Estimates & Pricing Psychology 5:20 Inventory Levels, Sales Trends & What's Actually Selling 9:09 Interest Rates: Where They're Headed & Why Waiting Might Cost You 13:39 Affordability, Credit Scores & Idaho's Surprising National Ranking 25:57 Investing, Subject-To Loans & the Current State of Foreclosures
