    Keith Gillispie: Stop Guessing in Your Business and Start Tracking What Matters

    Building a real estate business isn’t about hustle — it’s about repeatable systems and accountability. In this episode, Andrew sits down with Keith Gillispie of REI Automated to break down how disciplined processes, data, and automation create predictable growth. Keith shares how he transitioned from active-duty Marine to real estate investor, software creator, and coach — and why most investors stay stuck without clear KPIs and documented systems. In this episode: Why inconsistent inputs destroy business results How to build SOPs that scale without you The role of automation in investor operations Tracking KPIs that actually drive profit Keith Gillispie went from missing his kids' childhood overseas as an active-duty Marine to building a real estate empire that lets him coach Little League and never miss a family dinner. Today, he's the founder of REI Automated and a serial entrepreneur who has invested in 34 states, raised over $10 million in private capital, and helped more than 400 students achieve time and financial freedom through real estate. Keith's approach is refreshingly different: no cold calling, no lowball offers, no spinning your wheels. Just proven systems that turn overwhelmed beginners into confident investors, consistently closing five-figure deals. A Florida dad of two, Keith combines the discipline of a Marine with the heart of someone who's been exactly where you are - desperate for a better life and willing to do whatever it takes to build it.
