    Life by Design: Overcoming Fear and Living with Purpose

    What does it truly mean to live life by design? In this powerful conversation with returning guest Dan Zytowski, we explore the transformative philosophy that "life begins when you step outside your comfort zone."  Dan shares his journey from being a self-described "depressed millionaire" flipping houses to creating a life centered on purpose, presence, and authentic relationships. His refreshing perspective challenges conventional thinking about success, encouraging listeners to stop waiting for some mythical future "golden years" and instead design their ideal life today. The conversation takes unexpected turns as we explore the paralyzing effects of perfectionism, the power of imperfect action, and the liberation that comes from failing forward. Dan vulnerably shares his deepest fear - not of heights or public speaking - but of reaching the end of life and meeting "the person he could have been" had he taken more chances and lived more boldly. We dive into practical strategies for reverse-engineering your dream life, starting with a simple but profound exercise: imagining what your calendar would look like if time and money weren't obstacles. From there, Dan explains how to work backwards, creating incremental steps that lead to extraordinary transformation. Perhaps most valuable is Dan's insight that all business success ultimately comes down to just two things: building relationship capital and solving problems. When you master these elements through authentic connection rather than transactional thinking, you create sustainable success that aligns with your deepest values. Whether you're a real estate professional looking to elevate your business or simply someone seeking more meaning and intentionality in your life, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical steps to begin your journey today. As Dan reminds us, the most important question might be: "Who do you need to become to create the life you truly desire?" Take one insight from this episode and implement it today. Share your experience with us, as we'd love to hear how these ideas are transforming your approach to business and life.

    Harnessing Fear, Honoring Culture: Jay Doran on Self-Mastery and Building Vision-Driven Businesses

    What would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail? This question lies at the heart of entrepreneurship, where fear often becomes the invisible barrier between where we are and where we want to be. Jay Doran, culture expert and founder of Culture Matters, takes us on a journey through the complex relationship between fear and organizational culture. "When I'm not sharing my vision out of fear, I'm not showing up as the best version of myself," Jay reveals, highlighting how personal limitations directly impact business outcomes. The conversation explores how fear can both motivate and paralyze, and how successful entrepreneurs learn to harness it productively. The origin story of Culture Matters unfolds as Jay shares his transformation from an anxious, overwhelmed entrepreneur to a passionate advocate for value-driven organizations. After discovering a book about The Container Store's founding principles during a moment of anxiety, Jay implemented core values in his first business venture and witnessed remarkable changes in team behavior. This experience revealed his gift for teaching and set him on a path to help other businesses discover their cultural foundations. As businesses grow, they face an interesting challenge: transitioning from fear-based motivation to value-driven culture. Jay and Maria discuss how defining vision, mission, and values creates a foundation that sustains motivation beyond fear. This process of making implicit values explicit gives organizations direction and purpose that transcends individual anxieties. The conversation takes a powerful turn when Jay shares his experience interviewing Dr. Jordan Peterson, describing how preparation allowed him to balance fan excitement with professional responsibility. "To become a hero, you must meet your heroes," Jay observes, emphasizing the importance of mentorship in entrepreneurial journeys. Whether you're just starting your business or leading an established organization, this conversation offers valuable insights on overcoming fear, building authentic culture, developing self-awareness, and nurturing the relationships that sustain entrepreneurial success. As Maria's podcast name suggests, the ultimate goal is to "Be the Solution" – for your customers, your team, and yourself.

    From Real Estate to Soul Coach: Jennifer Maher's Journey of Transformation

    Jennifer Maher's return to the Be The Solution podcast takes us on a profound journey from her days as a real estate professional to her current calling as a soulful prosperity coach. What begins as a conversation about Buddhist philosophy—Jennifer reveals she's an ordained Buddhist priest—quickly evolves into a masterclass on personal transformation and authentic living. Drawing from her remarkable life story that includes overcoming addiction in her twenties, Jennifer shares the exact moment she discovered the freedom that comes from making decisions based on alignment rather than fear. "When my business partnership suddenly dissolved and I lost everything overnight, I felt no fear—only freedom," she explains. This watershed moment launched her coaching business and cemented her philosophy of living "untethered" from scarcity mindsets. At the heart of Jennifer's approach is a revolutionary concept: building businesses that support dream lifestyles rather than consume them. Through her "Beyond Limits" coaching program, she guides entrepreneurs to break free from the common trap of starting businesses for freedom only to end up hating their companies, clients, and having no time. The secret? Understanding that your personality creates your reality, and transformational change requires reinventing who you are at your core. The conversation reaches its most powerful moments when Jennifer discusses radical responsibility and the liberation from judgment. Through compelling examples—from coffee spills to car accidents—she demonstrates how taking complete ownership for everything in your life creates unprecedented freedom. "Once I became 100% responsible for my circumstances and emotions, that's when I found true freedom," she reflects. Perhaps most profound is Jennifer's perspective on judgment. By releasing our need to label experiences as good or bad, we open ourselves to unexpected opportunities and align with divine flow. She concludes with a simple yet transformative practice: living in gratitude as your default state. "You can't be grateful and angry at the same time," she notes, sharing how responding to "How are you?" with "Grateful" creates an immediate energetic shift. Whether you're seeking professional reinvention, greater alignment in your business, or simply a more intentional approach to daily life, Jennifer's wisdom offers a roadmap to becoming truly untethered and authentically prosperous.

    Revamp365: The Software Revolutionizing Real Estate Investment

    Drew Farnese's journey from flipping houses to creating revolutionary real estate investment software reveals how mindset shapes business success. After years of manually analyzing MLS data through Excel spreadsheets to find profitable investment properties, Drew transformed this process into Revamp365.ai – a platform that automatically evaluates thousands of listings to identify only the most profitable opportunities. What makes this approach so powerful? Rather than spending countless hours scouring listings, investors can simply specify their profit goals and geographic preferences, then review only the properties matching their exact criteria. The proof came quickly when a veteran flipper with 20+ years of experience found two overlooked properties worth a combined $250,000 in potential profit within just two weeks of using the platform. Despite being on the market for over 90 days, these gems had been missed by everyone else – including multiple MLS feeds from experienced agents. Throughout our conversation, Drew shares profound insights about entrepreneurship and personal development. "90% of the reason my business declined is because mentally, I decided that's what it should do," he reveals when discussing a previous business downturn. This radical self-awareness mirrors the podcast's core message – taking complete ownership of outcomes rather than blaming external circumstances. As Drew puts it: "There's almost always something you can do, no matter what happens in your life or business. You've got to take control and be accountable at all times." Currently covering seven states through Bright MLS with plans for nationwide expansion, Revamp365 represents a competitive advantage for serious investors who understand that finding profitable deals requires analyzing vast amounts of data efficiently. Whether you're flipping houses, building a rental portfolio, or wholesaling properties, this conversation reveals how the right technology paired with personal accountability can transform your real estate investment business.

    When to Call the Short Sale Expert: Insights from Matt Merenoff

    Uncovering the truth about today's real estate market reveals a surprising reality: short sales didn't disappear after COVID - they're hiding in plain sight. Matthew Marinoff of Real Estate Recovery Group returns to the Be the Solution podcast to shatter common misconceptions and expose the current landscape of distressed properties. Drawing on two decades of expertise, Matt explains how the "COVID era" created a perfect storm of financial vulnerability. Homeowners who exhausted loan modifications, accumulated partial claims, or overpaid during bidding wars now face a harsh awakening. Most striking is his revelation about properties from Texas where buyers overextended by $50,000-$80,000 above market value - a recipe for financial disaster when life changes force a move. The conversation takes a deep dive into the foreclosure timeline, revealing the critical window when intervention matters most. Matt's candid approach cuts through the shame that often paralyzes homeowners: "You can lie to everybody else, you can lie to your spouse, you can lie to your side piece, but you have to tell me the absolute truth." This raw honesty highlights why transparency becomes the lifeline for those drowning in financial quicksand. For real estate professionals, Matt offers practical guidance on when to engage a short sale expert (immediately), how to recognize distress signals beyond what clients initially share, and the crucial role of title searches as financial "EKGs" revealing hidden judgments and liens. His newly launched educational portal at YourShortSaleSuccess.com provides on-demand training for navigating these complex situations. This episode serves as both warning and roadmap for anyone connected to today's real estate market. The best preparation for tomorrow truly is understanding the hidden currents of distress beneath today's seemingly stable market surface.

Both hosts dive deep into practical strategies for building genuine client relationships, with Maria revealing her approach of having up to 20 meaningful conversations daily. They dispel the myth that real estate success requires aggressive cold calling, instead emphasizing authentic connection and problem-solving. As Janice puts it, "We're not in the business of houses, we're in the business of people."

    Mastering the Open House: Persistence, People, and the Path to Real Estate Success

    Persistence is the vehicle that carries ambition to success. This powerful truth serves as the foundation for our conversation with Philadelphia real estate veteran Pam Rosser-Thistle, who has built a thriving business by mastering one fundamental activity: open houses. Pam conducts 50-75 open houses annually, revealing why they form the "top of the funnel" for her entire business model. Rather than simply showing up and hoping for the best, she approaches each event with strategic precision that begins weeks in advance. Her methodical approach includes deploying six carefully positioned signs (placed strategically based on weather and foot traffic), creating targeted marketing materials, and preparing thoroughly to maximize every interaction. What's particularly fascinating is Pam's collaborative mindset. She emphasizes that approximately 75% of her listings sell specifically because of open houses – not just those she hosts personally, but through a network of agents hosting for each other. This community approach ensures maximum property exposure while creating opportunities for everyone involved. Beyond business generation, Pam highlights something often overlooked: the human connection aspect of open houses. In our digitally dominated world, these face-to-face interactions provide valuable opportunities to connect with community members from all walks of life. "It's healthy to talk to people," Pam notes. "It's good for them, good for you." The conversation also explores adaptability during challenging times, finding your transaction "sweet spot" for work-life balance, and maintaining focus within a specific geographic area. Whether you're new to real estate or a seasoned professional looking to strengthen your business foundation, this episode offers actionable insights on building a sustainable career through consistency, human connection, and the surprising power of showing up – even when it's not exciting or glamorous. Ready to transform your approach to open houses and real estate? Listen now and discover how small, consistent actions compound into remarkable success over time.

  8. Mastering the Art of Connection in Real Estate Success with Coach Lucy

    Mastering the Art of Connection in Real Estate Success with Coach Lucy

    What does it truly take to succeed in real estate? Coach Lucy reveals the answer isn't complicated, but it demands something many aren't willing to give: pure, unadulterated will. Coach Lucy joins Maria to share how her Winner's Wednesday Productivity Bootcamp is transforming real estate agents through a simple formula. Unlike typical networking events or workshops, Lucy's bootcamp creates an atmosphere of activation where agents learn to connect effectively with potential clients. After 25 years in the industry, Lucy has distilled success down to her proprietary "Four C's of Lead Conversion" – Connection, Conversation, Care, and Close – in that specific order. The results speak volumes. One agent who hadn't closed a deal since January managed to close six transactions after just six weeks of attending the bootcamp. How? By focusing solely on the first C: Connection. "I never realized I needed to find a way to connect with more people," the agent admitted. This shift in focus led her to make more calls, create more content, and host more open houses – all with the intention of authentic connection rather than immediate closing. Lucy and Maria explore how freedom in real estate is widely misunderstood. "Freedom isn't given; freedom is earned," Lucy explains. True freedom comes from discipline and consistency, not from working whenever you feel like it. Both hosts agree that personal development remains the foundation of business growth, and Lucy offers this memorable advice: "Stop having conversations with broke people" who only discuss other people and problems. Ready to transform your real estate business? This episode provides the mindset shift and practical strategies to help you break through barriers and achieve the success you've been seeking. Remember: where there's a will, there's a way.
