    Leadership, Loss, And The Power Of Showing Up

    A career can pivot on a single choice, and Randall Zamora proves it. From walking away from a traditional college track to becoming a Dallas realtor known for relentless follow-up, investor savvy, and warm leadership, Randall shows how intention beats algorithms and how one call can unlock your next deal. We dig into his early training under top San Antonio agents, the move back to Lubbock to build a strong single-family base, and the leap to Dallas in 2020 where he closed roughly $15M without a prebuilt network—just hustle, curiosity, and a phone that never stops ringing. The conversation gets real about market nuance. Randall breaks down how Dallas County’s 30-day minimum reshapes short-term strategies and why midterm rentals near hospitals are booming, while Collin County’s more flexible rules create different yield profiles. He explains how he coaches investors on cap rates, financing, and exit paths, turning transactions into portfolios through clarity, consistency, and service. We also unpack why AI will make human touch more valuable, from quick check-in calls to personal videos and live events that build trust you cannot outsource. Leadership sits at the heart of Randall’s growth. He shares how the Texas Realtors Leadership Program helped him navigate grief, sharpen self-awareness, and become the kind of person others choose to follow. That same spirit led to a surprising move to eXp, where alignment with Now Nation and the Gated Group opened doors to mentorship, collaboration, relocation opportunities, and building a team with purpose—not pressure. If you’ve questioned your path, felt stuck at a ceiling, or needed a nudge to show up boldly, this story will light a fire and give you a plan. Subscribe for more conversations with top producers and community builders, share this with a colleague who needs a push, and leave a review telling us your biggest takeaway from Randall’s playbook.

    Purpose-Driven Prosperity: Building Wealth Through Affordable Housing

    Don Wenner isn't your typical real estate mogul. Growing up with teenage parents and moving 37 times before age 17, he developed an extraordinary resilience and faith that would become the foundation of his $4 billion investment empire.  From his unexpected entry into real estate at age 20 to building one of America's fastest-growing private companies for 13 consecutive years, Wenner's story defies conventional business wisdom. What sets him apart isn't just his impressive growth metrics—it's his unwavering commitment to purpose. "Too much is given, much is required" serves as both his guiding verse and business philosophy. At DLP Capital, affordable housing isn't simply an investment strategy—it's the starting point for community transformation. Wenner's approach tackles both housing affordability and what he calls "the loneliness epidemic" by creating environments where residents truly know their neighbors. With thoughtfully designed apartment communities across 17 states featuring full amenities, onsite ministry resources, and programming from Bible studies to financial literacy classes, DLP builds genuine connections that benefit residents while delivering exceptional returns to 3,500 investor families. Most revolutionary is Wenner's perspective on business itself. "Business is ministry," he asserts, noting that employees spend 94 times more hours at work than church, giving business leaders unprecedented opportunity for positive impact. His "Lion Chaser Manifesto" challenges entrepreneurs to pursue dreams so ambitious they require divine intervention—not just for personal success but to transform lives through thriving communities. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, real estate professional, or purpose-driven investor, Wenner's insights provide a blueprint for building organizations that generate both profits and meaningful impact.

    From Housewife to Real Estate Powerhouse: The Gina Kirschenheiter Story

    What does it take to build a thriving real estate business while juggling reality TV, parenting six children, and expanding into new markets? Gina Kirschenheiter and Travis Mullen know firsthand—and they're transforming how real estate teams operate in the process. When Travis first suggested Gina get her real estate license, she hesitated. "The last test I took was a pregnancy test," she jokes, capturing the anxiety many feel when considering career changes. Known for her role on The Real Housewives of Orange County, Gina wasn't sure how to bridge her entertainment platform with a professional real estate career. But once she took the leap, everything changed. The couple made a bold decision to launch their business during what Gina calls "the crappiest possible time" in real estate. Rather than viewing this as a disadvantage, they embraced it as an opportunity to build solid foundations during challenging conditions. "We're learning everything at the hardest possible time, in the hardest possible market," Gina explains. "When it does lighten up and things shift, we're already going to have the foundation built." What truly sets The Gated Group apart is their rejection of traditional brokerage models. They've built a team culture focused on authentic connection and genuine support rather than cutthroat competition. Their decision to join eXp Realty rather than a traditional brokerage reflects this forward-thinking approach. "I don't understand why people are still wanting to work with a traditional brokerage," Gina says. "You're paying, you're giving up a portion of your hard-earned commission to brand someone else." The Gated Group has expanded from Southern California to Dallas in less than six months, attracting agents who appreciate their supportive, collaborative approach. They're selective about team growth, emphasizing alignment with their core values rather than simply chasing volume. Considering a change in your real estate career? Connect with Gina and Travis to learn more about their innovative approach to team building, authentic marketing, and creating success in challenging markets.

    The Aligned Method: Transform Your Health, Business, and Life

    Transformation isn't just about changing your body—it's about aligning every aspect of your life for sustainable success and wellbeing. That's what Angelica Ventrice discovered after leaving her high-stress pharmaceutical sales career 40 pounds heavier and completely burnt out. Now the creator of the Aligned Method Program, Angelica shares groundbreaking insights about what truly creates lasting change. Forget the conventional wisdom about 21-day habit formation. According to Angelica, genuine identity transformation requires three to four years of consistent practice—a timeline rarely acknowledged in our quick-fix culture. This perspective explains why so many high-achievers experience the frustrating cycle of weight loss and regain despite their legendary discipline in other areas of life. For busy realtors constantly networking, traveling, and juggling client demands, Angelica offers radical permission to start small. Just 15 minutes of intentional movement can create significant results when performed consistently. She challenges the "no time" excuse by asking powerful questions: What's your five-year vision if nothing changes? How much time do you really spend scrolling or in other low-value activities? The conversation ventures into fascinating territory around alcohol consumption (your body processes it before food, turning meals into stored fat), breathwork for releasing stored trauma, and why true health transformation requires addressing not just physical habits but also mindset patterns, spiritual connection, and business alignment. Whether you're struggling with energy levels, battling brain fog, or simply wanting to feel more confident and capable in your demanding career, this episode offers both practical strategies and profound perspective shifts. Message Angelica on Instagram for her free Reset Your Metabolism masterclass or gut healing meal plan to begin your own alignment journey.

    Rumors, Relocations, and Real Estate Revolutions

    Courtney Twiss and Michelle Roderick tackle the rumor mill head-on in this candid episode that sets the record straight about their thriving partnership amid personal changes. Growing an organization to nearly 60 agents across multiple states doesn't happen without whispers, especially when one partner announces a relocation. "We're not separating, we're expanding," they emphasize, sharing how Michelle's move to Fresno represents strategic growth rather than dissolution. Their journey since aligning with eXp Realty sixteen months ago reveals both the challenges and triumphs of scaling a real estate organization. From weathering initial shake-ups to celebrating agent success stories that showcase life-changing results, their partnership demonstrates what's possible when complementary strengths unite around shared vision. They've launched Fast Break Friday Mastermind sessions, maintained their weekly podcast, and expanded their organization's footprint to five states with international growth on the horizon. What makes their story particularly compelling is the scale they've achieved while operating from a small town of just 3,000 people. Their collaborative approach has empowered agents like Christine Williams, who found transformative professional development; Lenny, who achieved his best year by April 1st; and Julie Gerken, who attained IconAgent status at eXP. Behind their social media presence lies a genuine mission to change lives through strategic partnership and visionary leadership.

    The Art of Buying in a $4 Million Market

    What happens when you combine 25 years of Wall Street analytical expertise with an intimate knowledge of Manhattan's evolving neighborhoods? You get Ellen Silverman, our fascinating guest who brings a uniquely powerful perspective to New York City real estate. Born and raised in Manhattan, Ellen guides us through her compelling career transition story – from financial analyst navigating the restrictive post-2008 banking world to successful real estate professional at Compass. Rather than viewing her career change as a setback, Ellen embraced the opportunity when a new CEO "cleaned house" at her investment bank in 2016. Having bought and sold her own properties since 1995, real estate was a natural next step that leveraged her financial acumen and deep understanding of how neighborhoods transform over time. The conversation takes us deep into the current Manhattan real estate landscape, where condos average an eye-popping $4 million and co-ops about $1.6 million. "You pay for your freedom in a condo," Ellen explains, highlighting how the less restrictive ownership model commands premium prices. Despite high interest rates, she observes buyers returning to the market in 2025, creating more competition amid an inventory shortage. Working primarily in Manhattan's uptown and Midtown West neighborhoods, Ellen brings sharp analytical skills to help clients make sound investment decisions in this high-stakes market. In a delightful twist, Ellen shares her recent experience working as an extra on "And Just Like That" alongside Sarah Jessica Parker and other stars from the iconic Sex and the City franchise. This glimpse into her multifaceted life in New York adds color to understanding how she's navigating her real estate business through marketing innovations, including increased social media presence, podcasting, and video content creation. Follow Ellen on Instagram @ellenjsilverman to connect with this Manhattan real estate expert who blends Wall Street precision with an artistic eye for quality construction and thoughtful design.
