Part 2 with Ryan Woodruff

Leadership gets talked about a lot, but not always honestly.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Ryan Woodruff, we go a layer deeper into what leadership actually feels like when you’re the one carrying the weight. We talk personality types, leading across generations, and why high performers often struggle the most with confidence, burnout, and feeling like they always have to be “on.”

This episode is really about perspective - learning how to find your voice, manage your energy, and shift your mindset as your role grows. Ryan challenges the idea that leadership is about choosing between your success or your team’s success, and instead reframes it as both.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, questioned your confidence, or wondered how to lead without losing yourself in the process - this one will hit.

We cover:
• Personality types & leadership styles
• Multi-generational teams
• Confidence struggles of high performers
• Finding your voice as a leader
• Energy management & burnout
• Mindset shifts that actually matter

This episode is honest, grounding, and a reminder that leadership isn’t about being perfect - it’s about being aware.

Showing up confidently doesn’t mean having all the answers, but, it means knowing how to bring value even when you’re still learning.

In this episode we break down what confidence actually looks like in real estate (and life), especially when you’re new, overwhelmed, or not feeling like your best self. We talk about borrowing confidence before you earn it, why preparation beats perfection every time, and how clarity, presence, and honesty build real trust with clients.

We dive into:

• Why confidence is part of the service you provide

• Borrowing confidence before you feel it

• How preparation creates authority

• Knowing when to pause, say less, and speak with certainty

• Fake it till you make it. HEAVY ON: without lying or inflating your stats

• How real value is often what clients don’t see

• Why confidence, not charisma, builds trust

Whether you’re brand new or years into the business, this episode is a reminder that your value isn’t just what you do, it’s what you prevent from going wrong.

Leadership gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean?

In Part 1 of Episode 47, we’re joined by Ryan Woodruff of Rhino Consulting & Coaching to unpack the real difference between leadership and management, why titles don’t automatically make someone a leader, and why responsibility is the part people don’t talk about enough.

We get into DISC personality styles, expectation setting, communication breakdowns, and why some people love leading while others want nothing to do with it and neither is wrong. This episode is honest, practical, and sets the foundation for understanding how leadership actually works in real life (not just on paper).

If you’re building a team, working with different personalities, or trying to lead without losing your mind, this one’s for you.

Pour a drink, homies, and let's dive in! You asked, and we are here to deliver. We’re back with another round of real estate AITAH chaos. This week we’re diving into lowball offers that test our professionalism, clients who forget gratitude, in-laws who think they’re HGTV judges, and deals that fall apart at the finish line.

We’re asking the real questions:
Who’s actually the asshole?
When do you educate vs. walk away?
And how do you keep your sanity when everyone else has lost theirs?

If you’ve ever wanted to scream into a pillow after a transaction, this one’s for you.

Episode 44 is officially kicking off 2026 with a vibe shift and a couple big updates. 🎉
We’re now on YouTube (finally!), we launched our Amazon Storefront (so you can shop our podcast + business faves), and we’re diving into what it actually looks like to go into a new year with intention instead of overwhelm.

This episode is all about choosing happiness over chaos: softening your energy without losing your drive, staying motivated past the “New Year high,” and building a baseline you can return to when business gets loud. We talk alignment, boundaries, comparison traps, protecting your marriage/family time, and why you don’t always have to be “right”…. even when you are right.

Pour a drink, take a breath, and let this be your permission slip to reset how you move in 2026 🤍

✨ It’s the final episode of our FIRST year in the podcast world and it’s New Year’s week! ✨

We’re closing out the year full of gratitude after learning we’ve landed in the top 10% of new podcasts, and we truly couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for listening, sharing, and showing up week after week. 🤍

In this episode, we dive deep into organization, systems, and self-awareness, specifically how we audit our own workflows and routines. We talk about using the slow season intentionally to figure out what actually works for you, because someone else’s system (even if it looks perfect) isn’t always built for your life, business, or brain.

We discuss:

• Why borrowing systems blindly doesn’t work
• How to check in with yourself and do honest audits
• Identifying what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to go
• Building systems that support your goals - not burn you out

Thank you for an incredible first year - here’s to growth, clarity, and building systems that actually support the life you want in 2026. 🥂

It’s Christmas week, the vibes are cozy, and we’re officially giving you permission to be influenced

In this unserious but very necessary episode, we’re breaking down our 2025 favorites- from apps we actually use, Amazon finds we swear by, agent “uniforms,” beauty + self-care staples, coffee orders, cozy home must-haves, and the purchases that genuinely upgraded our lives.

We also get fully unhinged (per usual) and reflect on our most chaotic moments of the year—including goats, robot vacuums with names, questionable Amazon decisions, and the realization that ChatGPT knows us a little too well.

This episode is part recommendations, part real estate life, part ADHD chaos, and 100% Agents After Hours energy. If you’re not working this week, this one’s for you. If you are working… this is your excuse to take a break and laugh with us.

🎧 Grab your coffee (or cocktail), kick your feet up, and come hang out.
