You're posting twice a day. You're at every networking event. You bought three different templates this month. You're following five different marketing gurus. And somehow...you're still not getting the results you want.

In this first episode of The Wealthy Agent Upgrade series, Chelsea and Kayla are calling out the one thing draining your time, your energy, and your bank account faster than any business expense ever could: distraction.

Do you feel like you're working your tail off but not getting anywhere? You’re probably distracted. Let’s talk about how to refocus and get you well on your way to becoming a wealthy real estate agent.

The girls discuss:

♡ How to stop self-sabotaging with "shoulds" and "maybes"

♡ How to define what "wealth" actually means for your business

♡ Why wealthy agents think in years, not weeks

♡ Why posting twice a day still isn't getting you conversions

♡ What to eliminate right now if you want different results in 12 months

Chocolate brown everything. A corner workspace that shows up in every post. Wine meetings with clients who already feel like friends. BryAnn Buhl didn't stumble into a cohesive brand, she built it on purpose, and it's been the difference between surviving and thriving in real estate.

BryAnn is a luxury real estate expert across Central California and the Coast who's turned authentic storytelling and intentional social media into one of the most engaged real estate audiences in her market. She’s mastered the art of luxury branding without losing the relatable, approachable vibe that makes people want to work with her.

BryAnn's sharing how she's evolved her brand over the years, why she'll never let someone else post for her, and what it really takes to attract your dream clients through social media.

The girls discuss:

♡ Why social media beats cold calling for building authentic client relationships

♡ How to create a cohesive brand without overthinking it

♡ The difference between luxury branding and being relatable (and why you need both)

♡ BryAnn's content batching strategy with UGC-style shoots

♡ How to share your personal life without oversharing

Chelsea actually did a 30 (ok, 27) day Instagram Stories experiment and is sharing her findings in today’s episode! We’re talking about what worked and what didn’t and what this means for you as a real estate agent.

Plus, the importance of showing up imperfectly but consistently and how that creates more connections, conversations, and trust than any perfectly curated post ever could.

The girls discuss:

♡ Why the gap between idea and execution is killing your authenticity

♡ How to stop filtering yourself and start showing up as a real human

♡ Why you need hobbies

♡ What to actually put in your stories (and how to make it feel easy!)

“I'm doing all the things, posting consistently, showing up in stories... so why am I still not getting clients?”

We hear this all the time, so let’s talk about it with zero sugarcoating. The truth is, you're not actually doing all the things. You're doing some of the things, and there’s always room to improve your strategy.

This episode is fiery...we’re talking about distraction and what it’s costing you, how to look at your results as data instead of a personal attack, and why life meets you at the level of your audacity. We’re in Camp Modern Agent Mode, so this episode is basically one giant mic drop.

The girls discuss:

♡ Why conversations matter more than views, likes, or followers

♡ The difference between marketing on social media vs. seriously marketing on social media

♡ How to use your stories to build real connections

♡ Why taking things personally is keeping you stuck, and how to look at it as data instead

♡ The one thing costing you more than anything else in your business

Look, we're not saying you absolutely NEED a personal brand to sell real estate. You could still door knock, cold call, and send postcards like it's 1970. But if you want clients who feel like friends, a business that works around your life, and people reaching out because they trust you before you ever hop on a call… well, that might be a different story.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down what a personal brand even is and why it matters more than ever in the AI era.

The girls discuss:

♡ Why you don't technically need a personal brand (but what it'll cost you not to have one)

♡ What Disney's pixie dusting teaches us about building a brand people want to be part of

♡ What makes content feel human vs. robotic

♡ The magic Venn diagram of your content

♡ How to pass the wine test

The girls did A LOT this year. And not in a "humble-brag" kind of way, more like "here's what they learned the hard way so you don't have to" kind of way.

Chelsea and Kayla are covering everything that went into building Modern Agent Social Club this year — launching the podcast, completely rebuilding their website (twice), hiring new team members, running ads, and hosting Camp Modern Agent.

But more importantly, they're breaking down what all of this means for YOU.

The girls discuss:

♡ Why consistency beats perfection every single time (and how the podcast proved it)

♡ The danger of copying your competitors

♡ How to know when it's time to outsource

♡ What "data" actually means for real estate agents
