Buckle up — this episode hits different. I’m sitting down with Michelle Leeper, a Wichita-area real estate pro who started in 2008 (yes… THAT year) and built a career the hard way: relationships over transactions.

We talk about what “bad markets” do (they flush out the order-takers), why Michelle calls them “Pop-Tart Agents,” and how she closed 26 deals her first year by grinding open houses + follow-up when she didn’t know anyone. We also get real about trust, handwritten notes, “doing the right thing,” and how life’s hardest seasons can sharpen your purpose.

If you’re buying/selling a home and want someone who actually gives a damn about protecting your asset — this is your episode.

The holidays have a way of making us reflect—on hardship, growth, and what really matters.

In this special Christmas-themed episode of The Mortgage Punk Show, Chris sits down with Traci Terrill, Wichita real estate investor, educator, and powerhouse agent, to talk about the real stuff most people skip:

• Surviving the aftermath of the 2008 crash

• Learning through financial pain

• Turning adversity into opportunity

• Why generosity isn’t just about money

• And how hard seasons often prepare us for our biggest breakthroughs

This isn’t a highlight-reel interview. It’s a real conversation about grit, resilience, faith in the process, and building something meaningful when life doesn’t go as planned.

We also talk:

🔥 Old-school “NINJA loans” and what today’s lending really looks like

🔥 Why real estate agents should actually own real estate

🔥 The difference between chasing money and building purpose

🔥 How controlling the controllables can change your future

If you’ve had a tough year, this episode is for you.

If you’re rebuilding, refocusing, or re-committing in 2026—this one hits home.
