She left a stable job when her kids were little with no master plan. Just passion, a good reputation, and a phone call to her husband. 13 years later, Katie Lance has helped thousands of real estate agents crack the code on social media — and just crossed $1 million in course sales on Kajabi. She breaks down the Focus 5 system she's been teaching for years that takes five minutes a day and actually moves the needle, why most agents are overthinking their content strategy, how to use AI without destroying the trust you've spent years building, and why "done is better than perfect" isn't just a cliché — it's the whole strategy.

She once fought with her husband over a $3 guacamole charge. Now she's managed $200 million in ad spend. Ashley Brock went from scarcity mindset and three failed businesses to building a near 8-figure company in under three years — all by betting on the one thing she'd done her whole career. She breaks down exactly why most small business owners think about ad spend completely wrong, how to pick the right platform for your business, why your mindset about money is the first thing that needs to change before you ever run your first ad, and the three things she's always paid for — skill, speed, and energy — that turned every investment into a 10x return.
