205: The Real Reason We Keep Paying for Coaching
2026/09/01
Jordan wraps a 90-day coaching sprint with Coach Michael Burt and breaks down why he's already planning to sign up again. It's not really about the lessons, it's about staying in a room with people who are leveling up. Tony and Jordan talk through Burt's framework of picking one skill and developing it, Jordan getting called out for negative self-talk around managing people, and Rian's growth story as a blueprint for building leaders who eventually run their own thing. Plus, why $1,500 to join a coach's program is a no-brainer, even before you factor in what you actually learn.

204: Relentless Wins the Job Every Time
2026/08/25
Tony and Jordan break down how they hired their newest team member and why persistence made all the difference. From an unsolicited video introduction to a follow-up two weeks later, then a 90-day plan sent before he even had the job, the new hire kept showing up until he got noticed.
Tony also shares a story from his Stryker interview days about creating his own differentiator when he lacked budgeting experience. The takeaway is simple. Most people give up too soon, and the ones who don't usually get what they want.

She's handled everything from boutique hotels to a 200-year-old castle turned Harry Potter theme property. But the magic isn't what you think. It's about discipline, simplification, and knowing exactly when to break your own rules.

They learned massive lessons about how you communicate deals, why sellers matter more than you think, and what happens when you scale beyond your home market. Plus the crazy story of how they actually found this property.
