We're talking with Nik Scoolis, an economics analyst for ZondaHome.com — one of the largest data providers around new construction. We're looking at when housing might become affordable again, what factors are influencing prices & rates, what factors play into home affordability, and what would need to happen for prices to come down.

Carrot.com/Mindset | It's mindset month, but what does that even mean? To me, it usually means finding the best ways to stay motivated so I can do what I set out to do. But if you're anything like me, sometimes simply getting started, let alone finishing ambitious feats, can feel like a relentless pursuit. That's why this conversation with Seth Buechley, Trevor Mauch, and Brady Winder is all about "fuel" — the thoughts & habits that will make us, break us, and shape us, whether we're aware of them or not. If this resonated with you, email me at brady@carrot.com. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

You’re working in your unique ability when you have more energy at the end of the day than before you started. Is this you? Or are you coming home every day wishing you had enough energy to show up for your family and you’re not even remotely excited to face the next day? That was me before all of my hustle and grind almost caused me to lose my family - the ones I was working so hard for. Don’t go another day without doing this one simple exercise that completely changed my life. Carrot.com/energy

It was possible because he learned how to hire & train the right roles at the right time. Today, we're going to get a glimpse into how he did it. Listen in.

I want to share with you the handful of specific tactics I've implemented that have transformed the way I grow as an entrepreneur, specifically when it comes to reading. Why? Because most people, especially those investing in personal development, pick up any book that interests them. We end up consuming a swath of information only to remember (and apply) a sliver of it. If you're looking to speed up your growth and get more out of your dedication, listen in.

"Rest is a necessity, but not the objective. If we rest too long, the weeds will take over the garden." - Jim Rohn

Our society is in a spot right now where I think we value rest a little too much, but at the same time, when we do rest, it isn't enough. If you're working too much, or if you feel like your rest isn't enough, take a note from my story. I'm sharing how too much work almost killed my family, how I took a month off, and what rest looked like in the early days, vs now. If you liked this episode, leave us a review!

Once upon a time, Phil ran a brokerage with over 50 agents and would turn down every seller that wanted a cash offer. Today, he runs a lean team of just 3 rockstar agents and has trained them exceptionally well on how to close motivated sellers. His sales & negotiation skills are honest, refreshing, and most importantly, effective. Our conversation, he role-plays & explains just about any scenario you'd run into, with just about any lead. There's no secret sauce to selling, but Phil's methods & scripts are probably the closest thing. If you're an investor or agent wanting a simpler way to sell, with less pressure, this episode is for you. Enjoy.
