From $13K and Ramen to Top of the Table | Eddie Knezevich on Money, Fatherhood & the Chip That Won't Go Away

Our first guest episode. Eddie Knezevich — President & CEO of NLF Partners, Million Dollar Roundtable Top of the Table producer, husband, and dad of three — sits down with Brooks and Steve to talk about what it really took to build something from nothing. Eddie started with $13,000, a broken-down Nissan, and a mold-infested basement. He's now running one of the most recognized advisory firms in the country, with 70% year-over-year growth and a team beneath him. In this conversation: the 3 financial mistakes most business owners make without realizing it, why cash is no longer king, the Five F's framework that simplified his entire life, what it's like to build a life your 8-year-old self would be proud of, the hard conversations about fatherhood and marriage, and how to stay hungry once you've reached a level of comfort. This one goes deep. Grab a coffee. Topics: entrepreneurship, financial planning, tax strategy, business ownership, fatherhood, work-life harmony, mindset, mentorship, smart leverage, growing a business.

Work-Life Balance Is a LIE. Try This Instead. | Game Plans Podcast

Work-life balance is a myth — and chasing it is making you miserable. In this episode of Game Plans, Brooks Anderson and Steve Beskid break down why "balance" sets you up to fail and why work-life harmony is the real game-changer for busy professionals, parents, and entrepreneurs. We get into the real talk: how to stop feeling guilty about working when you're with your kids (and vice versa), why the hustle culture AND the anti-hustle culture both get it wrong, and the daily habits that actually help you show up fully in every area of your life. 0:00 — Intro & March Madness Talk 1:48 — Basketball Obsession: Sleeping With a Basketball & Dribbling to Class 4:30 — The Players Championship & Golf Talk 6:45 — Formula 1, Columbus Crew & What We're Watching 8:30 — Spring Market Update: Bidding Wars Are Back 10:15 — Mortgage Rates: Where Are They Headed? 13:00 — The Affordability Message Buyers Need to Hear 15:00 — AI & Automation: Why I Switched from ChatGPT to Claude 17:30 — Claude Cowork Demo: Building Your AI Business Profile 20:00 — Scheduled Tasks: My Automated Daily Briefing System 23:00 — Weekly Market Snapshots, Lead Tracking & Listing Alerts 26:30 — Time Audits, GCI Tracking & AI as a Business Coach 29:00 — How AI Is Showing Up in the Mortgage Industry 31:30 — Clients Using ChatGPT to Ask Questions (And How to Handle It) 33:45 — Ryan Serhant Lost a $50M Deal Because of ChatGPT 35:30 — AI Won't Replace Agents — But Agents Using AI Will Win 38:00 — The Human Element: Why Relationships Still Matter Most 40:30 — Staying in Front of Your Database: Letters From the Heart 43:00 — Work-Life Balance vs. Work-Life Harmony: The Real Talk 45:30 — Why "Balance" Doesn't Exist for Entrepreneurs & Parents 48:00 — Seasons of Life: When Work Gets Heavy (And That's OK) 50:30 — Work-Life Balance Is Just "I Don't Want to Work" 52:00 — Find Something You Love: Stop Shortcutting to Mastery 55:00 — 10X Is Easier Than 2X: The Growth Mindset 56:30 — Kobe's Retirement Speech & Barry Sanders on the Grind 58:30 — Fall in Love With the Process: Measure Yourself in Reverse 1:00:30 — What's the Hardest Part of Harmony for You? 1:02:30 — Everything Is Important, But Not Everything Is Urgent 1:04:00 — Weekend Deal Story: Teamwork Under Pressure 1:05:45 — Wrap Up & Final Thoughts 🔗 CONNECT WITH US: 📱 Brooks Anderson — Columbus, OH Realtor    Instagram: @brooksandersonrealtor    Website: banderson.cutlerhomes.com 💰 Steve Beskid — Mortgage Lending Expert    Instagram: @stevebeskid 🎙️ Game Plans Podcast    Instagram: @gameplanspod    Subscribe for new episodes every week! 📩 Have a topic idea?
