One Year Later: Revisiting Our Most Chaotic Episode

One Year Later: Revisiting Our Most Chaotic Episode

The infamous Episode 5 is back... kind of. A little over a year ago, we sat down with our spouses for one of the most chaotic (and somehow most-listened-to) episodes of Agents After Hours. This time, we're revisiting the conversation with a little more life experience, a little more perspective, and hopefully a little less chaos. We talk about what has changed over the last year...from leaving the 9-to-5 behind and going all in on real estate, to navigating IVF, marriage, business ownership, burnout, personal growth, and the reality of building a life together while chasing big goals. We also dive into: * The highest highs and lowest lows of the past year * What nobody tells you about working with your spouse * Lessons we've learned from real estate (and difficult people) * Why growth isn't always glamorous * The relationship "maintenance" nobody talks about * The hobbies, hyperfixations, and random purchases keeping us sane * Advice we'd give ourselves if we could go back one year If Episode 5 was the unhinged version of us, consider this the sequel, with slightly better communication skills and significantly more self-awareness. Pour a drink, settle in, and catch up with us.

Life Lately....

This week’s episode is exactly what the title says — just life lately. We’re catching up on everything from business and burnout to relationships, difficult clients, podcasting, and navigating hard seasons personally and professionally. Erika opens up about where things currently stand in her IVF journey, Paige talks about balancing work, motherhood, and the pressure of constantly being needed, and somehow we also end up discussing dead trees, bad clients, and why originality still matters. A little chaotic, a little emotional, and very much a real-life conversation between two people figuring it out as they go.

Why Nobody Remembers Most Agents Online ft. Kayla Fox

In this episode, we sit down with marketing strategist, podcast host, and Modern Agent Social Club’s own Kayla Fox to talk about the thing most agents are struggling with right now: being forgettable online. We get into: * why most Realtors blend together on social media * the difference between visibility vs. connection * “come with me” content vs. “look at me” content * building a personal brand without oversharing your life * why stories matter more than you think * how to become the go-to agent in your market * the pressure agents feel to look “professional” online * why your audience actually wants the real version of you This episode honestly felt like one giant brain storming session and we were taking notes right alongside you. If you’ve ever felt stuck posting the same recycled real estate content everyone else is posting… this one is for you.

How We Keep Showing Up (Even When We’re Struggling)

This week on Agents After Hours, we’re talking about the side of real estate nobody really prepares you for… having to show up for your clients while your own life feels heavy. From burnout, brain fog, ADHD, hormones, motherhood (or the journey to), grief, mental health, and trying to balance being a human while also running a business: we’re getting real about what it actually looks like behind the scenes when agents are struggling but still trying to give their clients the best experience possible. We talk about: * showing up for clients during hard seasons * feeling mentally overloaded and emotionally exhausted * boundaries, communication, and protecting your bandwidth * the pressure agents put on themselves * giving yourself grace while still staying professional * why support systems matter more than people realize * “factory resets,” mental health, and learning how to slow down This episode is honest, emotional, funny in true AAH fashion, and probably one a lot of agents (and honestly anyone self-employed) will relate to deeply. Because sometimes the show still goes on… even when life feels really hard. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts 📲 Follow along on Instagram, TikTok & YouTube for more behind-the-scenes chaos, honesty, and real conversations from the real estate world.

They Bet on Themselves (and Won): How Diego & Malu Are Building Wealth Through Real Estate + Helping Others Do The Same!

This episode is one we’ve been so excited to share. We’re sitting down with Diego & Malu, real estate investors, mentors, and honestly… two of the most inspiring people we know. Every time we leave a conversation with them, we walk away better. From losing $50,000 on an early flip to building a full-time business together as a husband-and-wife team, raising four kids, and creating multiple streams of income… their story is real, raw, and powerful. But what makes them stand out even more? They didn’t just figure it out for themselves, they’ve made it their mission to teach others how to do it too. Through their mentorship program, Diego & Malu are helping everyday people learn how to: * Find deals * Understand the numbers * Raise capital (even without using their own money) * And most importantly: develop the mindset needed to actually take action They’ve invested heavily into learning, made the mistakes, taken the losses, and now they’re pouring that knowledge back into others so they don’t have to learn the hard way. In this episode, we talk about: How they got started flipping houses (and what they’d do differently) * The biggest mistake that cost them $50K 💸 * What actually makes a deal worth it (numbers, strategy, mindset) * Working together as a couple (the real, unfiltered version) * Building a business while raising a family * And how they’re now mentoring others to create financial freedom through real estate This one is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, scared to take a risk, or unsure where to start.
