Freedom Is Success.

Freedom Is Success.

In Episode 10 of Success Equations, host Pat Hancock sits down with George Philbrick [https://www.linkedin.com/in/george-philbeck-b320bb7/], a real estate agent, coach, and partner at eXp Realty whose career includes over 5,000 homes sold and a legendary 997 homes sold in a single year. George defines success as freedom, then shares the unglamorous path that built it, from dropping out of high school and cooking in the military to running restaurants, hitting a ceiling, and finally jumping into real estate in 2003 with a simple strategy: find the best mentor, follow the model, and outwork the excuses. He breaks down how three hours of daily calls and relentless repetition made him dangerous, why most people fail because they refuse to do the boring reps, and how having a proven framework first gives you the right foundation before you “make it your own.” They also compare morning routines and discipline, including George’s 5 a.m. start with movement, gratitude journaling, meditation, affirmations, and training so he can stay focused early and win the day before distractions hit.

The New Definition of Success

In Episode 9 of Success Equations, host Pat Hancock sits down with Justice Bigot [https://www.linkedin.com/in/justice-bigot/], author and licensed commercial and residential real estate agent, for a conversation about how success evolves when life gets real. Justice shares how growing up with Haitian roots, strong education values, and early exposure to ownership planted the seed, then how layoffs during Covid pushed him to rethink everything and take control of his path through sales, real estate, and entrepreneurship. He talks about the mindset shift that happens when your “why” becomes family, how his mornings became his anchor through faith, training, and quiet focus before the day gets chaotic, and why consistency matters more than motivation when you are building a life you are proud of. If you are in a season where you want more ownership, more clarity, and a definition of success that actually feels true, this episode will hit home.

How to Win the Day

In Episode 8 of Success Equations, Pat Hancock goes solo and breaks down a simple framework to actually win the day, not just start it. He shares the non negotiables that define a “winning day” for him, including making the bed, reading 20 pages, and getting to the gym before work, plus why sleep and a consistent bedtime make the whole system work. Pat explains how to get one percent better daily using the Rule of 18, how to plan your week with a clear “Big Three,” and how to protect your time by eliminating distractions and executing with intensity. He closes with a practical accountability loop, journaling, affirmations, and the idea that you do not need a massive breakthrough, you need consistency, discipline, and one more rep, call, or action each day.

The Real Estate Shortcut Nobody Uses. Relationships.

In Episode 7 of Success Equations, Pat Hancock sits down with Bernadeau Charles [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bernadeau-charles-317b4836b/], commercial lender, real estate investor, and business owner, for a conversation that cuts through the highlight reel and gets into what actually builds momentum. Bernardo shares his story of coming from Haiti, doing everything he was told to do, getting the degree, landing the W2 job, and still feeling like something was missing until Rich Dad Poor Dad flipped the switch. Instead of making a risky jump too early, he breaks down his hybrid approach to freedom, keeping the paycheck while going remote so he could build intelligently, network, and scale without burning the boats. You will hear how one simple BiggerPockets post turned into a real meetup, a real community, and eventually his first deal, plus the hard lessons people do not post online, like a tenant trashing a rental and the pressure of raising money to close a deal. Bernardo explains why you cannot do this alone, how to stop panicking when problems hit, and why clarity plus community is the real advantage in business and real estate. If you want the truth behind building deals, confidence, and a network that saves you when things go sideways, press play.

Who Not How. The Hiring Shift That Finally Unlocked Growth.

In Episode 6 of Success Equations, Pat Hancock goes solo and breaks down the most expensive lesson he learned while building his businesses: trying to do everything himself for far too long. Pat walks through early partnerships that failed, the mistakes behind giving away equity without clear roles, and why misalignment quietly kills momentum. He shares the turning point in 2021 when meeting Mariani changed everything, and how applying the “Who Not How” mindset helped his business grow exponentially by focusing on the right people instead of forcing himself to be the answer to every problem. Pat also covers the real obstacle most founders face, how to pay great hires when revenue feels tight, what to cut, when leverage can help, and why hiring slow and firing fast protects the business. If you are stuck, stretched thin, or flatlining, this episode is a reset on what scaling actually requires.
