New episode of The Realest Agents Podcast is out now with our neighboring officemate, Tony Zerwas from Mission Home Loans.You may know Tony as:the mortgage guythe veteran advocateor the guy constantly photoshopping his head onto memesBut behind all the humor is someone who genuinely takes pride in helping veterans and educating people on VA home loans and the home buying process.We talked business, veterans, mortgages, entrepreneurship, and you'll hear plenty of laughing.

We may have temporarily waived attorney-client privilege for this one… 😅Our latest podcast episode features our good friend, business neighbor, and one of Isanti’s finest attorneys, Rachel Gillespie. We had a great conversation covering business, community, entrepreneurship, and plenty in between. Give it a listen!

We sat down with Janet Schaak, a woman of many talents and even more stories.From serving in the military, to turning wrenches as a diesel mechanic, firing up the smoker, making music, and hosting her own radio station.Janet’s path isn’t linear and neither is her impact. Everything she does is rooted in showing up, contributing, and caring about the place she calls home.

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Karla and Bre — two community-minded leaders who saw something special in Isanti and decided it was worth fighting for. When the City of Isanti announced it would discontinue Illuminate Isanti, the beloved winter light festival many families looked forward to each year, Karla and Bre stepped up.They created Isanti Together, a volunteer-driven group with one mission: keep the magic alive.Join us as we explore how this grassroots movement began, the passion behind their efforts, the challenges of taking on a city-run event as volunteers, and the big vision they have for the future of Illuminate Isanti and beyond.This episode is a celebration of community, leadership, and what happens when everyday people decide, “If not us, then who?”

This week we sat down with Jojo Spencer — lifelong community builder, photographer, and the creative mind behind one of Isanti’s most recognizable studios. We talked about his many roles over the years, the heart behind his photo business, and his perspective on what makes our community so special.A great conversation with an even better person.
