Description

The Real Estate Leadership Unlocked Podcast is the go-to podcast for brokerage leaders who are serious about building profitable, scalable businesses — without the fluff.

Hosted by Debbie Lariviere, founder of Monter Coaching and strategic advisor to some of North America's top-performing brokerages, this show dives into the real conversations that rarely happen in real estate: leadership accountability, hiring mistakes, financial blind spots, and the systems that actually drive growth.

If you're a broker/owner, team leader, or executive ready to level up your business, this podcast will challenge your thinking, sharpen your strategy, and help you lead with metrics — not emotion.

Expect candid solo episodes, expert guest interviews, and real-world case studies pulled straight from Debbie's coaching work with mid-to-large brokerages doing $75M+ in volume.

This isn't another hype-filled agent podcast. This is where transformational brokerage leadership gets unlocked.

Debbie Lariviere is the owner and founder of Monter Coaching, where we believe leadership roles significantly impact an organization's culture, driving toward a more inclusive and equitable environment. This shift not only helps in attracting and retaining top talent from all backgrounds but also resonates with a diverse customer base, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
