Most agents think they’re bad at follow-up — and that the right CRM will finally fix it. The real issue is who they’re following up with. The good news? This is an easy fix with dramatic results.In this episode, Matt & Garrett unpack why agents avoid their “real people” and instead chase strangers. A bloated, unfiltered database quietly sabotages both your systems and your confidence.

Winning isn’t accidental — and neither is falling off after a win.In this episode, Matt and Garrett break down the Thermostat Theory: the invisible standard you’ve set for yourself that quietly determines how high you rise… and when you stop.
