"...managing your mindset is pretty tough... what you consume and who you're around and where you spend your time and where you spend your energy... those all really feed into that." "...this is a level up moment. There's an opportunity." "...whoever is successful right now, it is because they have found a way to get much, much better at the job that they were already good at." "Leading through change is very different than managing the change that's coming to you." "...nobody likes change, but everybody loves innovation." "...if you don't have a good strategy on what change you're going to navigate moving forward, someone will come up with something for you that you may not love." "I personally don't care how many names are on our roster. I want to know that we have the best names on our roster." "There's a lot of strength and a lot of power in clarity." "Agents don't come into the office to do their work. They come in for something much more meaningful... engagement and that connection, that collaboration..." "...wanting to connect and delight and create an emotional connection with your clients... that hasn't changed." "It's about being in the people's lives... when you're in a market like we are, where it's life events..." "...moving forward, this isn't just like a hobby industry. I think there's too much on the line for it to be that moving forward." "[The industry] will get more refined and more sophisticated, which again, I think is great." "...helping [clients] leverage [options]... great news is we're in a market where people have equity and they've got options." "Momentum and morale are very closely connected. You cannot have one without the other..."
