Work life balance in real estate is not a myth — but it requires a level of intentionality most agents never develop. Will Tompkins learned that the hard way when his daughter looked him straight in the eyes and said, "I hate that phone." Will is the team leader of The Home Connection at eXp Realty in Peoria, Illinois — a 20-member team he built and runs alongside his wife Hannah. In this conversation, Will opens up about the moment that changed everything, how he and Hannah protect their marriage while running a business together, and the systems he has built to create real work life balance for himself and every agent on his team. You will hear how Will turned a dinner table confrontation into a relationship-defining moment, why he asks every new agent about their vacation before they have made a single dollar, and what he means when he says the biggest mistake in real estate is jumping at everything. This episode is for any agent, team leader, or entrepreneur who is physically present but not actually there. "Just because you are there doesn't mean you are there."

Happy, healthy, wealthy, wise — in that exact order. Russ Lagan has this tattooed on his forearm, and this episode will show you exactly why the sequence changes everything. Russ Lagan is a serial entrepreneur and VP of Growth at eXp Realty, but what makes him worth listening to is not the title. It is the 30 years of marriage, the mountain climbs, the train derailments, the jobs he walked away from at peak pay, and the moment he stood at the top of his career and wanted nothing more than to be somewhere else. In this conversation, Russ breaks down the happy, healthy, wealthy, wise framework that has guided every major decision in his life and why most high performers have the order completely backwards. You will hear why happiness is a precursor to success and not the result of it, how to stop chasing the wrong mountain, and the one thing Russ told Mat's wife on the day he offered him the job that she said she had never heard from anyone before. If you are building a career and a life at the same time, this one is for you. "I was standing at the top and I wanted to hit myself in the head with my climbing axe. That is not the mountain you want to be on."

The entrepreneurial journey can cost you everything if you are not paying attention — and Leo Pareja, CEO of eXp Realty, learned that the hard way. Leo built multiple companies to massive scale, including a technology platform that reached 85% market share of every real estate agent in the United States. But the real lessons he shares here have nothing to do with revenue. In this conversation, Leo opens up about the dark side of the entrepreneurial journey — the loneliness, the mental health lows, the seasons where he turned into the very thing he swore he never would — and how ruthless prioritization became the framework that saved what mattered most. You will hear why Leo has not had dinner outside his family in years, how he thinks about lifestyle businesses versus growth businesses, and the one question that makes every hard decision easy. If you are building something and trying not to lose yourself or your family in the process, this episode will hit home. "I'll replace you tomorrow — but she can't."
