A former physicist walks into the studio and suddenly the Law of Attraction stops sounding like a slogan and starts sounding like a system. Randy Lyman, author of The Third Element, joins us to unpack the “missing key” most people skip: emotions. Not performative feelings, not workplace drama, but the kind of honest emotional awareness that changes how you lead, how you relate, and what you keep attracting into your life.
We talk through Randy’s turning point moment, an intense emotional release that was followed by a real shift in his day-to-day reality, and why he sees that as cause and effect. From there we go into the deeper framework: resonance across your thoughts, your actions, and your emotional state. We also explore the quantum physics references that shaped his model, including the double slit experiment and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, plus a practical lens most of us can relate to like the reticular activating system and how intention changes what you notice.
If you’re a leader, this gets personal fast. Randy explains why feelings are already running the show even when you pretend they aren’t, how to process emotions without making decisions from them, and what people need more than money at work: acknowledgement, contribution, and belonging. He shares a simple four-column writing exercise to make stress tangible and find the real emotion under the judgment.

This Week's Guest: Heather Younger
Chaos at work has a way of exposing what’s real. When the market shifts, a reorg lands, or anxiety spreads across a team, people don’t look for a perfect leader. They look for a steady one. That’s why I sat down with Heather Younger, a leadership and workplace culture keynote speaker, researcher, and best-selling author known for her work on caring leadership and what she calls becoming unshakable.
We get into the nuts and bolts of what “care” actually looks like on the job. Heather breaks caring leadership down into clear, visible behaviors like active listening, building trust, creating psychological safety, and setting expectations that eliminate confusion. We also challenge the common mistake of treating care as “being nice.” Kind leadership can include tough feedback, guardrails, and accountability that protects the team and helps people find the right fit, not just the comfortable path.
Then we go deeper into self-leadership and self-regulation: values, fear, progress over perfection, and the ability to pause before you react. Heather shares why selective vulnerability matters, how leaders can acknowledge hard moments without spilling stress onto their people, and why steadiness is a practice, not a personality trait. We also preview her upcoming book, The Unshakable Team, including the canoe metaphor and practical tools like a team stability scan and a steadiness index designed to help leaders navigate uncertainty.
If you lead people, build culture, or simply want more resilience at work, you’ll leave with a clearer playbook for trust, emotional intelligence, and stability when it counts. Subscribe, share this with a leader who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Brad (and Hugo) sit down with Mary Kelly from Omnia Integrative Health and Med Spa to separate signal from noise, by starting with a simple summer problem most of us get wrong: when to apply sunscreen and why sweating changes everything. From there, we get into what Mary actually does day-to-day as a registered nurse, aesthetic injector, and certified nurse health coach and why not so accurate social media marketing creates confusion around skincare, supplements, and quick-fix promises.
We go deep on aesthetic medicine with a safety-first lens: what Botox really does, how “preventative Botox” works by reducing repetitive facial movement, and why filler is a totally different category with higher stakes. Mary breaks down collagen stimulation, modern filler techniques that aim for natural movement, and the importance of anatomy training, including her most recent cadaver lab work. We also talk red flags to watch for when choosing an injector (obviously use Mary to get the best results), what can go wrong, and how good practices include explaining risks and inviting you back for quick tweaks if something looks off.
Then we pivot to the wellness side, including GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, why they’ve been around longer than people think, and why the best outcomes require medical supervision, body composition tracking, protein, and resistance training to protect muscle and reduce the “GLP-1 face” look. Mary also shares the lab work many patients never get through standard insurance panels, including fasting insulin for insulin resistance and ApoB for cardiovascular disease risk, plus how vitamin D and B vitamins fit into a smarter preventive medicine plan. We close with longevity topics like perimenopause, menopause, and safer hormone replacement therapy options that prioritize metabolic health first.

You can tell when a book is written by a real person, because it sounds like a real person. After four months of calls, drafts, and “ghost doctoring,” my ghostwriter Matt Harms, founder of Pen For Hire, finally joins me in the studio to talk about what it actually takes to turn messy notes and life stories into a finished manuscript, and why the best ghostwriting never feels like someone else taking over your voice.
We dig into the nuts and bolts of ghostwriting: how Matt keeps projects moving when clients are busy, how he pulls the right stories out of you with the kind of questions that feel suspiciously therapeutic, and what “good collaboration” looks like when you’re building trust fast. We also talk about the reality that most books do not earn back their cost in direct sales, and why that is not the point. A great nonfiction book can still be your most powerful credibility tool, your clearest philosophy statement, and a way to help one reader at the exact right moment.
AI shows up in a big way too. Matt shares a genuinely exciting use case: AI-assisted illustration for children’s books that can turn families into consistent characters and speed up production. Then we flip to the downside, why AI writing often reads polished but empty, and why “garbage in, garbage out” still rules. If you’re thinking about writing a book and wondering whether to hire a ghostwriter, choose a publisher package, or try author coaching, this conversation will help you pick the path that matches your budget, timeline, and goals.

You can love your daughter more than anything and still feel like you’re speaking different languages. That’s the tension we dig into with Madeline Anderson, founder of Girl Dad Network and author of Girl Dad, as we get honest about what actually builds a strong father daughter relationship and why so many families drift into distance without meaning to.
We talk about how Madeline went from a UCLA business economics track and a finance career into a purpose-driven mission after realizing something was missing and stress was piling up. From there, we unpack what she noticed in college: a lot of young women carry real pain around their dads, often fueled by disconnects more than bad intent. Her key idea is powerful: it’s rarely a “dad problem” or a “daughter problem” so much as a communication translation issue, and translation can be learned.
Then we get practical. We cover how distractions and phones create an attention gap, why “including your daughter in your world” can be a game-changer, and how even a simple invitation to join you for football, golf, music, or errands rewrites the story she tells herself about her worth. We also break down a topic every dad of a teenage daughter should understand: hormonal cycles, mood shifts, and how to respond with grace without walking on eggshells.
If you want parenting tips that improve connection, reduce conflict, and help you become the steady North Star your daughter can trust, you’ll get a lot from this conversation. Subscribe, share this with a fellow dad, and leave a review with the one insight you’re taking into your home.

AI is updating at a pace most of us have never had to keep up with, and that speed is exactly why so many smart people feel overwhelmed or suspicious. We sit down with Saiid Zamani, an AI trainer and active real estate agent, to make it simple, practical, and real. Our goal is not to hype the tech or fear-monger about robots. We want to show how AI actually fits into everyday work and where the “human advantage” still wins every time.
We talk about what AI is already changing, from toll booths disappearing to the way buyers search for homes on platforms like Homes.com, Zillow, and Redfin. Saiid explains why AI may replace certain tasks, but it does not replace trust, emotional intelligence, and the ability to read the room, which is the core of real estate and most relationship-driven businesses. We also break down how agents and small business owners can use AI to follow up faster, write clearer messages, and deliver more value without building a giant team.
Then we get hands-on with tools: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Google NotebookLM. Saiid shares how he uses AI as a “thought partner,” including voice conversations to sharpen presentations and turn daily notes into bullet points and checklists. We also cover free vs paid plans, why limits matter when you use AI heavily, and the two guardrails we both care about: privacy and personalization settings.

Your name is a search result now, and your brand is either being built on purpose or built by accident. We talk with Rizzo “King Kongin”, a marketer and creator who turned a competitive personal energy into a brand and an energy drink, then sold the formulation while keeping the King Kongin identity as a long-term platform.
We get into the real origin story: planking challenges, relentless repetition, and the decision to be everywhere with your message. Rizzo breaks down how Master P helped shape the blueprint, what it takes to earn access to rooms with major celebrities, and why “opportunity” is more like a box of puzzle pieces than a finished picture. If you care about entrepreneurial mindset, product marketing, and personal branding, this conversation stays grounded in action and consequences.
Then we go where most people avoid: partnerships. We talk about how deals go sideways when roles, budgets, and expectations are not clear from day one. From there, we zoom into AI search, Gemini, YouTube, and short-form video tools, plus the practical reality that AI models learn your reputation from what you publish. If you want to control the narrative around your business, real estate brand, or athlete profile, this is the playbook.

One torn-up knee can change a whole life, but only if you’re willing to look for the lesson instead of the loss. Sam Demma, Author of Empty Your Backpack, joins us to share how a serious soccer setback became the starting point for a decade of keynote speaking, service, and storytelling built on one principle: small, consistent actions.
We dig into the moments that shaped Sam’s message, from picking up trash as a first “small action,” to a flight attendant who turned a paper cup into a phone stand just to help a stranger. That tiny act of kindness turned into a viral story with real-world impact, reminding us that the best leadership skills are often quiet, human, and repeatable. Sam also tells the pandemic-era “Be Someone’s Taco” story, a simple food delivery that became a symbol of hope, a kids book, and a surprising ripple effect in schools.
Along the way, we talk practical tools for communication and personal growth: how to capture story moments in real time, why using someone’s name changes the entire tone of an interaction, and the “spilled coffee theory” for what comes out of us when life bumps us. We also get into what Sam sees in students today, especially fear of judgment and the need for someone to go first, plus what it looks like to build a team and buy back your time without losing the joy.

OUR GUEST THIS WEEK IS: Pete Heim, Realtor
One in three buyers may be teaming up to buy a home, and that single stat raises a huge question: is co-buying the future of homeownership, or a shortcut that can blow up later? We dig into what co-buying actually means (non-married co-borrowers, friends, relatives, and partners), why it’s rising, and how it can turn rent money into a real estate investment when affordability is tight and inventory is thin.
We also zoom out to what the 2026 housing market looks like beyond the headlines. We talk through National Association of Realtors data on home prices across metro areas, why interest rate shifts ripple through demand, and how the Northeast continues to surprise with pockets that stay competitive. Then we get specific about what we’re seeing in places like Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland: new construction popping up, retirees rethinking where they land, and the real draw of lower taxes and no sales tax.
From there, we move into practical buyer strategy. We explain why a fully underwritten approval can beat a basic pre-approval, how offering a short post-settlement occupancy to the seller can make a financed offer feel less stressful, and why targeting listings that have been sitting for 20+ days can be a smarter path than chasing the hottest house on day one. We also unpack the wild equity story: homeowners are sitting on about $11 trillion in tappable home equity, and only a small slice has been accessed, which helps explain how some buyers compete like cash.
If you want a clearer read on housing inventory, co-buying risk, cash buyer pressure, and real tactics that can win in a competitive market, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s trying to buy, and leave us a review with your biggest homebuying question.

A family drives home from a swim meet thinking about Christmas plans and seconds later everything is unrecognizable. Our guest, John Ulsh, walks us through the head-on collision that nearly killed him and his entire family, the other driver’s death, and the recovery that followed: massive internal injuries, an induced coma, a nursing home stay, paralysis, and a long list of surgeries that kept coming for years.
We also talk about the parts people don’t see when they hear a “survival story” headline: survivor’s guilt, chronic pain, the loneliness of nighttime in a facility, and the moment hope feels like it disappears. John shares a near-death experience he still can’t fully explain, then gets painfully honest about what finally helped him move forward, including a simple reason he could actually believe and a willingness to rebuild his identity instead of chasing his old life.
One of the biggest pivots comes when his daughter tells him she misses her “old daddy.” That pushes John to take ownership of his rehab, find a new kind of training, and learn a powerful mindset shift: there is pain you can’t control and pain you can control, and controlled pain can become progress. From there, we get into resilience, self-advocacy in healthcare, why he’s fired doctors, how he built a personal “board of directors,” and the lessons behind his book The Upside of Down: A Survivor’s Guide to Turning Setbacks into Success.
If you care about overcoming adversity, trauma recovery, chronic pain mindset, resilience training, and turning setbacks into fuel, you’ll get a lot out of this conversation. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the biggest takeaway you’re applying this week.

We sit down with Mitchell Osmond of the Dad Nation Podcast and get brutally honest about what it means to be a present dad in a noisy world, where work, phones, and stress quietly steal the only thing we can’t earn back: time.
We talk about the stats that reframe everything: how fast your time with your kids drops as they grow, and why that “one focused hour” each day can shape a child’s confidence for life. Mitchell breaks down the two questions kids ask under the surface, “Am I enough?” and “Do I have what it takes?” and how a father’s encouragement, belief, and consistent presence can keep them from searching for worth in all the wrong places. We also get into the father-daughter dynamic, including how the way we treat our wives becomes the blueprint our daughters normalize.
Then we zoom out to marriage and communication, because strong families are built on strong partnerships. Mitchell shares a clear framework for what wives often need to feel secure: seen, heard, and safe, along with simple active listening tools that lower defensiveness and rebuild connection. We also unpack emotional disconnection, the quiet drift that damages relationships long before any big blowup.

Swiping has trained us to judge people like trading cards, then wonder why dating feels hollow. Brad sits down with Amberlei Ann Oates, the Founder and CEO of RadarQR, to talk about a bold alternative: build connection where chemistry actually lives, face to face, in public, with better tools to break the ice.
Amberlei shares how being single in San Francisco pushed her to “flip the script” on modern online dating. Instead of spending hours swiping just to earn a first meeting, RadarQR helps you meet in the real world first and use a QR code profile to bridge the awkward moment safely. We get into why rejection fear holds so many people back, why men often feel frozen about approaching, and how authenticity shows up in the details a photo cannot capture like voice, humor, kindness, and the way you treat others.
We also dig into how the app works: QR cards you can hand out, profiles with photos and videos, and a hotspot map where you can choose to check in and see who else is open to meeting people nearby. That opt-in visibility matters, because Amber brings a military intelligence lens to privacy and safety, explaining why sharing phone numbers or social accounts can expose far more personal information than most people realize. The conversation expands beyond dating into friendships, community, and networking at conferences, plus how local hotspots can benefit from real foot traffic instead of more screen time.
If you want a dating app alternative that prioritizes real-world connection, safer social discovery, and mental health, you’ll want to hear this. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s tired of swiping, and leave a review with your take: should meeting in person be the default again?

Most money advice tells you to grind harder, save more, and wait. We don’t buy it. Brad sits down with author and entrepreneur finance expert Garrett Gunderson to talk about a different target: financial independence, where cash flow covers your life and work becomes optional. Along the way, we get real about the cost of living on “someday,” and why building wealth should improve your quality of life now, not just your net worth later.
Garrett shares what he learned studying generational wealth and the Rockefeller strategy, including the practical moves families can borrow even without billionaire money: trusts that carry instructions, life insurance used for liquidity and tax-efficient legacy planning, and a modern version of a family office where advisors actually coordinate. We also dig into the human side of wealth, like investing in heirs through family retreats, building shared rituals, and writing a family constitution in your own words so values travel with the assets. (I LOVE THIS)
Then we take on retirement planning, 401(k)s, taxes, and the hidden drains Garrett calls the Four I’s: IRS, interest, investments, and insurance. The GE pension story is a sharp lesson in stability, sequence-of-returns risk, and what happens when greed replaces good structure. We also talk “investor DNA,” why taking bigger risks isn’t the same as getting better returns, and why investing in yourself is often the highest ROI move you can make. (key take away)
If you’ve ever wondered how to create generational wealth, protect your assets, and still enjoy the life you’re building, this conversation gives you a clear starting point.

OUR Guest this Week: Rick Elmore
*We apologize for the sound quality with this weeks guest*
You know that split-second reaction when you spot a handwritten envelope in a pile of junk mail and bills? We’re chasing that moment of attention and what it means for modern marketing with Rick Elmore, former NFL defensive end and the founder and CEO of Simply Noted.
Rick walks us through the real economics of the NFL, why “not for long” is more than a joke, and how an identity crisis after football pushed him into sales, an MBA, and eventually entrepreneurship. The turning point is surprisingly simple: handwritten notes get opened, remembered, and trusted, but almost nobody has the time to write them at scale. So Rick tested the idea, proved the response, then built the infrastructure to make it real, including custom handwriting robots that put actual pen on paper.
We also get practical about scaling a self-funded business: production capacity, engineering costs, and the painful lesson that what gets you to a few million in revenue will not get you to the next level. Then we go full modern with direct mail tracking, QR code attribution, and Rick’s bullish take on AI for small business, including how he runs AI SDRs to book meetings.

One shot can freeze time and then speed your whole life up. Kris Jenkins, the Villanova guard who buried the legendary 4.7-second buzzer beater to win the 2016 national championship, joins us for a real, behind-the-scenes breakdown of what that moment felt like and why it wasn’t luck. We talk about the game’s momentum swings, the pressure of the last possession, and the instant he knew the ball was going in because the “work was already done.”
From there, we zoom out to the part people forget: what happens after the highlight goes viral. Kris shares how quickly the fame hit, what it’s like waking up to major media attention, and how he kept his friendships and mindset steady when the world suddenly wanted photos and autographs. We also get into a wild layer of the story, facing his brother on the opposite side of the championship game, and how that changes the emotional weight of winning and losing.
Kris also brings his perspective into today’s college sports reality, including NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). We unpack why athletes deserve to be paid, why the system can still go too far without guardrails, and why financial literacy and long-term thinking matter when money shows up early. He shares how he now uses these lessons in public speaking for athletes and organizations, focusing on leadership, dominant teams, finding your role, and meeting your moment.

Our Guest This WEEK: Jeremy Schreifels
Most people don’t fail at podcasting because they lack talent, they fail because they pick the wrong topic and they can’t stay consistent long enough for trust to compound. That’s why this conversation with Jeremy Schreifels hit so hard for us. Jeremy is the executive producer and founder of Box Seven Media, and he brings a musician’s ear to podcast production, audiobook creation, and video content that actually connects.
We get into the nuts and bolts of podcasting trends like video podcasting and why recording on a platform like Riverside gives you options later. Jeremy breaks down why a single strong episode can fuel your podcast marketing system with 35 to 40 pieces of repurposed content, something you simply can’t squeeze out of one blog post or one social post. We also talk about the real reason shows fade out after episode 8 and again after episode 21, and how passion and curiosity are the only sustainable fix.
Then we go deep on audiobooks: why they’re life-changing for people who don’t love reading, why author-read audiobooks carry more emotion, and how listening at 1.2x speed can keep your attention locked in. Jeremy also shares a smart creator move: add bonus audio that never appears in print. We wrap with leadership ideas we keep thinking about, from “change your questions, change your growth” to the “peeps in your Jeep” lesson on surrounding yourself with the right people, plus Jeremy’s push for true royalty-free theme music so creators don’t get flagged.

His mom didn’t show up to a foreclosure auction to buy a building. She showed up to beg to stay. Then she raised her hand, outbid the bank, scraped together the money, and walked out a landlord. That true story is where Andy Henriquez built the message “Show Up For Your Life” and it sets the tone for a conversation about courage, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to act before you feel ready.
Andy and I also go deep on storytelling as a real world skill for business, leadership, coaching, and personal branding. We unpack why most people try to persuade with features and credentials, why nobody cares about a “human trophy case,” and how a well told story creates the fastest path to trust. If you’ve ever struggled to sell your service, lead a team, or even get people to listen, this is the practical framework you’ve been missing: connect before you sell, paint the destination, and make people feel the point.
We also talk about authenticity in the AI age. As fake images, fake videos, and polished scripts flood the internet, real human connection becomes a competitive advantage. Andy explains why signature stories win, how to find yours through challenges and defining moments, and how to stop speaking from the mountaintop and start meeting people in the valley where they actually live.

“What if the health system isn’t designed to keep you healthy?” That question sets the tone as we talk with Jay Campbell (while he was on vacation in Mexico) about what it actually takes to get fully optimized, not just “treated.” We start with Jay’s personal turning point: a sports injury that led to lab work, a shocking testosterone result, and a crash course in hormone optimization that changed how he thinks about energy, pain, mood, and performance.
From there, we get into the real nuts and bolts of peptides and the GLP-1 wave. Jay explains why GLP-1 peptides became mainstream through Ozempic and Wegovy, what they do for appetite and glucose control, and why so many people run into trouble when they treat them like a shortcut. We dig into microdosing, protecting muscle with resistance training, and how “Ozempic face” and other side effects can often come down to high doses and zero lifestyle structure. If you care about metabolic health, insulin resistance, obesity, body composition, and longevity, this conversation connects the dots.
We also go beyond injections and talk biohacking choices that carry real risk or real upside. Jay shares why he’s high on oxygen and ozone hydrotherapy for recovery, sleep, and energy, and why cold plunges can be overrated and even dangerous for unconditioned people. We wrap with Jay’s new book Metabolic Awakening With GLP-1 Peptides and where to get his free resources.

Hope doesn’t always look heroic. Sometimes it’s a nine-year-old whispering a fearful prayer, a college student lying on the floor searching for sleep, or a friend deciding to make one more call before the dark closes in. We sat down with Author, Podcast Host and Psychology student Andelina Storm to trace how childhood loss led to OCD and anxiety, how depression blindsided her in college, and how faith and practical tools helped her trade control for peace. Her message is simple and hard: put a comma in your story, not a period.
Andelina shares the moment a friend’s suicide reshaped her path and why she became a Promise To Live ambassador, turning grief into a mission to interrupt the ripple of silence. We unpack the difference between everyday nerves and clinical anxiety, why stigma still lingers even as awareness grows, and how small, repeatable habits create room for breath—sleep rhythms, grounding exercises, community check-ins, sunlight, music, and even the quiet medicine of petting a dog. She explains how she channels obsessive tendencies into useful structure and why depression, more than anxiety, demanded a new playbook.
We also explore her debut book,Sanity in the Storm, and her podcast, Peace in the Storm, where she blends scripture with evidence-based coping strategies to meet Gen Z where they are. For skeptics and believers alike, Andelina treats the Bible as durable wisdom for restless minds, pairing it with psychology to build an integrated approach to mental health. You’ll hear a moving cameo from her father on the hidden cost families carry—and the fierce pride of watching a daughter choose life, again and again.

The headlines say “uncertainty,” but for prepared investors it reads “opening.” We sit down with multifamily leader Rod Khleif to unpack how he lost $50 million in 2008, rebuilt faster the second time, and why apartments—not scattered single-family—gave him the operational leverage to weather storms. Rod goes deep on the difference makers: centralized maintenance, tighter demographics, and income-driven valuations that can turn tough cycles into launchpads.
From there, we get practical. Rod outlines the “law of the first deal,” a real phenomenon where the first acquisition is the slowest and scariest, yet the next two come quickly as confidence compounds. He shares a clear path for new and seasoned operators: play to your strengths, partner for your gaps, and build a bench of lenders, managers, and investors before you need them. With a trillion-dollar commercial “debt wall” approaching and adjustable-rate loans expiring, he expects more auctions, lender takebacks, and real pricing power for buyers who underwrite conservatively and move decisively.
Mindset isn’t fluff here—it’s infrastructure. Rod opens his trainings with goal setting that ties numbers to a strong why, then he practices daily gratitude for what he has and what he wants as if it already exists. That forward-focused habit kept him steady after achieving a long-visualized beach mansion left him oddly empty, and it led him to the Tiny Hands Foundation—providing meals, backpacks, and comfort to kids and families in need. His takeaway: achievement is a science, fulfillment is an art, and service accelerates both.
If you’re scanning the horizon for multifamily opportunities, this conversation gives you the map and the motor. Learn how to avoid the single-family traps that sank portfolios last cycle, position for distressed deals without reckless risk, and build habits that outlast any market.

Ever wonder why “normal” lab results still leave you feeling flat, foggy, and stuck? We dig into a smarter path with John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, and unpack how proactive care—rooted in data and daily habits—can pull you off the slow slide toward metabolic disease and back into high performance living. This is a conversation about building a stronger engine and a more resilient body, not chasing quick fixes.
John shares the pivotal tests that change the game: DNA analysis to understand nutrient handling and risk, DEXA to expose visceral fat and lean mass, VO2 max to measure cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiac imaging to benchmark true heart risk. From there, we get practical. Muscle and VO2 max aren’t gym buzzwords; they’re the strongest predictors of longevity. We break down how resistance training and conditioning restore insulin sensitivity, reduce systemic inflammation, and dramatically cut all-cause mortality. We also get honest about ultra-processed foods, excess calories, and the “food noise” that keeps you snacking.
We tackle the GLP-1 wave with nuance. Used with medical guidance, enough protein, and a lifting plan, these medications can curb cravings, lower inflammation, and accelerate fat loss. Used alone, they risk muscle loss and rebound. We then contrast rushed primary care with an aligned model that gives you time, access, and incentives that favor real results—plus thoughtful hormone optimization for men and women that targets energy, body composition, mood, and cognition without relying on imprecise pellets.
If you’re ready to replace guesswork with a plan—and trade “fine” for focused, lean, and clear—this is your blueprint. Subscribe, share this episode with someone who needs a reset, and leave a review telling us the first habit you’ll change this week.

Anxiety isn’t just a feeling—it’s a pattern wired by past experiences and reinforced by daily stress. We sit down with Dr. Brian Alman to unpack why so many of us run tense, sleep poorly, and carry headaches and stomach aches, and how those signals trace back to unresolved adversity. He explains how ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) and positive experience assessments reveal the hidden roots of adult anxiety, addiction, and burnout, and how to turn that awareness into real change.
Dr. Alman’s approach is both scientific and human. He connects epigenetics, immune system load, and chronic stress, showing why the body can’t heal while it’s busy fighting emotional fires. Then he lays out a practical sequence: start with awareness, move to unconditional acceptance, express what was never voiced, and get past the inner judge that says “you should be over this.” On the other side is your inner wisdom—steady, compassionate, actionable. His tree metaphor makes it clear: feelings are the roots, thoughts the trunk, behaviors the branches; healthy branches require healthy roots.
We also get into daily tools that fit real life. Think two to three-minute techniques that downshift your nervous system and help you process today’s stress before it stacks into tomorrow’s anxiety. For parents, Dr. Alman shares simple ways to practice patience, model acceptance, and remember the younger “rings” within each of us. And we challenge the myth of instant enlightenment, redefining it as a journey toward unconditional self-acceptance—progress measured one situation at a time.

What does it really take to build a reality show from scratch—and keep it yours? Jeff Peiffer and his daughter Rachel, open up about the long road to Flipping Farms, from a hallway pitch and a film festival pivot to self-funding a million-dollar season and weathering a $728K scam. It’s a story of stubborn optimism, spreadsheets, and choosing creative control over easy money, set against the unpredictability of farm life and the joy of a father–daughter team pushing design into bold territory.
We dig into the business of horses and hard lessons learned. Stall board looks lucrative until the labor hours and human drama stack up; field board reduces friction and protects margins. Along the way, a midnight horse retrieval, a law-and-order standoff, and a check that somehow cleared show why documentation and calm negotiations matter. Then there’s design: black interiors, unconventional finishes, and thoughtful sequencing that turn rural properties into standout listings. Skepticism gives way to trust as the finished spaces prove the vision. If you’re curious about farm flipping, indie production, or how to sell a property with story and style, this conversation has the practical detail and the heart.
We also share how Uncommon Success, our original podcast, became a launchpad, why imaginative pitching and a film festival award changed our trajectory, and how the right producers helped us shape a season without sacrificing values. Expect candid behind-the-scenes moments: the “twin” fix for a beard continuity problem, Steven’s whirlwind love story in Africa, and the realities of keeping a content pipeline fresh across seasons.

What if the world isn’t holding you back—your beliefs are?
We sit down with Anders Hansen, CEO of Real Magic, to explore how illusions reveal the shortcuts our minds take and how shifting identity can unlock results that look impossible from the outside. From a floating glass to a domino trick your brain tries to complete, Anders shows that the real sleight of hand happens in our perception—and that’s exactly where transformation begins.
We dig into the five mental illusions that keep ambitious people stuck in hustle, fear, lack, grind, or luck. Anders explains why fascination opens the door for new ideas to land, how agreement cements them, and why shock is a costly teacher. The conversation moves from theory to practice as we break down A, B, and C goals—and why C goals, the ones you truly want, carry an energetic pull that makes 10x simpler than 2x. Along the way, Anders shares his own reinvention from burnout to breakthrough, the role of mentorship, and the power of choosing identity before outcomes.
If you’ve ever obsessed over price instead of results, or traded time for money while ignoring the leverage of ideas, this one will reset your compass. We talk self-image as the performance ceiling, the ego’s trap of waiting for the world to change, and the soul’s path of feeling first so reality can follow. You’ll leave with a practical lens to rewire reality: upgrade beliefs, set imagination-led targets, and build daily proof that matches who you decide to be.

What if a steakhouse hello changed your life? That’s the spark behind Scot Teller’s leap from local pizza legend to playing Paulie in the upcoming movie “I Play Rocky,” the new Peter Farrelly–directed film about Stallone’s relentless fight to star in his own script. We get into the improbable path: standing in on sets for camera and lighting, reconnecting with Griffin Dunne on a Lancaster shoot, and waking up to a text that led to Farrelly’s call. The audition wasn’t a layup—Scott had to earn it—but the resemblance to Burt Young, the work ethic, and the steady mindset made the difference.
We talk about the deeper engine behind this break: years earlier, Scott lost almost everything after bad investments and trusted partnerships went wrong. As a single dad in a spiral, he reached for a simple mantra—“What would Rocky do?”—and used it to reframe his days, guard his circle, and filter out noise. That shift in focus unlocked the kind of presence that crews love and directors trust. If you’re chasing a creative pivot or a late-blooming dream, you’ll hear concrete lessons on reputation, showing up for small opportunities, and the quiet power of staying ready.
There’s plenty of film love too. Scot shares why the casting for Rocky, Adrian, and Mickey feels uncannily right, what makes Paulie such a demanding role to inhabit, and how production is rolling across New Jersey and Philadelphia toward a 2026 release. It’s a full-circle story: a fan who credits Rocky with saving his life now honoring Burt Young’s legacy on screen. If resilience, serendipity, and behind-the-scenes filmmaking light you up, this one’s for you.

Our Guest this week is Pete Heim
A national headline won’t tell you why locally we climbed 5.7% while the U.S. barely cleared 2.1%—but we will. We unpack the real numbers behind 2025’s housing market, spotlight the Northeast’s outsized role, and share what those trends mean for smarter decisions in 2026. From absorption near a month to a 23-day local average time on market, the signals point to a tight, resilient region where pricing strategy and product quality matter more than ever.
We also dig into the gap between seller expectations and reality. 8 out of 10 sellers think they’ll get over asking, but only 1 in 4 do—because price still sets the stage. With rates hovering near the low 6's and the long-term average near 7.7%, the “lock-in” freeze is thawing as life events push more owners to list. If mortgage rates slip under 6%, expect a wave of new inventory, better choice for buyers, and calmer, sustainable appreciation in the 3% to 4% range locally.
City markets remain pocketed and unpredictable: million-dollar rowhomes draw multiple offers in the right blocks while similar-price properties stall a few neighborhoods away. We explore how micro location, condition, and policy shape outcomes, from proposed rent caps in New York City to on-the-ground redevelopment stories like the Exeter Promenade. The through-line is clear: local economics and property rights guide investment, pricing, and timing far more than national averages do.
Want the edge for 2026? Use clean pricing, strong prep; watch neighborhood data, not just headlines; and track how rates and policy shifts could open or close windows.

Ready for a reframe that actually changes how you lead? We sit down with transformational coach Dan Tocchini to unpack why conflict isn’t a detour from progress but the most reliable road to it. From the first moment you commit to a bold outcome, resistance appears. Dan shows how to meet that resistance with clear aims, better questions, and conversations that create alignment instead of drama.
We dive into the mindset shift that turns breakdowns into breakthroughs. Rather than fall into blame, shame, or chasing credit, Dan walks us through a simple operating system: accept the results your system produces, then ask what’s working, what’s not, and what’s missing for the future you’re committed to. We also explore how to argue well. You’ll learn to slow down, surface premises, avoid logical traps, and take the other person’s side so well they nod. That’s how teams get smarter fast.
When defensiveness spikes, Dan offers a disarming move: ask what could be true in what they’re saying. Pair that with honest speech—naming what’s real for you now—and you speed up the path to truth and trust. We round out with The Change Imperative, Dan’s practical framework for leading transitions: identify natural influencers, win the fence-sitters, engage the levelers, and expect turbulence before lift. If you want meetings with less heat and more light, this one’s a playbook.

The Weisman Family Christmas with Brad, Jess, Catherine and Carson
The room is buzzing before the mics even warm up—tree debates, cookie takes, and the joyful chaos that only a family Christmas special can deliver. We invite you into our living room as we swap stories about real trees versus fake, the power of a good holiday soundtrack, and why Christmas Eve still hits like magic. If you’ve ever argued over which movie starts the season or whether peppermint deserves a permanent spot in the freezer, you’ll feel right at home.
We move from traditions to taste—Plow Farms popcorn while picking the tree, the Colors of Christmas album during decorating, and Andrea Bocelli on repeat when the house finally quiets. The kids put in their votes for advent calendars, school news segments, and those TastyKake cookies that somehow disappear faster than the beef and lobster on Christmas Day. We revisit the greatest gifts—PS5s and Starter Jackets, Ataris and Pianos—and consider what rising wish lists say about what we value now: time, tools, and the chance to make something together. There’s even a hopeful plea for a 3D printer, because creativity is a gift that keeps giving.
Beyond the fun, we sit with what matters most: gratitude for health, faith that centers the season, and the steady warmth of being together. Not everyone gets these moments, and that awareness deepens the meaning of the ones we do have. From Christmas Vacation and Elf to Carol of the Bells and the Post-Thanksgiving music rule, this is a cheerful, honest snapshot of a family finding rhythm, laughter, and purpose in December.

This Week's Guest, Bogdan Micov, says what if POWER didn’t feel like a sprint, a grind, or a clenched jaw? We sit down with transformation expert Bogdan Micov to unpack calm power—the inner state where real performance lives. Instead of pushing harder and burning out, Bogdan shows how clarity, presence, and responsibility create leverage that force never can.
We trace results back to behavior, behavior back to emotional state, and emotional state back to meaning-making. Thoughts are neutral until your filters—deletion, distortion, and generalization—assign a story. Change the story and the chemistry changes too. Bogdan walks us through practical reframes you can use in real time, like turning road rage into curiosity by recognizing “I don’t know what I don’t know.” The payoff is immediate: less cortisol, more choice, better decisions. He also explains why common coping tactics can soothe but rarely stick, and why deletion—removing stored emotional charge and unhelpful beliefs—creates permanent freedom.
Bogdan’s method was forged after a stroke at 33 forced a full-life reset. He left high-pressure hospitality leadership and immersed in NLP, hypnosis, timeline and parts work, cognitive-behavioral science, and breath traditions from Hawaii and Tibetan practice. The result is the Be Relentless method, built to locate and clear root causes fast so high performers, entrepreneurs, and leaders can execute without the emotional drag. We dig into language as a performance tool—why saying “not easy” beats “hard,” and how calling stress a verb (stressing) puts you back in the driver’s seat.
If you’re ready to stop stacking hacks and start removing what’s in the way, this conversation will give you a clear map: take responsibility for meaning, interrupt the old strategy, and remember who you were before you forgot. Subscribe for more conversations on mindset, performance, and emotional freedom, and share this with someone who could use more calm power today.
My Gosh this is so good... please do yourself a favor and listen to this episode!! - Brad Weisman

Guest: Pete Heim
Ever notice how a deal can feel perfect on paper and still fall apart in real life? We dig into the blind spot almost no one talks about: when buyers or sellers hit personal turbulence and go quiet, negotiations get weird, deadlines slip, and good offers sour. We make the case for smart transparency—sharing just enough context with your agent to turn emotion into a practical plan, earn patience from the other side, and keep the closing on track without oversharing.
From there, we widen to the places that shape our neighborhoods. Malls that once delivered large department stores (called Anchors), food courts, and seasonal buzz now struggle to offer compelling experiences. Our Berkshire story fits a national pattern: fewer anchors, thinner tenant mix, minimal dining. Yet there’s a twist of hope nearby—a major hotel property under new ownership aiming to reboot with fitness, events, a pub and grill, and a big-name coffee partner. It’s a case study in adaptive reuse and a signal that mixed-use destinations with daily utility can revive foot traffic where traditional retail fades.
We also break down the housing data you can actually use. Median days on market nationally have normalized, while some local markets still move fast. Price trends split by region: steady gains across parts of the Northeast and Midwest, softer spots where inventory surged in recent boomtowns. Expect slow-and-steady equity growth—about three percent annually over five years—translating to roughly $61,000 in potential wealth on a $400,000 home. With mortgage rates hovering in the mid-6s, we talk refi math, locks, and how increased inventory and a 1.6-month absorption rate in steady counties can give buyers room to breathe without sinking sellers’ expectations.
If you want grounded strategy, not hype, this one’s for you: communicate early, price with the market, and let data guide while empathy closes. Subscribe, share with a friend who’s house hunting or listing soon, and leave a review with your biggest surprise from the trends we covered.

OUR AWESOME GUEST This WEEK: Paul Cuneo
Change doesn’t start with a neat plan. It starts with the knowing that your current path no longer fits, and the quiet nudge that something braver is calling. We sit down with Paul Cuneo, creator of the Hero’s Journey Odyssey Experience, to explore how ancient story patterns and Jungian psychology can turn that restlessness into a reliable map for reinvention. From the call to adventure to the ordeal and the return, Paul shows how each stage reflects an inner identity shift—and how recognizing where you are can reduce fear, clarify next steps, and restore momentum.
Paul’s unconventional path from music and movement to acting and identity work reveals a key insight: the world doesn’t need a perfect performance, it needs your singular presence. That principle anchors his client work. When the ego gets loud—demanding certainty and control—intuition speaks in whispers that are easy to miss. Paul offers practical ways to hear those signals, “follow the firefly,” and clear the hidden blockages (guilt, old stories, outdated defenses) that keep solutions out of reach. One powerful reframe: you don’t have to give up who you are; you only have to release the belief that you need certain traits to be safe. Set the sword down so both hands can be in the work, and pick it up again only when it’s truly needed.
We also unpack a liberating lens on agency: reality versus agreement. Buildings are real; businesses are agreements. Labels are agreements. When you see how much of your life you’ve consented to, renegotiating becomes possible. If you agreed, you can change the terms. By mapping your journey, honoring the old identity with gratitude, and stepping toward the new one without clinging, hard stops feeling like failure and starts feeling like progress. If you’re navigating a career pivot, a relationship shift, or a deep reinvention, this conversation offers structure, language, and tools to move forward with courage. If it resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—we’d love to hear which stage of the journey you’re in now.

Brad and Hugo really dig into Thanksgiving's meaning, family traditions, and how being thankful every day is something to consider.
Gratitude hits different when you slow down long enough to feel it. We set the gift lists aside and lean into the quiet joy of Thanksgiving: shared meals, running jokes about stretchy pants, and the small rituals that make a family feel like home. From potato filling and pumpkin pie to the annual watching of Christmas Vacation, we explore how traditions turn values into touchable moments and why this holiday—free from presents and pressure—often becomes people’s favorite.
The heart of the conversation moves beyond the table. We dig into a nightly gratitude practice that calms the mind, the difference between saying thanks and feeling appreciation, and how absence sharpens love—like noticing an empty side of the bed and realizing how full it feels when someone returns. We also tackle a big question with curious honesty: does real gratitude require a giver? Whether you find meaning in God, speak to the universe, or honor the chain of people behind every comfort, the act of thanking can push ego aside and open space for connection.
Finally, we turn warmth into action. If you scored a free turkey you won’t use, shelters will; a coat or blanket in the right hands can change a night. We’re thankful for the guests who have shared their stories with our community, and for you joining us at the table. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with someone you love, and leave a quick review—what’s one tradition you’ll keep forever?
"The Best Part about Giving Gratitude is that it takes the Attention Off of YOU and puts it on Someone Else, It gives YOUR Ego a Rest." - Brad Weisman

The Direct Message looked like spam. It turned out to be A&E offering Dedrick and Krystal Polite a shot at a home-renovation series that actually reflects real neighborhoods, real budgets, and real-life chaos. We sit down with the duo behind A&E's 50/50 Flip to unpack how they went from software sales and corporate headsets to rentals, rehabs, and a documentary-style TV show that doesn’t fake the mess—or the math.
We get into the origin story: starting with little capital, leveraging wholesaling to buy-and-hold, and documenting every step until the network came calling. Dedrick and Krystal explain why they skip the DIY fantasy, how they choose investor-friendly agents, and the simple system that keeps ARV realistic and finishes on-budget. Krystal breaks down her puzzle-first approach to layout and design, while Dedrick shares how they scaled from a three-person scramble in season one to a disciplined, leveraged team in season two. You’ll hear the roof leaks, scheduling shocks, and hard-won lessons that turn a flip into a business.
Beyond the flips, we dive into the “18 summers” philosophy—protecting family time by setting a hard 5 pm cutoff—and redefining generational wealth as kids choosing to come home when they don’t have to. The Polites also open up about what’s next: commercial conversions, a mobile home park, and stepping into franchising with Sky Zone. If you’ve been hunting for real estate advice grounded in attainable price points, practical systems, and clear values, this conversation delivers both the blueprint and the courage to follow it.

Pete Heim and I discuss the slow decline of enclosed malls against the rise of mixed-use districts, then dig into local housing data, the real impact of the Federal Government Shutdown on loans, and why mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury instead of the Fed. We end with the $350M Broadcasting District and what it means for housing, retail, and quality of life.
• Local/National Mall trends shift to open-air retail and pad sites
• Local listings up, sales slightly down, prices still higher
• Days on market nearly flat despite more inventory
• Shutdown delays for FHA, VA, USDA; flood insurance pause
• Historical rebound after shutdowns
• Fragmented markets across regions and school districts
• Mortgage rates tied to the 10-year Treasury
• Broadcasting District: 775 homes, Whole Foods, hotel, walkability
• Community trade-offs: growth, noise, taxes, amenities
How's your Mall doing? Is it gone? Tell us on our Socials, we'd love to know and talk about it on our next show!
Tune in every Thursday, 7 p.m.

The sound of community is getting louder again. We sit down with WEEU owner John Treese to unpack how a 1931 AM station found fresh purpose with modern tech, live local programming, and an unapologetic focus on Berks County and the surrounding 16 counties their signal reaches. From the decisive frequency move to 830 AM and a 20,000-watt daytime boost to the nuts and bolts of licenses, towers, and engineering, John explains how coverage becomes connection only when you pair it with relevance.
We walk through the overhaul that made the station feel alive: renovated studios that inspire confidence on camera, expanded streaming, and a new video-forward approach to high school football and basketball. Sports serve as a bridge across neighborhoods and generations, supported by a lively scoreboard show featuring coaches, reporters, and standout athletes. The commitment to free, no-paywall content keeps access open for families, fans, and advertisers who want reach without friction. Along the way, we touch on the hardest challenge—bringing back local radio news in a world with fewer radio journalists—and the practical steps WEEU is taking through call-in forums and clear pointers to trustworthy sources.
John’s path from college radio to station ownership adds heart to the strategy. He argues that radio lost ground when it stopped talking to people like they mattered; WEEU’s answer is to open the doors wide. That means internships, school partnerships, student performances in-studio, and series like Outstanding Student that put young voices on air. It also means inviting new hosts to pitch ideas, test their talent, and help build a daily lineup that’s live and local from early mornings into drive time. If you care about local media, community sports, and hearing your neighbors on the mic, this conversation will remind you why radio still matters.

What if you could change your results by changing your state first? That’s the premise Shauna VanBogart brings to the table, blending personal branding roots with a deeper craft: shaping presence so your inner world and outer impact finally match. We dive into Resonance House, her immersive platform that uses cinematic, hypnosis-informed audio journeys to help you step into qualities like calm confidence, creative flow, intuitive clarity, and real capacity to receive support and money without flinching.
Shauna walks us through the “room” metaphor that makes growth feel tangible. The Receiving Parlor addresses a common high-performer blind spot: accepting help and praise without deflecting. The Velvet Library trains intuition as a practical skill you can strengthen. The Treasury reframes money as neutral energy and invites abundance without shame. Instead of information overload, each room delivers a felt experience that your mind and body can recall when it counts—on stage, in a negotiation, or during tough conversations at home.
We also get tactical about styling energy for the different roles we play in a day. The boardroom self doesn’t belong in bedtime routines, and creativity suffers when you attack it with a manager’s mindset. Shauna’s approach turns transitions into moments of agency: "decide who you need to be, then step into that identity with intention." For highly sensitive people, she offers a reframe: sensitivity is a precision instrument when you set boundaries and build recovery. Her photo energy reads show how naming emotional undercurrents can unlock momentum fast.
If you’re tired of pushing and ready to resonate, this conversation offers a refreshing path: train your state, and watch your decisions, relationships, and outcomes fall into place. Listen now, then share the room you’d walk into first. If the show resonates, follow, rate, and send this to someone who needs a state reset today.

A brutal fight and a quiet moment at a funeral changed everything for our guest, Mitchell Osmond. From spiraling debt, weight gain, and a marriage on the brink to a rebuilt life and the launch of The Dad Nation Podcast, Mitchell shares the exact tools he used to turn things around—without sacrificing career ambition or family presence.
We dig into why so many high-performing men feel respected at work yet incompetent at home, and how masculine and feminine wiring can collide if we treat our partners like teammates and our kids like colleagues. Mitchell explains normative male alexithymia—the cultural gap that leaves many men with few words for feelings—and shows how that gap fuels shutdowns, blowups, and emotional distance. Then we get tactical: the RISE Conversation Ladder. You’ll learn how to move from routine logistics to essence-level questions that build intimacy fast, plus easy prompts you can use on your next date so it doesn’t turn into a board meeting with wine.
We also talk about marriage after kids, why your spouse still needs to feel like a bride, and how modeling a strong partnership teaches your children what love looks like. Mitchell brings data, empathy, and a blueprint: simple weekly practices, better questions, and a clearer vision of success at home and at work. If you’ve ever thought, I can fix a business but not a feeling, this conversation gives you language, structure, and hope.
Grab Mitchell’s free Connection Code (50 conversation starters) at dadnationco.com/code, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to tell us the one question you’re going to try tonight.

Guest Pete Heim is back to chat with Brad Weisman about Real Estate!! A fast, candid market check that connects inventory, rates, and jobs to what buyers and sellers feel on the ground. We share state-by-state contrasts, a reality check on pricing, and why the Fed doesn’t move mortgages the way most people think.
• Housing’s huge role in the wider economy
• Home inventory as the primary driver of sales and price behavior
• State-by-state inventory and time-on-market contrasts will surprise you
• Mortgage rates vs Fed moves and bond market expectations
• Labor market vs Inflation as Fed Rate triggers
• U.S. housing value reaching $55.1 trillion
• Why overpricing backfires and how to adjust fast
• guidance on family and client loyalty with grace
Sellers in this market need to really lean into their Realtors for advice on pricing. The market is balancing and the Super Sellers market is behind us. Buyers are gaining advantages in certain situations... so sidelined Buyers should look at coming back into the market!

From HGTV star to Hollywood actress to theater producer, Wanda Colon's creative journey has come full circle as she returns to her Reading roots with an exciting new project. After conquering television as a design expert and even sharing an on-screen kiss with Jean-Claude Van Damme (which she hilariously describes as "the worst kiss of my life"), Wanda is now channeling her passion into "LoveNotes Berks," a powerful storytelling experience premiering October 11th at the Miller Center.
The show features twelve brave performers sharing deeply personal stories about love in all its forms—the heartwarming, the heartbreaking, and everything in between. During her conversation with Brad Weisman, Wanda reveals how the project came together through her connection with Heather Christie, who originated the LoveNotes concept with successful performances in New York. What makes this production unique is that each storyteller not only performs but has written their own authentic narrative, creating an intimate evening that moved even Wanda's husband to tears during rehearsals.
Having spent nearly two decades away from Reading pursuing her entertainment career and co-founding the Academy of Home Staging and Design, Wanda speaks candidly about the unexpected joy of returning home. "I have such an appreciation for home," she reflects, touched by how warmly the community has embraced her vision. The production represents more than entertainment—it's a celebration of vulnerability, connection, and the universal experiences that bind us together.
Whether you're a theater enthusiast or simply looking for a meaningful date night, "LoveNotes Berks" promises an evening of emotional storytelling complemented by musical performances from talented vocalists. The night continues with a special afterparty at the Peanut Bar featuring dinner specials created for the occasion. Secure your tickets at lovenotesberks.com and be part of this extraordinary homecoming celebration that might just inspire you to share your own story.

Celebrating 250 episodes calls for reflection, and in this milestone conversation, Brad and Hugo take us on a journey through the evolution of The Brad Weisman Show podcast. What started as a solo venture in Brad's bedroom during the pandemic—armed with just a microphone, mixer, and a laptop—has blossomed into a dynamic show with a fully equipped studio and walls adorned with meaningful mementos from past episodes.
They share candid insights about their growth, from the strategic name change (formerly "Real Estate and You") that freed them from topical constraints, to Hugo's gradual integration from behind-the-scenes voice to essential co-host. Their chemistry shines through as they reminisce about standout moments with guests ranging from centenarian World War II veterans to Super Bowl champions, Hollywood actors, and thought leaders who've graced their studio.
Beyond the entertaining stories lies a profound purpose that drives the podcast forward: the potential to positively impact even one listener's life. Brad shares a powerful anecdote about how a single person who helped Ed Mylett's father overcome alcoholism unknowingly created a ripple effect that has since touched millions through Ed's work. This philosophy—that you never know when your words might make all the difference—fuels their commitment to meaningful conversations.
Looking ahead to their next milestone (300 episodes approaching in less than a year), Brad and Hugo share their wishlist for future guests including Steve Harvey, Damon West, Ed Mylett and many others, while expressing their desire to feature more musical performances and self-development topics. Most importantly, they extend heartfelt gratitude to their audience, inviting more engagement through comments and guest suggestions. Join us every Thursday at 7pm as we continue building this community one conversation at a time.
"I'm so blessed to have a vessel to share my curiosity of people and their stories. I hope you all have enjoyed many of the 250 episodes and I look forward to upping my game with each and every future guest! Thank YOU!!" - Brad Weisman

Brad and Pete Heim are back with all the NEW Stats for the Local, State and National home market. The real estate market shows clear signs of change with inventory increasing locally and even more so nationally, though still far below the amount of homes available during the 2008 crash. Regional differences across the US housing market reveal the Northeast maintaining a seller's market while the South experiences excess inventory and falling prices.
• Current housing inventory in Berks County at 524 listings compared to 4,400 in 2008
• Average days on market down to 16 in July from 33 in March
• Regional differences show Northeast at 44% below pre-pandemic inventory while Florida is 30% above
• Interest rate differences have minimal impact on monthly payments - only $132 difference between 7% and 6.5% on a $400k loan
• One in three Northeast properties still receiving multiple offers
• New construction remains limited in Berks County compared to surrounding areas in Pennsylvania
• Home sales projected to increase from 4 million in 2024 to 4.5 million by 2026
Join us for our special 250th episode on September 18th at 7pm!

David Ferrugio, host of Dead Talkspodcast, shares his journey through grief after losing his father in the World Trade Center on 9/11 and how it inspired him to create a show exploring mortality through meaningful conversations.
• Personal experience losing his father at age 12 during the 9/11 attacks
• How processing grief through "exposure therapy" helped him cope with trauma
• Fascinating patterns in near-death experiences and what they might tell us about the afterlife
• Why differences in NDEs might be personalized transitions to make the experience less jarring

What happens when spirituality meets ultra-luxury real estate? Adam Brawer, dubbed "The Spiritual Realtor," has created a niche by bringing energy work to high-end property sales in Los Angeles. With a morning practice that includes sage burning and meditation, Adam doesn't just sell homes—he transforms their energy.
When listing properties with challenging histories—divorce, death, or domestic violence—Adam brings in "home healers" who use sage, drums, and intuitive practices to clear negative energy. The results speak for themselves. After cleansing one home with a particularly violent history, potential buyers immediately commented on the property's positive feel. This spiritual approach addresses what many buyers unconsciously sense when touring homes. As Brad notes, "Everyone asks if someone died in the house, which shows we all care about energy."
Beyond energy work, Adam's business spans from $1 million "starter homes" to a $50 million Andalusian palace featuring what Mansion Global calls "America's best pool"—a water feature with multiple waterfalls, a grotto, lazy river, and infinity edge. He's even currently marketing a private island in French Polynesia for €15 million, complete with two homes, staff quarters, and a chef from a Michelin-starred restaurant. Marketing such properties requires sophisticated targeting, including geo-fencing around the world's top private airports to reach potential ultra-wealthy buyers.
Adam's philosophy is simple yet profound: "The buyer is not buying your house; they're buying their house." By creating neutral environments and positive energy, he allows buyers to project their own lifestyles onto properties. Whether you're spiritual or skeptical, his approach offers a fascinating glimpse into how energy and intention shape our most important purchasing decisions.
Curious about energy cleansing or just want to daydream about ultra-luxury properties? Follow Adam on Instagram @adambrower or reach out directly to learn more about his unique approach to real estate.

What if the key to unlocking your potential isn't learning new skills, but upgrading your internal operating system? In this profound conversation with Dr. Ryan Gottfredson, we explore the revolutionary concept that transformed his life and could change yours: the distinction between your "doing side" and your "being side."
While most personal and professional development focuses on acquiring knowledge and skills, Dr. Gottfredson, author of Becoming Better, reveals that true transformation happens when we elevate our "being side"—the quality of our internal operating system, including our mindsets, emotional regulation, and character. This isn't just abstract theory; it's supported by decades of research across four fundamental mindset pairs that determine whether we operate from self-protection or value creation.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Gottfredson shares how his own childhood wiring created an avoidant attachment style that kept his wife at arm's length for 12 years of their marriage. His personal journey of awareness and transformation illustrates how our survival mechanisms from childhood often become obstacles to our success as adults, parents, and leaders.
Perhaps most eye-opening is the revelation that 60% of leaders struggle with a fixed mindset—they're more focused on avoiding looking bad than on growth and learning. This ego-driven self-protection prevents them from adapting to increasing complexity, causing both personal and organizational stagnation.
Whether you're leading a team, building relationships, or simply trying to reach your potential, this episode offers practical insights into how healing your mind, body, and heart can elevate your "being side" and transform every aspect of your life. As Dr. Gottfredson puts it: "The wiring that we develop to survive our childhood is not the same wiring that we need to succeed as an adult."
Take the first step toward upgrading your internal operating system by visiting RyanGottfredson.com for free mindset assessments, and discover how becoming better at "being" might be the most important work you'll ever do.

We analyze the current real estate market conditions in locally and nationally, separating media hype from reality while examining foreclosure rates, price appreciation, and interest rate predictions.
• Berks County currently has 446 homes on the market, showing stability in the mid-four hundreds
• Foreclosure rates are up 7% nationally but represent only 1 in 758 homes compared to 1 in 45 during the 2008 crash
• National housing appreciation predictions average 1.6% for remainder of 2025, while Berks County is experiencing 5.4% appreciation
• Interest rates are stabilizing in the 6.4-6.6% range with little expectation of significant decreases
• Home prices are up 55% nationally compared to five years ago, with current market adjustments averaging only 3.5% downward in some regions
• The "five-year rule" suggests homebuyers will typically come out ahead if they hold property for five years regardless of market timing
• Tax exemptions on primary residence sales ($250,000 for singles, $500,000 for married couples) may be increased to reflect significant home appreciation
• Experts recommend focusing on personal housing needs rather than attempting to time the market
If you're thinking about buying or selling, don't make decisions based on headlines. Work with a real estate professional who understands the local market conditions and can help you navigate the current environment based on your personal situation.

From hiding beneath blankets to singing on stage, Maggie Marre's transformation from a terrified vocalist to a confident performer reveals the power of confronting your deepest fears. Her story begins with a paradox many creative people understand – loving something so much that sharing it becomes terrifying.
"I had the worst stage fright," Maggie confesses, describing years of vocal lessons where she could barely open her mouth to sing. This wasn't just ordinary nervousness – it was a profound barrier between her passion and its expression. The breakthrough came while watching Taylor Swift's documentary during the pandemic, sparking an emotional epiphany that changed everything. "I was crying... this is what I want to do," she recalls, marking the moment she decided to stop hiding her talent.
What follows is a fascinating glimpse into a young artist's development – from her first nerve-wracking open mic performance to recording her EP "Miss Paranoia" during a whirlwind five-day session in Los Angeles. Serendipity plays its part when her father's random conversation with a stranger on a plane connects her to an A&R representative, creating unexpected professional opportunities. Meanwhile, her experience at Berkeley College of Music reveals a healthy approach to being surrounded by exceptional talent: "There is room for everyone," she emphasizes, finding inspiration rather than intimidation among her peers.
The episode culminates with a moving live performance of "Lifeline," a song exploring the uncertainties of pursuing musical dreams while facing others' expectations. Her voice, with its distinctive emotional qualities and subtle inflections, demonstrates why perseverance through fear was so worthwhile. Listen in for a powerful reminder that sometimes our greatest gifts lie just beyond our comfort zones, waiting to be shared with those who need to hear them.

Stephen Scoggins shares his journey from homelessness to multimillion-dollar business success, revealing how personal alignment is the foundation for sustainable entrepreneurial growth. His concept of the "integrated entrepreneur mindset" challenges conventional wisdom about what makes businesses succeed or fail.
• Integration means becoming aligned with your authentic self and authentic purpose
• The five true reasons entrepreneurs fail: arrogance, ignorance, impatience, fear, and insecurity
• Entrepreneurs at all levels share the same restless ambition to reach the next financial milestone
• As businesses scale, they inevitably change team composition, keeping only about 2% of original staff by $100M
• True leadership requires being "one part lion, one part lamb" - both bold and compassionate
• Periodic disconnection from technology and distractions is essential for achieving clarity and alignment
• Personal presence is more valuable to family than financial provision
• You can't scale dysfunction - in yourself, your team, or your client base
• Alignment leads to better income, relationships, and health
• Human energy operates at different frequencies, with alignment creating a powerful presence

When Brad Weisman started seeing flashes of light in his peripheral vision followed by spider-like shadows crawling across his sight, he knew something was seriously wrong. This frightening experience leads to an enlightening conversation with optometrist Dr. Mervet Hachem about the critical eye emergencies we should never ignore.
Dr. Hachem explains that Brad experienced a posterior vitreous detachment—a specific type of floater that occurs as the gel in our eyes liquefies with age. While uncomfortable and visually disruptive, these floaters themselves aren't necessarily dangerous. However, for people with high myopia (severe nearsightedness) like Brad, they can signal an increased risk for retinal detachment—a true emergency that can lead to permanent blindness if not treated within hours.
Through fascinating explanations of eye anatomy using visual models, Dr. Hachem demystifies common conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, and dry eye syndrome. She reveals surprising facts about vision health: the three-layer composition of tears (oil, water, and mucus), how UV exposure accelerates cataract formation, why polarized sunglasses offer superior protection, and how modern cataract surgery can simultaneously eliminate the need for distance glasses by implanting customized prescription lenses.
The conversation takes unexpected turns into seasonal challenges like allergies and environmental irritants, innovative treatments like punctal plugs that block tear drainage to combat dry eye, and the potential permanent damage caused by viewing solar eclipses without proper protection. Throughout, Dr. Hachem emphasizes that many serious eye conditions develop silently without symptoms until significant damage has occurred, making annual comprehensive eye exams essential for everyone—even those with perfect vision.
Whether you've experienced concerning eye symptoms yourself or simply want to protect your precious vision for decades to come, this episode provides crucial information about when to seek help and how to preserve your sight through proper protection and regular professional care. Your eyes are irreplaceable—give them the attention they deserve.

What happens when the real estate market starts shifting right before your eyes? That's exactly what we're exploring in this eye-opening conversation with returning guest Pete Heim as we dive into the latest trends and surprising statistics from the housing market.
We share crucial advice for today's sellers: gone are the days when you could list a property with obvious flaws and still command multiple offers above asking price. Unless your home is in perfect condition and a premium location, realistic pricing is essential. For buyers, we reveal a game-changing approach - stop limiting your search with rigid parameters. That three-bedroom with a convertible loft might be your perfect four-bedroom with just $2,000 in modifications, but your search filters could be hiding it from view.
Perhaps most importantly, we debunk the persistent myth about 3% interest rates returning. These rates were emergency economic measures that were never intended to be permanent. Waiting for rates to drop could be a costly mistake, especially since lower rates inevitably trigger increased competition and higher prices. Instead, we suggest focusing on the substantial equity growth potential - with a $400,000 home purchase potentially generating over $80,000 in equity over five years.

From high school art class to the White House and beyond, Master Potter Wes Muckey's 40-year journey crafting exceptional ceramic art has made him one of America's premier traditional craftsmen. As founder of Nolde Forest Pottery, Wes creates distinctive pieces that have found homes in presidential libraries, museums, and celebrity collections worldwide.
The spark that ignited Wes's passion came in 1985 when his high school art teacher introduced him to clay. Unlike other art forms, pottery's practicality captivated him - "You can eat off it," he explains, highlighting the unique intersection of function and artistry that defines his work. After apprenticing at Breininger Pottery, where he developed his decorative techniques, Wes eventually established his own studio to pursue his distinctive vision.
Working primarily with specialized red earthenware clay - a carefully formulated mixture of six components delivered in hundred-pound boxes - Wes creates traditional pieces using techniques like scraffito and slip trailing. Among his most compelling creations are face jugs, sculptural vessels with exaggerated human features that trace their lineage to Southern slave potters from the 1800s who made them for ritualistic purposes. These distinctive pieces have become collector's items, with some enthusiasts amassing hundreds of his creations.
The prestigious reach of Nolde Forest Pottery extends from the White House Foundation, which has commissioned work for six presidential administrations, to museums like the Zurich Museum in Switzerland and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Perhaps most surprising is his roster of celebrity clients - Wes has created custom pieces for rock legends like Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses, and Rob Zombie, as well as actor William H. Macy, who personally visited his studio.
Whether crafting commemorative plates for presidential libraries or teaching pottery classes in his studio where visitors can decorate their own pieces, Wes remains driven by an unwavering artistic passion. "You don't retire from being an artist," he insists, embodying the timeless connection between craftsman and clay. Explore Wes's remarkable work at NoldeForestPottery.com or schedule a studio visit to witness firsthand how this master potter transforms earth into enduring legacy.

What happens when you reach the pinnacle of your career only to discover you've left behind everything that matters? In this raw and transformative conversation, Mat Lewczenko—Author of The Entrepreneur's Regret, performance coach, and regional growth director at EXP—reveals the dark side of entrepreneurial success that few talk about.
Matt shares his journey of climbing to what he calls "rock top"—when you've broken through the clouds of success only to find yourself alone, with thinner air and the sobering realization that everyone else seems happier than you. Despite recruiting 176 agents in a single year and earning national recognition within his company, Mat found himself unable to look in the mirror, disconnected from his family, and numbing himself just to reach emotional neutral.
The turning point came when his wife delivered five powerful words: "You don't get to do this." This confrontation launched Matt's development of the "Three L's Framework"—leadership, love, and life—that forms the backbone of his book "The Entrepreneur's Regret." Through practical insights like the T.I.M.E approach and brutally honest anecdotes, Mat demonstrates how entrepreneurs can be fully present in both business and family life without sacrificing either.
What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Mat's challenge to the dominant hustle culture narrative. "You can absolutely fund the life of your dreams and still have the people in it that you care the most about," he asserts, debunking the myth that success requires sacrificing your relationships, health, or emotional well-being.
For anyone who's ever felt torn between business growth and personal fulfillment, this episode offers both validation and a roadmap. As Mat points out, with entrepreneurs 46% more likely to divorce than other professions, the cost of imbalance is too high to ignore. Discover how to be "all in" where it matters, set boundaries that protect what's precious, and achieve success that feels meaningful when you're alone with your thoughts at night.
Ready to build success without regret? Grab Matt's book on Amazon and join his masterclass at noregretslive.com to transform your approach to business and life.

Ever wondered why vacation rentals can feel like a gamble? The photos look amazing, but will there be decent kitchen knives? Enough toilet paper? Clean linens? Steve Petasky of Luxus Vacation Properties is transforming this unpredictable experience into one of absolute certainty.
Picture a world where vacation rentals deliver the consistency of a luxury hotel with the space and privacy of a private home. That's the vision behind Luxus Vacation Properties, which Petasky describes as "JW Marriott meets Airbnb." What began as a personal solution for his growing family in 2006 has evolved into a company that's serviced over 20,000 vacations and is partnering with iconic brands like Four Seasons.
The magic of Luxus isn't just in selecting beautiful properties—though they certainly do that—but in standardizing the experience across every location. Whether you're staying in their Costa Rica villa or California condo, you'll find the same premium mattress, high-quality linens, fully-stocked kitchen, and reliable amenities. This consistency creates what Petasky calls the most valuable luxury of all: certainty.
Behind this seemingly simple concept lies complex execution challenges, from convincing homeowners to upgrade their properties to navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape of short-term rentals worldwide. Yet properties that meet the Luxus standard consistently outperform the market, often generating an additional $50,000-100,000 in annual revenue.
Perhaps most fascinating is how Petasky's business philosophy was shaped by his childhood experience of being robbed during a family Disney vacation, when another family's unexpected generosity showed him the transformative power of hospitality.

What if everything you've been taught about positive thinking is only half right?Dr. Noah St. John, known worldwide as "the father of afformations," is revolutionizing the way we approach mindset transformation with a simple yet profound discovery: the power of asking empowering questions.
During this insightful conversation, Dr. St. John reveals why traditional affirmations leave 75% of users more frustrated than before—and introduces his groundbreaking alternative that works with your brain's natural functioning rather than against it. Rather than repeating statements you don't believe, "affOrmations" harness the brain's automatic response to questions, creating powerful shifts in your subconscious programming without resistance.
Drawing from his personal journey from poverty to becoming a highly sought-after coach, Dr. St. John shares how this technique forms the foundation of his wider "Power Habit System"—a comprehensive approach used by his clients to achieve remarkable breakthroughs. Through compelling case studies, he demonstrates how addressing the hidden "head trash" and "success anorexia" that lurk in our subconscious can lead to extraordinary results, including one client who grew their business from 7 figures to $20 million in just 18 months.
Beyond theory, Dr. St. John provides actionable insights into recognizing and overcoming the invisible barriers that keep us stuck at the same level year after year. His approach isn't about working harder—it's about removing the internal obstacles that prevent you from achieving what you're truly capable of. Whether you're a business owner hitting an income ceiling, a real estate professional seeking breakthrough results, or simply someone looking to reach your full potential, these powerful yet simple techniques offer a path to the success you've been searching for.

Our monthly Real Estate Guest, Pete Heim, joins Brad Weiman to chat about all things Real Estate!!
The gap between local and national real estate trends is widening dramatically, creating confusion for homebuyers and sellers trying to navigate today's market. We cut through the noise to reveal what's really happening versus the headlines you're seeing in national media.
What's creating these regional disparities? We explore how states like Florida, Texas, and Louisiana face unique challenges with insurance costs and changing migration patterns that skew national averages. Meanwhile, the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions continue to thrive, with areas like Alexandria absorbing a staggering 4,500 new listings due to pent-up demand.
Perhaps most illuminating is our deep dive into recessions and real estate. Contrary to popular belief, recessions historically don't mean falling home prices. Looking at data since 1980, only the 2008 financial crisis saw significant housing value declines—a unique situation caused by a lending crisis and over-inventory that doesn't exist today. Even better news? Every recession since 1980 has triggered lower mortgage rates, which could bring relief to today's buyers facing rates in the mid-6% range.
We also tackle local challenges around housing affordability and workforce availability, strategic pricing considerations for sellers in today's market, and predictions about interest rate fluctuations throughout 2025. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or simply understand the real estate dynamics shaping our community, this episode offers the local perspective you won't find in national headlines.

Trust is the invisible foundation upon which all meaningful relationships are built. But how do you establish it quickly, especially in professional settings where time is limited? This deeply personal exploration reveals why your knowledge and experience matter far less than your ability to connect authentically with others.
Drawing from 33 years in real estate and a childhood spent constantly relocating, I share the profound realization that changed my approach to business relationships: "My experience and knowledge is only as good as your trust in it." This simple truth explains why newer professionals sometimes win business over seasoned veterans—they may know less, but they've mastered the art of building trust.
The distinction between merely meeting someone and truly discovering them lies at the heart of meaningful connection. While we meet dozens of people daily—in elevators, at networking events, in grocery store aisles—discovery happens only when we approach others with spontaneous, authentic curiosity. It's not about running through a mental checklist of questions; it's about genuinely caring about the answers.
Different personality types require different trust-building approaches. An engineer might need precise data points before trusting your expertise, while an artist might connect through shared values and emotional resonance. Understanding these nuances allows you to customize your approach while remaining authentic.
The path to trust begins with consistent follow-through. Each time you deliver on a promise—whether arriving on time or completing a task by the deadline you set—you earn a "trust point." These accumulate over time, creating a foundation of reliability that's essential for deeper connection.
Have you been focusing too much on showcasing your knowledge rather than building genuine connections? Are you meeting people or truly discovering them? Let's explore how shifting your focus from experience to relationship-building might transform your personal and professional interactions.

What if looking good and feeling good were two sides of the same coin? In this eye-opening conversation with Mary Kelly and Jemika Sivak
from Skin Sanctuary Med Spa and Integrative Health, we dive deep into the fascinating world where beauty treatments meet functional medicine.
The duo shatters common misconceptions about aesthetic procedures like Botox, explaining how these treatments have evolved far beyond Hollywood celebrities to become accessible options for everyday wellness. You'll discover the science behind collagen stimulation, learning how innovative techniques like PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) use your body's own healing mechanisms to rejuvenate skin and even restore hair. Their strategic approach focuses not on freezing expressions but on enhancing natural features while preventing signs of aging.
But this conversation goes much deeper than skin deep. We explore the revolutionary concept of "health span" versus "lifespan," addressing why so many people spend their retirement years managing preventable chronic conditions instead of thriving. Jemika breaks down the functional medicine approach that looks at root causes rather than symptoms, explaining the crucial connection between gut health and everything from mental clarity to immune function. Most shocking is their revelation that the "Four Horsemen" of modern health—heart disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and type 2 diabetes—are up to 80% preventable through lifestyle choices.
Whether you're curious about red light therapy's ability to recharge your cellular batteries or wondering about the real story behind weight loss medications like GLP-1 agonists, this episode delivers practical wisdom without judgment. The experts emphasize that perfection isn't necessary—making healthy choices just 80% of the time can dramatically improve your quality of life. Ready to reimagine your approach to aging and wellness? This conversation might just change how you think about the connection between looking good, feeling good, and living well. #botox #glp-1 #guthealth #bradweisman #skinsantuarymedspa

Kathryn Lehman'spath from social worker to judicial candidate reveals a professional journey shaped by genuine concern for community welfare and justice. After witnessing courtroom proceedings while advocating for troubled teens, Lehman realized her calling extended beyond social work into the legal realm—prompting her to attend law school at night while maintaining her full-time position.
This unique foundation gives Lehman something increasingly rare in our judicial system: perspective from both sides of the courtroom. Having spent five years as a public defender before transitioning to nearly nine years in the district attorney's office, she brings balanced insight to her candidacy for Berks County Common Pleas Judge. As supervisor of the drug task force, she has prosecuted some of the county's most dangerous offenders, including securing convictions in the largest fentanyl seizure in county history.
What distinguishes Lehman's candidacy is her unwavering commitment to applying the law fairly while understanding the human elements behind each case. "When you are doing the right thing, you can't worry about those things," she notes when discussing difficult decisions, emphasizing that integrity must guide judicial action even when decisions might be unpopular. This philosophy has earned her bipartisan endorsements from prominent figures across the political spectrum, including District Attorney John Adams and State Representative Eric Weaknecht.
The primary election on May 20th presents Berks County voters with an opportunity to elect someone uniquely qualified for the bench—the only candidate with extensive trial experience for what is fundamentally a trial judge position. Consider supporting Kathryn Lehman, whose blend of legal expertise, practical courtroom experience, and compassionate understanding offers the balanced approach our judicial system needs.

Diving deep into the often misunderstood real estate landscape, Pete Heim and Brad Weisman separate fact from fiction about our current housing market. This eye-opening conversation tackles the persistent confusion between today's inventory crisis and the 2008 financial meltdown, providing clarity with hard data rather than social media panic.
Discover why the mid-Atlantic region continues to outperform the rest of the country with a 0.8% value increase while western markets decline. The hosts unpack fascinating statistics about pricing strategy, revealing that homes sell for 100% of asking price in the first four weeks, but only 94% after 17+ weeks on market – making a compelling case for accurate pricing from day one.
Perhaps most compelling is their breakdown of how housing has performed through six past recessions, with values increasing in four of them, decisively debunking the myth that economic downturns automatically mean falling home prices. The episode also explores encouraging trends in the Home Demand Index (rising from 65 to 71) and interest rates declining faster than forecasted.
For baby boomers sitting on substantial equity and millennials eager to enter the market, this episode provides practical insights on timing and strategy. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply trying to understand market dynamics, this data-driven conversation cuts through the noise with expert analysis and actionable information.

What happens when a finance guy, a violin maker, and an attorney join forces to solve a simple but universal problem? The answer is Bro Glo – a revolutionary men's self-tanner that's challenging stereotypes and changing how men approach personal care.
When Jaron found himself being nicknamed "mayonnaise" during his honeymoon because of his pale complexion, he discovered that existing self-tanners were designed for women – complete with feminine scents, unnecessary dyes, and the dreaded orange tint. Together with his friends Joe and Tommy, they set out to create something better: a self-tanner specifically formulated for men that delivers natural results without the stigma.
Starting with just $937 and 200 units of face tanner, Bro Glow has grown exponentially through authentic marketing and a product that actually works. Their refreshingly honest approach on TikTok resonated with men who previously felt uncomfortable about using self-tanner. From hand-labeling bottles in a garage to appearing on Shark Tank (where they received offers from all five Sharks), their journey exemplifies entrepreneurial spirit at its finest.
What makes Bro Glow unique is their commitment to authenticity. Their water-based formula avoids the oily feel men typically dislike, while delivering subtle results that prompt comments like "Did you go somewhere this weekend?" rather than "Why are you orange?" The trio balances running Bro Glow with their day jobs – one in investments, one running a violin shop, and one working as an attorney – creating a perfect mix of skills that complements their business.
Mark Cuban recognized Bro Glo's potential immediately, securing a strategic partnership that promises to take the brand to new heights. With plans to expand their product line and reach more customers, Bro Glo isn't just selling self-tanner – they're breaking down barriers in men's personal care and proving that sometimes the simplest ideas make the biggest impact.
Try Bro Glo for yourself and join the revolution that's helping men everywhere say goodbye to being "mayonnaise" and hello to a natural, confidence-boosting glow. Our Listeners get a Special Discount... www.thebroglo.com Use coupon code: BradW

The wealth-building power of real estate compared to stock market investments takes center spotlight in this data-rich episode. Brad Weisman, and our Monthly Guest, Pete Heim unpack some truly jaw-dropping statistics: while real estate and stocks showed comparable 5-year returns (57% vs 58%), the 25-year comparison reveals a staggering difference—real estate appreciation soared to 321% while stocks limped along at just 42%.
Current market indicators paint an intriguing picture. Despite higher-than-historical interest rates hovering around 6.7%, buyer activity is surging, with mortgage applications up 37% since January and showing activity increased by 13%. Yet inventory remains stubbornly low, creating fierce competition for available properties.
Perhaps most concerning is the revelation that only 24% of current buyers are first-time homebuyers—the lowest percentage since 2000—with the average first-time buyer now 38 years old. These buyers are missing crucial years of equity building during what's proven to be an extraordinary wealth-creation vehicle over time.
The hosts dispel common misconceptions about institutional investors, who represent just 0.3% of purchases, far overshadowed by traditional "mom and pop" investors at 18%. They also discuss how return-to-office mandates may force approximately 26% of remote workers to relocate, potentially shifting inventory dynamics in certain markets.
For Pennsylvanians, there's an unexpected silver lining: the state enjoys the lowest homeowners insurance rate increases nationwide, unlike disaster-prone regions experiencing premium spikes. Combined with the fact Americans now stay in their homes an average of 9.3 years (up from the traditional 5-7), this episode provides essential context for understanding today's complex housing landscape and making informed real estate decisions.

Imagine a world where the seeds of growth are planted with love and nurtured by a mother-daughter bond. That's exactly what Brandy and Brooke Bocolo have done with their inspiring book, "Planting Sunshine Seeds: A Mother Daughter Journey of Growth." This episode captures their journey of creating a heartfelt narrative inspired by Brandy's experiences as a sixth-grade teacher. Together, they weave a story rooted in personal relationships and the beauty of growth, all while using flower names to bring their characters to life. At just 13, Brooke joined her mother on this creative quest, showcasing a powerful collaboration filled with passion and imagination.

Finally, we reflect on themes of gratitude and kindness, highlighting their ability to enrich our lives and the lives of others. Through everyday practices and family anecdotes, we see how small acts of kindness can have a lasting, positive impact. Whether it's encouraging children to share joy through simple gestures or appreciating the small wonders of life, these practices create a ripple effect of positivity. Our conversation underscores the significance of readiness, illustrating that even when seeds of growth are planted, they eventually flourish at the right time. Join us on this journey and learn how Brandy and Brooke's story can inspire your path towards a more positive and grateful mindset.

Unlock the secrets to enhancing your leadership image with Sylvie Di Giusto, a leading expert in leadership and image. Imagine being recognized as a leader, not because of your job title, but through the power of perception, behavior, and appearance. Sylvie challenges conventional leadership ideas, showing how first impressions and personal branding can be pivotal, especially in people-centric fields like real estate. As technology transforms human interaction, discover how it impacts trust and communication, and learn how a strong personal brand can help you stand out in our competitive world.
Unconscious biases shape more of our decisions than we might think, and Sylvie reveals how to harness them for success. With just 5% of our brain processing factual information, emotional biases often hold sway. From leveraging the bandwagon effect to understanding the nuances of executive and leadership presence, Sylvie provides practical insights on how recognizing and utilizing these biases can boost your influence in business settings. The discussion sheds light on how these elements play into the broader dynamics of effective leadership.
In an industry where trust is paramount, particularly real estate, learn how to craft a credible professional identity that speaks volumes.

Sylvie walks us through aligning appearance, behavior, and digital presence with a unique brand identity, emphasizing the role of digital platforms like LinkedIn in building client trust. Join us as we reflect on the challenges and rewards of maintaining a consistent narrative across different environments and climates, figuratively and literally.

PETE is the BACK after surviving The Brad Weisman Show's 200th Episode!! Together, we reminisce about such a memorable night, complete with a delightful cameo from Pete's wife (she's so much better looking). Our conversation is rich with insights, as we ponder the reassuring stability in the real estate market, observing the current inventory of homes and how mortgage rates remain below the long-term (50 year) average.
Curious about how fluctuating interest rates affect housing affordability and inventory? We unpack the complexities of these dynamics, particularly how millennials face a new landscape of interest rates. Politicians often miss the mark, thinking lower housing costs are the ultimate solution, but the real challenge is Inventory Shortages. By examining proactive measures in cities like Spokane, Washington, we highlight innovative approaches such as adjusting permit fees and zoning regulations, which could be the key to addressing the housing crisis effectively.
Navigating the intricacies of real estate pricing can be daunting, especially in a stabilizing market. We explore the critical need for accurate pricing, as the trend shows a decline in sales over asking prices. Sellers take note—overpricing may no longer yield the quick sales it once did. With humor and a touch of wit, we also venture into the realm of natural supplements, sharing personal anecdotes about maintaining mental clarity (Magic Mind). Pete's energetic presence ties it all together, making this episode both informative and entertaining for anyone intrigued by real estate trends and the stories that bring them to life. #peteheim #bradweisman #realestatechallenges #realestatemarket #tbws2024
"OMG Pete is back already for a funny, crazy, YET informative episode of TBWS! We touched on many things but the main message is Sellers beware of overpricing your home while the market adjusts to a more moderate Seller's Market. This is NOT last years market. Some balancing going on... listen to this show so you are informed and ahead of the market" - Brad Weisman

Why do so many people feel alone in their mental health struggles? Join us for a profound conversation with Wendy Seidel, Executive Director of the Greater Reading Mental Health Alliance, as we unravel the complex stigma surrounding mental health and discuss alarming suicide statistics, especially among the youth. Wendy and I open up about our personal battles with anxiety and how therapy and medication have been game-changers. We also call out the urgent need for more public figures to normalize these conversations and tackle the gender disparities that stop men from seeking help.
In our discussion, we shine a spotlight on the barriers to accessing mental health services, from long wait times for diagnoses to the scarcity of mental health professionals. Wendy explains the critical advocacy work of the Greater Reading Mental Health Alliance and the pivotal role of support groups and personal mentorship. Learn how community efforts, like the Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors (LOSS) team, offer vital support to those impacted by suicide. By breaking these stigmas together, we can create a more understanding and supportive community.
"Having dealt with mental health challenges in my early 30's, I'm very familiar with this topic and the stigma that goes along with it. At 53 years old, I'm still medicated for general anxiety and panic attacks. The good news is with medication, it no longer has an impact on my life and my future! Wendy does an amazing job of walking us through all that is available for those suffering from any form of Mental Illness." - Brad Weisman

It's all about nurturing a positive mental landscape, where gratitude transforms our daily experiences. We share nuggets of wisdom like nightly gratitude practices for restful sleep and starting the day on a brighter note. Recognizing when to seek professional help is also key, as we discuss the changing perceptions and diminishing stigma surrounding therapy. Listen in as we uncover the value in focusing on the positives, seeking support when necessary, and remembering that you're never alone on your path to wellness. "A must listen for parents." - Brad W.

When you first hear the question, "What the hell is a podcast?" you might chuckle, but for me, Brad Weisman, it marked the start of something incredible. My good friend, Toni Reese, is the absolute reason that I do this podcast. Toni tells HER STORY about the early days of Storytelling through Podcasts and the brave souls who bare their lives on the airwaves.
Toni says producing "The People Chronicles", at 80 shows a week, was about championing the voices of our community, from the influential CEOs to the resilient cancer survivors. This episode dives into the landscape of human experience, sharing the profound metamorphosis of guests who found the worth in their own stories through Toni's encouragement.
No story is quite as poignant as the one closest to home. Toni peels back the curtain on her personal battle with Lipid Storage Disease, revealing the tenacity required for self-advocacy, when dealing with the medical field.
Laughter intermingles with the serious as Tony and I swap stories of hidden talents and past performances before closing with a note of gratitude for the profound impact podcasting, and Tony, have had on my life.

Have you ever considered widening your search radius to find the perfect home? Join me with guest Pete Heim, in a thought-provoking discussion on the advantages of looking beyond your current geographic area, especially with the holiday-induced decline in the number of houses on the market. However, it's not all doom and gloom; with interest rates hitting a four-month low, the potential for job growth and a bolstered economy is on the horizon.
In the spirit of keeping you informed, we take you on a journey through the world of real estate loans. Ever thought about assuming a mortgage (only FHA) from a previous owner? We discuss why this could be a viable option for some. We also compare the housing market data from this year with last year, emphasizing an increase in average prices and days on the market. To keep things light, we introduce a fascinating product called "Magic Mind," a drink that promises to slash stress levels and boost focus – we could all use a little of that magic, couldn't we? #magicmind
To cap things off, we delve into the future of home prices. While a report from Redfin predicts a dip in home prices in 2024, our perspective, based on a survey of 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, is more optimistic. Although there may be a slight decrease in appreciation in 2024, home prices are projected to continue their upward trajectory through 2027. After considering factors like unemployment rates and inflation, we conclude there's no time for despair in the real estate market. So, join us every Thursday at 7pm for your regular update on the real estate market. Isn't it time to stay ahead of the curve? #bradweisman #peteheim #realestate #thebradweismanshow

Imagine if you could understand the real estate market better than ever before, unlocking the reality of rising interest rates and their impact. That's exactly what we're promising in this riveting exchange with my good friend, Pete Heim.

But we're not just focusing on the present. We're also journeying back to revisit the 2008 financial crisis and its profound effects on the real estate market. We recall some shocking tales of sellers coughing up $60,000 just to free themselves from their homes. Fast forward to today's scenario, we examine the current inventory levels, low foreclosure rates, and the role of new construction and investors in contributing to low inventory. And to top it off, prepare to be amazed by a success story - a humble townhouse, initially listed at $154,900 with no kitchen, selling for OVER Full Price, with ten cash offers. Join us for a conversation that offers invaluable insights and tips for anyone remotely interested in real estate.

Do you think it's fair for someone with a GOOD Credit Score to pay more in fees than a person with a LOW Credit Score?

I had the amazing priviliege of being able to interview, Lou Cinfici, a World War II Veteran on my podcast, and it was all possible because of the curosity and passion of Tyler Boland. Tyler (19 years old) is on a quest to document via audio and video, the stories of 100 World War II Veterans. What's funny is he's already past the 100 mark and he's NOT going to Stop!
Tyler tells his story of what inspired him to do this and the passion he has for talking to as many WWII Vets as possible before the stories fade, along with the brave men and women that made up "The Greatest Generation". Lou shares stories of his time serving our country, as he went on to also serve in the Korean War and Vietnam War. Lou is one of 9 brothers and 2 sisters... amazingly enough all of his brothers served in WWII also.
The friendship that has developed between Lou, almost 95 years old and Tyler at 19, gives hope, that even though they are generations apart, there's respect and admiration that goes both ways. I'm proud of Tyler for what he's doing and of course I can't thank Lou enough for all the sacrifices he (and his family) has made for our country.

Are you waiting for 3.5% interest rates before you act on your HOME Goals? Do you think HOME prices are going to drop in a big way this year? I think you may be surprised that it's NOT near as BAD as the media makes it out to be. Remember too, real estate is LOCAL... what is happening in California is completely different than what is happening here.

Listen to Pete and Brad breakdown the numbers from 2022 and talk about the balancing we see for 2023. Signs Signs Everywhere Signs!! :)
What is really crazy is our local numbers are pretty much right in line w/ the National Numbers. That's NOT always the case. We are seeing pockets of price softening in the certain parts of the country.
Overall Interest Rates have softened a bit and seem to be less Volatile. Home Prices as a whole are still NOT budging too much because LOW INVENTORY is still the TALK of the DAY. Get the rest of the details from Brad and Pete on this latest REAY podcast!

John Scipione is in the top one percent of REALTORS® in the North New Jersey Marketplace, with over 15 years of successful real estate sales experience and over $380 MILLION in sales.
I wanted chat with someone from New Jersey to see what they are experiencing in the real estate market. Is it similar to PA or completely different? Many things are the same but their are some differences. ONE common challenge is Inventory, which is a tough challenge to overcome short term.
What's funny is none of the agents I've talked to, including John, are overly concerned about interest rates. Rates are NOT in our control and they only define your price range, NOT your ability to PURCHASE.

Rates have settled into the new reality, which is in the 6% range. OUR biggest challenge is not the rates, it's still inventory. Get all the latest REAL NEWS from this show!!

It's not a sexy topic but someone has to talk about it... so why not me! :)
I thought with everyone talking about the doom and gloom of the housing market (that really isn't bad at all), why not bring in Sheriff Eric Weaknecht to talk about the Foreclosure to Sheriff Sale Process. Eric (Weaknecht), shares some numbers from the big crash of 2008 vs where we are today... the numbers are not supporting the doom and gloom.
Foreclosures are still at all time lows, which in turn means Sheriff Sales will be the same in the years to come. Homeowners have Equity... that's the one BIG difference between 2008 and now.
This episode gives great insight into how the process works. We also dig into the Sheriff Department's other roles within the County and what we can do to help them!

Jordan Kreitz (no stranger to REAY), joins Brandon and I to chat about some strange things she saw while showing homes to the same buyers.

Oh and let's throw in an attic with a padlocked door leading to an area with 10 kids cots. YUP... you'll want to listen to this one for sure!

Pete Heim and Brad chat about the slight uptick in national foreclosures, although they are still very low when looking at the national 30 year averages.
Be careful what you listen to, when making real estate decisions, because national market conditions are many times very different than local market conditions.
We cover a lot on this episode... interest rates, inventory update, national numbers, local numbers and so much more!!

Great show show featuring our "Home Grown Hollwood" actor and musician, Owen Asztalos. Owen has been in several Popular Films, TV Series and National Commercials, such as:
The Flight Attendant
Hillbilly Elegy
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul
Geico Commercial (Marco Polo)
… to name a few!
He got bit by the entertainment bug at the age 3 by doing an Elvis impersonation and he hasn't stopped entertaining since then. We dig into what it's like working with the "A" list of actors he's worked with, such as Glenn Close, Ray Liotta, and Amy Adams, just to name a few. He also does a killer Ron Howard impersonation, after spending a lot of time with during the filming of Hillbilly Elegy.

SPECIAL EDITION
Our guest this time included a dog... not just any dog... it was K9 Brutus from the Reading Police K9 unit!! You will hear some panting for sure in the background and even a burp at one point from our furry friend. So much information about this special unit and the costs associated with having a K9 unit. Brutus is a bomb sniffing dog and thank goodness our studio was cleared! :)
Brutus also brought Officer Josh Faust (his handler) and Suzy Lysczek a committee member of the non profit, The Friends of the Reading Police K9 Unit. Suzy and her committee raise funds to help defray the costs of having a K9 unit and w/ out their help, this unit probably wouldn't exist.
I learned so much about how the dogs get trained, where they are from and What Language they Speak!! Yes that's right, they do NOT go by English Commands.

As the market changes, we will see more of the past practices coming back into the home sale process... ONE OF THEM is Inspections!!
Vinny Williamson, from ComfortSpec is here to remind us what the inspection process is all about. It's NOT a bad thing for anyone, buyers get to know the property better and seller's reduce their after the sale liability.
We talk about MOLD! We talk about Septic Inspections! Vinny Williams says a good inspector is not there to ruin a deal, they are there to educate the buyer on the home they purchased.

He watched his dad in this industry for his whole life and NOW he's seeing it from a totally different angle. If you ever thought about being a Realtor, you should listen to this podcast.

He also has a passion for helping his clients realize this American Dream of owning a home. The market is changing and Chris is adapting quickly to help his clients adapt along the way.

The idea for this series came from Brandon Lesagonicz (realtor/friend from Keller Williams). He said what if we told stories about our business that people don't normally hear? What if we went behind the scenes to expose the Sad, the Bad and the Funny of our business? So that's what we decided to do!!
This first episode is us sharing some REAL stories about things that happened to us while helping our clients navigate the home buying/selling process. We love what we do, but there's definitely crazy things we See, Hear and Unfortunately sometimes SMELL. :)
Join us every episode as we bring on other Realtors to tell their stories and have fun along the way! Join us on Real Estate and YOU - Behind Closed Doors!

There's so much to think about beyond the home purchase, so I brought Justin Perella in to go over a few important topics to think about. When you change your financial positions in life (buying a home for first time or upgrading to higher value home), you need to think about things we don't typically like to think about. What if something happens to you or your spouse? If the bread winner is no longer around (god forbid), will the remaining spouse be able to keep up with the expenses? Check your LIFE insurance to be sure there's enough!!
Everyone is talking about the RATES going up... is it really as bad as you think? Look at the numbers, than look at the investment you are making. Even at 6.25% YOU should purchase the home you LOVE and in the first year you'll still be ahead!! Listen to the show to find out why!

Justin Perella from Contour Mortgage jumps back in the REAY studio to chat about all the other positives surrounding the Rate Hike. BUY the home you LOVE NOW and GET the RATE you want Later! GREAT SHOW!!
There's so much more about buying a home than the RATE... the RATE is temporary because you can refinance out of it when rates drop. If you don't buy the home you LOVE because of the RATE, it most likely won't be there when the rates drop. BUY NOW... get the Better RATE Later!

I messed up my schedule so I didn't have a guest scheduled like I thought I did. I decided to start a new series in that moment called "In the Trenches" and my first victim... I mean guest was Jordan Kreitz from our office.
My goal is to get agents from our office that are on the front line like myself working with buyers and sellers and have them tell the market they are experiencing. Tell some real life stories, so everyone knows that it's not rainbows and puppies out there. GREAT job Jordan!!

Pete Heim is back in the Studio (w/ Brad), for his monthly Pete's Point of View (Market Update)! The seller is still in charge of the market and inventory is wobbling back and forth, but still remains LOW. Finding rental housing is not any easier and can cost you more in the long run. If you're going to pay a mortgage payment, why not have it be your OWN!
Don't try to time the market... appreciation is going to happen, so jump in now to take part in rising values!!

My brave guest, Taylor Patullo, put in more offers on homes than any other client that I've had in my 29 years of being in this business. The 10th one was a charm!! If you are a buyer in this market, or even if you're not, you'll want to hear (in her words) what she was thinking, what she was being told by others and how it all ended up working out just fine. At the end of the day, she got a wonderful home and is living happily ever after with her boyfriend Travis.
Don't lose hope, you will find a home, and you will love the home you find! If you start to feel depressed, just listen to this podcast and you'll know it's all going to be ok. :)

My good friend (and past client), Marissa Banks, decided to start a BLOG about her experiences as a MOM with her young family. She looks at things a little different and likes to sit back at the end of the day with a cup of TEA and ponder her experiences. The TEA ritual became part of the name for her BLOG... "As My Tea Steeps"
When I asked curiously about the name of her BLOG, this is what she said... Similar to the way we extract the goodness from a bag of tea, I'm always looking for ways to make the most of life and find meanings in the simple moments. Which is what she does, and now shares them on a public format (facebook).
This show has pretty much nothing to do with Real Estate, but I really enjoyed her idea and read her first posts and decided this was good for all that are willing to listen. :) ENJOY and support Marissa Banks.

Get good grades, get a college degree, take student loans, get a good job, and sit in a cubicle for 40 years. Like everyone else he knew, Bryce Stewart believed this was the only realistic Economic Life Plan.
But through Real Estate Investing, he was able to retire from his 9-to-5 Teaching Job at age 35. He now spends his days with his wife and four daughters, free from the commitment of a traditional job. He loves to golf, supports Young Life, is involved at his church, tosses a mean frisbee, coaches his daughters’ lacrosse teams, plays guitar too loud, takes his wife on adventurous vacations and is an avid reader.
He hopes to inspire and instruct others to follow a similar path toward Financial Freedom while they are still young enough to enjoy it!
Bryce is now the author of a new book called House Hackers Guide to the Galaxy. You can pick it up on Amazon. Click HERE!

No one can tell the future, but we can make an educated guess on what we think it will look like. Mark Chaknos and Susan McFadden are my guests for the last episode of REAY for 2020! We chat about where we've been and where we think we are going in 2021. We all agreed that the future looks bright for 2021. COVID vaccine is making it's way into society and should start to lower the stress of getting the virus. Rates are great and inventory is low, so home prices will still be going up. Overall the real estate industry had a good year in 2020.
Great episode on our best guess for 2021... and some good humor in between.
