Empire Building

What if the biggest key to unlocking your potential isnt out in the worldits already inside you?

This week, we had the rare pleasure of flipping the script with Jason Abramshost of the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Podcast, real estate titan, and someone weve admired for a long time. Hes usually the one asking the questions, but today, Jason let us in on his story, his wisdom, and the deeply personal lessons hes carrying into the next chapter of his life.

From being a self-proclaimed academic underachiever with a 1.8 GPA to becoming the Head of Industry at Keller Williams, Jasons story is one of grit, purpose, and heart. We talk about the role his mother played in shaping his early confidence, how he learned to lead by influence instead of authority, and why his son is his biggest teacher right now.

We also dive into how Jason chooses what to read (and why reading with purpose is different from being an intellectual tourist), the moments that shaped his views on love and leadership, and the wisdom hes gained from hundreds of interviews with top performers in business and life.

And we get personal. Jason shares what he hopes to leave his son, how he's approaching legacy through a video library, and why relationshipsnot success or stuffare the next frontier of growth for him.

Trust us, this episode is filled with gold. Youll walk away thinking differently about leadership, purpose, and the people who help unlock the best parts of who we are.

Finding the right person to lead your business isn’t just about making the right hire—it’s about understanding the true value you offer and being bold enough to share it. In this very special first-of-its-kind episode, Tiffany invited Sarah to coach her live on the show about a challenge she’s been struggling with for five years: how to attract the right leadership to her team.

You’ll hear us dig into the root of what’s been holding Tiffany back, and why so many women in business struggle to articulate the value of what we’ve built. And as Sarah starts to pull stories out of her—stories she doesn’t often share—Tiffany was reminded just how much impact she’s made through her business.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not telling your story well enough—or if you’re second-guessing whether people really understand the opportunity to work with you—this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with concrete language shifts, sales strategies, and a reminder that you’re not “bragging”—you’re sharing what’s possible when people partner with you.

What if I told you your emotional intelligence could be your biggest sales superpower? In this episode, we’re diving into exactly that. Emotional intelligence—or EQ—isn’t just about understanding others. It’s about using that understanding to make more sales, build stronger relationships, and grow a bigger, more sustainable empire.

We’re breaking down three key ways EQ shows up in sales: reading the room and understanding your clients, regulating your own emotions in high-stakes moments, and using empathy to influence without pressure. From mirroring tone and body language to the power of labeling your client's emotions, we’re sharing real stories (including a few early-career sales meltdowns!) and tactical tips to help you master the art of connecting.

If you’ve ever felt like you lost a deal because you were too pushy—or not pushy enough—this episode will shift your perspective. EQ isn’t just a “soft skill.” It’s a sales strategy. And when you start tapping into it, you’ll find that trust builds faster, clients open up more, and the close almost happens naturally.

Whether you’re a seasoned sales pro or just trying to find your footing, this conversation will help you lead with connection—and ultimately, win more deals. So grab your notebook, your coffee, and your big empire energy. Let’s build.

What does it take to build a career that aligns with your strengths, supports your personal life, and fuels your passion? In this episode, we continue our conversation with Anna Krueger, diving into how she strategically designed a career that gives her both financial success and the freedom to live on her terms. After years of navigating personal challenges—including being a full-time caretaker for her mother—Anna knew she needed a role that not only leveraged her natural talents but also provided the flexibility to prioritize what mattered most.

From stepping into the world of real estate inside sales to becoming a sought-after coach and trainer, Anna shares how she identified opportunities, created her own path, and fiercely protected her time and energy. She discusses the power of StrengthsFinder in shaping her career, the importance of time blocking and boundaries, and how she transitioned from one-on-one coaching to scalable training programs that maximize her impact. Her journey is a testament to the idea that success isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working in alignment with who you are.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a role that doesn’t quite fit or wondered how to create a career that truly supports your life, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Anna’s story proves that the best way forward isn’t always conventional, but with intention and strategy, you can craft a business and life you love.

What happens when life takes an unexpected turn and forces you to reinvent yourself? Anna Krueger knows firsthand how to pivot, persevere, and turn life’s challenges into a career of impact. From starting as a high school teacher in Baltimore to unexpectedly landing in sales—a field she swore she’d never touch—Anna’s journey is proof that sometimes the best opportunities come from the most unlikely places. When she discovered a passion for training and coaching, she didn’t wait for permission; she created her own role, convinced leadership to support her vision, and built a career that aligned with her strengths.

But reinvention isn’t always by choice. Anna’s life changed overnight when she became a full-time caretaker for her mother after a devastating stage four cancer diagnosis. Suddenly, the career she had worked so hard to build had to fit around hospital visits, late-night ER trips, and the weight of navigating an uncertain future. She shares how she managed work and grief, the moments of light in an otherwise dark season, and the lessons she learned about resilience, friendship, and the power of community.

Anna’s story is raw, real, and full of insights for anyone navigating career shifts or personal trials. Whether you’re facing a major life transition or simply wondering if you’re on the right path, this episode is a testament to the power of adaptability and the importance of building a life—not just a business—that truly supports you.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we dive into how Anna turned these experiences into a thriving career that empowers others!
