Agent Rise Podcast

Are you feeling burnt out from trying to be everywhere on social media?

You’re not alone—and you’re not wrong for feeling that way.

In this episode, I answer one of the most common questions I get from agents:
“Do I really need social media to succeed in real estate?”

The truth? You can absolutely build a thriving business without it.

Inside this episode, we’ll unpack:

• Why social media is a tool, not a requirement

• How to build a powerful real estate business rooted in relationships

• What to focus on if you want results without the content chaos

• How to create a clear plan that works with or without posting daily

• And a simple content framework to follow if you choose to show up online

Whether you're overwhelmed by Instagram or just want permission to do things differently, this one’s for you.

I’m breaking down the most powerful insights from the entire three-day event. You’ll learn how to get out of survival mode, stop spinning your wheels, and build a business that finally feels clear and congruent.

Inside this episode:
– The mindset shift that broke agents out of fear
– A simple strategy to get 30–60 real conversations every week
– The real reason your marketing isn’t working (and how to fix it)

Don’t miss it—your breakthrough could be just one takeaway away.

Are you feeling stuck in real estate? Like you're doing everything right but still not seeing results?

In this episode, I sit down with Maryland real estate agent Eddie Brady, who went all in on his business after leaving his federal government job — and built a thriving, dream-worthy career using the Agent Rise framework.

Eddie shares how he pushed through slow months, stayed consistent when it felt like nothing was working, and built a powerhouse YouTube and Instagram strategy that brings in leads every single week — without cold calling or door knocking.

You'll learn:

• The mindset shift that changed everything for Eddie

• How to stay consistent when progress feels slow

• What it really takes to build trust through YouTube & Instagram

• Why newsletters still work in 2024

• How to use lead magnets and email nurturing to turn views into deals
