At just 12 years old, she found herself interpreting for her parents at the closing table when they purchased their first home, an ex...

In this episode of Mindful Agent, I explore a shift that changed the way I approach real estate: seeing the agent on the other side of the transaction as a collaborator instead of a competitor. I break down how scarcity, ego, and the need to “win” can make transactions harder, and why operating from service, integrity, and abundance can create better outcomes for everyone involved. What you'll lea...

In this episode, I explore one of the biggest misconceptions high achievers face: the belief that happiness lives on the other side of the next goal.

But what if that's the tr...

In this episode of Mindful Agent, Michael Coxen breaks down the psychological principle that explains why some real estate agents get repeat referrals for years while others get forgotten after closing.   Using Daniel Kahneman’s “Peak-End Rule,” Michael explains how clients actually remember experiences and why the emotional peak of a transaction and the ending matter more than anything else.   💡...

We get into his transformation from unhealthy habits and emotional decision-making to a more intentional, grounded lifestyle built on fitness, fasting, and mental clarity.   Jared opens up...

In this episode, I break down a shift that most real estate agents overlook. It is not the market, rates, or lead flow holding you back. It is what you consistently allow yourself to think about when nobody is watching.   I share a concept from Thomas Troward, reinforced by Dr. Wayne Dyer, called the law of flotation. The idea is simple but powerful. Breakthroughs are not built by focusing on what...

In this episode, I sit down with Josh Lyons, a high ticket sales trainer and the founder of the Unicorn Closer Mastermind.

In this episode, I share a truth that most agents avoid: when we struggle, it's rarely because of the market. It's because we never built the internal foundation required to handle change. We obsess over what the market was three years ago or what it might be three years from now, but we forget the only market that matters is the one right in front of us—and the agent we are inside of it.   I revi...

I want to talk about something that comes up every January, and honestly, something I’ve stopped buying into over the years. New Year’s resolutions.   Not because growth doesn’t matter. It does. But because tying real change to a calendar date quietly gives us permission to wait. And waiting is usually where momentum dies.   In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I share why I don’t set goals the w...

Real estate isn’t just about deals, doors, or dollar signs — it’s about who you become while you’re building it.

There’s a moment in every real estate career — and honestly, in every life — where you realize that reacting your way through the day is the fastest path to burnout. In this episode, I share the mindset shift that changed everything for me, inspired by a single line from Ram Dass's Be Here Now:   “You’re standing on a bridge watching yourself go by.”   It sounds poetic… until you actually try it....

Some of my favorite moments on The Mindful Agent are the ones that stop feeling like a podcast and start feeling like sitting on the couch with a friend.    This episode with Paul Benedict — longtime realtor, yogi, teacher, and author — is exactly that.

You ever walk into a room and just feel something’s off — even if you can’t explain why? That’s the kind of energy we’re talking about today.   In this episode, I sit down with Kate Swick, a Feng Shui practitioner, astrologer, and intuitive coach who’s helping people turn their homes and workspaces into environments that actually support who they are. Kate shares her journey from running luxury sp...

There’s a moment every one of us faces in business and in life—the choice between holding back because of fear, or stepping forward even when our stomach is in knots. In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I open up about how I’ve learned to stop waiting until I felt “ready” and instead build confidence by doing the very thing I thought I couldn’t.   The truth is, action reshapes identity. Every ph...

In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I sit down with Brandon Bauman, a former professional golfer turned coach and entrepreneur, to explore how the lessons he’s learned in golf carry over into business and life.   Brandon’s story is inspiring, going from chasing the dream of profes...

Too many agents spend their energy worrying about interest rates, the economy, or the market—but none of that sells a home or serves a client. In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I share why I’ve stopped letting fear and uncertainty run the show, and how I’ve found joy in the grind instead. Real growth isn’t found in the big closings or the applause. It’s in the phone calls, the follow-ups, the...

For me, it meant turning my calendar into more than a productivity tool—it became a mirror of my values.   I talk about how I w...
