Consult with AMEScroll, Show, Sell, RepeatThis week’s business meeting took a turn I didn’t expect—but maybe we needed it. We dove into a topic that’s personal for me, and if we’re honest, probably for most of us in this industry: dopamine and the way real estate plays into our addiction to the chase.Let’s start here: dopamine isn’t about the reward—it’s about the pursuit of the reward. It’s that hit you get when the client says, “We’re writing an offer,” and your brain immediately lights up with anticipation. It’s why we refresh our email 83 time...2025-05-2815 min
Consult with AMEThe Challenge of Discipline in Real EstateDiscipline is hard—especially in real estate. It’s not just the long hours or emotional toll. It’s the travel, the conferences, the client calls at 9 p.m., the unpredictability of your day, your week, your month. This business asks a lot of us. And it doesn’t pause just because we’re tired.At the start of 2025, I made a commitment—to myself and to the agents I lead—that we were going to flip the script. We launched a 75-day health challenge that encourages our team to put themselves first. Because real talk? You cannot pour fr...2025-04-3006 min

Consult with AMEPhases of a Real Estate Career: Growth, Business, and LeadershipThe Three Phases of a Real Estate Career: Growth, Business, and LeadershipReal estate is a journey—one that brings people from all walks of life into an industry full of opportunity. It’s not a one-size-fits-all career path, and there’s no single way to succeed. Instead, agents move through different stages of growth, each with its own set of challenges and rewards. Whether you’re just starting out, building your brand, or stepping into a leadership role, understanding these phases can help you navigate your career with confidence.Phase One: The Excited New Agent2025-01-3013 min

Consult with AMEHow Football Teaches Us to Win in Changing TimesDown here in the South, football isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. It’s full of lessons that go way beyond the field. Not too long ago, I shot a video talking about how the transfer portal was going to shake up college football, making everyone rethink how they recruit, pay players, and build teams. Now, as I look at what’s happening in real estate, I can’t help but see some pretty strong parallels. Just like in football, the key to success in real estate comes down to solid leadership, being able to adapt, an...2024-08-2001 min
Consult with AMEKeeping Calm in the CrazyHey everyone! I stumbled across a really cool chart that I just have to share with you. It’s from Mike DelPrete, who’s a real estate tech strategist at the University of Colorado Boulder. He put together something called the DelPrete Probability Paradox, and it really nails what a lot of us have been thinking and feeling in our industry lately.Quick backstory: I met Mike briefly at a conference—he probably wouldn’t remember me—but I’m convinced we’d be besties if we ever had the chance to geek out together. His work, especially thi...2024-08-1309 min
Consult with AMEHandling Hard BetterI wanted to share some thoughts sparked by a video I saw in a class earlier today. This is being shot in the afternoon, so my energy might be a little different, but the message is crucial. The video featured Kara Lawson, the women's basketball coach at Duke University. It was a clip they showed on SportsCenter, where she talks to her female athletes about handling hardship better. Her insights resonated deeply with me.When I was in college, I was a student-athlete too. Back then, I didn't fully grasp what hardship meant for me. My experiences...2024-08-0606 min

Consult with AMEIt's Recharging, Not RestingSo for me, rest seems boring. You know that feeling when a child gets overstimulated and they start crying, unable to control their emotions? It's like they just need a nap, some rest, to reset.As you grow older, especially when leading an organization, that overstimulation can be similar. Even if you're not maxed out, that constant go-go-go feeling can become addictive. But eventually, you hit a point where you realize you need to slow down.For me right now, that means Major and I walked six miles last Sunday. We strolled to the park...2024-07-1601 min
Consult with AMEFostering Stretch MomentsEver seen someone step up to a big, company-wide project—a stretch for them—and absolutely crush it? I've had several instances where I've given people opportunities to participate and/or lead challenging projects. Despite their initial nerves and worries, they excelled and exceeded expectations. It's like being a proud mom watching them succeed, knowing they could do it. They feel accomplished, encouraged, and inspired to take on more challenges.Seeing their growth motivates me to seek out more stretch projects. I want to push myself further and continue to grow. I thrive on that feel...2024-07-0901 min
Consult with AMEAI can't replace the "human" for youHaving just read "Unreasonable Hospitality" by Will Giardina, it's clear we all crave curated, handpicked experiences. But in a world where AI predicts our every need, we risk losing that personal touch.To truly care and understand others, it takes more than just surface knowledge. It's about building deep, meaningful connections—not just close, but profoundly connected. You can't outsource this level of empathy and service. It requires your personal investment and genuine effort to truly appreciate and serve others.Feeling inspired by the message of "Unreasonable Hospitality," but wondering how it applies to real es...2024-07-0201 min
Consult with AMECulture isn't taught, its caughtAs the broker leader, you set the tone for your team. Will even mentions in his book (Unreasonable Hospitality) that culture isn't taught, it's caught. This means it's not just about talking about your vision; it's about your team seeing you live out what's important to you.Demonstrating that caring and kindness can be cool sets a powerful example. Your behavior influences your team members, who, in turn, support your agents. They mimic your actions and attitudes.

Consult with AMEI put myself out there and hosted my first book club...There aren't many opportunities to find a safe space where you can deeply discuss what's happening in your brokerage and be vulnerable with other broker managers who are in the same boat. You can't talk about these things with your agents because you need to project confidence and strength.However, when I found such a space, it was a powerful reminder of the amazing people in this industry that I deeply respect. They needed a place to be vulnerable, and so did I. Get full access to Consult with AME at consultwithame.substack.com...2024-06-1801 min
