You’re about to learn a new term that will majorly impact your business… and it’s just two, simple words courtesy of author and 30-year mortgage industry veteran JJ Mazzo: “Life rate.” Millions of homeowners feel stuck in their low mortgage interest rate. You hear it all the time – “Our rate is just too good. We’d love to move but we can’t sell now.” Here’s the problem: They’re not seeing the big picture. People are struggling financially due to “other” debt they’ve accumulated – their “life rate” – and failing to realize their home equity can actually solve their financial woes. On today’s podcast, JJ reveals the conversations you should be having to help these people convert “bad” debt to “good” debt – and earn more listings as a result. JJ’s tips provide a fantastic solution to a problem with no end in sight. On the pod, we also discuss: • How to use “The Anniversary Call” to reengage past clients in a meaningful way • Why new agents enjoy an advantage over certain veterans in today’s market – are you letting this happen to you? • The importance of focusing on what you can control • The aftermath of JJ’s first book, “Perseverance Principles,” and what to expect in his soon-to-be-released follow-up. There are certain people with the ability to cut through the clutter and share tons of wisdom in the name of helping others. JJ Mazzo is definitely one of those people. Don’t miss this episode.

What separates the best from the rest? In any profession, you have your elite performers… the top 5%... who seem to naturally differentiate themselves from everyone else. The question then becomes, “What makes them special?” I got the answer from Rockstar sports psychologist Gio Valiente, and last week, I shared it with the thousands of agents at my annual Success Summit. Today’s Tom Ferry Podcast Experience delivers an excerpt from that session, exploring five traits common to those extraordinary individuals. In it, you’ll learn: The reason why most people underperform compared to their potential Beyond talent and work ethic, why it’s critical to own your unique perspective How elite performers turn best practices into habits and repeatable processes Why letting go of the “control freak” mentality is crucial to your success, and more! Here’s the harsh truth – all of us are capable of so much more than we actually achieve. If you’re ready to tap into your full potential, this is a can’t-miss episode!

Every 1000 YouTube subscribers generates between 1 and 3 real estate transactions a year. Here are the YouTube tips for real estate agents that make that math work in your favor. READY TO GROW YOUR REAL ESTATE BUSINESS ON YOUTUBE? Schedule a free call with a Tom Ferry consultant: https://www.tomferry.com/free-coaching-consultation/ THE BREAKDOWN: 73% of consumers are now searching for property on YouTube — and most real estate agents are not showing up. In this episode, Tom Ferry sits down with YouTube coach Aaron Cuha, author of Crazy Simple YouTube, to break down the exact YouTube tips for real estate agents that turn subscribers into transactions. The math is simple. One video a week gets you 5 to 8 thousand subscribers. Three videos a week gets you 25 to 35 thousand. Five videos a week and you hit 100 thousand in a year. Every thousand subscribers generates one to three real estate transactions annually. Aaron covers the complete system — channel setup, Gemini bio writing, TubeBuddy keyword research, naming your channel around search terms, semantic listening, the 12-minute property tour formula, post-production upload checklist, and advanced analytics. Real proof: Patrick OConor — zero to 80K subscribers in five months. Jonathan — first million dollar lead in 10 videos. Leah Courage — 150 leads from going viral. Aaron himself launched a Cabo channel 10 days before recording and hit 1200 subscribers ranking number one for every target keyword. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 — Welcome 0:05 — Introduction — 73% of consumers now search for property on YouTube 1:48 — Welcome back Aaron Cuha — the YouTube masterclass begins 2:04 — Step 1 — Setting up your YouTube channel banner image and bio 2:52 — Using Gemini to create a keyword-rich bio for your channel 3:13 — Step 2 — Keyword research with TubeBuddy Semrush and Keywords Everywhere 3:36 — How to name your channel around keywords not your name 4:33 — The first 30 characters of your title carry the most weight 5:51 — Step 3 — How many videos per week and what subscriber growth to expect 6:44 — One video per week versus three versus five — the subscriber math 7:26 — Every 1000 subscribers generates one to three transactions per year 8:19 — Case studies — Arondo Nava 270K Patrick OConor 80K Leah Courage 150 leads 10:21 — Step 4 — Create content based on what people are actually searching for 11:26 — Step 5 — Property tours are the number one searched content on YouTube 12:54 — Step 6 — Record and post — the video you never post never gets you a lead 13:09 — The framework for the perfect property tour video 14:23 — Semantic listening — YouTube now transcribes and matches what you say 15:06 — How to say keywords naturally in the first 30 seconds 16:44 — The opening hook formula — tease the best thing about the property 19:20 — Post-production — naming your file playlist and description 20:49 — Tags are for analytics not ranking — how TubeBuddy tracks your positions 22:44 — The complete upload checklist — title description tags playlist 24:07 — Email your database and turn every video into a blog post backlink 26:31 — Advanced strategy — analytics average viewer duration and drop-off points ------------ Interested in a FREE Coaching Consultation?

From $10M to almost quitting — to $143M in one year. These are the luxury real estate tips Manhattan's top agent wishes he knew sooner. Michael Franco started in real estate in 2008 with a law degree, 14 years of closing experience, and zero idea how to actually build a business. He sold $25 million his first full year. Then sat back and waited for the phone to ring. By 2012 he was down to $10 million and almost walked away from real estate entirely. Then he found coaching. And everything changed. Today Michael is one of Manhattan's most respected luxury real estate agents at Compass — with $1.5 billion in career sales and $143 million closed in 2025 alone. In this episode Tom Ferry sits down with Michael to unpack the luxury real estate tips, mindset shifts and business decisions that made the difference — including: • Why being a former attorney gives you an unfair advantage in luxury real estate • The 3 decisions that transformed Michael's career from $10M to $143M • How to earn trust with wealth managers, accountants and family offices • What luxury clients are really hiring you to do — and how to deliver it • The psychology of getting comfortable at a higher price point • The co-listing strategy that gets you into luxury real estate fast • The biggest pricing mistakes luxury agents make — and the scripts that fix them • The pre-launch phone and email campaign most agents completely skip • Where Michael is investing his marketing dollars in 2026 — and why print is out "Everybody has imposter syndrome in the beginning. You gotta get a little confidence, remove the ego, and just serve the customer." — Tom Ferry If you want to break into luxury real estate or take your high end business to the next level — this episode is for you. --------------------- Let’s Connect: Get Your Real Estate Coaching Consultation → https://www.tomferry.com/free-coaching-consultation/ Attend A Tom Ferry Event → https://store.tomferry.com/ Free Tools & Playbooks for Real Estate Agents → https://www.tomferry.com/agent-tools/ Visit My Website → https://www.tomferry.com/ Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/tomferry Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/TomFerry X → https://x.com/tomferry ------------ Interested in a FREE Coaching Consultation?
