Episode 771: The Social Media Strategy Most People Skip

I spent years watching how people use social media, and most of it looks the same. Post something. Scroll. Like a few things. Disappear. Then complain that social media feels pointless or exhausting.
This video is where I explain the system I use to turn social media into actual relationships. I built it while working with Facebook and Instagram, and I still use it every day. I call it LCM Plus.
I walk through how I like posts with intention, comment in a way that shows I actually read what someone shared, and follow up with a message that makes the interaction personal. Then I explain the part most people skip. Taking the relationship off the screen with a short note or a simple invite that shows someone they matter.
I also share how long I spend doing this each day, how I started small, and why this approach changed how social media feels for me entirely.
If social media has felt noisy or empty, this is probably why.
What you will learn: • How I turn likes into real conversations • How comments build familiarity over time • How messaging creates actual connection • Why the offline follow up matters

Episode 770: How I Stopped Posting Like Everyone Else

I was thinking about influence, power, and how people respond to voices they trust. It came up while talking about a book called Anointed, and it led me straight back to social media and why most content never connects.
The biggest platforms in the world decide what gets shown based on what people already respond to. That forced me to get honest about who I am trying to reach and how I show up. After working with Facebook and Instagram for four years, I built a simple process that I still use today. I call it STAY.
In this video, I explain how I use STAY to decide what I post and why it works. I walk through how I sell with stories instead of constant announcements, how I teach things people already ask me about, how I give advice tied to what I actually enjoy, and why showing up consistently matters more than trying to look polished.
This is the same framework I used to figure out what people respond to over time instead of guessing every day.
What you will learn: • How I use stories instead of constant selling • How I decide what to teach on social media • Why personal interests help content connect • How I review what works after 30 days

Episode 769: 4 Ways Claude Fixes Lazy Listing Prep

Every agent says they want to work smarter, not harder. Then they show up with the same CMA, the same tired listing description, and a follow up plan that lives on a sticky note that says “call them back.”
This video walks you through four very real ways real estate agents can use Claude AI to show up better without sounding scripted or salesy. Not theory. Not hype. Just things I actually use before listing appointments, during pricing conversations, and inside my CRM.
You will learn how to prep smarter for listings, write property descriptions people actually read, build buyer guides you can reuse forever, and clean up follow up messages that do not make people cringe. I will spill how to start small, pick one system, and actually stick with it instead of trying to fix everything in one week and quitting by Wednesday.
Most agents know they should be doing this. They just do not.
What you will learn: • How to prep pricing conversations without guessing • How to write listings without sounding outdated • How to build buyer guides once and reuse them • How to follow up without “just checking in”

Episode 768: Why Benjamin Franklin Hated To Do Lists

Benjamin Franklin tracked his failures every single day. Not his wins. Failures. With black dots in a notebook. And somehow that worked better than every productivity app, CRM reminder, and color coded calendar you and I keep ignoring by Wednesday.
This video breaks down Franklin’s 13 Virtues system and why a 300 year old habit still works better than modern productivity tools for real estate agents. Franklin did not try to fix his whole life at once. He focused on one virtue per week, tracked where he fell short, and moved on. This is pure discipline, focus, and brutal honesty.
You will see how this system applies directly to your real estate business, your follow up, your morning routine, your organization, your time management, your mindset, and yes even your messy desk. I will walk you through all 13 virtues and how I have adapted them to real estate, accountability, and daily habits that actually stick.
If productivity apps worked, you would already be done.
What you will learn: • Why tracking failures builds real discipline • How one focus per week reduces overload • How Franklin’s virtues fit real estate agents • A simple system that works without tech

Episode 766: Show Up Better: 4 Habits That Win Clients in 60 Seconds

22 years in real estate taught me this hard truth: clients decide how much they trust you long before you talk about price, strategy, or square footage. One bad habit can quietly cost you deals, referrals, and long-term relationships.
In this video, I break down four simple habits that instantly help you show up better with clients, past clients, and even billion dollar boardroom types. No scripts. No fake charisma. Just small moves that signal respect, attention, and trust.
These ideas come straight from my real estate experience, client meetings, coaching calls, and a few mistakes I wish I’d avoided sooner. This is relationship-based business advice that works in real estate sales, client meetings, listing appointments, buyer consultations, and everyday conversations.
You’ll learn: • Why your phone is sabotaging your client meetings • How repeating someone’s words builds instant trust • The small personal detail most agents ignore • The follow-up call that creates referrals without asking
If you care about client relationships, real estate marketing, trust-based selling, communication skills, leadership presence, client retention, referrals, personal branding, sales psychology, real estate coaching, and showing up like a pro, this one’s for you.

Episode 765: This Morning Routine Fixed 83% of My Bad Days

I used to think mornings just happened to me. Turns out, 83 percent of my worst days started because I let my phone run my brain before I did. So yeah, that was on me.
In part two of this routine, I walk through the exact morning routine I use to show up sharper, calmer, and way less reactive. This routine is inspired by Hal Elrod, refined through years of coaching real estate agents, and adjusted because copying someone else’s routine word for word rarely works. You already have a morning routine. You just might not like the results it’s giving you.
I break down the MARVEL framework I have used for years to build better mindset, consistency, and focus. It covers meditation, affirmations, recording, visualization, exercise, and learning. Nothing fancy. Nothing expensive. Just repeatable habits that stop mornings from spiraling.
This video touches mindset habits, morning routine structure, real estate productivity, leadership growth, daily planning, affirmations, visualization techniques, journaling, meditation benefits, focus habits, and personal growth systems.
Takeaways you will get:
Why quiet mornings beat reactive ones
How better self talk changes your decisions
A simple way to prioritize without stress
How movement resets your mood fast

Episode 764: Your Evening Routine Controls 87% of Tomorrow

I learned this the hard way. 87 percent of high performers plan their next day the night before. Not in a sexy way. Not with candles and journals. Just boring consistency that quietly wins while everyone else scrolls.
In this episode, I break down the most overlooked evening routine I have seen work again and again for real estate agents, business owners, and leaders. The moment that changed everything for me came during a live interview with a millionaire who said he had no routine. Then he casually listed the same steps he had followed for years. I sat there thinking… cool, so you do have one. You just never named it.
I walk through the PREPARE evening routine I built in 2019 and refined through real estate coaching, leadership interviews, and daily execution. It is simple, repeatable, and honestly annoying in how well it works.
I cover how evening habits shape focus, productivity, discipline, time management, leadership growth, real estate success, agent mindset, daily planning, morning routine prep, personal development, and decision making. All before you go to bed.
Takeaways you will get:
Why planning tomorrow tonight lowers stress fast
How short movement resets your brain chemistry
A smarter way to practice gratitude without the cringe
How I shut my brain off without guilt

Episode 763: Humans > Funnels: 52 Coffees a Year

Here’s a stat that might make you choke on your morning coffee: I meet with 52 past clients and send 104 handwritten notes every year. Why? Because people actually remember humans, not fancy funnels or ad spend.
I’m Tristan, I run Lab Coat Agents, a real estate business for 22 years, and now Y Realty, plus this little podcast called Your Daily Real Estate. Over the years, I discovered a simple system I call The Process, a way to focus on actionable priorities, schedule them on my calendar, and actually finish what I start. 
Here’s what you’ll take away: • How I plan client events, coffees, and handwritten notes so they actually notice me • Why spacing 52 one-on-ones throughout the year keeps relationships alive • How to make social media posts relevant instead of background noise • Turning vague goals into clear, actionable steps that get real results
Stop chasing strangers. Start connecting with humans. Comment if you’re running a similar system. Subscribe if you’re done pretending humans don’t matter.

Episode 762: Stop Chasing Leads, Start Actually Talking

Welcome to Part 2 of my purposeful prospecting series. If you missed Part 1, go binge that one first, trust me, it’s like the prequel everyone needed but nobody watched.
Yesterday, I walked you through the “five calls a day” and the “20 minutes of social engagement” steps. Today, we’re getting into numbers three, four, and five of this simple, yet shockingly effective system. Imagine doing this every day for 30 days, your business might actually start running without all the fake hustle and annoying funnel nonsense.
I’ll show you: • How one thoughtful post a day can attract the right people without begging for likes • Why meeting or engaging with one new person daily (yes, in real life or online) changes everything • How sending a handwritten note can make people feel human again, shocking, I know
This isn’t random busy work. It’s all about dopamine, human connection, and proving that the real estate business is still, believe it or not, a people business.
Comment if you’re crushing the 30-day challenge. Subscribe if you’re done wasting time on empty calls.
