Do you miss the past, or the way life felt back then?

From video stores and Saturday morning cartoons to MSN Messenger and the music we grew up with, some memories bring happiness and a little heartache in equal measure.

In this episode of Listed & Living, Michael Carter reflects on his love for the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s, how Stranger Things brought those feelings rushing back, and what nostalgia can teach us about enjoying life today.

We explore the magic of ordinary moments, being present without constantly documenting everything, and making room for the curiosity and connection we loved growing up.

Because what if these are the good old days, and we just haven’t realised it yet?

When you hear “minimalism”, do you picture an empty house, white walls and getting rid of everything you own?

In this episode of Listed & Living, I share a different approach: simplifying everyday life to create more time, energy and attention for the things that matter.

From the clothes I wear and the meals I eat to exercise, phone notifications, relationships and an overflowing calendar, I explore how small changes can take some of the unnecessary thinking and organising out of your day.

Because you can have a tidy home and still have a very cluttered life.

This is a practical conversation about simple living, intentional habits and finding routines that work for you, with plenty of room for spontaneity, dinners out and enjoying yourself along the way.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted or tired of making the same decisions every day, this episode offers a place to start.

What’s one part of tomorrow you could make a little easier?

Starting a career in real estate is exciting, until the calls go unanswered, the leads don’t turn into listings, and you start wondering whether you’re cut out for it.

So, what should you actually focus on to give yourself the best chance of success?

In this episode of Listed & Living, Michael Carter brings together two conversations about building a real estate career: what to know and expect in your first 120 days, and the lessons from Ryan Serhant’s book, Sell It Like Serhant, that helped shape his own career.

We explore navigating the early days, setting realistic expectations, building consistent prospecting and follow-up habits, and staying committed when the results haven’t caught up with the effort.

Whether you’re a new real estate agent, considering a career in property, or an established agent looking to regain momentum, this episode will help you think more clearly about where to put your time and energy.

Your first 120 days are just the beginning. Make them count.
