In this episode of Run The Plays, Edrise Bayo breaks down how it all started.

From aviation technician…
To landscape construction…
To now, one year in the business.

We discuss:
• Why this is a contact sport
• Making 80+ dials a day
• Meeting 80+ Realtors in year one
• Trusting the process (even when it feels repetitive)
• The discipline behind delayed gratification

No shortcuts. No entitlement. Just reps.

If you’re building something from scratch, this one will hit.
