Guest: Spencer Argueta

In this high-energy and refreshingly honest episode, Kyle and Brian sit down with Spencer Argueta to talk about the unpredictable (and often hilarious) daily life of a real estate agent. From getting locked on balconies in a skirt to breaking basement doors with a shoulder-check, the crew shares the kinds of real-world stories that only agents truly understand.

But beneath the humor is a deeper conversation about systems, lead generation, motherhood, and the sacrifices required to build a real estate business from scratch.

Spencer opens up about starting her career with three young kids, no family nearby, and a husband working seven days a week. She breaks down how she built a thriving business anyway—using organization, adaptability, and total commitment.

Then the conversation shifts into lead sources, including Zillow, pay-per-click, sphere building, and the massive downstream value of doing great work for one client. The team also discusses the difference between spending money to save time vs. spending time to save money, and what new agents should realistically expect when entering the industry.

The episode finishes with a look at 75 Hard, micro-habits, discipline, and why sustainable lifestyle changes matter far more than 75 days of intensity.

This one is funny, heartfelt, tactical, and deeply motivating.

1. Why real estate is unpredictable—and why that’s part of the fun
2. The daily chaos agents walk into during showings
3. The importance of systems when you’re building a career with limited time
4. How Spencer successfully worked with three kids in tow
5. Why clients rarely care if your kids come with you—if you show up well
6. The long-term value of online leads beyond the first transaction
7. How to choose between time vs. money when growing your business
8. Why working leads is about relationships, not just conversion
9. How to start 75 Hard the smart way by implementing micro-habits early
10. Why 2024 feels like a breakthrough year for the Elevate team

Guest: Chad Klamen

In this systems-focused episode of Elevate and Execute, Kyle and Brian sit down with real estate investor and operator Chad Klamen to break down what it really takes to scale a rental portfolio the right way.

Chad walks through the behind-the-scenes systems he uses to manage over 150 rental units efficiently — from self-guided showings and tenant screening to standardized rehabs and streamlined move-out processes. The conversation dives deep into why systems beat hustle, how time savings outweigh occasional risk, and why treating rentals like a business (not a hobby) is the key to long-term profitability.

This episode is packed with practical, repeatable ideas for investors who want scale without chaos.

1. How Chad runs self-guided showings safely and efficiently
2. Why strong pre-screening protects both landlords and tenants
3. The systems behind smooth move-ins and move-outs
4. How standardizing cabinets, flooring, and finishes saves time and money
5. Why staging rental properties can increase rent and reduce vacancy
6. The real cost of cheap rehabs and constant maintenance
7. How tenant satisfaction directly impacts profitability

9. How to think about scaling property management without burning out
