In this episode of the HyperFast Agent Growth Show, Dan Lesniak and Keri Shull break down a practical framework for turning goals into an executable schedule — not just intentions, affirmations, or vision-board thinking.

Rather than talking about goal-setting in the abstract, Dan and Keri focus on the missing middle: how most people know what they want, but fail to translate that into what their calendar actually looks like.

The conversation centers on how to reverse-engineer goals into time blocks, why vague goals create avoidance, and how disciplined scheduling creates momentum — even when motivation is low.

Topics covered:

• Why most goals fail at the execution stage
• The difference between wanting something and allocating time to it
• Turning annual goals into weekly and daily actions
• How to audit your calendar for alignment with priorities
• Why scheduling removes decision fatigue
• The role of consistency over intensity
• How couples / partners align goals without friction
• Why unscheduled goals quietly become stress

This episode is designed for agents and entrepreneurs who want less mental load and more follow-through — by letting their calendar do the work.

Welcome to the first panel episode of 2026 on the HyperFast Agent Growth Show with Dan Lesniak, joined by James Buckley, Nick Bush, and Karl Svendsen.

This episode is a fast-moving market conversation covering what’s actually worth paying attention to right now — from Google’s move toward home listings in search (and what that could mean for Zillow/portals), to surprising homeowner data (how many homes are owned without a mortgage), to fresh discussion on the mortgage “rate lock-in” narrative and whether it’s really the driver of low transaction volume.

The panel also reacts to a new political headline about restricting institutional investors from buying single-family homes, and closes with an actionable rapid-fire: one thing agents should do in 2026 to improve results.

Topics covered:

• Google “entering the portal war” and how it could impact Zillow
• Consumer behavior vs agent behavior: where the real portal power sits
• How monetization/ad spend and distribution shape the portal landscape
• Stats on homes owned free & clear (no mortgage) and why it matters
• The mortgage rate “lock-in” effect: what’s real vs what’s overstated
• Investors/institutions: how much do they actually move the needle?
• Brokerage ranking data: transaction sides + productivity metrics (PPP)
• Franchise nuance (why certain brokerages don’t show up as one entity)
• Market consolidation talk + merger process commentary
• Rapid-fire: what agents should focus on in 2026

This is the last episode of 2025, and we’re starting a new series: HyperFast Vault episodes—pulling standout interviews from our original run of 600+ episodes.

For our first Vault episode, we’re rewinding to one of our earliest interviews with Grant Cardone, Keri Shull and Dan Lesniak, recorded in preparation for the first HyperFast Agent event. Dan shares two big takeaways heading into 2026:

1. Commit first, figure out the how later.
   
   
2. Best known beats best — the winners are often the ones who market and build brand awareness the fastest.

In the interview, Grant breaks down how he thinks about mentors, sales, building certainty with clients, recruiting to scale, and why he believes people should work for money (so they can fund bigger purpose and impact).

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How Grant “uses mentors” by studying top performers deeply—often from a distance
  
  
• Why most people have too many mentors (and how to choose the right ones)
  
  
• Why real estate agents must embrace being in sales and master negotiation
  
  
• How to create certainty for buyers and sellers in an emotional, high-stakes transaction
  
  
• Why events and masterminds accelerate growth (and why “free” doesn’t create commitment)
  
  
• Grant’s advice for new agents: avoid average, study the top of the food chain
  
  
• Grant’s advice for scaling: recruit, lead, and keep learning
  
  
• Handling self-doubt: Grant’s approach is simple—keep showing up
  
  
• “Do what you love” vs “work for money”: Grant’s blunt take on why money matters

Dan and Keri close with additional lessons on mentorship—especially in real estate—like doing diligence on coaches and going deep on the people who are actually producing results.
