• 87. Control Less, Achieve More: A Conversation With Mel Robbins and Gary Keller

  We brought together two giants—Mel Robbins and Gary Keller—to unpack what it really means to let go and build a life that matters. Mel shares her “Let Them Theory,” challenging us to stop burning energy trying to control other people’s opinions or the market. The real shift? Your happiness is tied to your own actions, not anyone else’s.Gary takes that idea and anchors it in the real estate world: you can’t control the market, your competition, or what people think of you. You can only control your own time, your lead generation, and your response to challenges. Both Mel and Gary agree—if you want a bigger business and a bigger life, let others do what they’re going to do, and focus on what’s actually in your control.And when it comes down to it, the answer is always love. Love people as they are, build your business by helping others, and remember: the only thing stopping you is giving your power away. Ready to live with more freedom and clarity? This episode is your invitation.Resources:Read The Let Them Theory by Mel RobbinsRead The Five Second Rule and The High 5 Habit by Mel RobbinsListen: 69.

• 86. Turn Single-Family Homes Into Multi-Million Dollar Developments With Hudson Santana

  Today, we’re pulling back the curtain with Hudson Santana, a powerhouse developer and agent whose team closes $150 million a year in the heart of Boston. Hudson’s journey is anything but typical. Growing up in the Amazon in Brazil, he made his way to Boston, started out bartending, and—thanks to a push from his wife—jumped into real estate. What sets Hudson apart isn’t just his volume, but also his knack for seeing potential where others see only what’s in front of them.In this episode, Hudson shares how he built his business by becoming a master of spotting hidden value in properties, diving deep into zoning, and leveraging local knowledge to unlock profit others overlook. We get tactical about how you can start thinking like a developer—no deep pockets required—and how becoming the local expert on what’s possible (not just what exists) changes the game for your business and your wealth.Hudson breaks down the systems, mindset, and everyday actions that led him from “just getting by” to building generational wealth, and how any agent can follow the same blueprint. If you’ve ever wondered how to take your real estate business from transactional to transformational, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.Resources:Santana Team – Hudson’s companyEmail Hudson at [email protected] for his free Zoom class on developmentOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 2Connect with Jason:LinkedinProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.
