In this Reside Platform episode, Mie and Brooke reveal the truth real estate leaders often overlook: your operations team isn’t just admin — they’re the engine that drives sustainable growth. If you want to scale your team’s recruiting, production, and retention without letting agents slip through the cracks, this is the blueprint. Mie and Brooke unpack exactly how ops leaders build repeatable recruiting pipelines, track daily production metrics, and design retention check-ins that keep agents loyal for the long haul. Get ready to rethink what your ops team is truly capable of — and walk away with small moves you can apply immediately to create momentum and freedom.

The Fast Food Cycle That’s Sabotaging Your Success with Shannon Cheplak

Suneet sits down with Shannon Cheplak, elite fitness coach and nutrition expert who specializes in transforming real estate professionals. Shannon breaks down why 99% of her clients are from the real estate and mortgage industry, revealing the unique health challenges agents face—from skipping breakfast to run to showings, eating fast food between appointments, and falling into the “all-in or nothing” mentality that sabotages success. She shares her proven 3-day-per-week strength training system, the game-changing protein formula (0.8-1 gram per pound of bodyweight), and why meal prep is the single most important factor for results. Shannon also tackles common fitness myths, explains why women won’t “accidentally get jacked,” discusses the critical importance of fiber for longevity, and reveals how improving your health directly correlates to increased income. Whether you’re a new agent struggling with structure or a top producer looking to optimize performance, Shannon delivers actionable strategies to build sustainable habits that will transform both your body and your business. This episode proves that taking care of your health isn’t just about looking good—it’s about making more money, having better relationships, and building the energy to dominate your market.

The Agent Who Quit Selling 100 Homes to Build Something Better with Brandi Fugate

Brandi Fugate built Private Label Real Estate by doing the impossible—she walked away from selling 100 homes a year to become a full-time broker and team leader. In this episode, Brandi shares her journey from mortgage lending to real estate, how she scaled her indie brokerage by 370% in one year through relentless recruiting, and the systems that allow her to be home by 3 PM every day while her team projects 500 transactions for 2026. She reveals her playbook for working online leads (especially realtor.com and Zillow), why LP MAMA is superior to quick ALM calls, how she onboards new agents in just five days with “Hello Week,” and why spoiling agents with white-glove support is her competitive advantage. Brandi also opens up about caring for her 97-year-old grandmother with dementia and how building a business that supports life—not consumes it—became her mission. If you’re a producing agent wondering how to scale without burning out, or a broker looking for a recruiting and systems blueprint, this episode is pure gold.
