Suneet sits down with his longtime friend and industry powerhouse Barry Jenkins for a raw, insightful, and entertaining conversation about real estate, leadership, and personal growth. With 26 years in the business, an 80-agent team, and a bestselling book, Barry shares what actually moves the needle in sales, why agents are throwing away perfectly good leads, and how being "too nice" is holding them back. They also dive into AI’s impact on real estate, the importance of mindset shifts, and why Barry's fitness journey completely transformed his approach to business. Of course, there’s no shortage of laughs, storytelling, and the kind of brutally honest insights that make this episode a must-listen for anyone in real estate, sales, or leadership.
