This week, you’ve got two episodes in one! Both were recorded live on stage at Unlock by Zillow in November 2025. The first half takes you inside The Nickley Group in Florida and the second half takes you inside HomeTeam4U in Wisconsin.
TOM AND ALEXIS NICKLEY

Learn two key roles, four core values, and three things they’re focused on in the year ahead!
Watch or listen for insights from Alexis and Tom on:
- A bold decision to leave sales production
- The division of labor between husband-and-wife, co-team leaders
- Why their recruiter’s job is so challenging
- The purpose and role of the Director of Culture and Engagement (and specific tactics you can take for yourself)
