What does it really take to build a thriving business and lasting wealth—on your own terms? We sit down with Kito Smith, a standout in the San Antonio real estate scene, to explore what it means to build wealth—and a business—by design. Kito’s unwavering commitment to his “why” has shaped his approach to real estate, leadership, and life, driving his success as both a top-producing agent and a mentor within his community.

In this conversation, we dive into the discipline behind Kito’s daily routines, from his 600+ days alcohol-free to his structured approach to time management and delegation. We unpack how embracing health, therapy, and self-care has transformed not only his business but also his mindset. Kito shares creative strategies for building community and promoting homeownership, including unique events like “Ribs and Tips” that bring real estate education directly to the people.

Through mentorship, purposeful action, and a commitment to giving back, Kito shows how self-confidence and clarity of purpose can lead to both personal and professional freedom. This episode is a practical guide to living—and building wealth—with intention.
