#36: Top-100 Tulsa realtor Taylor Bay joins Madi (with a cameo from Henry) to talk mindset, strategy, and sustainable success in a saturated market. Taylor shares how service, clear communication, staging details, and consistency built her business over 10 years—while balancing life as a working mom. We get into: guarding your energy, moving on from setbacks, showing up professionally (inside and out), time-blocking for family, the 10,000-hour reality behind “overnight success,” and why a servant’s heart wins more than hustle alone.

Beyond the headlines, we get practical: cutting the noise in a crowded space, pre-framing expectations with clients, simple staging wins that move listings faster, and what “professional energy” looks like day to day. Taylor opens up about starting from zero, riding market cycles without burning out, and the small systems—follow-up rhythms, daily prep, and family-first time blocks—that compound over a decade. Whether you’re in real estate or any service business, you’ll leave with mindset shifts, tactical takeaways, and a reminder that excellence and kindness are a winning strategy.
