010 Ryan Rodenbeck and John McCarthy on Leadership Structure

Episode 010 of Real Estate Team OS features Ryan Rodenbeck and John McCarthy of Spyglass Realty in Austin, Texas.

Ryan’s the Founder, Broker, and CEO. John joined him as an agent and became Sales Manager.

Learn what Ryan built that attracted John to the team and the growth and opportunity that created the need for formal sales leadership.

Watch or listen for insights into:
- John’s appearance on a house flipping show 15 years ago
- The role a formal leadership structure plays as foundation of a scaling business
- How and why Spyglass started (spoiler: it wasn’t to build a team - it was for Ryan as a solo agent)
- Why the team model was “exactly” what John needed in his transition back to Texas, allowing him to “plug right in” and “build from there” rather than build his real estate business from scratch
- Pro tips for naming your team or brokerage (especially if you’re not naming it after yourself)
- The two types of agents on the team and the drive to make them all more independent over time
- The risks and opportunities for Spyglass and for John in his stepping into the Sales Manager role
- Why agents have to trust and follow the process - and how they benefit over the long term by being trained into it in the short term
- Specific topics you can train your agents on today
- The good, bad, ugly, and necessity of implementing a system like EOS - “the biggest thing (they’ve) ever done with (their) brokerage to make (them) more nimble and more efficient”

At the end, learn about a team enjoying a 25-year reunion, a beloved and frivolous purchase, the benefit of immersive experiences, and the need to shut down your brain.
