Empire Building

Ever wonder how you could serve 250+ buyers in a year and still make it home for dinner? We sit down with top buyer’s agent and sales leader Kari Wyrsch to unpack exactly how she does it. Kari shares the team-within-a-team model that skyrocketed production after merging with the Adam Graddy Real Estate Team, the simple tracking that tells you whether to fix a skill or a system, and the “be where your feet are” calendar discipline that keeps family first.You’ll learn how to design roles (showing partners, split TC lanes) for speed and quality, why your day should start the day before, and how to protect your 20% so negotiations and client outcomes don’t slip. We also talk about real home leverage—nannies, cleaners, grocery runs—and the mindset tools that help you turn off work and turn on presence (hot yoga, breathwork, and gratitude). If you’re scaling fast and want a life you love, this playbook shows what’s possible.Resources:Read Breathing for WarriorsHer Best LifeMAPS CoachingFollow Kari Wyrsch on Instagram: @kariwyrschConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

This discussion dives into the uncomfortable world of money and wealth-building. It reveals six key obstacles that hinder financial growth, like ignoring debt, failing to track spending, and letting fear stall progress. Emotional attachments to investments are also explored, highlighting their impact on decision-making. The hosts emphasize that wealth accumulation is a result of consistent small actions rather than flashy moves. Community accountability is presented as a powerful tool to drive financial change.

Permission is a loaded word—especially for high-achieving women. In this conversation, we get honest about the invisible expectations we carry at home and at work, and how guilt and shame show up when we try to do it all. We talk about naming those expectations (“Who said you have to do it—and that way?”), asking for help without apology, and defining success by season. Sometimes winning is crushing it at work with leverage at home; sometimes it’s rearranging hours to be present with your people. Either way, we get to choose what success looks like and model that choice for our families.We also share practical shifts that created joy: letting kids own age-appropriate tasks, reframing “shoulds” like school drop-offs into connection time, and building a circle of support to remind us what we can say “no” to. If this resonates, share it with a woman who needs permission to redefine success on her own terms—and if you’re craving that kind of community and coaching, we’d love to connect about Empire Circle.Resources:Check out Her Best LifeLearn more about Empire CircleConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Today’s buyers are cautious and well-informed, which means our role is to lead with clarity from the start. In this episode, we share practical ways to set expectations before a showing—doing the homework with the listing agent, previewing the neighborhood, and arriving prepared with disclosures, comps, and HOA info so clients can validate what they’ve already researched.During showings, we keep it simple: use ranking systems like A/B/C or 1–10, give buyers permission to walk out of a “C,” and build trust by pointing out both wins and potential resale red flags. We also protect negotiations by saving strategy talk for the car (those doorbell cameras are everywhere), keep momentum by scheduling the next step, and close with confidence so clients feel great about their decision.Resources:Check out Her Best LifeLearn more about Empire CircleConnect on Instagram:Seychelle Van Poole: @seychellevpSarah Reynolds: @sarahreynoldsojiWendy Papasan: @wendypapasanKymber Lovett-Menkiti: @kymbermenkitiTiffany Fykes: @tiffanyfykesProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Today’s buyers aren’t rushing, feeling FOMO, or scrambling to beat the market—they’re facing more options, more uncertainty, and more hesitation than we’ve seen in years. Decision fatigue, interest rate weariness, and information overload are shaping how they think and act, and if you’re still treating them like the buyers of 2020, you’re already behind.In this episode, we break down today’s buyer mindset and share the questions that build trust, uncover true priorities, and move clients from hesitation to clarity, without feeling pushy. We also cover the surprises that can derail motivation and how to set expectations early so you can lead the process instead of following it.Resources:Episode 171.
