"Most success comes from doing the boring things well—here’s how to stick with them."

We’ve all chased shiny shortcuts, only to realize the real magic happens in the daily grind. This episode cracks open the unsexy habits that separate dreamers from doers—like cold-calling when no one’s watching, underwriting deals that won’t close for months, or waking up early not because it’s trendy, but because it aligns with your North Star.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ Why "1% better every day" fails if you’re measuring the wrong metrics
✅ How mundane habits (like tracking load boards or underwriting 5 deals daily) compound into life-changing results
✅ The counterintuitive link between specialization and freedom (hint: stop trying to do everything)
✅ What Kobe Bryant and trucking dispatchers have in common—and why systems beat motivation every time

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the "middle grind" of business or life, this is your reminder: the long way is the shortcut.

What if your North Star was so clear that every decision—career, family, even a risky move to a new city—aligned with it?

In this episode, we sit down with Spencer, a commercial real estate developer and co-founder of Oak Multifamily Brokerage, who turned a leap of faith (and a 90-day South American adventure) into a blueprint for building freedom—both financially and creatively.

📌 Key Topics:
✅ From Journalism to Skyscrapers – How a degree in journalism led to cold-calling Omaha’s real estate scene—and why "no" became fuel.
✅ The Four Buckets Rule – Creativity, wealth, community impact, and family flexibility—the non-negotiables behind every deal.
✅ Why Omaha? – The moment a downtown office view revealed a city ripe for reinvention (and why grain silos are now luxury apartments).
✅ Brokerage Boot Camp – Lessons from $0 commission years: integrity pays, bad partners cost, and how to turn coffee meetings into a $230M pipeline.
✅ The Silos Project – How a walk along a neglected trail sparked a 230-unit development—and the mindset shift required to ignore the "just sell it" noise.
✅ Raising Future Builders – Why his kids already know the word "skyscraper"—and how to instill a "no limits" work ethic without burning out.

Freedom, to Spencer, isn’t passive income—it’s the resources to act on any idea and the flexibility to chase adventures with his family. If you’ve ever felt behind or doubted your pivot, this conversation is proof: urgency + aligned action = momentum.

Listen now—then ask yourself: What’s your North Star?

✅ The danger of tying your identity to achievements (and what to anchor it to instead)

✅ "Fake it till you make it" vs. becoming your future self through daily action

✅ How to merge faith, family, and work—without compartmentalizing your life
