On RE:Invest Podcast #154, Garrett and Seth talk with Doug Phillips about dominating as a Realtor while running a high-level real estate business. From tax liens to buy-and-hold investing, Doug shares a decade of experience, leadership lessons, and how top agents scale with intention, systems, and mindset in today’s competitive market.

Dedicate at least one focused day (or block of time) to learning. Small investments in knowledge compound into big results.
