What happens when a former logistics expert burns out on corporate America and sets his sights on real estate? You get Eric Meldrum—a team leader, content creator, and visionary who turned YouTube videos into a multi-state lead magnet.

In this episode, Eric joins Shane and Duane to share:

• How he went from startup life and SaaS dreams to real estate success in Michigan and Florida
• The secrets behind his evergreen YouTube strategy that drives millions in production
• The mindset shift that helped him let go of control and build a real business, not just a job
• Lessons from Beats by Dre’s former VP of Ops and why being vulnerable matters more than acting like you have it all figured out

Plus: The conversation gets real on time freedom, team-building, subculture recruiting, ChatGPT referrals (!), and how a single video from two years ago keeps pulling in $30K–$60K commission opportunities.

If you’re tired of chasing and ready to attract, this one’s for you.

Guntersville native. Lakefront expert. 600+ transactions.

In this episode, we sit down with Rusty Glines, a top-producing Alabama agent who turned a factory job into a lakefront real estate empire. Rusty shares how a copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad sparked a total career reinvention—and how he built a brand of results rooted in faith, family, and work ethic.

We cover:

• His leap from manufacturing to real estate success
• Why he walked away from brokerage ownership (and how it changed his life)
• The difference between volume and value
• His biggest failure (and the system that could’ve saved him)
• How he defines success after 600+ closings

If you’ve ever thought about going all-in on real estate—or taking a step back to do more of what you love—this is the episode you’ve been waiting for.

What happens when a powerhouse agent accidentally stumbles into real estate… and ends up building a legacy?

In this raw and refreshing episode of the R.E.A.L. Real Estate Agent Life Podcast, Liz Power opens up about what most won’t: the burnout, the emotional battles, the costly mistakes—and how she turned it all into a coaching empire rooted in mentorship, education, and emotional regulation.

If you’ve ever questioned the grind, struggled to find balance, or wondered if you’re truly cut out for this business… this episode is your mirror. Liz dives deep into:

• The surprising way she got into real estate
• How she learned to set boundaries without guilt
• Why emotional intelligence is more valuable than leads
• The real definition of success (hint: it’s not the money)
• How to build your business around positions, not people
• Why mentorship changes everything

This one is for the agents who want more than just another sale—it’s for those chasing meaning, growth, and alignment.
