What happens when your first day in real estate becomes one of the most tragic days in American history — and your life is shaken to its core just two years later?

In this unforgettable episode of R.E.A.L. Real Estate Agent Life, we sit down with John Tiller, founder of F4 Realty brokered by Real, motivational speaker, team leader, and the heart behind Tiller Family Ministries. John pulls back the curtain on his journey from banking to real estate, building a 500+ transaction mega team, and how the near-death experience of his son Eli forever shaped his mission, mindset, and leadership.

We dive deep into:

• The early coaching investments that transformed John’s trajectory
• Why most teams are “sweatshops” and how to build real career paths instead
• What faith, family, and leadership really look like after your world is flipped upside down
• Why giving it all away is the most powerful leadership tool you’ll ever use
• How building wealth the right way empowers you to serve others in times of crisis

Whether you’re a team leader, a solo agent, or someone navigating the storms of life—this episode is raw, real, and filled with the kind of wisdom only adversity can teach.

👉 If you’ve ever questioned what truly matters in this business and beyond… you need to hear John’s story.

🎧 Listen, take notes, and be ready to shift your perspective.

Unlocking Legacy, Sobriety & 1,000 Deals: The Real Estate Life of Steve Valentine

Guest: Steve Valentine | Phoenix, AZ | @SteveDValentine

💥 From flipping 1,000 homes to flipping his life, Steve Valentine drops jaw-dropping wisdom on real estate, relationships, rehab, and real ROI.

In this powerful and wildly transparent episode, Shane and Duane sit down with Arizona real estate titan Steve Valentine, who’s spent over 26 years in the game — and learned how to play it his way.

Steve’s story is part real estate brilliance, part personal reckoning — and all heart. From losing his father (a top-producing agent who died owning zero property) to flipping the script on his own life and going all in on sobriety, Steve gets brutally honest about what it takes to build a legacy that lasts — in business and in life.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

💡 How Steve and his wife flipped & acquired 1,000+ properties — and kept 120+

🧠 Why “buying boxes” and solving bigger problems leads to bigger profits

🤯 How Steve turned a hoarder house with a $280K IRS lien into a $225K win-win with seller financing

🔥 How his wife’s general contracting biz now leads $500K+ renos — and how they work side by side without losing their minds

🚫 Why “no more pets” (aka bad deals/clients) is Steve’s 2024 motto

🛠️ What The Garage is and how it’s reshaping real estate community and investment in Phoenix

🧘‍♂️ Why October 2, 2023 changed his life — and what rehab taught him that real estate never could

👏 How self-awareness became Steve’s greatest success

🙏 His mission to help other agents battle addiction, burnout, and the pressure to be perfect

In this episode of The R.E.A.L. Podcast, we sit down with Parker Gailey, VP of Sales & Expansion at Gailey Enterprises Real Estate. Despite coming from a powerhouse real estate family, Parker chose to forge his own path in a market where he knew NO ONE.

✔️ How Parker went from zero connections to leading a 20+ agent team in a competitive market

✔️ The gut-wrenching moment when nearly his entire team left—and how he rebuilt stronger than ever

✔️ Why fear kills more dreams than failure ever will—and how to flip fear into fuel

✔️ The mindset shifts and competitive edge that separate elite agents from the average

✔️ Why AI and automation will never replace the human element of real estate

✔️ The power of grit, resilience, and taking action (even when it’s uncomfortable)

🚀 If you’re an agent struggling with fear, inconsistency, or market shifts, this episode is your wake-up call. Parker’s story proves that success isn’t about where you start—it’s about the moves you make when things get tough.
