Most real estate agents fall in love with the grind, but few pause to ask if it’s building real wealth. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Coby Socher, visionary CEO of Speedy Offers and longtime real estate investor in Cleveland, Ohio, who made that pivot.

Coby opens up about his early days hustling for commissions, how imposter syndrome followed his success, and the moment he realized he had the accolades, but not the assets. A single quote—“Real estate agents should be the wealthiest people on the planet, but they’re not”—sparked a complete transformation.

We walk through how Coby mapped out a 30-year, $350 million net worth plan and reverse-engineered every investment decision to support that vision. He breaks down his “Deal Hierarchy” for turning any property into a profit center—from wholesaling and wholetailing to full flips, rentals, and owner finance models—and explains why his buy box is the most powerful tool in his business.

If you’re a realtor stuck in the rat race, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about wealth, hustle, and leadership. It’s not about working harder. It’s about thinking bigger.

Mark Willis has led Keller Williams through massive growth and turbulent times—but his secret weapon isn’t strategy. It’s vision, presence, and an unshakable belief in people.

In this powerful conversation, Mark joins us to reflect on his journey from agent to Chief Leadership Officer, and the mindset shifts required to lead through change. He shares how visualizing success helped him shape Keller Williams into the largest real estate franchise by agent count in the world, and why adaptability is the cornerstone of growth.

What if your relationship with money matters more than how much of it you have?

In this episode, we’re joined by Matt Morizio, former professional baseball player turned financial advisor, business coach, and founder of Reconstructing Wealth. Matt shares how his experience in sports and entrepreneurship led him to uncover the emotional baggage many of us carry when it comes to money—and why transforming our mindset is often the key to building lasting wealth.

From homeschooling his seven children with weekly "Money Mondays" to guiding clients through major financial setbacks, Matt offers a grounded, purpose-driven approach to money that blends discipline, clarity, and service. Whether you’re just starting out or a high earner with no plan, this episode reveals why “earn more” isn’t the answer—it’s about learning to relate to money in a healthier way.

We talk about detaching from shame, teaching kids about value and earning, overcoming financial rock bottom, and why your financial plan should align with your deeper purpose. For Matt, money is never the end goal—it’s a tool for impact.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone ready to reconstruct their relationship with wealth from the inside out.

In this episode of The Color of Money, we sit down with David Zapata to unpack the misunderstood world of life insurance—and the immense financial potential hiding in whole life policies. From losing his mother in Colombia to building a financial education company in the U.S., David Zapata has lived the kind of story that redefines how we think about money, legacy, and protection.

We explore the difference between term and permanent coverage, why savings (not income) is the real problem for most Americans, and how the wealthy use whole life insurance to build liquidity, fund opportunity, and leave a legacy.

David breaks down how whole life insurance offers guaranteed growth, liquidity, and borrowing power—making it a living asset rather than just a safety net. He shares real-life examples, frameworks for savings strategy, and why most Americans are thinking about life insurance all wrong.

Whether you’re a business owner, investor, or just someone looking to build a strong financial foundation, this episode offers a crash course in rethinking risk, wealth, and what it really means to protect your future.

From Jamaica to Texas to Colorado, Natalie Davis has built a life—and a leadership legacy—by staying true to her purpose: pouring into others.

In this episode, we sit down with Natalie, the former President of the Colorado Association of Realtors, national speaker, business coach, and podcast host of Reignite Resilience, to unpack her remarkable journey. Natalie shares how her immigrant upbringing shaped her drive, how she entered real estate after avoiding it for years, and how leadership found her when she least expected it.

We hear how she navigated identity, belonging, and burnout—and what it really takes to run a brokerage versus being a successful solo agent. Natalie also opens up about her commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), and what it’s like to teach these topics in rooms that aren't always welcoming.

This episode is rich with wisdom, warmth, and truth. Get ready to rethink leadership—not as a title, but as an act of service.

Recorded live at the 2025 KW Family Reunion during the KWBREN Fest, this episode dives into the real power of real estate—building generational wealth. While commissions provide income, true financial freedom comes from ownership and control of assets. Shifting from a short-term mindset to a long-term strategy is essential for breaking systemic barriers and creating lasting wealth.

The conversation highlights personal journeys of overcoming financial setbacks, scaling businesses, and navigating an industry with few Black owners. From bouncing back after bankruptcy to flipping million-dollar homes and investing in rental properties, these stories emphasize persistence, strategy, and the importance of community. Ownership isn’t just about personal success—it’s about creating opportunities for future generations.

Wealth-building is a combination of vision, mentorship, and smart financial moves. Surrounding yourself with the right people, diversifying income streams, and employing tax strategies can turn short-term wins into long-term security. This episode offers an inspiring look at what’s possible when real estate is used as a tool not just to earn, but to build a lasting legacy.

Success in real estate isn’t about where you went to school—it’s about grit, strategy, and knowing how to take action. In this episode of The Color of Money, we sit down with Jonathan Miller, the CEO and founder of Miller Capital Group, a real estate investment company based in Atlanta. Jonathan has built an impressive portfolio of 157 multifamily units in just five years, using a conservative, strategic approach to acquisitions and property management.

Jonathan’s journey is anything but conventional. From growing up in Chicago to earning degrees from Stanford and Harvard Business School, he climbed the corporate ladder at companies like Facebook, Meta, American Express, and The Boston Consulting Group—but it was the pandemic that changed everything. Realizing the potential of real estate as a vehicle for generational wealth, he took the leap and started investing while still working his full-time job.

What does it mean to build a legacy—not just for yourself, but for an entire community? In this special episode, we turn the spotlight on our very own Emerick Peace, a leader, mentor, and the "patriarch of Black real estate." Affectionately known as "Unc," Emerick has shaped the landscape of real estate with a deep commitment to excellence, collaboration, and community.

He shares his journey from West Baltimore to the Air Force to founding the largest Black-owned real estate office in the country. We discuss leadership, mentorship, and the challenges of building something bigger than yourself—plus, a glimpse into his next mission: coaching others to overcome the personal and professional barriers holding them back.
