Mindset. Belief. Action.

In this powerful solo episode of The Growth Mindset Podcast, hosts Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle dive into one of the most important drivers of success — belief.

If you can believe it… you can achieve it. Sounds simple, right? But belief isn’t just positive thinking. It’s the foundation for taking action, pushing through setbacks, and staying focused when things get tough.

In this episode, Adam and Rick share:

• 💡 Why belief is the starting point for growth
• 🧠 How mindset directly impacts success in business, real estate, and life
• 🚀 Real-world stories from the mortgage and real estate trenches
• 🏡 How belief helps first-time buyers, investors, and professionals move forward with confidence

Whether you’re buying your first home, growing a real estate business, or leveling up personally, this episode will challenge you to think bigger, act bolder, and trust the process.

Sometimes the only thing standing between where you are and where you want to be… is believing it’s possible.

Welcome to Episode 29 of The Growth Mindset Podcast with your hosts Adam Crosley and Rick Riddle — two powerhouse mortgage pros who mix high-level strategy with real talk and a touch of humor.

In this solo episode, Rick and Adam dive into one of the most overlooked drivers of success (or sabotage): the voice in your head.

Is your internal monologue pumping you up or tearing you down?

Does it sound like your old boss, your high school coach, or that one friend who’s always "just being honest"?

Most importantly — is that voice helping or hurting your business?

This episode is a must-listen for mortgage pros, real estate agents, and entrepreneurs who find themselves battling self-doubt, perfectionism, or impostor syndrome. You’ll learn:

• Why mindset isn’t just a buzzword — it’s your secret weapon.
• How to identify toxic self-talk and replace it with productive inner dialogue.
• Tools to “hire a better voice” in your head that builds confidence, resilience, and results.

Whether you're closing deals, leading a team, or just trying to make it through Monday — your internal voice is either your greatest ally or your worst enemy. Let’s fix that.

Welcome to The Growth Mindset Podcast hosted by Rick Riddle and Adam Crosley, where we explore the tools, tactics, and mindsets that drive success in real estate and mortgage lending.

In this futuristic and fascinating episode, Rick and Adam sit down for a conversation with Kala—an AI bot! That’s right. No guest company. No awkward coffee orders. Just pure tech talk with a digital mind.

Together, they explore what it’s like to interview artificial intelligence, the future of automation in mortgage and real estate, and what AI can (and can't) do for consumers and professionals in the industry.

Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a curious agent, or just wondering if a bot can beat you at sales—this episode is equal parts informative and entertaining.

👾 Spoiler: Kala might be smarter than all of us... but she still can't do a home inspection.

📌 Episode Highlights:

• What AI like Kala can teach us about mortgage and real estate
• The role of automation in client communication
• How to stay human in a digital age
• Why bots won’t replace loan officers anytime soon
