109. Redefining Wealth: The Six Pillars That Change Everything with Patrice Washington

What if the real drivers of wealth aren’t budgets and spreadsheets, but mindset, habits, and the spaces we live in? In this episode, Julia, Daniel, and Emerick sit down with Patrice Washington—author, coach, and founder of Redefining Wealth®—to explore the Six Pillars of Wealth and the psychology that shapes our financial lives.Patrice shares her rise in real estate, the 2007 collapse that forced her to start over, and how surrender and radical honesty reshaped her path. We talk about the biases that keep people stuck, why high achievers often neglect their health and financial planning, and how clearing clutter in our relationships, spaces, and beliefs opens the door to better money outcomes.Patrice explains each pillar—Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, and Money—showing how they intersect to protect vision and create freedom. She reminds us not to weaponize today’s wisdom against our past selves, to choose from faith instead of fear, and to let joy be both the standard and the currency for our decisions.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyLearn more about Patrice’s work at patricewashington.comListen to the Redefining Wealth PodcastPillar MasteryBecome a real estate agent HEREThis episode is brought to you by HomeTeam Inspection Service.When you partner with HomeTeam, you’re getting more than a home inspection—you’re delivering The HomeTeam Experience. With a team approach, fast turnarounds, and package options that include home inspection warranties, HomeTeam helps real estate pros stand out.

108. Live from Mega Agent Camp: Seasons, Transitions, and Legacy

Fall may be arriving slowly in San Antonio, but change is in the air. Recorded live at Mega Camp, this episode explores the seasons of business and life—the times to plant, prune, and harvest, and the challenge of closing one chapter while stepping into the next.We dive into the emotional duality of transitions, the “inside game” of self-awareness and growth, and how to hold both pride and grief when roles shift. Along the way, we reflect on lessons that compound over time, the danger of comparing your insides to others’ outsides, and the legacy created when representation and resilience intersect.The invitation is simple: embrace the season you’re in. See the joy, allow the grief, and carry forward the lessons.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

107. What Can You Really Build? Zoning, AI, and the Power of Clarity with Whitney Blanco

What if the most powerful tool in real estate wasn’t a bulldozer or a checkbook—but a clear, fast answer to “What can I really build on this land?”We sit down with Whitney Blanco, founder and CEO of Acreage AI, to explore how AI turns zoning, policy, comps, infrastructure plans, and even public sentiment into an actionable feasibility playbook. A former civil engineer and global public-health strategist, Whitney calls herself “a humanitarian who does real estate,” and shows how clarity up front prevents costly, infeasible plans down the line.We dig into building a company the scrappy way—selling useful reports, iterating with customers, and proving value before seeking capital—while confronting the funding gap women (and especially Black women) face. Along the way, we rethink due diligence: fewer blind spots, faster timelines, and better decisions without replacing expert judgment. If you’ve ever wondered what your land can really support—and how to get from maybe to go—this conversation delivers.Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyFollow Acreage on LinkedIn and find out more on Acreage.EarthConnect with Whitney on LinkedInBecome a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.
