Jake Luehrs is in the spotlight this week. Jake is a real estate coach and trainer, and in this episode, he opens up about the challenges he faced in his early life and career.
Jake takes us through his struggles with depression and anxiety. He shares how he worked through those challenges and offers some advice for listeners going through similar experiences.
"The more I pushed it away, the more intense it got."
Jake believes that everyone goes through periods of depression and anxiety at some point in their lives and that letting those feelings work themselves through rather than resisting them is essential.
"I think the biggest challenge that people have is they feel like they need to do it on their own. And I think that that's where we get ourselves into trouble."
Apart from his journey, Jake also talked about his love for sports and how it helped him become more social and make friends. And, of course, his unique story of meeting his wife in college.
"I try to be just as much a listener as a talker. And I think that's been a big part of my success, both personally and professionally."
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration to overcome personal challenges.

Ep 56: John Hodnett's Journey: Turning a Wake-Up Call into a New Opportunity
This week William and Sarah Huffman sit down with John Hodnett, a member of their real estate team, A Good Life Group.
In this episode, John chats about his journey before getting into real estate and how much he loves old-school retail. But the big wake-up call was when his marriage fell apart. He never thought he'd be there at that point in his life. That's when he realized that he had the chance to create anything he wanted. Nobody was going to tell him what to do. So, like his dad, who retired from the clothing biz and started a consulting company until he was 93, John knew he couldn't quit. He needed to find something he could do for as long as he wanted in any way he wanted. And that's why he's back in real estate.
