This one’s a little more personal.

In this episode, I sit down with my girlfriend, Courtney Rufh, for an honest conversation about real estate, growth, creativity, and mental health — both in business and in life.

We talk about how Courtney first got into real estate and the role her brother Matthew played in bringing her into the industry. We break down why December turned into one of her busiest months of the year, and what that says about momentum, consistency, and showing up when most people mentally check out.

We also dive into our recent move into a new home — the excitement, the stress, and the reality that even “good stress” can take a toll. Courtney shares her passion for interior design, how she approaches spaces differently, and why creating a home that feels right matters just as much as the numbers on paper.

To wrap it up, we get real about mental health — the importance of having a therapist, removing the stigma around asking for help, and why taking care of your mind is just as important as growing your career.

This episode is relaxed, honest, and full of real-life perspective — whether you’re in real estate, navigating a big life change, or just trying to keep your head on straight while building something meaningful.
