    Episode 314: Four Year Anniversary Special

    23/07/2026 | 1h 37 mins.
    Four Years, 313 Conversations, and the Lessons That Actually Matter
    This week marks four years of Opening the Gates To More Listings, and to celebrate, I'm doing something a bit different. No guest this time, just me, looking back at everything this podcast has taught me and, hopefully, taught you too.
    I've pulled together the threads that keep showing up conversation after conversation. Why boring, consistent work beats every shiny new tactic. Why fee conversations are almost always a value problem in disguise. Why the database sat in your CRM right now is probably your biggest untapped opportunity. And why being known matters more than being brilliant.
    I'll also share some of the moments that stopped me in my tracks, the guests who opened up about things far bigger than business, and a bit of my own journey too, from recording nervously in the garden to where we are now.
    It's part reflection, part reminder, and part thank you to everyone who's listened, shared, and stuck with the show since day one. Here's to the next four years and 300 episodes.
