Intro

Kyle Whissel doesn't just lead one of the top real estate teams in the country—he's redefined what's possible with structure, systems, and relentless clarity.

In this episode, James and Keith dive deep with the CEO of Whissel Realty Group (now Whissel Beer Group) to talk about everything from EOS and business operating systems to letting go of control, finding balance, and why agents are already part of a team (even if they don't know it).

If you're still clinging to every task or unsure how to scale without burning out, this one's a game-changer.
