The Practical Way To Use AI Without Losing The Human Touch Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

AI is updating at a pace most of us have never had to keep up with, and that speed is exactly why so many smart people feel overwhelmed or suspicious. We sit down with Saiid Zamani, an AI trainer and active real estate agent, to make it simple, practical, and real. Our goal is not to hype the tech or fear-monger about robots. We want to show how AI actually fits into everyday work and where the “human advantage” still wins every time.
We talk about what AI is already changing, from toll booths disappearing to the way buyers search for homes on platforms like Homes.com, Zillow, and Redfin. Saiid explains why AI may replace certain tasks, but it does not replace trust, emotional intelligence, and the ability to read the room, which is the core of real estate and most relationship-driven businesses. We also break down how agents and small business owners can use AI to follow up faster, write clearer messages, and deliver more value without building a giant team.
Then we get hands-on with tools: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Google NotebookLM. Saiid shares how he uses AI as a “thought partner,” including voice conversations to sharpen presentations and turn daily notes into bullet points and checklists. We also cover free vs paid plans, why limits matter when you use AI heavily, and the two guardrails we both care about: privacy and personalization settings.
If you’ve been curious but hesitant, give this conversation 10 to 15 minutes of your attention and take one small step after you listen. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s still on the fence, and leave a review with the AI tool you’re trying first.

"King Kongin" Mindset with Rizzo King Kongin May 28, 2026

Your name is a search result now, and your brand is either being built on purpose or built by accident. We talk with Rizzo “King Kongin”, a marketer and creator who turned a competitive personal energy into a brand and an energy drink, then sold the formulation while keeping the King Kongin identity as a long-term platform.
We get into the real origin story: planking challenges, relentless repetition, and the decision to be everywhere with your message. Rizzo breaks down how Master P helped shape the blueprint, what it takes to earn access to rooms with major celebrities, and why “opportunity” is more like a box of puzzle pieces than a finished picture. If you care about entrepreneurial mindset, product marketing, and personal branding, this conversation stays grounded in action and consequences.
Then we go where most people avoid: partnerships. We talk about how deals go sideways when roles, budgets, and expectations are not clear from day one. From there, we zoom into AI search, Gemini, YouTube, and short-form video tools, plus the practical reality that AI models learn your reputation from what you publish. If you want to control the narrative around your business, real estate brand, or athlete profile, this is the playbook.

Empty Your Backpack with Sam Demma May 21, 2026

One torn-up knee can change a whole life, but only if you’re willing to look for the lesson instead of the loss. Sam Demma, Author of Empty Your Backpack, joins us to share how a serious soccer setback became the starting point for a decade of keynote speaking, service, and storytelling built on one principle: small, consistent actions.
We dig into the moments that shaped Sam’s message, from picking up trash as a first “small action,” to a flight attendant who turned a paper cup into a phone stand just to help a stranger. That tiny act of kindness turned into a viral story with real-world impact, reminding us that the best leadership skills are often quiet, human, and repeatable. Sam also tells the pandemic-era “Be Someone’s Taco” story, a simple food delivery that became a symbol of hope, a kids book, and a surprising ripple effect in schools.
Along the way, we talk practical tools for communication and personal growth: how to capture story moments in real time, why using someone’s name changes the entire tone of an interaction, and the “spilled coffee theory” for what comes out of us when life bumps us. We also get into what Sam sees in students today, especially fear of judgment and the need for someone to go first, plus what it looks like to build a team and buy back your time without losing the joy.

Co-Buying Can Get You Into Homeownership Faster May 14, 2026

OUR GUEST THIS WEEK IS: Pete Heim, Realtor

One in three buyers may be teaming up to buy a home, and that single stat raises a huge question: is co-buying the future of homeownership, or a shortcut that can blow up later? We dig into what co-buying actually means (non-married co-borrowers, friends, relatives, and partners), why it’s rising, and how it can turn rent money into a real estate investment when affordability is tight and inventory is thin.
We also zoom out to what the 2026 housing market looks like beyond the headlines. We talk through National Association of Realtors data on home prices across metro areas, why interest rate shifts ripple through demand, and how the Northeast continues to surprise with pockets that stay competitive. Then we get specific about what we’re seeing in places like Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland: new construction popping up, retirees rethinking where they land, and the real draw of lower taxes and no sales tax.
From there, we move into practical buyer strategy. We explain why a fully underwritten approval can beat a basic pre-approval, how offering a short post-settlement occupancy to the seller can make a financed offer feel less stressful, and why targeting listings that have been sitting for 20+ days can be a smarter path than chasing the hottest house on day one. We also unpack the wild equity story: homeowners are sitting on about $11 trillion in tappable home equity, and only a small slice has been accessed, which helps explain how some buyers compete like cash.
If you want a clearer read on housing inventory, co-buying risk, cash buyer pressure, and real tactics that can win in a competitive market, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s trying to buy, and leave us a review with your biggest homebuying question.

Surviving The Unthinkable with John Ulsh May 07, 2026

A family drives home from a swim meet thinking about Christmas plans and seconds later everything is unrecognizable. Our guest, John Ulsh, walks us through the head-on collision that nearly killed him and his entire family, the other driver’s death, and the recovery that followed: massive internal injuries, an induced coma, a nursing home stay, paralysis, and a long list of surgeries that kept coming for years.
We also talk about the parts people don’t see when they hear a “survival story” headline: survivor’s guilt, chronic pain, the loneliness of nighttime in a facility, and the moment hope feels like it disappears. John shares a near-death experience he still can’t fully explain, then gets painfully honest about what finally helped him move forward, including a simple reason he could actually believe and a willingness to rebuild his identity instead of chasing his old life.
One of the biggest pivots comes when his daughter tells him she misses her “old daddy.” That pushes John to take ownership of his rehab, find a new kind of training, and learn a powerful mindset shift: there is pain you can’t control and pain you can control, and controlled pain can become progress. From there, we get into resilience, self-advocacy in healthcare, why he’s fired doctors, how he built a personal “board of directors,” and the lessons behind his book The Upside of Down: A Survivor’s Guide to Turning Setbacks into Success.
If you care about overcoming adversity, trauma recovery, chronic pain mindset, resilience training, and turning setbacks into fuel, you’ll get a lot out of this conversation. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the biggest takeaway you’re applying this week.

Time Is The Only Currency You Spend Blindly - Mitchell Osmond Apr 30, 2026

We sit down with Mitchell Osmond of the Dad Nation Podcast and get brutally honest about what it means to be a present dad in a noisy world, where work, phones, and stress quietly steal the only thing we can’t earn back: time.
We talk about the stats that reframe everything: how fast your time with your kids drops as they grow, and why that “one focused hour” each day can shape a child’s confidence for life. Mitchell breaks down the two questions kids ask under the surface, “Am I enough?” and “Do I have what it takes?” and how a father’s encouragement, belief, and consistent presence can keep them from searching for worth in all the wrong places. We also get into the father-daughter dynamic, including how the way we treat our wives becomes the blueprint our daughters normalize.
Then we zoom out to marriage and communication, because strong families are built on strong partnerships. Mitchell shares a clear framework for what wives often need to feel secure: seen, heard, and safe, along with simple active listening tools that lower defensiveness and rebuild connection. We also unpack emotional disconnection, the quiet drift that damages relationships long before any big blowup.
If you want actionable fatherhood advice, practical marriage help, and a reset on what matters most, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share this with a parent who needs it, and leave a review telling us: what’s one small change you’re making this week?

RadarQR For Real-World Dating with Less Creeps Apr 23, 2026

Swiping has trained us to judge people like trading cards, then wonder why dating feels hollow. Brad sits down with Amberlei Ann Oates, the Founder and CEO of RadarQR, to talk about a bold alternative: build connection where chemistry actually lives, face to face, in public, with better tools to break the ice.
Amberlei shares how being single in San Francisco pushed her to “flip the script” on modern online dating. Instead of spending hours swiping just to earn a first meeting, RadarQR helps you meet in the real world first and use a QR code profile to bridge the awkward moment safely. We get into why rejection fear holds so many people back, why men often feel frozen about approaching, and how authenticity shows up in the details a photo cannot capture like voice, humor, kindness, and the way you treat others.
We also dig into how the app works: QR cards you can hand out, profiles with photos and videos, and a hotspot map where you can choose to check in and see who else is open to meeting people nearby. That opt-in visibility matters, because Amber brings a military intelligence lens to privacy and safety, explaining why sharing phone numbers or social accounts can expose far more personal information than most people realize. The conversation expands beyond dating into friendships, community, and networking at conferences, plus how local hotspots can benefit from real foot traffic instead of more screen time.
If you want a dating app alternative that prioritizes real-world connection, safer social discovery, and mental health, you’ll want to hear this. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s tired of swiping, and leave a review with your take: should meeting in person be the default again?

What Would the Rockefellers Do with Garrett Gunderson Apr 16, 2026

Most money advice tells you to grind harder, save more, and wait. We don’t buy it. Brad sits down with author and entrepreneur finance expert Garrett Gunderson to talk about a different target: financial independence, where cash flow covers your life and work becomes optional. Along the way, we get real about the cost of living on “someday,” and why building wealth should improve your quality of life now, not just your net worth later.
Garrett shares what he learned studying generational wealth and the Rockefeller strategy, including the practical moves families can borrow even without billionaire money: trusts that carry instructions, life insurance used for liquidity and tax-efficient legacy planning, and a modern version of a family office where advisors actually coordinate. We also dig into the human side of wealth, like investing in heirs through family retreats, building shared rituals, and writing a family constitution in your own words so values travel with the assets. (I LOVE THIS)
Then we take on retirement planning, 401(k)s, taxes, and the hidden drains Garrett calls the Four I’s: IRS, interest, investments, and insurance. The GE pension story is a sharp lesson in stability, sequence-of-returns risk, and what happens when greed replaces good structure. We also talk “investor DNA,” why taking bigger risks isn’t the same as getting better returns, and why investing in yourself is often the highest ROI move you can make. (key take away)
If you’ve ever wondered how to create generational wealth, protect your assets, and still enjoy the life you’re building, this conversation gives you a clear starting point. Subscribe for more real-life money talk, share this with someone building a family legacy, and leave a review. What would you change first to make work optional? #garrettgunderson #bradweisman #thebradweismanshow #rockefellers #weatlthtransfer

NFL Player to Hand Written Notes with Rick Elmore Apr 09, 2026

OUR Guest this Week: Rick Elmore

*We apologize for the sound quality with this weeks guest*

You know that split-second reaction when you spot a handwritten envelope in a pile of junk mail and bills? We’re chasing that moment of attention and what it means for modern marketing with Rick Elmore, former NFL defensive end and the founder and CEO of Simply Noted.
Rick walks us through the real economics of the NFL, why “not for long” is more than a joke, and how an identity crisis after football pushed him into sales, an MBA, and eventually entrepreneurship. The turning point is surprisingly simple: handwritten notes get opened, remembered, and trusted, but almost nobody has the time to write them at scale. So Rick tested the idea, proved the response, then built the infrastructure to make it real, including custom handwriting robots that put actual pen on paper.
We also get practical about scaling a self-funded business: production capacity, engineering costs, and the painful lesson that what gets you to a few million in revenue will not get you to the next level. Then we go full modern with direct mail tracking, QR code attribution, and Rick’s bullish take on AI for small business, including how he runs AI SDRs to book meetings. The big takeaway: as AI increases distance, relationship marketing and trust signals like handwritten mail become even more valuable.

The Shot That Changed Everything with Kris Jenkins Apr 03, 2026

One shot can freeze time and then speed your whole life up. Kris Jenkins, the Villanova guard who buried the legendary 4.7-second buzzer beater to win the 2016 national championship, joins us for a real, behind-the-scenes breakdown of what that moment felt like and why it wasn’t luck. We talk about the game’s momentum swings, the pressure of the last possession, and the instant he knew the ball was going in because the “work was already done.”
From there, we zoom out to the part people forget: what happens after the highlight goes viral. Kris shares how quickly the fame hit, what it’s like waking up to major media attention, and how he kept his friendships and mindset steady when the world suddenly wanted photos and autographs. We also get into a wild layer of the story, facing his brother on the opposite side of the championship game, and how that changes the emotional weight of winning and losing.
Kris also brings his perspective into today’s college sports reality, including NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). We unpack why athletes deserve to be paid, why the system can still go too far without guardrails, and why financial literacy and long-term thinking matter when money shows up early. He shares how he now uses these lessons in public speaking for athletes and organizations, focusing on leadership, dominant teams, finding your role, and meeting your moment. If you’ve ever wondered what clutch really looks like, hit play, then subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.
