FEB 2026 Coach's Playbook

February is usually a slower month for most of us. The holiday rush is over, spring hasn't really kicked in yet, and it's easy to start feeling a little anxious about the lull. But here's the thing—I want you to flip that script. Instead of looking at this as downtime, look at it as your chanc...

JAN 2026 Coach's Playbook

Happy New Year! This is the time when everyone is talking about resolutions, but I want to challenge you to think differently. Instead of making vague promises that you'll forget by February, let's talk about setting a real vision for 2026 and breaking it down into actionable steps. What do yo...

DEC 2025 Coach's Playbook

On November 5th, 2025, I officially became an empty nester. My last son left the house, and I'll be honest—it's been quite an adjustment. The house is quieter, there are fewer dishes in the sink, and I no longer have to negotiate for control of keys to the pickup truck. But what's been most si...

NOV 2025 Coach's Playbook

I'm in the throes of putting together the next Elevate Retreat with Blaine Feyen, and I couldn't be more excited about this event. We're planning for February 2026, and after last year's incredible experience, this one is lining up to be even better. There's something magical that happens when...

OCT 2025 Coach's Playbook

Report from the semi-retirement front lines. I'm purposefully doing only 1-2 appraisals per week now. My son is soon flying the nest, and we've spent a great deal of time together camping in the high mountains of Idaho. This has been possible because I've set up my business to allow for this f...

SEP 2025 Coach's Playbook

Just got done with the Valuation Expo in Vegas in August. The only CE class I took was Bryan Reynolds' Intro to the New UAD class. First off, this is not going to be hard. There are some difficulties and challenges, but no need to freak out. Second, we have time. And The Appraiser Coach will b...

AUG 2025 Coach's Playbook

It's been a busy summer, and the rumors keep swirling about an interest rate cut coming in late summer or early fall. Who knows what Jerome Powell will actually do—but here's what I know for certain: you can't build a sustainable appraisal business based on the Federal Reserve Chairman's mood sw...

JUL 2025 Coach's Playbook

I've been diving deep into AI lately, and I've got to tell you—teaching it to others has been even more rewarding than learning it myself. Just wrapped up an intensive workshop in Atlanta with 12 forward-thinking appraisers who were hungry to master this game-changing technology. Most of these ...
