In this heartfelt episode of Real Talk, David sits down with Donna Reed, a 20+ year real estate veteran whose career has been built on one simple truth: people matter. From her early days before real estate to becoming a trusted leader and mentor in Southern Arizona, Donna shares how curiosity, relationships, and language have shaped both her business and her life. Donna opens up about why doing your best looks different for everyone, how listening is one of the most powerful tools in real estate, and why helping people navigate life’s transitions is just as important as closing deals. The conversation also dives into her passion for words, the inspiration behind her book, and her belief that understanding stories—across generations and cultures—is essential for meaningful connection.

In this episode, we sit down with Angie McMahon, a 36-year real estate veteran known for her discipline, heart for service, and commitment to doing what other agents won’t. Angie shares her powerful journey—from being pulled into real estate kicking and screaming, to building a thriving career rooted in relationships, referrals, and impact. She opens up about starting over multiple times, balancing family and business, overcoming personal adversity, and why presence, consistency, and community still matter more than ever in today’s market. This conversation is packed with wisdom for agents at any stage of their career and is a masterclass in building a business—and a life—with intention.

In this episode of Real Talk with David, I sit down with Tim Brown — partner, leader, and founder of Prescott Lux Realty Group — for a powerful conversation about success, efficiency, and building a business that actually supports the life you want. Tim’s journey didn’t start in real estate. After dropping out of high school at 16, hustling in construction, and spending over a decade rising into leadership inside a high-volume manufacturing plant, Tim learned hard lessons about discipline, efficiency, leadership, and self-management. Those lessons ultimately became the foundation for his success in real estate. This conversation is a must-listen for agents who want more than just production — for anyone looking to build a profitable, sustainable business without burning out or chasing someone else’s version of success. Real estate is just the vehicle. Alignment is the destination. @realtotimothybrown Contact the Access Network at https://accessnetwork.us/ Follow David on Instagram @daviddmorse

With the changes to the real estate business coming on August 17th both of these will be tested. Follow David at @daviddmorse on Instagram
