Mindset Matters w/ Jimmy Everetts

On this week’s episode of Mindset Matters, I sat down with my friend Kristy Lee of the Ceretto Group at Coldwell Banker — a proud Colorado native whose story is equal parts courage, curiosity, and reinvention.Kristy grew up in Arvada - a rollerblading, bike‑riding tomboy who didn’t care much for dolls but loved the freedom of being outside. She went from dreaming of being a pizza maker at age ten to traveling through Europe after college, then finding her footing as a floral designer, and eventually spending 15 years in property management - helping people find homes while quietly losing joy in the increasing weight of that work.By the time she married her husband, James, and welcomed their son, Parker, the career that once felt secure had become heavy. So she did something few people have the courage to do in their mid‑thirties - she walked away from stability to start over. With a one‑year‑old at home, no health insurance, and money pulled from their house to fund year one, Kristy jumped headfirst into real estate with nothing but her determination and a deep belief that failure was not an option.Those early days were pure hustle - door knocking with Parker in a stroller, creating videos with him in the frame, and grinding through the uncertainty that comes with a business built from scratch. Today, Kristy is thriving — helping families find home across Colorado, traveling the world with James and Parker (including every Disney park she can reach), and yes — about to finally get her pink Bronco.In this conversation, we talk about the mindset behind that leap: the difference between “needing it to work” and making it work, the power of loving a state and community so much that you build your life and business around it, and the freedom that comes with designing a career on your own terms.Kristy’s story is the reminder so many of us need: that starting over isn’t failure, it’s faith — and sometimes the best plan is the one without a backup.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

On this week's episode of Mindset Matters, I was joined by my friend Patrick Laurienti, one of the most intentional people I know and the  founder and team lead of The LHT Group here in Denver.Patrick’s story starts in Watkins, Colorado - a small country town where he spent his early years running through open fields, chasing wild horses, and testing every boundary within sight. Rambunctious, curious, and full of energy, he was the kind of kid who couldn’t sit still for long. By high school, Patrick already knew he wasn’t headed to college. He wanted to build something by either working his way up through a company or creating his own. That mindset was rare among his peers, and especially powerful considering his roots. Raised by a single mom after his parents’ divorce, he watched her navigate financial instability and tough seasons that left a mark on him. As Patrick puts it, “Life shouldn’t have a price tag.” That belief drives everything he does: if someone else can do it, so can he.At just 19, he got his real estate license, but it took eight long months to sell his first house. At one point, he told his girlfriend (now wife) he was quitting to try network marketing, and she challenged him to at least sell one house before walking away. He did — and never looked back.Over the next decade, Patrick built a thriving business from scratch. He weathered the hard years, learned the art of consistency, and turned optimism into action. Along the way, he married his high school sweetheart, became a father to three beautiful kids (now 3, 5, and 7), and learned that growth doesn’t mean sacrificing what matters most.We talk about that evolution - what it means to build a seven-figure business while being intentional about family, fatherhood, and faith. Patrick shares how ambition can be both a blessing and a burden, how his constant drive once led to burnout, and how he’s learned the real power of saying no.Today, Patrick runs The LHT Group, coaches other agents, and leads with the same belief that’s guided him since he was a kid chasing wild horses: anything is possible. His current goals include building a seven-figure real estate business, hiring his first full-time support to scale sustainably, and laying the foundation for a long-term vision - a “fantasy factory”–style property where he can host team retreats, coaching events, and create a place that inspires others to dream as big as he does.At the heart of it all, Patrick’s story is about clarity — cutting distractions, leading with curiosity, and being fully present for the people who matter most.Patrick, thank you for sharing your mindset, your lessons, and your light with all of us.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Every now and then, a conversation reminds you just how far mindset can take a person — and this week’s episode with Chelsea Steen of Your Castle Real Estate does just that.Chelsea grew up in Marion, Ohio, a small-town kid with a loud laugh, a rebellious streak, and an untamable sense of independence. Her childhood was shaped by the kind of freedom that bred both curiosity and grit. She spent her days exploring the woods, breaking the rules, and falling in love with sports - basketball, soccer, even a stint in tackle football.At just 11, Chelsea was hit by a car and told she might never walk again. Six months later, she was back on the field, a defining lesson in resilience that would follow her for the rest of her life.That fire carried her through Catholic school uniforms she hated, top grades she earned anyway, and eventually to Case Western Reserve University. At 20, she stepped into entrepreneurship, running a college painting franchise that would make her the top-producing female in the company’s U.S. history by graduation.She built her own real estate business from there, learned the hard lessons of leadership (including a few early “boss mistakes”), and achieved the kind of success that most would call enough. But after years of chasing goals, Chelsea and her wife made a life-changing decision: to sell almost everything and spend ten months traveling the world together. That was a reset that gave her space to breathe, reflect, and rediscover who she wanted to be outside of career and achievement.Today at Your Castle, Chelsea continues to blend her competitive energy with compassion, helping clients make confident moves while staying anchored in what truly matters.Her story is wild, wise, and full of lessons: that perfectionism softens with wisdom, that leadership starts with self-awareness, and that sometimes, slowing down is the power move that changes everything.Chelsea, thank you for sharing your story, your honesty, and your mindset with me.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

As we launch the 4th season of Mindset Maters, I was thrilled to sit down with my friend Kendra Lanterman of West+Main Homes - a born-and-raised Arvada native who has been in the real estate industry since she was 16 years old. Kendra got her start answering phones at her Nana Jane's brokerage, and by 17, she knew there was no turning back. 24 years later, she's still doing what she loves - and she's doing it with a level of integrity that the industry desperately needs more of.Having bought her first home in 2005 and facing the challenges of potential foreclosure in 2008 - all while pregnant with her first child – Kendra learned firsthand how a 2 year home can become a 10 year one, how to prepare for moments when things do not go as planned, and how she can use so many of the lessons she has learned along the years to help her show up for her clients.As you’ll hear, it’s clear how serious Kendra takes her responsibilities to her family and her clients as we talked about balancing motherhood with a commission-only career, building her business around her family instead of the other way around, and why she's talked herself out of more deals than most agents would admit to - because it simply wasn't the right move for her clients.If you've ever felt like the real estate or mortgage industry is more focused on the transaction than the person - this episode is for you. Kendra is the kind of professional who roots for you whether you're her client, her colleague, or a complete stranger. Tune in, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and as always… Mindset Matters. [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

David Williams grew up in Bath, England, in a family where weekends were defined by rugby pitches, squash courts, and long days at school followed by even longer evenings of sport. That early love of team environments carried him across the Atlantic to Boston and Vermont, into graduate school, elite ski academies, the AHL, and eventually onto the pitch with the U.S. national rugby team, running out in front of 40,000+ fans in Hong Kong.From there, his role evolved from player to strength and conditioning coach to national team staff — helping prepare the U.S. squad for a Rugby World Cup, building systems, and pushing athletes to their limits. And then, like so many of us, he hit a crossroads and walked away from the only world he’d ever really known.Today, David has built a second career in commercial real estate across Colorado — office, industrial, land, investment — bringing the same team-first mindset into boardrooms, site tours, and negotiations. He’s honest about what he misses from sport, what he doesn’t romanticize, and why he’ll always choose values and long-term relationships over chasing the biggest check.At the heart of this conversation is something simple and rare: the power of having real friends, real conversations, and a real support system while you reinvent yourself — and why being a “good bloke” and maybe even a G.C. still matters more than any title.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Christina Ray’s story is one of grit, faith, and fearless reinvention. Raised on an Air Force base in North Dakota, she grew up surrounded by discipline, loyalty, and community—watching her dad build a military career and her mom dedicate 25 years to Lockheed Martin. Those early lessons carried her from small-town life to Colorado, where she found herself navigating college, chasing purpose, and eventually stumbling into a career in property management.What started as a leasing job turned into a decade-long climb through every level of the business, all the way to regional director. She met her husband there, learned how to lead people, and discovered just how much she loved helping others find “home.” But everything changed the day she got a call from daycare saying her daughter was sick—and her boss asked, “What’s your plan B?” That moment pushed her to create one of her own.Eight months pregnant with her second child, Christina decided it was time to bet on herself. She got licensed, joined Live Laugh Denver, and never looked back. Over nine years, she’s built a thriving real estate career while raising two daughters, setting boundaries that protect both her business and her family. Her mindset—rooted in faith, gratitude, and abundance—has carried her through markets that tested even the best agents.In this episode, Christina shares what it really takes to balance ambition and motherhood, how she’s teaching her daughters the power of hard work, and why she believes success means never having to tell your kids “we can’t afford that dream.” It’s an honest, heartfelt look at a woman who’s built her life around service, family, and the kind of perseverance that can’t be faked.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

This week on Mindset Matters I sat down with my friend and fellow Green Mountain grad, Mikelle Adkins Smith of Keller Williams Advantage.Mikelle grew up an only child who loved books and writing, with a very straightforward plan: become an attorney, make the grades, do the work, check the boxes. She got into DU, worked 40 hours a week while carrying a full class load, and stayed locked in on that path… until real estate and the title world showed her two things at once:1. She could make more money, faster, without going hundreds of thousands into debt.2. She could actually build a life she wanted, not just a résumé that looked good.From there, her story takes a lot of turns - leaving the law-school dream behind and jumping into title, burning out during the refi boom, meeting her now-husband Brian and, within six months, watching him buy a struggling franchise while she quit her stable job and they got married, and eventually her decision to enter real estate and build a life and business simultaneously. We get into motherhood, too. Having kids during the 2007–08 mess, choosing to be home as much as she could while still selling, and how having three boys (now 18, 16, and 13) completely reframed how she talks to clients about homeownership. And then there’s hockey.A random flyer in a kindergarten Friday folder led to roller hockey at Skate City… then ice hockey… and now all three boys are all-in. They shoot pucks every day without being asked, they study film, they battle each other in the driveway, and they make choices most grown adults won’t make to protect their opportunities. Mikelle and Brian don’t try to be their coaches - they just ask good questions, keep them grounded, and let the work ethic be theirs.What stuck with me most, though, was this:Mikelle will tell you she’s guarded, that she keeps a small circle because of some of what she lived through growing up. But if you listen to how she talks about her boys, her clients, and even the kids they play with, you can hear the truth - she’s got a massive heart, and her sons have inherited it. They care, they stick up for people, and they don’t let past hurts decide how they show up.If you’re in real estate, a parent, or just someone trying to figure out how to chase big goals without losing your mind or your family in the process, this episode is worth your time.And Mikelle's story... starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

This week on Mindset Matters I got to sit down with my friend and straight shooter, Sasha Smothers of Keller Williams Advantage in Lakewood. If you’ve ever felt like you were “the quiet kid” who didn’t quite know where you fit, or if you’ve been staring at this housing market wondering what’s real and what’s just noise, this episode is going to land.Sasha grew up outside of Boston as an introverted, sometimes overlooked gymnast - the kid who didn’t always feel worthy of speaking up. She was raised by entrepreneurial parents in mortgages and real estate, watched them build businesses and still show up for every important moment, and somewhere along the way picked up an early belief that her voice might not matter as much as everyone else’s.Fast forward - she moves to Denver on a 24-hour decision, survives a pandemic in a brand new city, hires a coach, does the hard inner work, and slowly starts to rebuild her identity. While this massive change is taking place, she meets her now-husband and stepdaughter at the apartment pool, falls in love with both of them, and over time steps fully into what she was built for - helping people navigate one of the most complicated housing and financial environments we’ve ever lived through.What I admire about Sasha is simple - she tells the truth, even when it isn’t trendy and she’s not afraid to talk about the uncomfortable parts of our financial system that most “professionals” ignore because it doesn’t fit on a postcard.During our conversation we talked about her journey from introverted gymnast to confident, outspoken agent, the mindset work that helped her finally see her own worth, how she and her husband think about money, control systems, and what might really be coming next, and why she believes community, curiosity, and questioning the mainstream narrative might be the only way we get through this together.Her story... starts now! [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

Stephen Berg’s journey reads like a crash course in perseverance. Growing up in Evergreen, CO, with a pilot father, his childhood was shaped by curiosity, travel, and an early fascination with aviation. After 9/11, that dream dissolved — both because of his opposition to the war and witnessing his father lose his pension when United Airlines filed bankruptcy. The experience planted two lifelong seeds: distrust in corporate systems and an obsession with independence.He tried it all - flipping houses, running a wine department, even becoming a certified sommelier and assistant winemaker in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. But when the financial fallout from a mold-ridden home and a costly lawsuit left him nearly bankrupt, Berg rebuilt again. This time, back home in Denver, as a real estate agent.With a newborn, another on the way, $80K in debt, and his family living in one bedroom at his in-laws’, Stephen started from zero and within two years was the Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR) Rookie of the Year, discovering that the only real limits were the ones he’d been placing on himself.Our conversation covered a lot of ground - from the danger of comparing your chapter one to someone else’s chapter twenty, to how punk rock, science, and critical thinking can shape a career and a worldview. We also dove into why structure and patience are underrated superpowers in an unpredictable industry and how fatherhood reframed his idea of success — not just as freedom of income, but freedom of time.By the end, Stephen’s story becomes less about selling homes and more about how to build a life — one defined by adaptability, curiosity, and conviction.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

On this week’s episode of Mindset Matters I had the honor of sitting down with my friend and absolute pro, Jessica Lentz of eXp, Colorado native who turned hard seasons into repeatable excellence. Jessica grew up in Littleton (Columbine class of 2000), walked through more loss and challenges by nineteen than many see in a lifetime, and somehow found a way to raise a family, build a life and grow one of the more impressive real estate businesses in all of Denver. At one point in her life a teenage mother both working and studying full time, Jessica earned a biology and nuclear medicine degree, moved to Seattle for a rare program, and still somehow found the energy to read her son biology textbooks at bedtime. And when life pivoted, she pivoted. A severance check and six weeks later, she took a shot at real estate with zero expectations and a very un-Instagram start: FSBO, HUD, messy buy-sell—trial by fire from day one. What followed is the part I want every agent and entrepreneur to hear: Jessica built a durable business on three FOCUSED hours a day. No frantic “always on,” no “I meditate about my ice bath” monologue - just clear boundaries, fast communication, and a bias for service over spectacle.Not to say she didn’t work outside those hours, but those three hours have become the foundation on which everything in her business has been built. Jessica has a clear understanding of what she wants and what her expectations are. From playing offense with clients (set expectations so emotions don’t run the show), to refusing to tie your identity to a paycheck, to why doing one deal a month is a legitimate business that doesn’t require you to sell your soul. We also get into the good stuff: raising great kids (shoutout to Collin taking his real estate exam the day before Thanksgiving to match mom’s milestone, and Hayden patrolling center field), leaving railroad life for a healthier family rhythm, travel, concerts, sunshine, and yes - logging miles on a treadmill to the Eras Tour.Jessica’s story is proof that consistency beats chaos, boundaries beat burnout, and a servant’s heart beats slick tactics - every time.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

On this week’s episode of Mindset Matters…Jason Dalbey has the kind of story that reminds you growth doesn’t happen in straight lines - it happens in leaps, pivots, and a few well-timed faceplants that teach you what really matters.A self-described “awkward, lanky kid” who learned to adapt through constant moves across the country, Jason discovered early on that being genuine was the quickest way to build connection. That same authenticity is what defines him now as the founder and team lead of The Denver Group at Compass, a real estate team built on integrity, collaboration, and actual value - not ego.After grinding through corporate sales, surviving a failed business attempt around the 2008 collapse, and later house-hacking a Congress Park triplex with his wife Meg, Jason found his lane in real estate and never looked back. What he built since isn’t just a successful team - it’s a culture that reinvests in people first, values presence over production, and focuses on selling Denver, not himself.A husband, a dad to three amazing kids, and a self-proclaimed LEGO therapist, Jason is refreshingly honest about leadership, burnout, and balance. He’s proof that ambition doesn’t have to come at the expense of family, and that “always happy, never satisfied” might be the healthiest mindset in the room.His story... starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

In today's episode of Mindset Matters we changed it up a little bit and I sat down with two men that I very much look up to. Sergio Nazarro was $1m+ per year producing real estate agent when he realized that what he was building professionally was simultaneously tearing his personal life and marriage apart. So... instead of ignoring the problem and hoping "success" would solve it all - he made a massive pivot, leaving real estate entirely and entering the world of coaching. Now a few years into his new journey, Sergio has found his calling by helping men find their strength within themselves and their marriages.  Lewi Gault may not have torn his personal life down - but after rapidly building a substantial real estate business, he realized that everything he was working towards was in the opposite direction of the life he wanted to create. In an industry obsessed with terms like grind and non-stop - Lewi decided he could accomplish more by helping people in a similar situation to recognize what is most important to them rather than what they're told is most important by an industry bent on production.In this episode we have a great conversation about life, marriage, family, operating a business, and what success really looks like.That starts...now.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Andre Whitt is the fun-natured, down-to-earth type you can tell early on takes things in stride. Having been in the real estate game for years, he’s experienced it all — operating his own brokerage (twice), navigating market shifts, and managing both the hot stretches of non-stop work and the cool stretches of regrouping.A husband and father of two, Andre's journey as a man has been shaped by his understanding of what he wants for his family, for himself, and for the people he surrounds himself with. In a world that struggles to define the word “enough,” he at least has a sense of what that means to him and works very intentionally toward its accomplishment.An avid golfer and a natural content creator, Andre’s work has evolved into a lifestyle that fits him and allows him to show up for people in a way that matters. Whether he’s discussing the market on the 9th green or shooting a video that entertains and educates, if it’s good energy and positive vibes — Andre is all about it.His story… starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Taylor Bunney has long been the person who is going to care, who is going to find a way, who is going to put more into a challenge than even she will give herself credit for. A Colorado native, she was both the kid that wanted to please and to be helpful, and one who realized early on that hard work and determination would take her just about anywhere she wanted to go. A highly -skilled realtor at eXp, Taylor takes a tremendous amount of pride in how she represents her clients and how she shows up for them. Compassionate and understanding, tenacious and blunt (in the best way possible), as she is described by her colleagues, Taylor's natural tendency to put her all into something has lead to becoming a repeat Icon agent with the company and a loyal client base that love working with her. A nurturing spirit to the core, it is no surprise that Taylor derives the most joy in her life from being a mother to her son Drake and the relationship they have forged. She is also not the the type to shy from the truth, and her acknowledgement of where she finds lessons, faults and growth in herself as a parent and professional are as real and genuine as they get. As she shares her story, it's impossible not to hear how heavy the responsibilities she places on herself can be - and how much pride she takes in holding it.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Few people are as immediately likeable as Lewi Gault - and it only gets better from there. On today's episode of Mindset Matters, I had the good fortune of sitting down with my friend and colleague, and to hear his journey as a young man who grew up in Scotland found his way to Denver, met the love of his life and started a family, and eventually reached such levels of success in real estate that he felt like... a failure.Now, not a failure in the "I am not good at this" sense, - rather he was so good at his craft that it consumed him and left many of life's most important elements in it's wake. Time to be a loving husband - limited, to say the least. Time to be a present father - nope. Time to enjoy all the benefits his business had reaped upon him - not even a little bit. Then one day, while discussing travel plans that a family friend was preparing - Lewi's wife, Mackenzie, said something life changing - "we're never going to have that." All the success, all the accolades, and all the money, and they would never have the time and ability to enjoy it. That conversation became a catalyst for Lewi, who went through the challenging process of recalibrating his life and what is most important to him - reprioritizing everything - until what mattered came first.  Now in a business where people are told they have to "always be on," Lewi has proven that not only is that not the case, you can THRIVE with boundaries. You can control your time, energy and production, and you can have the life AND business you want.This incredible journey and more was shared by the man himself, and starts now...www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Today we sit down with two incredible women I respect on every level — Jenny & Angelica Apel, a mother & daughter combination whose bond extends beyond personal and professional achievements and a life grounded in faith and family. Together, they’re a powerhouse real estate duo with Nostalgic Homes at Compass, and if you’ve spent any time in the Highlands, you already know their names.But what you may not know is the full story behind the signs and the sold stickers.As you'll hear - Jenny is a survivor — and not just of the real estate rollercoaster. Diagnosed with cancer when Angelica was a small child, the importance of motherhood and their connection was forever impacted by the challenges they overcame together in those earliest days. This family has stared down some heavy chapters… and chose to meet them with faith, grace, and the kind of strength that’s hard to put into words.Angelica grew up in that storm — and somehow turned it into sunshine. Today, she and her husband Paul are the parents of two beautiful children, and she and Jenny don’t just sell homes, they build relationships, they lead with heart, and they’re raising the next generation right in the middle of it. Watching them both light up when they talk about Angelica’s kids… that’s legacy in real time. This episode is about real estate, yes. But it’s also about survival. About showing up. About what it means to raise a family while fighting for your life — and still choosing to give love to the people around you.I’m proud of this one. Proud of them. And honored to help share their story.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

This week on Mindset Matters, I sit down with my good friend and Boulder native, Colin Dart — a standout realtor at milehimodern, genuinely a world traveler, and easily one of the sharpest-dressed humans you’ll ever meet. But beyond the wardrobe and real estate accolades is a man of rare integrity, intentionality, and depth.Colin is the kind of person who approaches his work not just as a job, but as a true craft. His clients aren’t transactions — they’re relationships, responsibilities, and in many ways, reflections of how seriously he takes the impact he can have in someone’s life. We talk about what it means to show up every day with purpose, the lessons that only come from failing forward, and how to stay grounded in a world that loves to pull you in a thousand directions.We also talk about his partner in life and magic, Virginia Dart — a gifted Colombian-born singer and recording artist whose heart is as massive as her talent. The way Colin and Virginia support each other through two incredibly demanding, creative careers is something we can all learn from. If you're in pursuit of excellence, balance, or just want to hear from someone who’s doing it right, this episode will leave you thinking — and maybe even rethinking — how you show up in your own world.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

This week on Mindset Matters, I sit down with Lauren Vollono of Liv Sotheby's here in Denver — a woman whose story hits hard, inspires big, and reminds us that it’s never too late to change your life.Lauren spent over a decade in speech pathology, helping others find their voice in places like Long Island, Santa Barbara, and New York City. But after reaching a point of career burnout,  coupled with a move to Denver that didn’t exactly start out as a dream, she found herself in unfamiliar territory — unsure, stuck, and deeply questioning her path. What came next was a turning point most people only fantasize about.Lauren didn’t just pivot careers — she lit it on fire. She studied her way into real estate and launched herself into a new chapter with relentless drive and genuine heart. Within just a few years, she’s become one of Denver’s top-producing agents, earned a seat at LIV Sotheby’s, and carved out a niche in both resale and new development real estate.But this conversation isn’t just about sales or brokerages. It’s about resilience. It’s about the mental toll of starting over, the courage to try something new, and the quiet power of believing in yourself when nobody else has the answers. This is one of the realest conversations I’ve had on Mindset Matters, and Lauren brings it with raw honesty, grit, and the kind of authenticity that reminds you why this stuff matters in the first place.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

In this powerful episode of Mindset Matters, I sat down with Olivia Kunevicius of milehimodern — a true embodiment of resilience, compassion, and purpose-driven living.Olivia's journey has taken her a childhood growing up near Cleveland Ohio, across multiple states and adventures, before she found her true home in Denver and her passion in real estate. But her story doesn't stop there. After the tragic loss of her beloved sister, Jessica, Olivia transformed her grief into action. Witnessing firsthand the extraordinary care provided by healthcare workers during her sister’s most difficult moments, Olivia knew she had to give back.Fueled by gratitude and a drive to make a difference, Olivia founded the MedicalPRO Home program — a groundbreaking initiative designed to support medical professionals on their path to homeownership. From zero down payment options to closing cost credits and even five hours of free childcare during property showings, Olivia’s mission is clear: to honor those who dedicate their lives to healing others.Tune in to hear how Olivia turned personal tragedy into a movement of generosity, how she navigated major life transitions with resilience, and why she believes that giving back is the most powerful mindset of all.This one’s got heart, grit, and some serious inspiration. Don’t miss it.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

This episode of Mindset Matters is one that will stay with me for a long time.I sat down with Tab Tobias—a founding member of The Monarch Group at Compass Denver, a badass REALTOR, a loving wife, a proud mom to a two-year-old son… and a woman who has walked through hell and come out with her heart still wide open.Tab has been sober for 18 years. In this conversation, she takes us into the raw, unfiltered truth of her battle with alcoholism—what it felt like at her lowest, what it meant to surrender to the work of recovery, and how it feels now to sponsor others through their own healing.She shares the moments that broke her, the community that helped rebuild her, and the personal growth that continues to shape her into the friend, mother, and professional she is today.But let me be clear: this is not a story of pity—it’s a story of power. It’s also a reminder that being a total badass and being soft-hearted can absolutely coexist.Tab is one of the most genuine, caring, and hilarious people I’ve ever met.

In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Wynne — a rapidly growing Realtor with Compass in Denver whose entrepreneurial spirit and relentless drive have shaped not just one, but two impressive careers. Before building a thriving real estate business in Colorado, Lisa launched a successful marketing company in San Diego, initially finding her niche in helping bars and restaurants stand out in a competitive market. That venture would eventually expand to Washington, landing high-profile clients including the Washington Commanders.Now, she brings that same creativity, grit, and strategic vision to real estate — and the results speak for themselves.But behind the ambition is something even more compelling: Lisa is also a deeply dedicated mother to a 16-year-old son who remains at the center of her world. Their bond, shaped by her own life experiences, is a powerful thread throughout her story.Tune in for a conversation about reinvention, resilience, and the balancing act of building big while keeping your priorities even bigger.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Nicki Thompson has a natural ability to impact people for the better. From her small town Kansas up bringing where she was one of 5 siblings, to moving to Denver with her Colorado native husband, Ryan, to staring down the challenge of starting a family, raising children, and building a real estate business all at the same time - there has been one common denominator - her desire to serve, help and make an impact on those around her.On today's episode, Nicki was kind enough to share a bit of her journey, including the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. A woman who thrives on challenge and figuring out the best way forward, she tells of building one of Denver's most accomplished real estate business without leaving out the moments that could have easily broken her down and left her lost. Through it all, you will hear the story of a woman who treasures time outside in deep thought, and who believes that telling people what they need to know will always be better for them than telling them what they want to hear.Her story, starts now!   [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

Autumn White grew up with an appreciation of the outdoors, of reading, and of the mindfulness and peace of spending time with herself and her thoughts. Growing up in the Boulder Heights community of Boulder, Colorado, she enjoyed the beauty of the mountains while also embracing the unique community of Boulder and the experiences it offered.  Then, just as she was beginning her freshman year of college, Autumn was in a car accident that resulted in four fractured vertebrae. In embracing that this event could have completely changed if not ended her life, she began to question what choices she was making and who those choices were for. Today, she acknowledges that the event was for her greater benefit as it made her live a far more intentional life than she may have otherwise. In 2017, seeking a new and fulfilling career path, Autumn entered the real estate business and created a faithful group of friends and clients who appreciate her intelligence, her high-level professional abilities, and the fact that her natural empathy and care for people has never once waived. Currently raising a teenage daughter, Autumn has embraced the individualistic experience that life presents, understanding that while she can advise her daughter, a friend, or a client, in the end, it is each person’s life to live, and she will support them through the best and worst of it.   Her story... starts now.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Janell Arant didn't need anyone to tell her to care or that she could create her own path, she just had a natural instinct to be helpful from the earliest ages and a drive to pursue new ideas. From an inherent desire to look out for her family and siblings, to joining her father at flea markets as a teenager where they would sell self-defense products, to recognizing during her college years that she was drawn to and capable of creating a business from scratch - Janell always seemed to have the ability to trust the path and follow her feet. She also had a passion for homes, building them from blocks as a kid and eventually teaching herself CADE so that she could add high levels of details. When she started a family and began having kids - Janell realized that being with her children as much as possible was priority #1. However, while she would be a "stay-at-home mom," her hustle mode of creation and entrepreneurship came out and at one point she had FOUR jobs. It created a constant tug-a-war that as her children would get older, there was something inside her that was building. As her children got older and began spending more of their days in school or with friends, she initially dove into appraising in Douglas County, before gaining the clarity that she was best served working for herself and dove headfirst into real estate. Leveraging her experience in marketing, appraising, and  her genuine passion for homes, she has quickly found her footing in the industry and has seen her business ever since.    Her story, starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

There is a natural curiosity about Elle Dice that serves her extremely well. From her warm smile and inquisitive spirit, you can right away tell that she is never going through the motions when she asks you a question, rather she is genuinely interested in learning about you and what is important to you. There is never a sense that she is listening for her turn to speak, instead she embraces the comradery and what she can glean from each conversation.The curiosity to learn and grow led Elle to begin an exploration of various career and financial opportunities that included a successful endeavor with a network marketing company, and to eventually point her to what has become a rapidly growing real estate business. A native of Breckenridge, Colorado, Elle also values vulnerability and embracing the journey, which is part of the reason she was kind enough to share some of the hardest and harshest of life lessons and the tough decisions she made to change her path for the better. Along the way, she was empowered by a group of motivated women she connected with, many of whom drawing strength from their Christian faith. It was these lessons that impressed upon and solidified for her the importance of community, of the bigger picture, and of her desire to impact people for the better.Her story starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Of all the skills in Justin Knolls' arsenal, among the most powerful one you might experience is his ability to put you at ease and make you feel welcomed the moment you encounter him. The pleasant smile, the instant encouragement, and a genuine interest in how things are going for you are clearly important to him.  It is clear that cheering for others is a foundational aspect to how he carries himself.An established coach who got that way from being a dedicated student, Justin grew up in a multi-generational real estate family and truly had the industry in his blood. It was little surprise than that he would eventually dive into the business - and primarily on his own - find high levels of success. What might not have been so expected was how he embraced leadership within his office early on and rapidly learned not only the legality of the ever-changing industry- but also developed the skillset to teach others how to grow their own business. Now one of the most recognizable names and faces in the Denver market, Justin continues to mentor and coach while also diving into the real estate contract business as a founding member of Get in Contract, or GIC, which is revolutionizing the industry with the ultimate transaction hub for top real estate professionals in Colorado.www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Jason Sirois learned from early age to embrace and love the climb, as a young boy growing up in California, climbing trees with little regard for how he would get back down. Through that early lesson, Jason discovered a confidence in his ability as well as an acceptance of risk that has served him throughout his entire life. Whether it was skateboarding, football, or deciding what career field to take on, fear has never played a factor in limiting his possibilities. A graduate of Fresno State, Jason thought his initial career path might involve medicine, and instead involved medical sales and the tech industry. While he experienced a high level of success in the Bay Area, earning new opportunities along the way, there was something missing, and he knew it was not his forever path. As he turned 30 years old - he sent out what he calls "his life compass" to discover what his next step would be. So in the final months of 2018 and entering into 2019, Jason packed his belongings and moved to Denver, Colorado - a city that had been on his radar for awhile. There he dove head first into a real estate career that has been one of the fastest rising in the Denver market. He has built a reputation and brand based on knowledge, intelligence, and the importance of client experience. What makes his accomplishments in real estate even more astounding is that he started in a new market, without any type of sphere, and without even knowing much about the city he would be operating in. It is truly a story of climbing from the ground up. Thank you for sharing your story with us, Jason!His story, starts now...www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

To understand Jim Perry, it's crucial to understand what has always been inherently important to him - brotherhood, accountability and leadership. Raised in Ohio and surrounded by his own brothers, a trip to West Point New York when he was a young man helped shape the direction of his life and in many ways his purpose. Four years after that first trip, Jim would return to West Point, this time as freshmen cadet or "Plebe". From these earliest moments, his natural desire to be a part of something bigger than himself was apparent, and many of the earliest connections he made remain the strongest of brothers to this day.Today, Jim shares stories of his time at West Point, of forging a life with his wife, and eventually entering civilian life. As life progressed, his path eventually brought him to Denver, Colorado, where he and his wife have continued to forge bounds with their local community. One of those connections presented Jim the opportunity to enter a whole new battleground in the real estate tech space with Get In Contract, a contract software that looks to bring the home purchasing process into the 21st century. GIC is revolutionizing the industry with the ultimate transaction hub for top real estate professionals in Colorado. Not only does it provide clients with a dramatically better experience, it also saves agents valuable time with powerful automation features, customized templates, and modern integrations. Jim's story, starts now... [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

Neymar Lopez is a force. Born and raised in Venezuela before eventually making her way to America and becoming a US citizen, she has experienced diversities in culture, energy, attitude and opportunity. She has lived through some of the most difficult challenges a person could face - including starting a new life in a new country, thousands of miles from home, and without the benefit of speaking the common, local language.Throughout Neymar's story, there are countless moments where she could have quit, dozens of challenges that could have driven a weaker person to their knees, and yet through them all she persevered. All of it lead to a thriving real estate business, where she leads the Colorado Collective at Compass in Denver. It lead her to meet her husband - me :) -  and begin a family with our beautiful daughter Venecia. And it lead to her finding the strength to inspire so many of the people around her in their pursuit of whatever the American Dream means to them.Her story, starts now...   [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

If you know nothing else about Garret Hurlbut, know that he sees and appreciates the life he has ten times more than he agonizes over opportunities missed or benefits never received. Growing up in a unique setting, living in two distinctly different neighborhoods at the same time as a kid, routinely being the family that lived without rather than the one overwhelmed with rewards, Garret learned how to appreciate the most simplistic gifts and to work for the things he wanted.The son of a painter, Garret learned his work ethic from both holding a paintbrush  and a basketball, as he and his brother enjoyed traveling to the most talented and rugged of local Denver courts. There, he loved the look on other players' eyes as they realized he could play... and play well. That work ethic guided his path to creating his own business while in college, and A Perfect Finish Painting was. As the years passed, Garret welcomed into his life three sons, and they are being raised by a unique and wonderful group of parents whose bond with each other and care for these boys is nothing short of miraculous. It has also enabled Garret to be what he calls the "Experience Parent," and introduced a world of adventure to his boys.It's a story you won't want to miss, and it starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

Eryn Henderson and I first connected in 2020 as she was beginning her career with Guide Real Estate (at the time BSW). Energetic, friendly and eager to learn, Eryn background in sales and her unique ability to connect with people rapidly allowed her to hit the ground running from day one and quickly became one of the brokerages most productive agents.In our earliest days of getting to know each other, what stood out to me about Eryn was her ability to bond with people in a variety of settings and in the most natural way possible. Whether it was an open house she was working, a happy hour at a neighborhood bar or a company event, she is extremely approachable and easy to talk to, and that trait shows through every client that enjoys working with her.  As she has managed learning a new craft and growing a business, she also enjoys her home life with her husband Mike, her daughter Aubrey, and there two adorable golden retrievers. In a business that does not always make balance possible, Eryn does all she can to keep the most important things in focus. Her story, starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

In what is the 97th episode of Mindset Matters, it is hard to put into words how impressed I was with Angelica Apel’s way of thinking and the conversation we had. From the confidence and conviction she has for her craft and her care for the people she works with, to her humble nature in accepting that there are bumps along every one of our roads, Angelica was kind enough to share some of the most important moments of her journey. Angelica is not the type of person who openly offers advice and guidance that she herself hasn't followed or experienced firsthand. From her intricate knowledge of the Highland and Wheat Ridge neighborhoods she grew up in, to taking on massive remodeling projects on a home, to creating and sustaining a business through changing markets, changing life stages and growing a family – her ability to relate to, understand and speak truth to the people she encounters is second to none. Time and time again during our conversation, Angelica showed a remarkable ability and self-awareness to put herself in another person’s shoes and to consider the emotions they must be feeling. Most impressive of all, she did so in the most human and non-judgmental of ways. You can genuinely hear and feel how much she cares for the people she surrounds herself with.Angelica’s story is also one of family. The Apel family is one of the most well known in real estate, and Nostalgic Homes (Compass) a staple of the very neighborhoods that Angelica calls home. The lessons she has learned from her family, including her mother Jenny, run deep – and she and her husband Paul are building on that tradition as they raise their two beautiful children. It is the real-time creation of tradition and legacy that many of us strive for – as told by a person who very much thrives seeing people find joy in their lives. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your story with me, Angelica!  You are amazing! [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

There are people who can claim to be adaptable, and then there are people like Kelly Reed who are ADAPTABLE. From moving dozens of times including from one US coast to the other and back, from experiencing different cultures, careers, spheres, and from handling real estate markets that have moved at break-neck speeds to one that slowed to a crawl for a moment, she has adapted.While her ability to accept and work through change is a strength she has leaned on, so too is the high level of character she has maintained thorugh out it all. One of the most well-spoken of realtors in the Denver area (which is how we connected in the first place), with the professional success and skillset to back it up, Kelly blends her skills in understanding people and the flow of the real estate business with her creative eye and strategy to give her clients the very best.On today's episode, Kelly was kind enough to share some of the most important chapters of her journey, and it is a story you will not want to miss!   [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

Mark Jacobsma has long been the type that will look at a challenge and embrace finding a solution. Never afraid to do the things that others might shy away from, Mark has found success in multiple careers and businesses and routinely found a way to make something work when others might have failed. This solutions-based mindset and caring demeanor has also served him well as he raises his daughter, and there is no role he takes more pride in than that of a father.A good spirited man with a great sense of humor, Mark jumped into real estate at a time where many would have encouraged him to run away, and rather than giving into that kind of fear, he dove in head first. Now as he grows as a professional and as a person, he is constantly looking for ways to improve in both areas. Today, I had an opportunity to sit down with Mark and hear a bit about his journey, the moments where he felt himself stumble and the moments when he got back up. It's a story you will not want to miss, and it starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280

David DiPetro is paisan (Italian for friend, brother, countrymen)... not just because we are both from Italian decent, but also because he is the type of person that makes people feel welcome, supported and liked. Often the biggest guy in the room, he has equally large dreams that include becoming on of Denver's most successful luxury realtors at Compass, while still connecting people at all levels and stages in their real estate process.It is for this reason that it is hard to find someone that doesn't have a kind and positive thing to say about him. He is who he says he is, in the best way possible. Always willing to help, always willing to share, always happy to see others rise as he does. Today, David was kind enough to share a bit of his journey, from the lessons he learned form his mother and father growing up, to his explorations into sales as an adult, to building a business simultaneous to meeting the love of his life and becoming a husband.His story... starts now. [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

Sam Hickman is as genuine a person as you will come across. A great blend of humble and confident, Sam grew up in the same Lakewood, Colorado neighborhoods I did, so it was only a matter of time before we sat down and chopped up life stories and how he came to be the man and professional he is.As his growth in the real estate world has picked up steam, Sam has maintained the person he is and his outlook on life. What else would you expect from a man who has always seemed to have a calming ability to recognize what opportunities and obstacles were long term and which were short. From Colorado, to Hawaii, to the Rocky Mountains and casino life back in Colorado, to a now thriving real estate business - Sam's seen a lot and lived even more.Today he was generous enough to share that story, and it begins... now!2 [email protected]: @jimmythesaint5280

Amy Robinson is a woman that embraces creativity, learning, challenge and growth. The youngest of 8 children, she grew up as her siblings did - competing in gymnastics - while enjoying the experiences of learning new things at one time considering a career in education.
