Every day, something is playing in the background of your life.

Music. News. Conversations. The environments you move through.

Whether you realize it or not, all of it is shaping your energy.

This episode of Life at Ten Tenths, sparked by a story from longtime friend and agent Mike Doyle, looks at how music, media, and everyday inputs quietly influence mood, decision-making, patience, and performance. Not in a dramatic, overnight way—but in the subtle, cumulative way that shows up in how you feel and how you show up.

This episode isn’t about eliminating the world around you. It’s about becoming more intentional with what you allow in—and how you respond to it.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. How background inputs shape your emotional state
2. Why music is such a powerful energy regulator
3. The impact of news and noise on focus and mindset
4. How to “crowd out” negative energy with better inputs
5. Simple ways to choose a soundtrack that supports the life you want

If you’ve ever wondered why some days feel aligned and energized—and others feel heavy for no clear reason—this episode will help you see the pattern.

🎧 Listen in, and start choosing your soundtrack with intention.

When a home isn’t selling, it is easy to blame marketing, photos, showings, or the market. But often, the biggest obstacle isn’t any of those things. It may simply be "the seller may be the highest bidder on their own home".

This conversation isn’t about blame or pressure. It’s about clarity.

You’ll learn how pricing becomes emotional, why sellers often anchor to past value or future hopes, and how great agents help sellers see the market clearly—without damaging trust or relationships.

This conversation gets into:

1. What it really means when a home isn’t getting traction
2. Why sellers sometimes “outbid” the market without realizing it
3. How to reframe price conversations with empathy and confidence
4. The difference between supporting a seller and enabling denial
5. How honest guidance builds long-term credibility and referrals

This episode is for agents who want to lead with professionalism, courage, and care—especially when conversations get uncomfortable.

🎧 Listen in and learn how to guide sellers forward without burning trust.

Vision boards aren’t just a New Year’s tradition. They’re a tool for transitions, new beginnings, and moments when you’re ready to realign—no matter what month it is. In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett are joined by special guest Jocelyn Frey for a real-life conversation about why vision boards actually work—and why they continue working even when you stop consciously thinking about them. Through Jocelyn’s story of travel, major life moves, and bold decisions, this episode explores the quiet power of environment, awareness, and intention. Not in a flashy, “manifest overnight” way—but in a grounded, practical way that plays out over time. This conversation reframes vision boards as something far more useful than a once-a-year exercise. They’re a way to give your mind direction during moments of change—when you’re stepping into something new, letting go of something old, or simply ready for a reset. We get into: - Why vision boards influence decisions subconsciously - How environment shapes behavior and confidence - Why you don’t need perfect clarity for a vision board to work - The difference between forcing goals and allowing direction - How intention plus action creates momentum over time - This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads—or quietly feeling the pull toward something more. 🎧 Listen in, and remember: clarity doesn’t always come before action. Sometimes it shows up because you took it.
