Is now actually a good time to buy or sell real estate?

Daniel Freeman sits down with residential real estate expert Kendall Baker to discuss why trying to perfectly time the market can keep buyers and sellers stuck. They break down today's changing market, interest rates, pricing, opportunity cost, and the difference between viewing a home emotionally and viewing real estate as an investment.

Kendall also shares her unconventional path from escrow and title to residential real estate—and how she built a career that gives her greater freedom to prioritize both her clients and her family.

Filmmaker, keynote speaker and athlete Sebastian Seigel joins Daniel Freeman for a wide-ranging conversation about what it actually means to build a wealthy life.

Sebastian shares why he believes fulfillment should come before money, how following the work you feel compelled to do can create unexpected opportunity, and why he has repeatedly been willing to risk everything to pursue what matters to him. Daniel and Sebastian explore grit, entrepreneurship, fitness, fatherhood, discomfort, intuition and the difference between accumulating money and having the freedom to truly enjoy your life.

From Sebastian's philosophy of "following your bliss" to Daniel's experience pushing through discomfort in jiu-jitsu, this episode challenges the idea that success is simply something you can measure in a bank account.
