If you're in the real estate business, especially investment side, and you need a platform that can run your real estate business and talk to leads through AI when you're not able to talk to them and can qualify and get to all the leads you can't get to.
Plus, it has an amazing piece of technology with it called Lead Detector that helps get all the people that come to your site and not opt in to opt in to turn into a lead. These are my good friends at Rocketly.ai. I'm part of this company as well. I use it to run my real estate business, my real estate investment business.

Chapter 3: What challenges did Austin face in his real estate career?
So thank you so much. And again, as every episode, my goal is to bring you people on here who are going to talk about money, talk about things that we've never been taught about correctly. That's why we call this Wake Up to Wealth. So today I've got one of my EXP brethren here, Austin Chevron. And what's cool about him is he wrote a book, which we'll talk about later.
That has to do with stewardship of money and wealth, which you guys know as a as listeners of the show, I'm a huge believer in. And, you know, trainer, investor, agent, team leader, you know, just very a lot of similarities. So I appreciate you coming on the show today. Thank you.

It's funny. I was just working on this yesterday. It's like, well, who, who am I today? And who am I going to be tomorrow is different than who I was last week and last month. So, um, starting, starting off, I've been around real estate since I was six. My dad's been a real estate agent manager of, uh, he was a manager of the largest Coldwell banker office in the nation when I was growing up.

Chapter 4: How does Austin define financial stewardship?
So, uh, Only thing I know is real estate agents, everything, houses, financials, everything in the real estate industry is my background. Licensed when I was 20, so I'm 41, so 21 years licensed. It's the only job I think I've ever had. Yeah. And I started buying, I bought my first house when I was 18 in high school, which puts me in a little different position.
So bought first house in high school, bought six rentals from 19 to 22, and then got out of it. Started selling real estate at 28. I did so well, I put myself on welfare, which is, it's like real estate let me sit there for six years before it kicked me, kicked me right in the face and the teeth.
Yeah, yeah.
I picked up, picked myself up within four years after that. I was one of the top agents in the state of Indiana. Then stopped doing that to build a team, built one of the top teams in the country and then shut that down. And today I'm just all in on training and helping and coaching. I started building my portfolio back five years ago again and went from zero to about 50 homes in three years.
Just had just straight gas, dude. Just And so now we sit in the investor world, the coach, trainer, author, now speaker. It's kind of, you know, at 41, that's where we're at. So, and I've quit essentially everything else.

Chapter 5: What strategies did Austin use to build his real estate portfolio?
I don't sell real estate anymore. I shut down the team last year. I'm just helping people now and then managing my own money, which is the ultimate job, I think, is just managing your own wealth and then helping people.
Yeah. So interesting enough, there's a couple of things I want to get into with you today. But so I just I'm just always fascinated by entrepreneur stories. So you said I built one of the top teams and I shut that down last year. There's a lot to unpack there. Why? Yeah. Well, I mean, I get it. Right. But I want to hear it from you because, you know, again, there's there's no wrong or right.
It's what's right for you. And but I do want to mention something. If you're running a real estate team, you're listening to this. There's a lot of people that I'm talking to right now, and I'm sure you are too. They built a version of a real estate team that they thought they wanted and they've ended up figuring out that they don't.
And a lot of it was based on, I sat in a room or I heard somebody speak on stage and, you know, I copied what they were doing, which wasn't necessarily for that specific person. And it's just interesting that you said that.
Chapter 6: What are the common mistakes people make with money?
And I'd love for you to touch on that.
Yeah, I think – so the core of everything we're going to talk about around this has to do with vision. And without a vision, people perish. Yeah. So with vision, everything becomes clearer. Options that you didn't think existed start to exist once you get the vision. And so when I – I think it was Robbins who taught me, Tony –
who taught me to think about, is this thing going to be in your life and time? And it might've been Maxwell influenced too with his book, Failing Forward. And it's like, so if I go to, if I go to anybody here, anybody listening, if you think about your life, what you currently have in it, do you see having it forever? Great point.
I could be having my real estate forever and giving it to my kids where it's in a trust, it's doing its thing, you know?
Yeah.
And, but I don't see having my real estate team when I'm 90. So what that means is that thing in my vision is going to come to an end. Let's just get there. It's going to come to an end at one point. So then the question is, is why not now? Why not next year? Why not five years?

Chapter 7: Why is understanding vision important in managing wealth?
So what is this purpose of this thing in my life? And Robbins was the one that taught me about seasons. And I've just come, being in Northern Indiana, we get all four seasons. I've come to the realization, like, everything's a season, dude. And some people stick around in the winter way too fucking long. It's like, let the winter go, man. Put your bathing suit on. You don't need the shovel.
Drop the shovel. It's nice out. And, and so it's a season. So just what I got to is I got to the realization and it was tough dude, because we crushed it.
Yeah.
I mean, 25 agents were top five teams at EXP. We never bought a lead. Only thing I did was just poured into these 25 agents. Essentially they were my coaching platform.
Yeah.
Yeah. And I poured my ass off into them, teaching them how to live a better life, fight personally, how to handle their business like a business, and then how to treat their financials.

Chapter 8: What insights does Austin share about writing his book?
And it just grew, dude. And it grew, not in terms of people, but in terms of production. And then I'm like, we recorded a... I put in, I flew 80 of my friends from across the country. I put $2.2 billion of sales in one room for two days. We recorded everything I knew about my team. And now I had it to share with the world. And I'm like, I don't need the team anymore. And so we shut the team down.
I took the extra time and energy. And now we invest it to people all over the world. And it's a better use of my time and my skills and my abilities. no differently than when I sold real estate and then I ran a team, my, my impact went up.
It's interesting. Number one, you had the guts and the foresight to do it, but I think it's, it's interesting of your analogy and correlation is, is this going to be in my life forever? That's a powerful statement. I think, yeah, I think more people need to do that more often. Right.
You know what I mean? We live on the front end. You can probably attest to anybody who has a team or wants to start a team. It's like, well, tell me the vision of why. I want to start a team.
why how is that i know i'm just saying it's like oh sounds cool i want to be on yeah like i want i want to be the guy now yeah right like i want to make the money i want to be the guy i want to be on the billboard right but but the same is true that once again without a vision people perish without the vision to start that's one half but then what's the vision to stop sure
And no one ever asked that question. No one. I mean, I remember when Leo calls me up, I'm like, Hey, I'm gonna shut down the team. He's like, dude, you don't even do anything. It just, you just do nothing. And you guys do well. Like, what are you quitting? I'm like, I can't have the one more thing on my brain. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, that's very, you know, it's so, you know, coaching people a lot of times too. I'm actually glad you brought that up because the most people where they make a mistake is where you didn't, but it's like, Yeah, but it doesn't really take a bunch of my time. It doesn't. And what they don't realize or understand is the brain space that actually does take, right?
It's taking up space in your brain. Even if you don't, if it's not on the peripheral, it's in your subconscious, it's eating, it's eating up time in your brain and it's eating up space. And that's the one thing when I coach people a lot of times and they're like, well, and I'm like, you need to get, you need to get out of that and get rid of that.
yeah, but it doesn't really take me a lot of time. And I'm like, bullshit. It's taking you more time than you think. And it's taking more brain space than you think.
