Committed to the Industry: Taylor Humphrey on Leadership That Lasts in Homebuilding
What does it really mean to commit to an industry?
In this episode, Taylor Humphrey, Vice President of Pacesetter Homes Texas, joins David Hagan for a thoughtful conversation on leadership, trust, and long-term commitment to the homebuilding industry.

Drawing from his experience leading sales teams, he reflects on how commitment builds trust, strengthens culture, and ultimately shapes the future of homebuilding.
One insight from the conversation captures it best:
"Leadership isn't about controlling outcomes. It's about committing to the process."

You Have More Control Than You Think — Rachel Starratt on Mindset, Leadership, and Life
What happens when life takes away your sense of control—and gives it back in an unexpected way?
In this deeply moving episode of It's Not That Complicated, David Hagan sits down with Rachel Starratt, Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Red Door Homes of the Carolinas, for a conversation that goes far beyond sales strategy.
Rachel shares her journey through burnout, motherhood, leadership in a challenging housing market—and an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis that changed how she sees everything. What emerged from that season wasn't fear or retreat, but clarity. A renewed sense of agency. And a powerful realization: while we can't control everything in life or business, we do have control over our mindset, our narratives, and how we choose to show up.
Together, David and Rachel explore why mindset isn't motivational fluff, why follow-up is really leadership, and how the stories we tell ourselves quietly shape our results—at work and at home.
This episode is honest, grounding, and deeply encouraging for anyone navigating pressure, uncertainty, or quiet exhaustion.
