   From the Ground Up: A Life in Custom Home Building with Matt Ellington

   "How long will it take, and what will it cost?" If you've ever thought about building a custom home, you've asked those questions. The honest answer is that they're simple to say and brutally hard to guarantee. We sit down with Matt Ellington, owner and Building Company President of AR Homes® Richmond (Ellington Custom Homes, LLC), to explain why: a single house depends on hundreds of people, from subcontractors and vendors to permits, inspections, and financing, plus the bigger forces no one...

   Home is Wherever Love is: The Story Behind Switching with Casie & Alley Woodfin

   A 10-year-old explains shared custody in a way most adults never do, and it lands right in the gut. We’re in the studio with my niece Alley and my sister Casie to talk about their children’s book Switching, inspired by Alley growing up with two homes, two families, and the emotional whiplash of loving both and missing both at the same time. If you’re parenting through divorce, co-parenting, or supporting a child who “switches,” this conversation gives you language you can actually use. ...

   The Privilege of Aging: Lessons from Life’s Journey with Sherry Beran

   Rightsizing isn’t really about getting rid of furniture, it’s about letting go of an identity and choosing what comes next. My guest is my mom and longtime business partner, and we get honest about what we’ve learned from years of helping people navigate aging, housing transitions, and the emotions that show up when a home becomes a museum of memories. We talk about why “55+” is too broad to fit real life, and why the housing market still misses a huge middle step between low-maintenance liv...

   Sailing Through Success: Art, Gratitude, and Real Estate with Doug Dorsey

   A 19% interest rate world sounds like ancient history until you hear what it taught Doug Dorsey about real estate, financing, and staying calm when the market feels impossible. We sit down with Doug to trace his path from an early career detour and a nine-month licensing wait to a long run built on steady work, strong relationships, and a deep belief that real estate is a mentor-driven profession. If you’re a new agent, a team leader, or a client who wants to understand what “good representat...

   Designed 2 Sell: The Art and Heart of Home Staging

   A house can be perfect on paper and still feel hard to buy. That’s the gap home staging fills, and it’s why we brought on Tammy Wilkerson, CEO and president of Design to Sell, to talk about what actually moves the needle when you’re selling a home in the Richmond, VA real estate market and beyond. We start with Tammy’s path: the kid who constantly rearranged her bedroom, the middle-child peacemaker who learned to negotiate, and the professional pivot from graduate school in clinical psycholo...

   AI and Real Estate: A Candid Conversation with ChatGPT

   Your next real estate advisor might not eat, sleep, or breathe and that’s exactly why we wanted to put ChatGPT in the guest seat. We get honest about how artificial intelligence is already influencing home searches, pricing expectations, marketing, lending, and the everyday decisions buyers and sellers make before they ever talk to an agent. We walk through the practical wins of AI in real estate: faster market analysis, smarter search tools, automated follow-up, and more personalized recomm...

   Taking Back Your Power: Insights into Homeownership

   The real estate market isn’t just “good” or “bad” right now. It’s confusing because it’s multiple markets happening at once, and the difference between a buyer’s experience and a seller’s experience can be night and day. I want to slow the noise down and talk about what’s actually driving today’s housing market, using real numbers and real-world patterns I see every day. We start with the uncomfortable stats that explain why so many people feel stuck: the net worth gap between renters and ho...

   What Do We Carry Into The Next Chapter

   Your kid is small until they’re suddenly not. I sat down with my 10-year-old son at the end of his lower school years, and what started as a simple check-in turned into a surprisingly honest conversation about growing up, letting go, and walking into middle school with confidence. We talk about what he loves right now (math, swimming, golf), what he’ll miss most, and why his school has felt like a “warm hug.” From morning handshakes at drop-off to wearing red sweaters for performances and fi...

   How An LVAD Turned Heart Failure Into Extra Time

   I’m sitting down with my father-in-law, Terry Krupp, a man who survived multiple heart attacks and then hit the moment most of us never truly imagine: left-side heart failure, a terrifying diagnosis, and a blunt choice from a heart-failure specialist. Surgery or hospice. Terry is alive today because of an LVAD, a left ventricular assist device, and he doesn’t treat that as a tragedy. He treats it like extra time he has to earn. We trace the full arc that led here: small-town Michigan, older ...

    A Master Hairstylist Shows How Trust Creates Confidence

    The salon chair is one of the last places left where people still exhale. I’m sitting down with master stylist Tony Miles to unpack why that happens and what it costs and gives back when your job is built on trust, touch, and being close to people’s real lives week after week. We talk about the unseen side of the service industry: why clients open up once they feel heard and seen, how personal space works, and what it means when a professional might be the only person who physically “touches...

    Stop Chasing The Lamborghini And Buy The House

    A messy start doesn’t disqualify you, it can be the thing that builds you. We’re joined by Josh Klemmer, a leader in the mortgage industry, to talk about what happens when you stop waiting for a perfect moment and start stacking tiny choices that compound over time. His journey runs from surfing and barely surviving school to finding purpose, building teams, and learning what real success feels like when it’s tied to service. We dig into mission-driven leadership at Movement Mortgage, includ...

    How A Health Crisis Rewrote A College Plan And Built A Stronger Mindset

    Aiden’s story doesn’t start with triumph. It starts with a summer job, a gym routine, and a sudden wave of exhaustion that made a reading passage feel impossible and a workout unbearable. What followed was a maze of appointments, conflicting opinions, and the kind of uncertainty that can swallow a high-achieving teenager whole. Naming it—dysautonomia likely triggered by mono and COVID—offered clarity but no shortcuts. So Aiden built a new playbook: protect his mind, listen to his body, and mo...

    Art, Ambition, And The Permission To Change

    What if the life you planned wasn’t the life that fit—and the pivot turned out better than your original dream? We sit down with artist and writer Colleen Hall to trace a fiercely intentional journey from bookish beginnings to bold murals in celebrity homes and royal spaces. Colleen opens up about the moment she realized she needed a “permission slip” to put herself back on the list, how a three-week retreat in rural France quieted the imaginary jury in her head, and why courage often looks l...

    Sisters, Sales, And Starting Over

    The glossy version of success leaves out the 3:30 a.m. drives, the thousand folded newsletters, and the sting of “you’re only as good as your last month.” We go there. As sisters who built careers in real estate and lending, we unpack how authenticity, boundaries, and grit power real reinvention—and why the myth of overnight success falls apart when you measure profit, purpose, and peace. We trace Casey’s winding path from early sales wins to a government internship with top secret clearance...

    From Cleft Palate To Community Builder: A Father’s Lifelong Service

    A childhood of surgeries and speech drills could have written a story of limits. Instead, we explore how those early challenges forged a mindset built on service, humility, and relentless follow-through—and how that mindset scaled from a single hospital room to a community-wide impact. Sitting down with my dad, we trace the arc from parochial school discipline to the Golden Rule culture at UCrops, where picking up a stray receipt and walking a shopper to the right aisle were non-negotiable ha...
