Über diesen Titel

Not Subtle, Seen is not your safe, polite business podcast. It’s where real estate pros, entrepreneurs, and industry insiders come to hear the wins, fails, and unfiltered truths nobody else will say out loud.

This show is bold, witty, and unapologetically direct — breaking down the strategies that actually work while laughing at the chaos, clichés, and cringe moments that everyone pretends don’t happen.

If you’re tired of sugarcoated advice and corporate fluff, pull up a chair. You’ll get sharp insights, laugh-out-loud stories, and conversations that keep it real, valuable, and just the right amount of petty.

Not nice. Not watered down. Not Subtle, Seen.

    Feb 6 2026

    In this episode of Not Subtle. SEEN., we get brutally honest about burnout, discipline, and why your health directly impacts your income.

    Coach Noreen joins us for a real, unfiltered conversation about why motivation fades, why fitness isn’t about being skinny, and how small, consistent habits change everything—from energy and focus to confidence and deal flow.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Burnout quietly destroys performance
    • Discipline matters more than motivation
    • Health drives clarity, confidence, and consistency
    • You don’t need extreme routines—just repeatable habits
    • Your future success depends on today’s health choices

  • Cold Calls = Closed Deals: How Top Producers Actually Win | Doug Smith | Smith Lending
    Nov 25 2025

    Cold Calls = Closed Deals, and this episode proves it.

    Mel & KJ sit down with top-producing lender Doug Smith of Smith Lending for a sharp, hilarious, no-excuses breakdown of the one habit agents avoid the most… and the one that actually grows a business: picking up the phone.

    Doug shares how he went from answering phones as a receptionist to building a multi–million dollar lending company rooted in consistency, relationships, follow-up, and actually doing the work. From his early industry days to his current life of kids, cows, and closings on 40 acres — this episode is packed with real strategy and real talk.

    We dig into: • Cold calling and why agents run from the phone • The follow-up muscle (and why yours is weak) • Why your CRM isn’t the problem • Calendaring like a top producer • The difference between “busy” and “productive” • How Doug built a referral-driven business from scratch • Life, family, boundaries, and taking calls next to the cows • Market noise vs. real-world reality

    If you’ve been feeling stuck, unmotivated, disorganized, or overwhelmed — this one will snap you out of it.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Cold calling still works — most people just refuse to do it.
    • Busy does not mean productive.
    • Consistency beats talent every time.
    • Follow-up isn’t annoying; disappearing is.
    • Simple systems outperform complicated ones.
    • Your calendar predicts your paycheck.
    • Market predictions don’t matter if you’re not making calls.

    GUEST BIO — DOUG SMITH

    Doug Smith is the founder of Smith Lending, a high-performance, relationship-driven mortgage company based in Florida. Starting as a receptionist in 2012, Doug learned the lending world from the inside out and now runs a referral-first business closing nearly 200 loans in 14 months. Known for elite communication, relentless follow-up, and straight-up hustle, Doug brings clarity, simplicity, and realness to an industry full of noise.
