This one’s raw.

 Divorce. Debt. DoorDash deliveries to survive. And still… They refused to quit.

In this episode, Mike and Rachael sit down with Cory and Jessica—two real estate warriors who burned their lives to the ground… and built something legendary in the ashes.

They went from 50 deals a year to nearly broke overnight. Starting a new brokerage, ending toxic marriages, rebuilding family, and embracing faith—for the first time.

No plan B. No shortcuts. Just relentless consistency.

You'll hear:

  • Why staying “for the kids” is not always the noble choice
  •  How DoorDash and graveyard shifts funded their vision
  • The power of doing the boring shit no one sees—for months
  • Their journey back to faith after hitting absolute rock bottom
  •  What finally turned the corner and how they doubled again in 2024
  •  Their million-dollar GCI stretch goal for 2025—and why it’s within reach

This one is for the fighters. The rebuilders. The ones buried but not dead.

“Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to realize Jesus is the Rock.”

Cory said it—and you’ll feel it.

Let’s go.
