In this powerful episode of the R.E.A.L. Real Estate Agent Life Podcast, Shane and Duane sit down with Marine Corps veteran, former firefighter, and Montana brokerage owner Mark Kuhl — a man whose story redefines resilience, leadership, and culture.

From being homeless at 15, to being shaped by the Marine Corps, to becoming a firefighter for 20 years, to stepping into real estate and rebuilding a brokerage almost from scratch… Mark’s journey is a masterclass in grit, service, and conviction.

Mark shares:

• The accidental chain of events that pushed him into the Marine Corps, firefighting, and real estate
• How he and his wife Marcy went from 21 agents… to 3… and rebuilt a culture that thrives today
• Why the most successful brokerages hire slow, fire fast, and protect culture with everything
• How loyalty, faith, and family built one of Montana’s most respected real estate brands
• What it actually takes to lead people without burning yourself out
• How to coach, mentor, and elevate people using life skills—not scripts
• Why ambitious agents desperately need to “ask without fear”
• What compounding interest, father wounds, and Tony Robbins have to do with real estate success
• And the one leadership lesson he wishes he learned 30 years earlier

Whether you’re a seasoned broker, a new agent, or someone who’s clawing your way toward a better life…
Mark’s story will remind you that nothing is wasted. Every chapter prepares you for the next.

This is one of the most raw, real, and impactful conversations we’ve had on the show.

There’s a moment in every entrepreneur’s journey where they realize the goal isn’t just to make a living it’s to make an impact.

In this episode of R.E.A.L. Real Estate Agent Life, hosts Shane Kilby (Sweet Home Alabama) and Duane Murphy (Great State of Wisconsin) sit down with Pat Garrity, the Canadian powerhouse behind Trilliant Real Estate Group of Sylvan Lake, Alberta.

Pat has been selling homes and shaping lives since 2000. But this conversation goes far deeper than sales numbers. It’s about what really builds empires that last: discipline, community, and the courage to “master the mundane.”

💡 Pat reveals:

• How one piece of advice from his stepfather (Real Estate License #1 on the board!) changed his life.
• The single rule that keeps his marriage, team, and culture thriving: “Meet me at the 50-yard line.”
• Why focusing on people before technology saved his company’s soul.
• How he turned “boring discipline” into millions in production — and over $100,000 in local charity impact.
• The three timeless pillars that define every elite agent he mentors: Honesty. Competency. Care.

You’ll walk away inspired, recalibrated, and reminded that real success isn’t about the next shiny tool… it’s about the relationships you build, the people you serve, and the lives you change along the way.

Whether you’re a new agent, a seasoned leader, or somewhere in between, this episode will light the fire, sharpen your focus, and remind you why you started.
