If you’ve ever felt like real estate was taking more out of you than it was giving back, you’re not alone. Long hours, constant pressure, and the never ending chase for results can leave even the most driven people running on empty. Burnout creeps in quietly, and before you know it, your health, relationships, and love for the job start to suffer.

But what if there was another way? What if success wasn’t about doing more, but about doing things differently, listening to yourself, leaning into resilience, and building a business that works for you, not against you?

In this episode I chat to Chris Henry, who knows that story all too well. Starting his career in the trades before stepping into his mum’s real estate business in the Hunter Valley, Chris pushed himself hard in the early years. Chasing the big agent dream eventually landed him in hospital with burnout, forcing him to rethink what success really looks like. Today, he leads River Realty with a focus on people, culture and long term growth, and shares openly about the role of vulnerability, coaching and intuition in creating a more sustainable career.

“  A lot of people that I've noticed give up a little too easily on things. And they make some decisions in an emotional moment and completely blow up their current life because of an emotional reaction to something. And so I think over time get as much coaching and training as you can. If you are wanting to develop in real estate, then find a coach that resonates with you. And look at what you want to improve in and seek out those people that are good at those sorts of aspects of your career. Never stop learning and always be the student.” - Chris Henry

We cover:

• The signs of burnout and what happens if you ignore them, including the impact it can have on both your health and your business
• Why vulnerability is key to better leadership, and how being open and honest can strengthen your relationships with both your team and your clients
• How intuition helps you make the right calls in business and life, especially when the obvious answer isn’t always the best one
• The role of coaching and personal development in building resilience, and why it’s so important to keep investing in yourself along the way
• Why property management is such a strong foundation for future leaders, giving people real world skills they can carry into any area of real estate
• What it really takes to grow a business without losing yourself along the way, and how to stay true to your values while still chasing growth

I’ve been reflecting a lot on how overwhelming social media can feel when you’re running a property management or real estate business. There are so many platforms, each with its own quirks and audience expectations, that it’s easy to feel like you’re chasing your tail. That’s why I’ve learned to simplify the process by focusing only on the platforms that make the most sense for my audience and my energy. Rather than trying to be everywhere, I encourage you to pick two platforms where you can show up consistently and authentically. It’s about working smarter, not harder.

What I love most about social media is that it allows us to connect in such unique ways depending on the platform. Instagram, for example, is brilliant for showcasing stories and behind-the-scenes moments, while LinkedIn gives you a professional space to share insights and establish thought leadership. Facebook is still great for community engagement, and TikTok is a playground for creative, short-form content. Each one has its strengths–but the real key is making the platforms work for you, not the other way around.

In this episode of the Property Management Podcast, I share actionable social media strategies tailored for property management and real estate professionals. I explain the unique strengths of Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok, and why it’s best to focus on just two platforms that suit your audience and style. I also share practical tips for creating engaging posts, using tools like ChatGPT, and building authentic connections–all while balancing business growth with personal well-being.

Some moments in life stop us in our tracks. Whether it’s a personal challenge, a career crossroad, or a world event that shakes everything we know and it can make us ask: how do we keep moving forward? How do we not only survive the experience but find a way to create meaning, positive impact and legacy from it?

In difficult times, it’s often the response that can leave the biggest mark. These moments can call on us to find resilience in leadership, to adapt when change comes quickly, and to support those around us when they need it most. They also reveal the importance of purpose driven action, the kind of leadership that not only helps people through hardship, but also creates lasting impact and stronger communities.

In this episode I chat with Peter Baines who is a former NSW Police forensic investigator who worked on some of the world’s worst disasters, including the Bali bombings and Boxing Day tsunami. He went on to found Hands Across the Water, a charity supporting thousands of children in Thailand. Today, Peter is a sought after keynote speaker on leadership, resilience and social impact, and in 2025 was named one of the top five most influential Australians working in Thailand.

This conversation goes far deeper than recounting events. Peter reflects on what it really means to lead through a crisis, to find resilience when everything feels overwhelming, and how to act with purpose even when the path ahead is uncertain.

“ In my experience in crisis and disaster, true leaders are identified by their actions and their reactions. It's not the position that we hold, it's not the title that we have. It's what we do that matters” - Peter Baines

We cover:

• What crisis leadership really looks like in the moment and why leadership presence matters more than a title on your business card
• The lessons Peter took from working on the Bali bombings and the Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand
• What those global disasters taught him about change, speed and empathy in leadership
• What running 1,400 km across Thailand taught him about resilience, the fear of failure, and why breaking big goals into small steps is the only way through
• Why sustainable fundraising only works when there’s transparency and when supporters actually get something meaningful in return
• How Hands Across the Water and its charity bike rides in Thailand give everyday people the chance to grow, build real connections, and make a lasting impact for kids
