Episode 247 (Season 7, Episode 15)

Season 7 Outro

What a Season 7 it has been! The Boom Team entered the season asking an age old question:  Can you actually be happy in real estate? And, by the end of the season, they proved you truly can be happy in real estate!

The truth is you CAN be happy in real estate, but it doesn’t mean that it will just magically happen for you. It will take work, focus, and dedication. But if you plan properly, you too can be happy in real estate!

Thank you for joining us for another dynamite season of advice, thoughts, and shenanigans! We enjoy what we do and hope you find joy in what you do as well! The whole Boom Team hopes you reach all of your real estate goals this year—all while experiencing the true joy of a well rounded life! Hoots to you!

Working Out

All the studies show that listening to the Boom Real Estate Podcast has the same physical benefits of a 30-minute circuit training session with THE premiere personal trainer. However, since the podcast only comes out once a week, we’ll need to fill the other six days a week with actual physical workouts. Whether or not you choose to workout with a personal trainer is up to you.

Join the Boom Team as they work up a sweat talking through all the benefits, dynamics, and how-tos of a solid workout. Sure, we’ll take a couple of rest breaks for Producer Christian’s winnings, Terry’s hate issues, Megan’s grace, and Todd’s first mini-stroke, but the rest of the show is pretty intense. If you have a heart condition, please proceed with caution. If you have a heart monitor, strap it on!
