Eli Jones joins Todd and Craig for a conversation about building a real estate media business that actually supports the life you want—not one that simply keeps you busy.

Ahead of REPP 2026, Eli talks about why getting around other business owners matters, the balance between doing the work and stepping back to ask what you’re actually building, and why the hard things you choose today can create more freedom tomorrow. They also dig into this year’s REPP framework—design your future, build the roadmap, and commit to action—and why sometimes getting out of the daily grind is exactly what you need to start dreaming again.
