On the 245th episode of TOMCRE, Monte and CareyAnn celebrate nearly seven years of shows, reflect on how the podcast began as a radio program, and share hard‑won lessons from decades in real estate and mortgage. They unpack why what got you here won’t get you there, how to thrive in a shifting market, and why mindset and structure are non‑negotiable for long‑term success.

Monte also shares big personal news: he’s transitioning full‑time to Florida, staying active in real estate there, while Carrie Anne and CMG prepare to evolve and modernize the podcast with a new home base and expanded guest lineup. Through stories of resilience, community involvement, and relationship‑based business, this episode both honors the past and sets the stage for an exciting new chapter.
