Matt talks about a career that follows you home, then asks Charlie whether the phone gets more attention than the family.
Recorded in June 2023. Matt’s career advice describes his experience then, not a guarantee of results.
Charlie Rhine is Matt’s son, and this was his first visit to the podcast. He gives Matt a candid, sometimes funny family perspective on a job that can follow a parent home.
Between their father-and-son exchanges, Matt shares what he has learned about building a real estate career while making room for family. Charlie returns at the end with an honest review of the experience—and a promise to come back.
