Celebrating Five Years of Hustle Humbly
We can’t believe it’s already been five years of Hustle Humbly! What started as a quiet launch on August 19, 2019, has turned into a powerful community of real estate professionals looking for connection, systems, and sanity in a wild industry. In this milestone episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our journey and sharing real stories from the agents whose lives and businesses have been impacted by the podcast.
From 326 Downloads to Over 2 Million
We launched with no expectations—just a dream, a microphone, and a pain pill (thanks, Alyssa’s neck!). Our first episode hit 326 downloads. Now? We’ve passed over 2 million downloads. And we’ve never missed a Monday. Consistency matters, and it’s proof that steady, simple systems are what keep your business thriving long-term.
Real Agent Stories, Real Impact
This episode features emails and messages from listeners across the country—agents like James in Nebraska, who found us in real estate school, or Adrian in Colorado, who credited the podcast with helping her buy her dream… horses! From new agents to top producers, so many have found practical advice, motivation, and even healing in these weekly episodes.
Why Our Listeners Keep Coming Back
You told us what keeps you tuning in: the real-life tips, relatable stories, and encouragement to do real estate your own way. Episodes like “Selling Yourself as a New Agent,” “Working with Sellers,” and “What to Do When You’re New or Slow” continue to be some of the most downloaded and most shared. Our key themes—treating your business like a business, building systems, and staying true to yourself—are more relevant than ever.
The Power of Community Over Competition
Listeners say Hustle Humbly gives them permission to ditch outdated, pushy tactics and instead lean into authenticity. Whether you’ve been with us since episode one or found us recently, you’re part of the Hustle Humbly family. These five years of Hustle Humbly aren’t just about a podcast—they’re about building a movement that uplifts, supports, and strengthens real estate agents.
