Celebrating One Year of Hustle Humbly
We can’t believe it—it’s been one year of Hustle Humbly! This milestone feels surreal, and we’re thrilled to celebrate it with you. Over 54 episodes, we’ve shared our experiences, mindset tips, and systems for success in real estate, and we’re just getting started. Whether you’re here for real estate advice or the giggles, thank you for being part of our journey.
Funfetti Cake, Fork Clanks, and Podcast Beginnings
To celebrate this first birthday, we brought cake—though not the Funfetti Alyssa originally wanted. As we clink forks and sip our drinks, we reflect on how this all started. One year ago, we sat nervously at Ruby Slipper, launching Episodes 1 and 2, hoping for 200 downloads. Fast forward to today—we’ve hit over 56,000 downloads! We never imagined this many people would find value in what we share.

Educating the Public
We’re even creating Instagram graphics so you can quickly find what you need by topic. It’s all about making the podcast more accessible and helpful.
Listener Growth and Surprises
We’re constantly amazed by the support. New listeners find us daily and binge all the episodes. Some even quit their jobs after listening—true story! From being recognized in public to receiving heartfelt DMs, the response has been overwhelming and rewarding.
We also got our first (slightly creepy) fan email asking for more giggling and requesting only female guests. That’s when we knew we’d officially made it.
Our Favorite Episodes and Lessons Learned
Katie loves “Client Management” and “Investing for Beginners,” while Alyssa turns to “Bare Necessities” when she needs a mindset reset. Our mindset-focused episodes are always popular because they help agents get out of a funk and stay grounded.
One thing we’ve both learned? It doesn’t have to be complicated. The simplest tools and systems often lead to the most success.
Unexpected Podcasting Lessons
Before launching, we didn’t know how podcast stats worked—or what would come from it. What’s surprised us the most in one year of Hustle Humbly?
-
The supportive community across the U.S. (and beyond!)
-
How few guests we’ve needed—we just have a lot to say
-
How it’s improved our own real estate practices
-
The messages from listeners saying, “It’s like you’re in my head.”
And yes, we now cringe way less when we hear our own voices.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Hustle Humbly
So what’s next after one year of Hustle Humbly? Maybe live events (hello, Happy Hour with Hustle Humbly), more Q&A sessions, and yes, more giggles. Our dream guest? Gary V. (Episode 101, maybe?).
No matter what, our mission remains: to make real estate more professional, to share encouragement and real talk, and to remind you—you’re not alone in this business.
