#240: Beyond the Grind – Byron Thompson on Beating Burnout in Real Estate
In this powerful live episode from an Omaha REIA event, Byron Thompson, co-owner of Meraki Realty Group, pulls back the curtain on the real estate hustle and shares how to build a seven-figure business without burning yourself to the ground.
Byron walks through his personal journey—from sleeping on the floor with -$17 in his bank account to running one of Omaha’s top-performing brokerages. But this isn’t just a rags-to-riches story—it’s about what happens when success isn’t enough.
He breaks down the four burnout traps that every investor and agent eventually faces:
- The Knowledge Gap Trap
- The Mirage Trap
- The Hustle Trap
- The Illusion of Control
Each one comes with a hard-learned story and real-world solutions. Whether you’re stuck in the grind, on your first flip, or managing a growing team, this episode will hit home.
Byron’s authenticity, humor, and raw honesty lit up the room—and now, it’s your turn to hear it.
🎙 Want to hear what one of the best live speakers at Omaha REIA sounds like? This one’s worth the replay.
