Flashback Series –Balancing Being a Rock Star Real Estate Agent and a Teacher – Double Duty for 18 Years with Jason Smith

As we continue celebrating the Double Duty Agent Podcast’s upcoming one-year anniversary, we’re flashing back to one of the most unforgettable and inspiring stories from our first season: my conversation with Jason Smith.

Jason is a top-producing agent at Keller Williams Legacy Group in Richmond, Kentucky, and for nearly two decades, he’s also been a full-time school teacher. That’s right—Jason has been doing double duty for 18 years and crushing it in both careers. This episode is one I often prescribe to my coaching clients, especially when they’re struggling to believe that success is possible with limited time or competing responsibilities. Because Jason is proof that it absolutely is.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Jason leveraged his network in education to build a strong real estate business
• Why continuous learning (especially with KW’s training) was a game-changer in his growth
• The role strategic brokerage selection played in supporting his dual-career lifestyle
• How he built and maintained a thriving database while balancing teaching and real estate
• The systems, assistants, and automation tools that made his success sustainable
• How he uses time blocking to manage both careers without burning out
• The power of resilience, patience, and staying focused on personal growth
• Why Jason stopped comparing himself to others and started doubling down on what worked for him
• His positive, client-first mindset—and how that mindset has kept him consistent and thriving
• And how embracing change and innovation helped him work smarter, not harder

Jason’s story is a masterclass in mindset, strategy, and sustainable growth. Whether you're working full-time, raising a family, or simply wondering if you’ve got what it takes to make real estate work for you—this episode will give you the belief and the tools to move forward.

And don’t forget—we’re counting down to our official anniversary episode on May 15th, featuring a very special surprise guest to help us kick off Year Two in a BIG way. You’re not going to want to miss it, so make sure you’re subscribed.
