#663: Co-Sponsorship, Collaboration & Crushing the Competition: The Future of Real Estate Growth

Episode Overview: In this no-holds-barred, no-guest-needed episode, John Kitchens is joined by powerhouse leaders Al Stasek and Jay Kinder to dive into one of the biggest updates in the EXP Realty ecosystem: co-sponsorship. They're breaking down exactly what this means, why it's a game-changing evolution in agent collaboration, and how it's going to unleash a new wave of growth, momentum, and shared success for the real estate industry. From the painful "figure it out" era of traditional brokerages to this new era of agent-centric innovation, the guys unpack why this shift matters for you—whether you're brand new, scaling a team, or ready to partner at a higher level. If you've ever felt stuck in a silo, on an island, or unsure how to scale your real estate business without burning out or burning bridges—this one's for you.
