Your website might be beautiful and still not be working. This week, website developer and brand strategist Katy Martin of Joyful Design Co. joins Christine to make a case that surprises a lot of agents: content matters more than color.

Katy shares the simple litmus test for whether your headline is actually unique, why photography is the most important investment you can make in your site, and what a website is even for now that AI answers most questions before someone ever clicks through. You'll also learn how to read the story hiding in your website data, and the one thing to go check on your homepage today.

This conversation will show you how to make your website communicate, connect, and convert.

Most startup conversations happen after the success. This one's different. I'm sitting down with my two BKeeperAI co-founders, Laura O'Connor and Eric Hunsberger, right in the middle of our launch.

We get into where the idea actually came from (it starts with a box of receipts and a lot of dread), why we built an expense tool with no app to open — just text — and the one thing we decided we'd never compromise on, even though it costs more: real human support.

We also talk about the decision we debated longer than anyone would guess, the difference between tension and conflict on a founding team, and what success actually looks like 12 months from now. If you've ever wanted to build something - or you just dread tax season - this take a listen.

SEO might be the most misunderstood topic in real estate marketing, and honestly, a lot of what you've heard about it is either wrong or already outdated.

In this episode, Christine sits down with Emily Gertenbach, a content writer and SEO expert who has a lot to say about what's actually working in search right now and a lot to say about AI.

They break down what SEO really is in easy-to-understand terms, why your blog is more critical than ever, and what Google just said that essentially debunked the entire concept of "GEO" as a separate strategy. Emily also explains why AI-generated content is likely hurting your search performance rather than helping it, and what to do instead.
