It’s the very human process of building something where the right to fail is what unlocks the ability to succeed. These conversations pull back the curtain on the pivots, the grit, and the lessons learned along the way. Because the truth is, most people feel lost long before they feel capable and these stories remind you you’re not alone.

Pods & Properties: Real Estate Myths and Podcasting Lessons

In September's episode of Pods & Properties, Todd dives into some of the biggest real estate questions we're hearing right now, including the rent-versus-buy debate, whether a housing crash is actually coming, and why online home value estimates don't always tell the full story.

On the podcasting side, Pod Savvy Guide shares how her approach to podcasting has evolved over the years, why consistency matters more than perfection, and how reconnecting with your original purpose can help you decide whether to keep going, pivot, or take a break.

Brandon & Michelle Barber | Building a Business You Love

What if the real risk in business isn’t failure but staying comfortable for too long? In this episode, we sit down with power couple Brandon and Michelle Barber to unpack what happens when certainty disappears, systems collapse, and entrepreneurs are forced to pivot or be left behind.

For more than 25 years, they’ve coached over one million people, created 100+ courses, generated $10M+ in revenue, and led hundreds of live events. But when COVID erased their entire in-person business model overnight, they had to confront a hard truth no system lasts forever.

In this conversation, Brandon and Michelle share the behind-the-scenes reality of rebuilding from scratch. They talk about surviving business plateaus, pivoting from live events to virtual programs, shrinking overhead without shrinking impact, and why adaptability is now a non-negotiable skill for entrepreneurs.

They also dive into what it’s like building a business as a married couple, the importance of masculine and feminine balance in leadership, and why creating courses isn’t just about income it’s about legacy. From automating evergreen programs to teaching others how to package their knowledge, they explain why they believe there’s a course inside everyone.

This episode is for entrepreneurs who feel stretched, stuck, or quietly wondering if there’s another way. It’s a reminder that discomfort often precedes clarity and that freedom is built through contribution, not comfort.

In this November episode of Pods & Properties, Steph and Todd break down how buyers are really feeling after the latest Fed meeting, why so many people are still sitting on the sidelines, and why new construction is one of the most underrated opportunities in today’s market.

Pods & Property | Wholesalers, Netflix, and the Golden Globes

Pods & Property | Wholesalers, Netflix, and the Golden Globes

This month on Pods and Property, Steph Shoell and Todd “Utah Todd” Porter tackle two major topics: why homeowners feel trapped by low mortgage rates, and how podcasting is emerging as a force on Hollywood’s main stage.

Todd explains how low interest rates are keeping many Baby Boomers from selling, creating a tight housing market but he urges homeowners to run the numbers before assuming they’re stuck. He shares how mindset can reveal opportunities, even in challenging markets, reminding us that the Great Depression produced more millionaires than any other time before it.

Meanwhile, Steph dives into Netflix’s plans to explore podcasting, possibly competing with YouTube and Spotify. She also highlights the Golden Globes’ new podcast category coming in 2026, predicting it will raise the bar for top creators while leaving room for smaller voices to shine.

Back in real estate, Todd shares his concerns about wholesaling, warning homeowners that it often costs them money. Steph shares a personal story of how avoiding wholesaling added $100,000 to her family’s home sale.

Todd wraps up with advice for sellers: digital marketing is essential to get your listing in front of thousands of buyers.

Episode Highlights:

  • High interest rates are locking many homeowners in place, but running the numbers might reveal options.
  • Mindset matters even in tough markets; there’s an opportunity for those who look for it.
  • Netflix is exploring podcasts, aiming to compete with YouTube and Spotify.
  • The Golden Globes will add a Best Podcast of the Year category in 2026.
  • Wholesaling often leaves homeowners with less money; working with a good agent can protect their interests.

Caleb David | From Overachiever to Aligned

Most of us are great at creating space for others but when was the last time you created space for yourself?

In this powerful episode, commercial real estate broker and former nonprofit leader Caleb David shares what it’s really like to hit burnout, lose momentum, and claw your way back to clarity not through hustle, but by slowing down and listening.

With a background in global humanitarian work and a passion for helping small businesses feel like they belong, Caleb opens up about what it means to truly serve without losing yourself in the process.


We cover:

  • How burnout nearly ended his business

  • The daily practices that helped him regulate anxiety (including tapping + nature resets)

  • Why “good enough is good enough” is a game-changing mindset

  • How to stay grounded when real estate deals fall through

  • Building a business around belonging instead of pressure

  • The myth of balance and what to do instead

That can only last so long before you burn out. What changed? I stopped striving from fear—and started creating from peace." -Caleb DavidWhether you’re building a business, starting a side hustle, or just trying to stay afloat remember, action doesn’t have to be perfect to matter. Create space. Breathe. And when in doubt? Laugh, tap it out, and get back to your center.

Ryan Pilkington | Turning Pain into Purpose

Ryan Pilkington | Turning Pain into Purpose

Graphic designer. Podcaster. Mentor. Advocate.

Ryan Pilkington wears many hats—and every one of them was shaped by pain, resilience, and a relentless drive to create.

In this week's episode of Idiot to Genius, Ryan opens up about being bullied as a child, using art as his escape, and eventually building a thriving design career rooted in purpose. His story reminds us that our lowest moments often plant the seeds for our greatest impact.

It started in church. As a young kid, Ryan found peace by doodling during services. What started as scribbles turned into logo concepts for imaginary businesses. After severe bullying in middle school, Ryan turned further inward—but those moments of solitude became his creative foundation.

He later pursued his degree in graphic design, worked with print shops, and launched t-shirt brands like Bomb Diggity Tees and Advocatees, a social impact initiative empowering youth through design.

Whether designing CBD packaging seen on retail shelves or developing youth-focused nonprofit initiatives like Logo for Loves, Ryan's work always circles back to one theme: helping others. He now sits on the advisory board for suicide prevention nonprofit A Promise to Live and is passionate about turning design into impact.

"You have to choose your hard," Ryan said. "And I choose this."

Ryan's journey hasn't been linear. There have been layoffs, setbacks, and moments of self-doubt. But in early 2024, he attended a Tony Robbins seminar that reignited his fire. Since then, he's landed 10 new clients, refined his brand offering, and doubled down on his mission.

His next big goal? Hit $10K in monthly revenue and build a creative team that shares his heart for mentoring young entrepreneurs.

"Know your why. And make sure it's more than just money," Ryan shares. "Mine is to change lives—to bring smiles and hope to people who are struggling."

You can follow Ryan's work here:

Utah Fan Club Podcast

Utah Fan Club Podcast

In this episode of the Utah Fan Club, Steph sits down with Mars Teny, the dynamic founder of MarsCom, a Utah-based telecom company that helps businesses install, manage, and support professional phone systems. Mars shares the unexpected journey that led her from working in tech sales at Wells Fargo to starting her own business with just $76 in hand.

Mars opens up about how her entrepreneurial spark ignited while facilitating a self-reliance group at church. Surrounded by others starting businesses, she became inspired to start one herself. The timing felt right—both she and her husband were feeling the weight of high-pressure sales jobs and wanted more time with their kids. Her first major business moment came on a field trip to Mrs. Cavanaugh’s Candy Factory, where she told the owner how inspiring their story was. That conversation led to her very first sale.

Throughout the episode, Mars and Steph discuss the growing pains of starting a business. Mars candidly recounts the stress of accidentally losing a client’s 1-800 number during a porting process—an error that taught her a valuable lesson and showcased her determination when she drove to the business that had unknowingly acquired the number and got it back. She also reflects on early days when she went above and beyond at client installs, even crawling through insulated ceilings—something she later learned was definitely outside the scope of her responsibilities.

Mars explains how the telecommunications space has changed, especially with more people working from home. She breaks down the benefits of having a business phone system that works through an app on your phone or desktop. For solo entrepreneurs or small teams, this allows for professional call routing, business texting, voicemail transcription, and keeping personal and business communication separate. Mars emphasizes that this system protects business continuity—if an employee leaves, the phone number and all its associated business relationships stay with the company.

As the business grew, Mars and her husband tag-teamed MarsCom’s operations, allowing one another to alternate between growing the company and maintaining steady income. COVID accelerated the demand for VoIP solutions, enabling MarsCom to expand its services and staff. Now with seven employees, MarsCom continues to prioritize a culture of flexibility and balance. Whether it’s supporting a client from a child’s baseball game or juggling work with school, Mars wants her team to “win at life” while still upholding high standards for client care.

To wrap up the episode, Mars encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to simply start. Whether it's a networking event or a class, she advises people to get out there, share what they’re doing, and push through the awkward moments. Growth comes from showing up—and she’s living proof of where those first steps can lead.

  • Collaboration beats competition in the podcasting world—your network is your net worth.

  • Real estate sales may be down, but long-term growth potential is strong—smart buyers will stay in the game.
