Surrendering Success: Lessons in Letting Go, Coaching & Building a Business That Lasts
July 22, 2025
Today I have the joy of sitting down with two of my very best friends—John and Kaylee Powers. These two are not only incredible real estate professionals here in Virginia Beach, but they’ve also played a huge role in my life—including the small detail of introducing me to my wife! John and Kaylee lead a thriving husband-and-wife real estate team that’s evolved through many seasons—navigating leadership transitions, raising four young kids, and learning how to build a values-driven business. In today’s conversation, we explore their leap of faith into real estate, the entrepreneurial curveballs they faced early on, and how their marriage and business partnership has grown through both challenges and coaching. We also talk about the importance of focusing on relationships over transactions, why they chose to invest in life coaching alongside real estate coaching, and the spiritual perspective that now grounds their definition of success. Whether you’re leading a team, running a business with your spouse, or thinking about taking a big leap of your own—there’s so much wisdom in John and Kaylee’s story. So with that introduction, I hope you enjoy this episode of the Real Estate Success Podcast with John and Kaylee Powers.
