Description

In this episode, Michael opens up about the raw realities behind elite performance: the setbacks, the lessons, and the power of principled leadership. We unpack how he built Clarke & Humel with his wife and business partner, Cherie, why most agents are marketing to the wrong people, and how deep work, humility, and long-term thinking are the real keys to success.

  • ​The secret to building trust with prestige clients

  • ​How to crack the luxury market without faking it

  • ​The mindset shift that separates good agents from elite ones

  • ​Why success is not about flash—but about discipline, service, and self-awareness
