## Resource

Forward One podcast hosts Paul Mark Morris and Josh Spitzen reunite with realtor and leader Daryl Owen, who describes getting licensed at 19 while running a Papa John’s, buying an early rental, and adopting system-driven sales habits. After a severe head trauma at 20, he outworked limitations by hand-dialing 500 cold calls a day in a suit, learning a buyer-heavy model, and using simple lead magnets like PennySaver ads to sell homes and small multifamily deals. He shares how a mindset shift led to consistent production, why he left a successful Century 21 office to pursue leverage and ownership, and how he built Nationwide Real Estate to 1,000 agents across nine locations with franchise-style economics. The conversation contrasts brokerage vs. team value, emphasizes CRM-driven follow-up and off-market databases, outlines his 18-person 50/50 team model built from Ben Kinney systems, and ends with a rapid-fire on ownership, peace, childhood memories, and insecurities. *Daryl Owen* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darylrowen/ Website: https://www.zillow.com/profile/Daryl%20Owen *More from Paul & Josh* Paul: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ Josh: https://www.instagram.com/spitzenjosh/ Forward One Media: https://www.instagram.com/forwardonemedia/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@forwardonepodcast *Presented by Forward One Real Estate* https://www.,forwardone.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forwardonerealestate/ Timestamp: 00:00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:00:29 From Pizza to Realtor 00:02:03 Systems Over Sales 00:04:56 Building Nationwide 00:05:34 Trauma and Cold Calls 00:08:52 First Deals Breakthrough 00:11:43 PennySaver Lead Magnet 00:14:04 Process and Numbers 00:16:02 Burnout and Reset 00:20:49 Old School Execution 00:25:10 Team Dialing Scripts 00:27:…
