## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Carpino—newest Wolfpack member and Carbon Collective founding leader—to unpack a journey every real estate agent needs to hear. Mike started exactly how he was told: door knocking 6–7 hours daily in Toronto. After a full year of grinding, he earned just $12,000. No mentorship, no strategy, no plan—just effort. But instead of quitting, he adapted. Over the next decade, Mike shifted from traditional prospecting to a YouTube-driven system that now generates highly analytical, high-trust clients who call him ready to work. He breaks down how he built "a business that calls him," his exact content buckets and funnels, and why hyperlocal videos outperform home tours in his market. Inside This Interview: • Breaking through limiting beliefs about age and credibility • Why door knocking failed—and what replaced it • How fatherhood reshaped his work-life balance • The YouTube funnels generating inbound clients • Reading analytics to decide what videos to make • Why local news beats home tours in Toronto • His brokerage shutdown and choosing eXp + Wolfpack • Best advice for plateaued or burnt-out agents If you're building a content-driven business or want to scale without burnout, this episode gives you the complete roadmap. 👉 Want help building your YouTube strategy?
