Summary

Dalton is a realtor at CRS Belt Nichols — and the "bonus dad" to co-host Pat’s two boys. He and the guys cover his path from car sales to real estate, the mentors who shaped him, the realities of the sales grind (lead sources, pre-approvals, listing strategy), and some genuinely wild listing stories. Then the episode turns into its best self: an honest, moving conversation about co-parenting after divorce — how Pat and Dalton put their egos aside, backed each other up, and built a blended family the kids actually thrive in. What you’ll take away • How to co-parent after divorce without making the kids collateral — "put down your swords." • Why "if I hate my ex, I hate half my kids" reframes the whole thing. • The reality of the real-estate grind: mentors, lead sources, and running a real buyer consult. • A masterclass in ego, humility, and doing what’s best for the children.
