I Got Sick Chasing Deals — Here's What I Changed w/ Michael Coxen

Episode 831 Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Michael Coxen burned out chasing deals, ended up hospitalized with colitis, and then built his best business by becoming more mindful. Here's how.

In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Michael Coxen, Las Vegas real estate broker, investor, and host of The Mindful Agent Podcast, to explore the intersection of mindfulness, health, and business performance — and why intentional living turns out to be a better growth strategy than hustle.

Michael covers:

  • How ulcerative colitis hospitalized him multiple times and forced a complete reset
  • Why becoming more mindful was an accident — and how it led to his biggest career deal (a commercial office sale that came from a cycling group)
  • The five-minute meditation that changed how he screens clients and avoids bad deals
  • Why the gut feeling of dread before a deal is data, not weakness
  • The Hidden Messages in Water — the science behind why what you consume (media, food, relationships) affects your performance
  • How to hack your social media algorithm to feed you growth-oriented content instead of outrage
  • Why he gave up 50% of every commission to join a mentor's team — and why it was the highest-ROI decision he ever made
  • How his brokerage (Magenta) runs a CRM action plan with systems before, during, and after every deal
  • The "certified settlement statement in January" system that generates referrals without a sales pitch
  • Contract language that keeps deadlines off Sundays and holidays — protecting his agents' weekends
  • Why he'd rather someone bring a successful investor a deal and split it 50/50 than pay for a seminar
  • The Shadow Creek golf story: a $1,250 round, a stranger who paid for it, and the abundance mindset that makes it work

This episode is for:

  • Real estate agents and investors who feel burned out but keep pushing anyway
  • Anyone building a referral-based business and wants the systems behind it
  • Entrepreneurs interested in how mindfulness and intentionality affect performance — not just wellness
