Thursday’s RE Virtual Coffee Mastermind

šŸŽ™ This Week’s Virtual Coffee: Kristina Rowland

This week on Virtual Coffee, we’re welcoming back Kristina Rowland to build on her powerful AI conversation from last time, and she is diving into a topic that could completely reshape how you think about your business: The New Definition of Work in an AI World. If you have ever wondered what actually counts as ā€œworkā€ anymore when AI can draft, analyze, automate, and accelerate so much of what used to take hours, this conversation is for you. Kristina is going to challenge the old hustle model and help us reframe what high-value activity really looks like for modern agents. And we have some exciting news to share during this session that makes this conversation even more impactful, so you will definitely want to be there live.

FRIDAY - Thinking About Your Brokerage? This Is Worth a Look.

What if your brokerage actually gave back more than it took? On this week’s Brokerage Breakdown, we’re spotlighting a model that’s quietly solving three of the biggest pain points agents deal with every day. First, it includes healthcare coverage for agents at no monthly cost, giving peace of mind without the $700+ premiums many agents carry on their own. Second, instead of a cap that resets year after year, this brokerage rewards loyalty with a declining cap that drops the longer you stay, allowing more of your commission to remain in your pocket over time.

Finally, every transaction includes built-in transaction coordination at no extra cost, returning dozens of hours per deal that most agents spend buried in paperwork and compliance. This isn’t about flashy marketing or promises. It’s about math, time, and sustainability. If you’ve ever wondered whether your brokerage is actually helping you build a better business and a better life, this is a conversation worth exploring.

TODAY’S FEATURE:

ā˜• Let’s Have an Honest Conversation

For years, we’ve been trained to believe:

Busy equals valuable.
Overwhelmed equals successful.
Exhausted equals productive.

If you weren’t running from showing to showing, typing emails at 10:30 pm, and spending Sunday building social media graphics, were you even working?

Now enter AI.

Suddenly:
• Listing descriptions take 90 seconds
• Email drafts take 30 seconds
• Social posts take 2 minutes
• Market summaries are automated
• Follow-up sequences can be built in one sitting

So now we have to ask a slightly uncomfortable question:

If AI can do in 7 minutes what used to take you 3 hours…
what exactly is ā€œworkā€ now?

And that question is not scary.
It is wildly exciting.

šŸ”„ Busy Is Not the Badge of Honor Anymore

The old definition of work was manual effort.

Typing.
Formatting.
Researching.
Rewriting.
Reposting.
Repeating yourself 47 times in 47 different ways.

The new definition of work is leverage.

Deciding.
Strategizing.
Positioning.
Connecting.
Negotiating.
Leading.

AI is not taking your job.
It is taking your admin.

And I don’t know about you, but I am more than happy to hand over the tasks that drain my creative energy so I can show up fully where I actually matter.

🧠 The 4 Levels of AI Adoption (Where Are You?)

Let’s make this practical.

Level 1: AI as Assistant

You use it to draft emails, posts, listing descriptions.

Helpful. Efficient. Still manual.

Level 2: AI as Accelerator

You build templates.
You create repeatable prompts.
You repurpose one piece of content into five.

Now you are saving hours every week.

Level 3: AI as Strategic Partner

You use it to analyze market positioning.
You model offer strategies.
You map out client journeys.
You design systems instead of reacting to chaos.

Now you are building a business, not just surviving transactions.

Level 4: AI as Competitive Advantage

You create proprietary workflows.
You build automations.
You turn knowledge into scalable assets.
You stop trading time for everything.

This is where it gets fun.

Because the agents operating at Level 4 are not stressed.
They are powerful.

šŸ’¬ If AI Does the ā€œWork,ā€ What Do Agents Get Paid For?

Let’s be crystal clear.

Clients do not pay you to type.

They pay you for:

• Judgment
• Confidence
• Negotiation skill
• Risk management
• Emotional stability when deals get shaky
• Reading the room
• Knowing your market
• Protecting their money

AI cannot sit at a kitchen table with a nervous seller.

AI cannot sense when a buyer is about to panic.

AI cannot strategically structure an offer in a multiple-offer situation with nuance and local insight.

AI makes you faster.

It does not make you irrelevant.

In fact, it frees you up to be more human.

And that is where your real value lives.

🌊 The Agents Who Win This Era

The winners are not the loudest.

They are not the busiest.

They are not the most exhausted.

They are the curious ones.

The ones willing to experiment.

The ones who stop romanticizing burnout.

The ones who say,
ā€œI refuse to spend my energy on things a machine can do for me.ā€

In 2026, ā€œI’m so busyā€ will not impress anyone.

ā€œI built a systemā€ will.

And that is the shift.

šŸ‘€ Something Big Is Coming

This week’s Virtual Coffee builds directly on this conversation.

If you have been:
• Curious about AI
• Slightly intimidated by it
• Overwhelmed by where to start
• Or secretly thinking you are behind

You absolutely want to be there live.

We have some very exciting news to share that I think is going to make a lot of people breathe easier.

No spoilers.
Just trust me.

3ļøāƒ£ Post Idea: ā€œBehind the Scenes of Modern Real Estateā€

Headline:
Modern Tools. Human Guidance.

Caption Script:
Real estate has changed.

I use technology to streamline paperwork, analyze data, and monitor market shifts in real time.

5ļøāƒ£ Post Idea: ā€œWhy Experience Still Mattersā€

Headline:
Technology Can’t Replace Judgment

Caption Script:
There are more tools than ever in real estate.

But no technology can replace negotiation skill, local market knowledge, and the ability to read a situation in real time.

I use the best tools available to support your transaction.
But when decisions matter most, you have an experienced professional guiding you.

That combination wins.

✨ Final Thought

The future of work is not more hustle.

It is more clarity.
It is not more hours.
It is more leverage.

AI does not replace agents.
It replaces inefficiency.

And when you remove inefficiency, you create margin.

More margin for strategy.
More margin for leadership.
More margin for creativity.
More margin for life.

And that, my friends, is a very exciting definition of work.

How Jennifer Aniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads

For its first CTV campaign, Jennifer Aniston’s DTC haircare brand LolaVie had a few non-negotiables. The campaign had to be simple. It had to demonstrate measurable impact. And it had to be full-funnel.

LolaVie used Roku Ads Manager to test and optimize creatives — reaching millions of potential customers at all stages of their purchase journeys. Roku Ads Manager helped the brand convey LolaVie’s playful voice while helping drive omnichannel sales across both ecommerce and retail touchpoints.

The campaign included an Action Ad overlay that let viewers shop directly from their TVs by clicking OK on their Roku remote. This guided them to the website to buy LolaVie products.
