Kendal started in the mortgage business in 1997 at the age of 20. Attended Southern Nazarene University at the time and got a part time job with The Associates Financial Services making $9.50 per hour plus some production bonus. At the time minimum wage was 4.25 so 9.50 was amazing! Did that for 6 months and dominated to the point that they offered me a full time job at $28,500 per year plus some bonus and I was rich! With my foot firmly wedged in the door of what I wanted to do I removed college from my life and proceeded with my career. Switched employment to Banc One Financial in May 1999. They shut down 18 months later and I went to work for my bosses in the brokering arena. Did that until August 2002 when it was apparent I did not need to split my checks with them any longer and I started my own company. 23 years in the business at the age of 43. I always tell people I’m a one trick pony but it’s a good trick!

Special Guest: Camryn Cisneros

Giving back to my community has always been such an important mission for me. Before I became a Real Estate Agent, I served in the U.S. Army, and was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Being a part of the military community has made an enormous impact on how I grew to love Oklahoma. Towards the end of my contract, I made the executive decision to stay. There were so many life-changing relationships developed in a place that felt like home to me. I couldn't just leave a community of trusted people I've served, nurtured, and deeply cared for throughout my years. I knew I still needed to give back and continue to add value my community. Which why I'm here. Real estate is all around us, constantly changing and evolving with the current times. It can be an intimidating, scary, and dreadful experience without the right guidance around you. As we all know, success falls directly on what our resources are and how we utilize them. As a part of one of the largest growing organizations, I have all the resources and tools to help you leverage and achieve your goals. From pristine marketing software, current market knowledge, to the backbone of your negotiations. I can provide the tools for a successful, low stress experience; bringing value in your transaction. After all, this is a profession based on the trust and confidence in one another, which is a skill I have honed and integrated throughout my previous experiences. My goal is to assist, educate and guide as many people as I can. If you would like more information on what I can provide you, please contact me!!

Special Guest: Ahmad Smith

enters his fifth season as assistant coach at North Alabama. He previously served as Associate Head Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at Charleston Southern. In four seasons at North Alabama, Smith has helped the Lions reached the ASUN Conference Tournament each year, including a berth in the championship game in 2021. During his tenure, UNA has had six all-conference selections, including five on the league's All-Freshman Team and one All-Academic pick. While working with the team post players, Smith has also coached the ASUN's leading rebounder in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 campaigns. He was also invited to participate in the 2019 TopConnect Virtual Seminar, which identifies the top basketball assistant coaches in the country. Smith, a 2004 Appalachian State graduate, was an integral part of one of the best stretches in Charleston Southern history as an assistant coach during his seven years on staff. A former player and coach at Appalchian State, Smith helped CSU go 19-12 in 2011-12 and the Buccaneers won their first Big South Tournament game since 2006. CSU again ranked among the Big South's best rebounding teams in 2013-14, tallying a nearly +3.0 margin on the glass. CSU won its second Big South regular season title in three years in 2014-15, and advanced to the NIT. The Bucs put together the winningest regular season in the program's 50-year history thanks in part to its ability to rebound the basketball. CSU ranked 2nd in the Big South in both rebounding margin and offensive rebounds, and was 20th nationally in the latter category with Smith as posts coach. Smith was promoted to the role of Assistant Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator at Charleston Southern in August of 2015. Smith returned to college coaching after spending three years in several capacities, including that of head coach, in Ireland. Smith went to CSU from Dublin, Ireland, where he honed his coaching skills from 2008 on. Most recently, Smith served as the technical director for the Templeogue Basketball Club. He was also the head basketball coach for the Men's Division I, U17 and U18 teams. In 2011, the Division I men's team finished fifth, improving five spots from the year before Smith's arrival. Prior to that, Smith was the head men's and women's basketball coach at Institute of Technology Tallaght College in Dublin, finished as the 2011 women's team champions and the 2011 men's team runners-up. He holds a career 74-45 record as a head coach, including time with the Colaiste Eanna High School U19 Boys (2009-2011), and the Shamrock Rovers Hoops Professional Superleague, where he coached from August 2008 to March 2010. Before leaving for Ireland, Smith was an assistant coach at Appalachian State University from 2004-08, helping lead the Mountaineers to a school-record 25 wins in 2006-07, a North Division regular season SoCon Championship in 2008 and a San Juan Shootout Tournament championship in 2007. As a player, Smith spent two years at Cedar Valley Junior College, earning NJCAA All-American honors while leading his team to an NJCAA National Championship in 2001. He earned the school's student-athlete award and earned multiple conference honors, including all-conference and freshman of the year honors, before moving on to play two years for the Mountaineers in the Southern Conference. He and his wife, Teresa, have a son, Tristan.

Special Guest: Real Estate Legend Ricky Carruth

After growing up roofing houses with my father in Alabama and dropping out of college, I started selling real estate when I was 20 years old. It was 2002. I made a million dollars before I was 23 and lost it all in the market crash. I had to go back to roofing houses, went bankrupt and worked on an oil rig. During that time of sleeping in my car, I read 100 books and realized that business is about people (not money). I then created the phrase “Relationships over Transactions”. You see, every relationship you create with someone in your market, regardless if they buy or sell today or not, is worth 10-20 deals to you over the life of your career. Eventually, I got back in real estate in 2008. By 2014, I was selling 100 deals a year as a single agent and became the #1 REMAX agent in Alabama. In 2017, I wrote two books and started coaching agents for free. Now I am one of the top coaches and speakers in the industry as the founder of Zero to Diamond, the fastest growing real estate agent coaching program in the world. The mission is to reduce the failure rate among real estate agents while still closing over 100 deals a year. I now have several million dollar businesses and a team of hundreds of real estate agents all over the world. The best is yet to come.
