Episode #38
Turn Up The Hustle EP 38 - Sandra Rangel
Sep 28, 20261h 5mS1
What makes someone leave a steady job during a housing crash—and build a real estate career with more than $400 million in sales volume? For Sandra Rangel, it started with a decision to bet on the business she was already building on evenings and weekends. On this episode of the Turn Up The Hustle Podcast, Mr. Hustle and Skylar Moon sit down with San Antonio’s “Listing Queen,” Sandra Rangel. From growing up on the West Side and working in banking to leaving Toyota for real estate, Sandra shares the work ethic, family influences, and turning points behind nearly two decades in the business. We get into the client appreciation events that keep relationships alive, how local “hotspot” videos turn into real conversations, and why Sandra still answers her own DMs. She also breaks down hiring her first assistant, using AI behind the scenes, navigating slow months, and finding solutions for listings that other agents couldn’t move—including a home that sat for six months before she helped sell it in two weeks. Whether you’re a new agent trying to get noticed, an investor working to move your next property, or a business owner ready to hire help, this conversation offers practical ideas for earning trust, improving your service, and building relationships that last beyond the closing table.

Sep 21, 20261h 9mS1
How does a dental hygienist go from being furloughed during a global pandemic to turning her last $1,500 into a luxury teeth whitening empire? In this episode of the Turn Up The Hustle Podcast, hosts Michael Llanas sit down with Heather, the visionary founder of Queen of the Mouth! Heather shares her powerful story of resilience—from overcoming a childhood speech impediment and navigating the challenges of teen motherhood to betting everything on herself when her career path was stripped away.

Turn Up The Hustle EP 36 - David Villas
Sep 7, 202633 minS1
How does a 24-year-old turn down 10 college scholarships—including five full rides—to move to a new city and chase a career in real estate? In this episode of the Turn Up The Hustle Podcast, hosts Michael Llanas and Skylar Moon sit down with Davis Villas, the Senior Disposition Agent at Inspired Buyers. Davis shares his incredible story of leaving his hometown of El Paso, selling his house, and moving his young family to San Antonio to become a high-level "intrapreneur." From closing a massive $100,000 assignment fee to the "fake it till you make it" moments of learning the dispo game, Davis reveals the grit and mindset required to succeed at the highest level of wholesaling. If you want to learn the difference between being an entrepreneur and an intrapreneur, how to build a massive cash buyer list through relationships, and why "fluffing" your ARV is the quickest way to kill your reputation, this episode is for you!

Turn Up The Hustle EP 34 - Mr. Hustle
Aug 24, 20261h 25mS1
Welcome back to another episode of the Turn Up The Hustle Podcast! In this highly requested episode, host Skylar Moon flips the script and interviews our regular host, Michael Llanas (aka Mr. Hustle). For the first time ever, Michael shares the raw, untold story of his journey before the wealth and the hundreds of real estate transactions. From growing up below the poverty line in a rough neighborhood of San Antonio to joining the army as an active-duty combat medic, Michael opens up about the extreme adversity that shaped his work ethic. Discover how he balanced a grueling military career with a side hustle that saw him close 55 real estate deals in his very first year, eventually walking away from a 12-year military career to build a real estate empire using strategies that title companies originally told him were "illegal". Whether you are trapped in a 9-to-5 or looking to scale your business, this episode provides a masterclass on what it truly means to "turn up the hustle".

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
