Amanda Ryan leads a Dallas-Fort Worth real estate team that's closing nearly 100 deals a year with just 2 agents. Instead of chasing leads the traditional way, she's built a community-first strategy using simple local guides that people actually want—and it's generated hundreds of leads without feeling like a sales pitch.

She explains:
- Why personality tests are non-negotiable before any team interview
- How 2-4 page Canva guides generate up to 200 email leads each
- The hiring mistake that almost broke her team's standards
- Why she refuses to train brand new agents (and what she looks for instead)
- The "messy middle" phase every growing team must survive

A little about us:
- 10 years ago I made thousands of sales calls
- I was unfulfilled on the rollercoast of referral based sales
- I was overweight
- 7 years ago I spoke on stage at Curaytor about marketing
- I was the marketer for 5 top teams in the US spending several million on paid ads
- We were posting content on social but a little aimlessly
- Now we've generated well over $10 million in GCI directly from YouTube for agents
- Run many of the top YouTube channels from 0 to 50k in real estate
- Scaled the only hyper local newsletters across 50+ markets
- We grew our team at Knwn Local to 45 people
- We believe building a media brand is the new way to grow your business and own your market now. Instead of renting your business with expensive leads, you can own it with an audience.

- Brand is one of the highest leverage things in business that scales your impact beyond you.
- Big visions often don't make sense to small-minded people.

If you want to have a greater impact, you'll have to make greater sacrifices.
My message: Don’t be well known, be Knwn well.
I'm pumped to help you grow & scale your business with this content.

We make these videos to help build the leaders of tomorrow, but also there are a lot of “coaches” and “claims” on social media and hard to cut through the clutter. I post these to build trust with real estate professionals through value and real experience. And if they’re awesome and see the value and need help - we work together.
