Mind The Gap
Hosted by Amanda Pohlman · EN
Welcome to Mind the Gap—the podcast with a British twist that simplifies the path to building a thriving residential real estate business, creating wealth & leaving legacies, falling in love with the power of passive income, and becoming the very best version of yourself.
I’m Amanda Pohlman—a British Expat turned Northeast Ohio industry leader. Over the past 20 years in the real estate space here in NE Ohio, I’ve built a top 10 real estate Team in NE Ohio, led collaborative Realtor masterminds since 2022, raised my family here, and built a reputation grounded in community, collaboration, and realizing big dreams. Surrounding myself with people who challenge me has helped me think bigger, dream deeper, and achieve more than I ever imagined. Your environment matters!
On this podcast, we’ll talk about real estate...of course—but we’ll also dive into the bigger picture. We’ll discuss market questions, share expertise, hear from innovators and mentors, and take on some of life’s hard truths. Real estate isn’t just about solving people’s problems—it’s about delivering the dream of homeownership and shaping the narrative of how real estate agents build last relationships in the communities we serve.
Collaboration among agents, brokers, teams, and brokerages is where our industry shines, and together, we can elevate the standard for everyone.
I'm launching free in person master classes in 2025 & offering more intentional masterminding & agent collaboration to purposefully grow every agents’ real estate businesses through the power of community ♾️
So join me on this exciting journey as we bridge the gap between where we are today and where our dreams can take us.
✨Let’s Mind the Gap together.

Ep. 28 - Control the Launch: Ways to Bring Listings to Market (and what NE Ohio Agents Need to Know Despite the Noise)
Mar 2400:43:02Tap to summarizeEveryone’s talking about new ways to bring listings to market. If you’re like me, you’re probably trying to sort through what’s useful… and what’s just noise.On my latest podcast, I take a step back and walk through what I’m seeing, what I’m learning, and how I’m thinking about a more intentional approach—especially when it comes to something like a Controlled Launch strategy.Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about having all the answers.It’s about asking better questions…Understanding what matters most to each client…And being able to explain their options with clarity and transparency.I’m continuing to learn from conversations with agents and brokerages across the industry, and this episode is a reflection of that—real thoughts, real perspectives, and an open dialogue.If you’re an agent in Northeast Ohio and trying to make sense of it all, I think you’ll find this helpful.We’re all figuring this out together 💪

Mar 300:14:12Tap to summarizeAfter a six-month pause—when the original podcast studio closed its doors—I did what we do best: I pivoted.
