In this episode of REIA Radio, Ted Kaasch and Owen Dashner sit down with Mike Bjork for a wide-ranging conversation on real estate, entrepreneurship, and the fast-moving world of AI.

Mike shares his unexpected path into real estate, from his background in the fire department to building a high-producing real estate team that surpassed $100 million in volume by year three. He talks about what it was like hitting major goals earlier than expected, why that left him looking for the next challenge, and how that search led him deep into artificial intelligence.

The conversation dives into how Mike used Zillow at a high level, what he learned from scaling fast, lessons from launching a title company, and how he now views AI as more than just a time-saver. Instead, he sees it as a tool that can create leverage, improve systems, and even generate new income opportunities inside and outside of real estate.

They also get into some of the personal side of Mike’s story, including his struggles with dyslexia, learning how to study later in life, and how his wife played a major role in helping him see bigger possibilities for himself. On top of the business talk, the episode has plenty of laughs, side stories, and the kind of back-and-forth that makes REIA Radio feel real.

Whether you’re an agent, investor, entrepreneur, or just trying to keep up with where AI is headed, this episode brings a mix of mindset, strategy, and straight-up entertaining conversation.
