🎙️ Episode Title: High Tech in Real Estate: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

💡 This Episode's Winning Factor: Use high-tech tools with transparency and intention to multiply your trust, not replace your touch.

▶️ Episode Summary:

Welcome back to "Trust Factor"! In this episode, Mike and Tim tackle the first part of the winning formula: High Tech. With AI, voice cloning, and automation exploding, it's easy to get overwhelmed. The hosts cut through the noise to give you a clear-headed strategy on "the good, the bad, and the ugly" of new technology, showing you how to use it to enforce your boundaries and build more trust, not less.

⏱️ Key Moments (Timestamped)
