7FF 810: 36° Water Taught Me How to Close More Deals

August 12, 2025

About This Episode

The water was 36°.

Cold enough to make your skin burn.

Cold enough that every nerve in your body screams, “Get out!”

Last week, our leadership team didn’t just step in… we stayed in.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, I realized something…

That ice bath was teaching me the same thing that closes deals.

Because flipping houses isn’t just about the numbers.

It’s about doing the hard, uncomfortable thing when every instinct says bail.

It’s calling back the seller who ghosted you.

It’s making the offer that scares you.

This conversation with Tracy Cumberbatch isn’t just about cold water.

Plus, she shares a unique strategy for creating cash flow from existing properties.

Sounds crazy, right?

But when you’re freezing, your instincts tell you to quit.

Sellers have their own “cold plunge” moments.

If you want them to sign the contract, you have to lead them through it.

If you want to be that kind of leader…

…the one sellers follow, lenders trust, and your business rallies behind, let’s talk.
