Book her to speak

The show is the audition. The stage is the job.

Tom Ferry Senior Coach since 2018. Kristi does not do a keynote about AI in the abstract — she puts real systems in front of a room of agents and sends them home able to build one.

Questions

About the show.

Who hosts Take It and Run?

Kristi and Kelcie. Kristi Jencks is a real estate coach and speaker, and a Tom Ferry Senior Coach since 2018. Every episode is a real conversation about what is actually working right now, usually with a guest who is doing the thing rather than talking about it.

How often do new episodes come out?

New episodes land regularly, and there are 26 in the archive covering everything from AI systems and lead conversion to accountability, content, and the mindset side of the business. Every one of them is on this page.

Where can I listen?

Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Buzzsprout, plus the full video version on the Coach Kristi Jencks channel on YouTube. Every episode page here has the video, the chapters, and the complete written transcript if you would rather read it.

Do I have to be a real estate agent to get anything out of it?

No. The examples come from real estate because that is the world Kristi and Kelcie work in, but the substance is about systems, follow-through, and doing the thing you keep meaning to do. Most episodes translate to any business where you are the one generating the work.
