Conviction Vs. Convincing

Conviction Vs. Convincing

Author: Will Grimes and Eli Schmidt April 1, 2025 Duration: 39:03

In this reflective and honest episode of Re-Define, Will and Eli dig deep into their own journeys to unpack the profound difference between conviction and convincing. They share openly about moments in their personal lives and careers when they found themselves pushing too hard to persuade others, only to realize that true influence and respect come from internal confidence and clarity—what they call conviction.

Will and Eli discuss how tempting it can be to chase after every new opportunity or idea, especially during periods of growth. Yet, they acknowledge that the constant pursuit of external validation or approval often leads to burnout, frustration, and compromised integrity. Through heartfelt storytelling and candid introspection, they explore how shifting their mindset to operate from true internal conviction allowed them to become better leaders, business partners, fathers, and friends.


In a crowded field of get-rich-quick schemes and superficial advice, Real Estate Re-Defined offers a different path. Co-hosts Will Grimes and Eli Schmidt built their own successful practices from the ground up, and they understand the daily grind and strategic decisions that separate a fleeting side hustle from a lasting enterprise. Will, a Marine Corps veteran, applies a disciplined, no-nonsense leadership philosophy to the business, while Eli provides the operational savvy. Together, they move past the industry clichés. You won't find rehashed cold calling scripts or cheerleading for outdated tactics here. Instead, each episode is a deep dive into the practical systems, the necessary mindset shifts, and the adaptable strategies that actually work in the current market. They discuss building a genuine brand, creating efficient workflows that free up your time, and developing the resilience to handle inevitable setbacks. This podcast is for the agent or investor who is tired of the noise and ready to do the real work of constructing a business that thrives long-term, not just survives the next transaction. Listen to Will and Eli for candid conversations, hard-won lessons, and a redefined perspective on what sustainable success in real estate truly requires.
