Further Together: The Agent Growth Event That Could Change Your 2026

Opening question:
What if one afternoon in Gulf Shores gave you the clarity (and community) you’ve been missing in your business?

Snippet answer (1–2 sentences):
Further Together is a production-focused, no-fluff real estate event where agents share what’s actually working right now—plus you’ll leave with new connections and a plan you can use immediately. It’s happening Tuesday, Feb 24, 2026 at the Learning Center at Gulf State Park.

The real reason this event matters (especially right now)

If you’ve been doing the “solo agent shuffle” lately—posting, prospecting, following up, trying to stay consistent, trying not to spiral—this is your reminder:

You’re not supposed to do this part alone.

Most agents don’t need another motivational quote. You need a room full of real people who can look you in the eye and say, “Here’s what I’m doing this week that’s moving the needle.”

That’s the whole point of Further Together:

No fluff.
No pitches.
Just real strategies and real playbooks.

Set the scene: what it feels like to walk in

Picture this:

You pull into Gulf State Park, and the air has that “salt + pine trees” vibe that makes your nervous system unclench a little. You walk into the Learning Center—bright, modern, coastal—coffee in hand, and you’re immediately surrounded by agents who look like you feel: hungry for momentum, tired of guessing, and ready for something that actually works.

You don’t have to pretend you’ve got it all figured out.

You just have to show up.

The speaker lineup (aka: why you’ll leave with actual tools)

Here’s what I love about this lineup: it’s built for implementation, not inspiration.

Drew Thompson — AI “$0 Framework”

If you’ve been curious about AI but also kind of allergic to the “buy my $2,997 course” energy… same.

Drew’s session is about how to use AI in a way that’s practical, grounded, and doesn’t require fancy tech stacks or expensive tools to get started. Think: tighter workflows, better follow-up, and cleaner content ideas—without living on your laptop.

Connie Alexander Jacks — Luxury (without the cringe)

Luxury isn’t just price point. It’s experience. It’s brand. It’s language. It’s how you show up.

Connie’s going to break down what “luxury” actually means in practice—and how to elevate the way you present, communicate, and deliver service (even if you’re not selling $2M listings every week).

Brock Zevan — High-energy emcee + conversion/scripts

You know the moment when a lead goes quiet and you’re staring at your phone like… cool cool cool, what now?

Brock’s bringing the energy AND the practical stuff: conversion, scripts, and how to sound like a confident professional without sounding like a robot. This is the “I’m taking notes and using this tomorrow” part of the day.

Panel of local agents — branding that fits you

Branding isn’t just colors and fonts. It’s the gut-feel people get when they see your name.

This panel is where the “local” magic happens—agents who know this market, these buyers, and the reality of building a recognizable brand in a place where everyone “knows a Realtor.”

You’ll walk away with ideas you can tailor to your personality, your strengths, and your actual life.

What you’ll leave with (besides a full notebook)

You should come for the strategy, but the real win is the after.

You’ll leave with:

A clearer message (what you do + who you help + why you)
A few scripts you can actually use without feeling gross
A better sense of how to talk about your value
And at least 1–2 new people you can text when you’re stuck instead of spiraling alone
