Introducing the Human After All Podcast

Real stories. Real people. Real conversations.

At Rayse, we spend a lot of time talking about transparency, trust, and doing things the right way. But behind every transaction, every business, and every big decision… there’s a human story.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of the Human After All Podcast, going live January 14.

This isn’t a real estate podcast.

It’s a people-first show about the human experience, the paths we take, the challenges we don’t always talk about, and the moments that shape who we become.

Co-hosted by Christian Dwiggins, CEO of Rayse, and Tom Shively, Head of Engagement, Human After All features candid, fireside-style conversations with entrepreneurs, agents, creatives, and everyday people who are navigating life, building careers, and leaving their mark, in real estate and far beyond it.

We talk about:

Where people came from (and where they thought they were going)
The unexpected turns that changed everything
What success really looks like behind the scenes
How purpose, perseverance, and humanity show up in work, and in life

Some guests close big deals.
Some build communities.
Some are just honest about what it took to get here.

All of them are human after all.

We believe meaningful stories build trust. And trust lasts longer than any transaction. Human After All is about creating space for thoughtful conversations that reflect the values we care about at Rayse: transparency, integrity, and putting people first.

If you walk away with a new perspective — or even just a moment that sticks with you, we’ve done our job.

The Humans Behind the Headlines

We gathered some of the most interesting humans in the real estate world who have helped shape the industry into what it is today. Not just through tactics and takeaways, but through their stories.

You will hear from voices like Ricky Carruth, Marki Lemons Ryhal, Tristan Ahumada, Jared James, Byron Lazine, and Hud Bixler. People who have built brands, businesses, communities, and careers that many in this industry recognize instantly.

What you will not hear is a highlight reel.

Instead, you will hear what growing up was really like. Who inspired them long before real estate entered the picture. The wins they are proud of and the losses that nearly broke them. The detours, the doubts, and the moments where everything changed. The road that led them to where they are today.

This podcast is not about what agents should do next. It is about how people become who they are. The lessons that only show up after you fail. The values that stick when the market shifts. The humanity behind the hustle.

If you have ever wondered what shaped the voices that shape this industry, you are in the right place.
