  <description><![CDATA[<p>Game Plans — where real estate agent Brooks Anderson and mortgage broker Steve Beskid break down what it actually takes to build a business, raise a family, and stay sane doing both. Every episode covers the real stuff: systems that save time, tech that actually works, deals that went sideways, and the unglamorous side of entrepreneurship nobody posts about. If you're building something while managing everything else, pull up a chair.</p>]]></description>
