In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with JD Crowell—a husband and dad first, and a real-world operator who believes success is built through discipline, not hype. JD is the founder of Responsive Companies, a vertically integrated real estate platform supporting 50+ full-time teammates, managing nearly 1,400 units, and generating close to $30M in annual gross income. From Responsive Capital Ventures to asset management and home buying, JD walks through why staying in a tight niche, executing the basics at an elite level, and doing the unglamorous work every day wins long term.This conversation goes far beyond business. JD and Ben unpack the power of core values, culture as behavior (not posters), and the STABLE framework that drives every decision—from hiring and promotions to accountability and leadership. You’ll hear why JD believes “boring, well-executed housing” creates lasting impact for working-class families, how disciplined routines compound over time, and why who you’re becoming along the way matters more than the numbers on the scoreboard. If you’re tired of highlight reels and want a real look at what it takes to build something that lasts—at home, in business, and in life—this episode is for YOU.************************************Connect with JD Crowell:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realjdcrowell/Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/jd.crowell.39Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jd-crowell-4246a1106/Website: https://www.jdcrowell.com/************************************Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/kIMv1LKVy_oListen on all platforms: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.comGet Ben’s latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693Qlogix: www.Q-logix.com/benhttps://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************ Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a message Order my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewman Connect with me everywhere else: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfight Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFight Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
