Dave Taylor – Real Estate Trainer for Keller Williams Legacy and Army Vet
Love, Laughter, and Life Lessons
Welcome to another episode of Feral and Fabulous, where we always promise amusing anecdotes and captivating conversations. This time, our guest is the multifaceted Dave Taylor – an Army veteran, influential real estate trainer…and Kim Howell’s husband. Join us as we navigate through his journey from the military to his current endeavors in real estate, all intertwined with personal stories and invaluable life lessons.
Meeting a Lifelong Companion
In an endearing revelation, our host talked about meeting Dave through eHarmony, a prospect she initially found a little scary. Despite the lengthy 500-question questionnaire, fate had a plan, kicking off with a humorous sports rivalry: she’s a lifelong Packers fan and he’s a Vikings enthusiast. (Those are affiliate links, you know the deal.) These sports banter exchanges serve as a nostalgic reminder of how their shared love for football was part of the foundation of their relationship.
From Soldier to Civilian: A Transition Story
Dave’s 27-year military career, driven by a childhood fascination with G.I. Joe (buy some G.I. Joe toys and we’ll earn a small commission to help keep the podcast running) and family influences from past generations, paved his way to significant service milestones, including time served in Iraq. During this episode, Dave elaborates on his path from enlisting to becoming a Ranger, providing a detailed historical background of the Ranger units and his experiences in Ranger school.
Transitioning to civilian life, Dave found his calling in real estate. Surprisingly, he finds this career strikingly similar to military life – both demanding dedication and resilience in chaotic circumstances. Listening to Dave reflect on his military strategies applied in real estate showcases his adaptability and tactical mindset.
From Real Estate Rookie to Trainer Extraordinaire
Initially, adjusting to real estate didn’t come easy for Dave, as he recalls the tough lessons learned under the guidance of his patient and knowledgeable spouse. Through persistence and self-discipline, he scaled up in the industry, eventually taking on the role of a trainer for Keller Williams Legacy, offering mentorship to others through his trial-by-fire journey. Despite his expertise, Dave humbly admits there is always more to learn in real estate.
Balancing Life: A Shared Adventure
In their downtime, Dave and our host explore mutual interests like music and travel, though occasionally conflicting in their tastes, from 90’s Matchbox Twenty to contemporary country. Their lively debates encompass nostalgia for bands such as Aerosmith and the timeless dynamic of The Monkees. Their shared love for the beach reflects a harmonized escape, aligning beautifully with their dynamic careers and lively home life.

Feral or Fabulous?
The episode wraps up with a humorous segment called Feral or Fabulous, where Dave weighs in on subjects from amusement parks to the vibrant culture of New Orleans. Here, his candid responses, such as admitting his distaste for snakes and preference for controlled waters over skinny dipping, offer a blend of comedy and honesty.
Closing with laughter and love, Dave and our host reflect on their shared journey through career challenges, personal growth, and the delightful complexity of life together. We hope you enjoyed this heartwarming episode, where real talk marries humor in a candid exploration of love, challenges, and triumphs.
