This is the probably the question I've been asked the MOST lately: do you join a team or go solo? In this episode, I sit down with Sam Walker, my co-agent and business bestie, to unpack her journey from being on a team for two years to taking the leap into solo agent life (spoiler alert: she's crushing it!).

Sam shares the inside scoop on what she gained from being on a team, the challenges she faced when she went out on her own, and the lessons she learned along the way. If you’re a Rookie Realtor weighing your options before jumping in —this conversation is full of real talk and practical takeaways you don’t want to miss.

Building a personal brand can feel like a full-time job on top of your actual career—but it doesn’t have to. In this episode, I’m sharing how I built my personal brand, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and how I’ve managed to grow it without burning myself out.

We’ll dive into:

• What a personal brand actually is (and why it matters more than a logo)
• How I built mine and what’s worked best
• The positives and opportunities a strong brand creates
• The challenges and “not-so-pretty” side of it
• My best tips for showing up online consistently without sacrificing your sanity

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of building your brand—or wondered how to do it in a sustainable way—this episode is for you.
