Leadership, mindset, and financial well-being—what do they have in common? Everything. In this episode, we sit down with Kimberly Guiry, a dynamic business strategist and performance coach, to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in today’s real estate market and beyond.

From navigating market shifts to redefining what success looks like, Kimberly offers a wealth of insights about the importance of reflection, recovery, and building resilience. Drawing on the principles of gratitude, neuro-linguistic programming, and the "drama triangle," she shares practical strategies for turning setbacks into opportunities and overcoming limiting beliefs.

We also dive into the critical steps for financial health, including creating reserves, planning for the future, and understanding the emotional and psychological connections to money. Whether you’re in your 30s or 60s, this conversation will inspire you to take control of your finances, prioritize your mental health, and lead with purpose.

If you go to the south side of Chicago and look around at what used to be 75th Street, you’ll see a sign: James B. Lemons Way. James B. Lemons was legendary for his barbeque, selling more pork rib tips than anyone else in the city. He and his brothers became self-made millionaires. Our guest today is Marki Lemons, granddaughter of James B. Lemon and business mogul in her own right.

The way Marki teaches a lesson with every sentence she speaks, you can tell she’s spent her life immersed in entrepreneurship. Her wisdom and experience are only outmatched by her wit and intelligence. She is an icon in real estate but doesn’t rest on her laurels. Right now, she’s a leader in using Artificial Intelligence to develop content and generate leads, even guiding her own son (the sixth generation of Lemons entrepreneurs).

In this episode, Marki preaches the sermon, collects the offering, and calls the congregation to action. You’ll hardly be able to catch your breath. Enjoy!

Areas with predominantly Black populations, especially inner cities, have been intentionally divested from for decades. How do we reinvest in those areas without displacing that same population, given the reality of the political and economic system we live in today? Anthony Kimble joins us to discuss exactly that.

If bank presidents, government leaders, and every seat of power that created divested areas decided to intentionally reverse those actions, then the problem would be solved. But that’s probably not going to happen any time soon. So how, as real estate professionals, do we do our part?

Anthony gives us his perspective as a successful developer in Baton Rouge, including the importance of starting with small projects. He lays out a passionate but grounded case for how we need to unite and build long-lasting economic and political power.

This is an episode you’re going to want to listen to over and over again.
