S4Ep2: The Team Lead Rollercoaster — Why We Almost Quit (And Didn't)

Kristen sits down with three team leads, Mindy Jones, Cassandra, and Rachel Krill, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the rollercoaster of running a real estate team. They talk about the moments they wanted to quit, why they didn't, and what it actually looks like to build a team (or a micro team, or no team at all) that fits your life instead of someone else's blueprint.
