Episode 10: Real Estate Rancher - Part 2 of Shanna Brown's career, from $$$ to Bust, and Back

Liss’N Kristi

In Part Two of our conversation with Shanna Brown (see Part One, Episode 8) learn first-hand about what it's like to be a realtor; how to succeed, how to make connections, and how to deal with setbacks and avoid failure. How to work with your clients, and how to be "Un-offended" by your competitors.
Shanna talks candidly about her life, focussing on the sell-and-buy-world of ranches and land; how it's helpful to be "unoffendable", and how your business might suffer deep troughs, but rise to multi-million dollar success, if you are patient, and get to know how to fully represent your clients' interests.
Later - Liss, Kristi and Shanna discuss body image for women, societal pressures about body weight, lips, and success: the transformative power of transparency and vulnerability in relationships, and the importance of authenticity. One of Kristi's dogs, Welcome Winslow, makes his first guest appearance on the show.
