Ever wonder what it takes to transition from a highly successful real estate career to launching a thriving new venture? In this episode, I sit down with Brandon Green to explore the phases of experimentation, unexpected personal growth, and the courage required to redefine one's professional identity. We delve into how meaningful break periods, empathy in business, and strategic relationship management have played a pivotal role in his journey.

Brandon Green, originally from Iowa, moved to Washington DC in 1999 with no money or college degree. Diving into real estate in 2001, he co-founded Keller Williams Capital Properties, which became a top brokerage and best employer. Despite his success, he took a break to explore what was next, leading to the co-founding of Alchemy and Money, a financial services company focused on helping real estate entrepreneurs manage their finances.

“Surround yourself with people who truly have your best interests at heart during transitions.” – Brandon Green
