347. The Power of Pivoting: Reinvent Yourself and Keep Building

What happens when the path you've worked so hard to build no longer looks like the one you want to follow? Sometimes the best thing we can do is pivot. In this episode, we're joined by Julia Lashay, real estate leader, author, and co-host of The Color of Money podcast, to talk about embracing change, creating opportunities, and finding the courage to keep building.

Julia takes us through her journey from leading real estate teams to becoming Keller Williams' first Head of Inclusion and Belonging, writing *The Color of Real Estate*, and eventually returning to Minnesota to lead two market centers. We talk about why you don't have to follow someone else's blueprint, how to make the most of unexpected opportunities, and why everything you've learned along the way can prepare you for what's next.

We also get into Julia's journey to the TEDx stage, including 62 rejections before finally getting a yes, and the coaching, persistence, and preparation it took to get there. Plus, Julia shares a fresh perspective on resilience: instead of trying to bounce back to who we used to be, what if we focused on who we're becoming?

Whether you're navigating a career change, chasing a big dream, or figuring out your next chapter, this conversation reminds us that every experience can become part of what we build next.
