In this episode of Your Next Business Bestie, I’m sitting down with my friend Karie, a powerhouse real estate agent in the Colorado Springs and Monument area. We dive into her unexpected journey from mortgage fraud investigations to running a thriving real estate business—and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Karie shares the wild stories from the 2008 crash, what’s changed in the housing market since then, and how she built a business that prioritizes relationships over transactions.

But this episode isn’t just for real estate pros. We also geek out over business systems, time management, and how to actually create a calendar that gives you freedom instead of stress. If you’re an entrepreneur who feels like you’re always “on,” Karie’s insights on boundaries, automation, and designing a business that supports your life (instead of the other way around) will hit home. Plus, we drop some serious truth bombs about what it really takes to succeed in business—whether you’re selling houses or selling your next big idea.
