In this episode, Kevin Oakly, Jackie Lipinski and Beth Russell discuss the hype around the new Meta app “Threads” but agree they all have yet to feel excited about it and find themselves frustrated with seeing a lot of noise from people they didn't choose to follow. They dive into the homebuilding process and challenges that they have faced as well as the clash between builders and realtors that often happens.
Story Time (07:03)
- Jackie is reading “Leading with the Heart” Coach K and felt inspired by the quote: “Whatever a leader does now sets up what he does later, and there is always a later.”
- Beth gives us a home building update and shares her fears and excitement with the process.
- Kevin’s story time is “Realtors Gone Wild” where realtors have recently been making websites to make customers think they are the homebuilders themselves.
