In this special recap episode of Burning the Ships, I’m sharing my takeaways from the recent Legacy Family Summit in Napa Valley, CA—a real estate mastermind packed with insight, connection, and serious growth. I walk you through what went down over the course of the event and how the relationships, roundtable wisdom, and shared experiences have shaped my journey since joining the community three years ago.
From lessons in leadership and vision shared by powerhouse speaker Kelli Garrett, to practical breakthroughs on funding, scaling, and partnerships, this episode dives deep into how communities like Legacy Family can help you elevate your business and personal life.
Whether you’re building something new or fine-tuning your next big move, this one’s for anyone serious about surrounding themselves with the right people and taking bold, aligned action.
