He owned 51% of it. Seven years later, he left her to marry her secretary. She was 30, broke, and convinced she'd never make it without him. Leo sits down with the woman who turned that wreckage into one of the most recognized real estate brands in America to unpack how she fired four out of every five agents she hired on purpose, why she lost $2 million on Shark Tank before realizing she was shopping for the wrong thing, and the email she wrote after getting rejected from the show that changed her entire second career. Barbara also gets into why she bought every building during markets nobody else would touch, the moment she realized she wasn't the owner of a golden goose but the golden goose herself, and why the best entrepreneurs she's ever backed have no degree at all.➡️ Timestamps00:00 Her Boyfriend Became Her Business Partner Then Left Her for Her Secretary02:53 Being 30 and Convinced She'd Never Survive Without Him03:36 Ten Kids in a Two-Bedroom House and the Mother Who Made It Feel Like Winning05:13 Labeled the Dumb Kid Until 3:15 PM When Everything Changed06:24 The Only Leadership Style That Scaled From One Agent to a Thousand06:40 Sell One Apartment in Two Months or You Can't Stay Here08:42 What Nobody Tells You About Selling Your Company and Losing Your Name10:20 She Thought She Sold Her Golden Goose Until She Realized She Was the Golden Goose10:57 Shark Tank Rejected Her So She Wrote an Email Listing Every Failure That Made Her12:35 Leo Raised $48 Million Feeling Like a Realtor in a Room Full of Stanford MBAs13:39 The First Two Years on Shark Tank She Lost All Her Money Shopping for the Wrong Thing14:52 Most Businesses Don't Fail the Founders Quit16:53 Cold Feet on a Studio at 24 and It Took Four Years to Get Back In17:56 Every Building She...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/s-8ogzICZpL893roq1emG4hhsHZ8o86J8mfvu4kGQbQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xY2M1/NGVmMDMzMDZhOGMw/OTE0NjBlZmVmY2E2/NzQ4Ny5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
