Mind Matters

In today's episode, we're super excited to sit down and talk with Leslie Smith, who together with her partner runs Smith Brody Associates. This company isn't just any company; it's a mortgage broker business in Indiana that's owned by women, which is pretty cool. Leslie's going to share some really important lessons and stories from her long career of 16 years. She's been at the top as a CEO, and she's going to tell us all about what it's like to be in charge, the tough times she's gone through, especially when the economy took a nosedive back in 2008, and how she managed through those times.

Leslie's going to talk about how important it is to work hard, the feelings involved in her job, and how she makes sure to keep a balance between her work and her personal life, which we all know can be pretty tricky. She's faced her fair share of hurdles, like getting the right licenses to run her business, growing the company, and using technology to make sure customers have the best experience possible.

This conversation is going to be full of inspiration and tips, so make sure you tune in. You won't want to miss it!
