In this episode, join or host, Nicole Christopherson, for a fascinating conversation with Russ Laggan, Senior Director of Growth at eXp Realty. Russ brings infectious energy and passion for empowering professionals to be their best. We dive into Russ' journey from starting multiple businesses to landing in real estate. He shares his mantra of \"how you do anything is how you do everything\" - approaching all endeavors in life with full throttle commitment. Russ offers sage advice for entrepreneurs on getting clear about your \"why,\" surrounding yourself with a supportive community, and learning from failures. We also chat about the loneliness leaders can face and the importance of balance. Ultimately, Russ aims to help people customize their path to greatness. His authenticity allowed me to open up about my own winding road to founding Work Hard, Smile Large. Whether you're in real estate or not, Russ will inspire you to fearlessly be yourself. So grab a coffee and settle in for some motivation.
