She earned her bachelor's degree in science from the University of Queensland—one of the world's top-ranked universities—before launching her career in banking and finance at one of Australia's leading financial institutions. Her life took a surprising turn in 2010 while vacationing in San Diego, where she met her now-husband crossing the street. One year later, they were married. Over the next few years, they lived in San Diego, Cleveland (her husband's hometown), and Atlanta, welcoming their first two children along the way. It was during her first stint in Cleveland that Simone noticed something striking about the U.S. housing market—unlike in Australia, cash-flowing rental properties were a real opportunity here. That insight led to their first real estate purchase in 2012: a duplex where they lived on one side and rented out the other, letting the tenant cover their mortgage and expenses. Simone made herself a promise: if they ever moved back to Cleveland, she'd dive into real estate full time. Fast forward to 2016, when the family relocated to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. There, Simone started a healthcare business that quickly took off, growing to nearly $5 million in annual revenue in just four years. Her husband joined the venture, and in the midst of scaling the company, they welcomed their third child. In 2021, they sold the business and returned to Cleveland. Simone kept her promise. In just over three years, she's completed seven full renovations and manages a growing portfolio of rental properties under her company, Moza Homes. Her most recent project, Boomerang Ranch, turned a tired mid-century home in Moreland Hills into a high-design showcase that went under contract shortly after listing. Through Moza Homes, Simone wears many hats—owner, general contractor, licensed real estate agent, and designer. Her approach is hands-on and highly intentional. “Moza Homes was born from the idea that real estate investment could be both artistic and profitable,” she says. With a strategy focused on uncovering hidden potential in prime neighborhoods, Simone is building something special—one beautifully reimagined home at a time.   “There's a story in every home,” Simone says. “My job is to reveal it.”   Social Media Links: (17) Facebook Instagram (25) SIMONE LESKO | LinkedIn   Website: Home | Moza Homes   To learn more about Jen Josey, visit www.TheRealJenJosey.com To join REIGN, visit www.REIGNmastermind.com Stuff Jen Josey Loves: https://www.reignmastermind.com/resources Buy Jen Josey's Book: From Beginner to Badass: https://a.co/d/bstKlby

Most importantly, I'm a full-time Nana to two spirited grandchildren, ages 4 and 6, who fill my life with joy and purpose.

Wholesaling with Integrity   We have REIGN member and total badass, Pam Spencer on today's episode!

Pam pulls the curtain back and shares how she runs her business and the successes she has achieved.   Pam Spencer is a seasoned entrepreneur with a unique journey from equine training to real estate. For over two decades, she ran a successful horse training business, but after a mandatory quarantine closed her stables, Pam pivoted to wholesaling real estate—a move that turned into her new passion.
