WEEEEOOO WEEEOOO Good episode dropping...  I sat down with Claire VanderEyk — a Minnesota-based real estate developer who walked away from corporate life to carve out her own path in a male-dominated industry. Claire shares the origin story behind her bold leap into development, the creation of a Women in Real Estate Development retreat, and how she's cultivating a powerful referral-based ecosystem of curious, capable women. We talk about: The magic of building safe spaces for women in industries where they've been historically underrepresented Knowing your value and how to own it in any room Leveraging AI (yes, even ChatGPT!) to ask the “dumb” questions and get unstuck Finding mentors, making strategic introductions, and building a collaborative network The power of being development curious and why women bring an essential kind of energy to any room Claire is a networking powerhouse and a beautiful example of what happens when you build a tribe — and then work with it. Whether you're in real estate or just real-life curious, this conversation is packed with wisdom, heart, and actionable advice. Tune in and get inspired to make your own room — or flip the entire script 

In this special episode of Tribe Builders, we're taking a look back at three powerful stories of unexpected connections that changed everything. From a chance meeting in a bank line that led to a long-term business partnership, to seeing someone working in the coffee shop that sparked an idea for a mentor relationship, to one man's dedication to adding value that ended with him being gifted a portion of an apartment building—these moments remind us that opportunity often hides in plain sight. These stories, from past guests Alex, Tato, and Kurt, are proof that the best relationships often start when you least expect them. Whether it's through daily interactions, a willingness to talk to strangers, or consistently showing up with value, building your tribe isn't always about strategy—it's about staying open, curious, and generous. Tune in to be reminded that some of the most fruitful connections begin with a simple conversation.   Kurt's full episode: #9 Alex's full episode: #30 Tato's full episode: #51
