Episode Notes: Lauren's father had initially moved to Durham while she was in New York, and she only went there to pay him visits. Following the events of 9-11, she considered moving out of New York and was surprised at the options available in the beautiful environment of Durham, North Carolina. This encouraged her to leave New York and finally settle in Durham. As a copywriter, Lauren uses words to get the desired result from people. Since high school, she has always written with hopes to make a living from it. Lauren shares the learning experience at Sarah Lawrence College, New York, where she honed her writing because the courses demand a considerable amount. This helped her secure a job in the marketing department of the "Readers Digest" magazine even before she graduated. Around the year 2000, Lauren started her marketing and design firm, "Walker Interactive," with her husband, a web designer. Together they designed websites for solopreneurs and famous Olympic athletes. Lauren was also a consultant and contractor for IBM for over 13 years. She also worked with the marketing team on the website. Lauren talks about her challenges moving into Real Estate, the first of which was having a lot to learn as she adapted to the Real Estate language. This meant more reading, and she also had to talk to people generally to understand their difficulties and needs before discussing real estate with them. Discussing her role at Inman, she explains it is a unique one that involves helping advertisers and sponsors uncover how they can be most effective at Inman by strategic creativity. Lauren explains that blogging is not dead, however even with little interest in writing, people still can be encouraged to create content by first identifying their interests using a voice memo app to document as they go through the day and creating content based on those interests. "I find the most underused tool that is on everybody's phone is the voice memo app" The most important thing is the story, and it can be told in different ways, whether it's through writing, videos, or pictures. Having conversations centered around real estate is pivotal; this is particularly well articulated by sharing events and discussing...

Today’s conversation is really about finding balance, protecting your needs, being self-serving, and focusing on lifting yourself up. Because, when you help yourself first, you help others just by being. When you really understand what being “selfish” means you create an environment that elevates not only you but everyone around you — your friends and family. Talking about balance is easy, but understanding yourself, setting strong boundaries, and really putting all of this into practice can be challenging.
