I read a quote by Winston Churchill once that said “we make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.“ And I can’t stop thinking about how true that is but I’ll take it a little further and say that yes, we make a living by what we get but we could make an even better living by giving more. Giving and serving others doesn’t just affect our life independent of what we do for a living. They are connected. They are the same thing. You can’t separate the two and say I’ll give more in my personal life so I build a life but when it comes to work, I’m going to be selfish AF and think that philosophy will work at all. You’re nuts if you think that way. This conversation is with Tina Konidaris. A few months ago I was introduced to Tina a mortgage lender that some of my colleagues had done business with in the past. In just a matter of a few seconds I instantly knew there was something different about her and something special. So much so that I reached back out after our first encounter and asked her to be a guest on the podcast and I knew there was something magic she could share with all of us. Tina came from a humble upbringing in a small town in North Carolina and moved all the way to division president of Dash home loans, a mortgage lending company in Raleigh North Carolina. The road was bumpy, challenging and filled with hard work and determination. It wasn’t handed to her by any stretch of the imagination. And on today’s podcast she opens up about all of it.
