“#1 Leading Ladies”

Karen is a passionate advocate for financial literacy. After nearly 25 years managing multi-million portfolios across the globe, she launched Financial Literacy for Her to help women overcome their fear of money and empower them to build generational wealth. Women control over half the wealth in this country, yet most are afraid to discuss it and leave their potential fortunes to make pennies on the dollar after taxes and inflation. Karen specially designed Financial Literacy for Her to be a safe place for women to be vulnerable and ask the scary questions without judgment. As part of the program, each client is partnered with a knowledgeable coach to create a diversified wealth plan to help them realize their dreams. In addition, clients will be teamed up with other like-minded women to share in their journeys.



In her capacity as a pastor and Licensed Minister of Dance, Karen also works with families who have loved ones struggling with drug addiction, mental illness, and incarceration through her non-profit Elevarte Ministries. In her free time, she loves spending time with her teenage sons, being in the outdoors, traveling, and volunteering at her church.

KELLY STINSON “The Potty Princess” – National Sales Manager, SAS

•Passionate about water & energy conservation and the influence we have to improve the environment
•“Potty Princess” nickname caught traction 3 years ago through a continued commitment of bringing awareness, education, & support across the country to multifamily property owners relative to the financial and environmental impact of old toilets on their properties.
•In 2019 I saved multifamily property owners over $2 MILLION on their water/sewer bills coupled with reducing water consumption by just over 200 million gallons (that will fill 303 Olympic size swimming pools). That is a $40 MILLION asset value boost at a 5% cap rate.

Growth Mindset Dental Consultants began as an idea when an oral systemic clinical dental team comprised of a dental assistant, Kary Helmer, and a hygienist, Shira Newman noticed that there is a fine art to implementing oral systemic health into a dental practice and creating a profitable, cohesive dental team.

Incorporating new processes and procedures can be a daunting task if done incorrectly. We take the guesswork out of what works. After years of practicing in successful oral systemic dental offices, we know the secrets to success, and the smoothest means to transition your team and office to practice oral systemic health.

Far too often, dental offices are not set up for growth and success, and the dental team does not have the tools and resources needed to achieve their highest potential. At Growth Mindset Dental Consultants, our approach is multifaceted and all encompassing. We create a work environment that caters to every team member from front office, assistants, hygienists and doctors while impassioning the team about oral systemic health, and the individual goal for each practice.

As a team, we live and breathe oral systemic health, holistic (biological) dentistry and team development.

In 2010, Masha Klapanova came to study Hospitality / Event Management in the USA. She got a taste of real estate back in Russia, where she still has an apartment and a summer house for lease.

Prior discovering her passion for self-storage investing, Masha did residential real estate sales, flipped houses, managed Airbnb properties and pursued wholesaling. However, she knew that commercial real estate investing has so much more potential for scalability and growth.

Her career path had shifted as soon as she discovered self-storage investing. The more she learned about it, the more it attracted her. Masha strongly believes that self-storage has many advantages over other asset classes.

Investors love it due to high returns and lower risks. Lenders love it because of the default rates to be the lowest and the recession resiliency of this asset class. Owners love it due to ancillary income opportunities, flexible lease terms and sticky tenants. Masha loves it because of incredible opportunities in value-adds and remote management.
