Lauren Mac, as I used to call her, is one of my favorite people from high school. If we'd kept in touch better, she'd be like my Chase or Capt. Byro, but female. But Lauren's been busy raising 3 kids and and building a successful real estate career. Plus, I travel overseas a good bit.

Lauren's been married 18 years and has 3 beautiful kids. In this episode, we talk about the good 'ole days at Cy Falls High School and she opens up—about a lot. We discuss interracial marriage and raising biracial kids in the suburbs of Houston. From the early days of dating her now-husband, to the cultural hurdles they've overcome together, her story speaks to the power of love, resilience, and how far society has come—and still needs to go.

We also talk about the swinger lifestyle before we get into her thriving real estate business. Lauren shares how she's found success by being authentic and having a passion for helping others. From commission changes to social media marketing, she gives an honest look at what it takes to make it in real estate today.
