Welcome to Brick & Brand! We didn't grow up in boardrooms — we grew up on a farm. Before we ever learned cap rates or LOIs, we learned grit, early mornings, hard work, and what it means to bet on yourself even when the odds aren't glamorous. And somehow, that journey — the mess, the mud, the mayhem — became the foundation for everything we do today in retail real estate.

This episode is the story no one ever tells: how two sisters went from small-town routines to big-city deal flow. How the values we learned in boots and dirt translated into confidence in heels and property tours. And why the leap from dairy farms to deal making isn't as far as it sounds — because at the core of both worlds is one truth: nothing grows without someone willing to put in the work.
