What happens when a farm girl from small-town Iowa becomes the CFO of a fast-growing real estate company? That’s the journey of Tanya Betts, and in this episode of the Haverchat Podcast, she opens up about the twists, turns, and lessons learned along the way.

From nearly 25 years at American Athletic to making the leap to Haverkamp, Tanya shares what it really feels like to start over after decades in one place, why mentorship shaped her leadership style, and how she’s learned that true leadership is about lifting others up.

This episode is a reminder that career growth, like life, is less about speed and more about staying true to what matters most.
