In this CG Live episode from our Select and Elevate event, I sit down with Jessie Lang, a rising operator who has quickly built momentum inside the Collective Genius community. Jessie shares the journey of stepping into leadership, scaling operations, and learning how to build a business that can grow beyond a single operator.

We talk about what it really looks like to level up inside a room full of elite investors—from the mindset shifts required to play bigger to the systems and accountability that drive real results. Jessie also opens up about lessons learned from presenting at CG, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, and why being in the room accelerates growth faster than trying to figure it all out alone.

If you're building a real estate business and wondering what the next level requires—from leadership to operations—this episode offers an honest look at the process of scaling up and stepping into bigger opportunities.
