In this episode, I sit down with Raija Woods, a Realtor with NÖIRE Group who truly puts her clients first, every single time. Raija opens up about one of the most humbling moments of her career: receiving her first commission check for just $1. Yes… one dollar. Instead of quitting, she used it as fuel, and that mindset has shaped the way she approaches real estate and service ever since. She also shares a deeply personal chapter of her journey, discussing how undergoing thyroid surgery temporarily derailed her momentum and forced her to reassess priorities, discipline, and balance in both life and business. This conversation is honest, motivating, and real. If you’ve ever felt behind, faced a setback, or wondered whether the grind is worth it—this episode will hit home.

🎙️ A must-listen for agents, entrepreneurs, and anyone navigating adversity while chasing a bigger vision.
