Episode 47 of She Sed started with no agenda and somehow turned into long conversation. Amy had just put a house under contract at midnight the night before we recorded and walked us through what life as a real estate agent really looks like, working around the clock for clients. She even shared the story of faxing paperwork for a home purchase from the nurse’s station while she was in the hospital delivering her son. We talked about work ethic, how kids learn by watching their parents, and how both of us have always believed in showing up for clients no matter the hour.

We also got into some deeper conversations about what children are being exposed to in libraries today and how important it is for parents to stay involved and guide what their kids are reading. Lisa shared an update on her dad’s outpatient surgery and how happy she was hearing a nurse comment on how strong and healthy he is at 90 years old.

The conversation continued into Lisa’s upcoming AI strategy workshop for business owners and anyone curious about using AI for everyday life; from gardening to travel planning. Amy shared why she believes it’s completely possible to stay friends with people who don’t agree with you, while Lisa and Amy compared their wildly different approaches to Facebook Marketplace, unread text messages, and email inboxes. Amy also clearly wins the prize for the most unopened messages by a landslide.

And finally, we announced something new for the podcast: starting soon, we’ll be bringing on a guest once a month. Not to promote businesses, but to join the conversation and talk about real life, the same way we always do.
