Abbi Martz joins Ski In Sell Out to talk about her path from elite ski racing to luxury real estate in Park City, Utah. Raised on a ski mountain in New Hampshire and shaped by years of high-level competition, Abbi brings discipline, clarity, and heart to her work in Deer Valley real estate.

In this episode, we cover ski racing culture, growing up as an identical twin, transitioning from athletics to business, building a successful real estate partnership, and raising a family in a rapidly changing mountain town.

Whether you’re interested in Park City real estate, ski town life, or building a career rooted in values and lifestyle, this episode offers a grounded, honest look at what it means to build something lasting—on and off the mountain.

What happens when a lifelong bartender, adventure-seeker, and ski-town local decides to “sell out”—without actually selling out?

In this episode of Ski In Sell Out, hosts Max Doilney and Lauren Angerosa sit down with Park City real estate agent Andy Cordray to explore a career pivot rooted in authenticity, lifestyle, and hard-earned self-awareness.

Andy shares his unconventional journey from bartending on Main Street to becoming one of Park City’s most trusted real estate professionals—while keeping his long hair, tattoos, and love for dirt bikes, horses, and powder days intact. Along the way, the conversation dives into near-death decisions, burnout, introversion, redefining success, and why real estate works best when it reflects who you actually are.

This episode is for anyone navigating reinvention, questioning traditional success, or trying to build a career that supports real life—not the other way around.

Topics covered:

• Career reinvention in ski towns
• Leaving the bar industry for real estate
• Identity, burnout, and balance
• Selling lifestyle, not just property
• Why authenticity is a competitive advantage

In this episode of Ski In Sell Out, Max and Lauren sit down with Ace Allak for a grounded, honest conversation about leadership, mentorship, and the responsibility that comes with building something meaningful.

Ace shares lessons from his early life, the pressure to perform, and the long road to building successful businesses—while avoiding the traps of burnout, ego, and false balance. At the center of the conversation is a simple but powerful idea: you must qualify your mentor.

This episode explores why burn can’t be taught, why elimination creates balance, and why the best leaders often make themselves the most accessible. It’s a conversation about success, yes—but more importantly, about significance.

Jill Johnson grew up in Park City when it was still a sleepy mountain town — when kids biked everywhere, ski days were built into school, and the mountain itself felt like a babysitter. In this episode, Jill reflects on growing up in a family deeply tied to the shaping of Park City, her journey as a competitive mogul skier, her years away in Chicago studying art therapy, and what ultimately pulled her back home.

Now working in real estate at Powder Mountain / Powder Haven, Jill shares a thoughtful perspective on change, community, and what it means to “sell” a lifestyle without selling out. This is a conversation about roots, reinvention, raising kids in a transformed town, and choosing place — again and again.

What does it actually mean to stay in a place like Park City — without getting stuck, bitter, or burned out?

In this episode of Ski In Sell Out, Max and Lauren sit down with Molly Crosswhite, a Park City native and co-founder of Selling the Slopes, whose life and career track the town’s evolution in real time.

Molly opens up about growing up in Park City before the boom, leaving to find her own footing, and choosing to come back — not because it was easy, but because the place kept changing with her. They talk about early access to real estate, raising kids in a town flooded with wealth, and how perspective shifts when you’re both a local and a professional guide for newcomers.

The conversation dives deep into what actually sustains a long career: momentum, trust, energy, and knowing when to walk away — even from “good” deals. Molly also shares how her partnership with Rachel Retzer works precisely because they’re different people with complementary strengths, and why success without balance eventually costs more than it pays.

This episode isn’t about hacks or volume.

It’s about staying human in a high-stakes business — and building a life you don’t need to escape from.

Oops… We Sold Out.

What does “selling out” really mean in a ski town?

In this episode of Ski In, Sell Out, Max Doilney and Lauren Angerosa sit down with Rachel Retzer of Selling the Slopes for a candid, funny, and thoughtful conversation about career pivots, identity, and finding work that actually fits.

From teaching elementary school to selling luxury real estate, Rachel shares how freedom, stability, and partnership only work when your career aligns with who you are — not who people expect you to be. Together, they unpack ski town stereotypes, real estate myths, and why “selling out” might just be another word for growing up.

In this episode of Ski In, Sell Out, Max and Lauren sit down with Ben Fisher, one of the founders of Christie’s International Real Estate Park City. Ben’s path is rare — he got his first “referral fee” at 16 working in a ski shop, skipped the typical post-college wandering years, and jumped into real estate full-time by his early 20s.

Ben opens up about:

• Growing up in Park City after his dad took a massive career swing to move the family west park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• What it’s like to build a brokerage from absolutely nothing (literally no carpet, no accounting, no systems) park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• How Christie's founders fit together and why the partnership works without ego or drama park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• The pressure of raising kids in the Park City “bubble” and fighting entitlement with real-world experiences park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• Being an introvert running operations behind the scenes — and why people listen when he does speak up park-city-real-estate-journey-t…
• What he actually enjoys about real estate now, 15+ years in

This one is honest, grounded, and a great look inside the people shaping modern Park City real estate.

Max and Lauren welcome Sam, one of the owners of Christie's International Real Estate Park City and a former top agent at Sotheby’s, to talk about the real story behind his “rocket ship” career.

Sam shares how he went from bartending and bouncing around Europe, to moving to Park City for family, to jumping into real estate with a father-in-law who handed him the “junk” leads. He talks about cold-calling architects, pulling a postcard out of the trash that led to a life-long client, and why having a New Zealand accent is secretly a sales advantage.

The conversation ranges from:

• how to spot and act on “luck” by keeping your head up
• treating open houses and random encounters as real opportunities
• building trust with other agents so they actually want to send you business
• traveling with kids and raising a family inside the Park City bubble
• what stress did to his dad and why he now designs his life and company to avoid it
• why Christie's Park City was built to be fun, low-ego, and human-first

It’s a candid, warm, and surprisingly deep talk about identity, parenting, community, and why real estate doesn’t have to feel like a grind to work.

What happens when a lifelong skier from the Poconos follows his heart west—and ends up helping shape one of the most dynamic resort real-estate markets in the country?

In this heartfelt episode of Ski In Sell Out, Max and Lauren talk with Matt Magnotta, Managing Partner at Christie’s International Real Estate Park City, about his climb from golf professional to trusted development-sales leader. Matt opens up about the recession that tested him, the mentors who helped him redefine sales through honesty and service, and the peace he’s found in living where others dream of vacationing.

This episode is about more than real estate—it’s about resilience, character, and choosing to live life with intention in the mountains.

Two-time Olympic speed skater Aly Dudek swapped the ice for the Wasatch Back—and she’s not looking back. In this episode, Max and Lauren dig into what it really means to “sell out” in Park City: chasing big goals, rebuilding identity, and finding purpose after the podium. Aly dishes on life in a team of top agents, the competitive edge that never dies, and how she accidentally became the Realtor everyone wants on their side (and on their bike rides).

Expect laughs, truth bombs, and a few inside jokes about fanny packs, medals, and the fine art of showing homes in ski boots.
