Dustin Speed is an international realtor with networks in Canada, UK, and Australia. Growing up in a small town in Alexandria taught him many things in life like being of service to the community. He served as an altar boy in his younger years, and he was also motivated by his mother to be a volunteer in a hospital in their town. Through these experiences, he learned the essence of a community.

He entered the military at the age of 17 and eventually pursued his passion for medicine. He became a firefighter and a paramedic for around 12 years. As he explored many possibilities, he found himself in real state world which is the perfect fit for him. Just like how a military man,  a firefighter, and a medic deliver their selfless service, he now gives the same quality of service as a real estate realtor.

At the age of 22, Samanntha got lost in Thailand by herself. She didn't speak their language. She wasn't sure where to go. She was afraid. In that moment she did a reality check and made a no non-sense decision to not give up until she found her hotel. Her persistence paid off and it ended up being one of the most rewarding vacations of her life. Her lesson? Trust yourself. Samanntha Rehman is truly an inspiring and passionate entrepreneur dedicated to the driving force of her personal growth. This episode will leave you inspired to seek more in your life. In our conversation with Samanntha Rehman we discuss saying yes to opportunities, self trust, making no non-sense decisions, pushing yourself beyond limits, unplugging from the buzz of life, travel clubs, overcoming self doubt, and the important realization that we do not have to have all the answers.
