Danielle shares how she went from attorney and full-time mom to closing over $20B in Manhattan CRE, and why the question “Why is this happening for me?” changes everything.
They dig into mindset, resilience, and how to pivot with purpose when deals fall apart, careers stall, or life doesn’t go to plan—plus how social media, vulnerability, and personal brand are reshaping what success looks like in commercial real estate.
