I find so much joy in this podcast! The topics are very relatable and informative! I am a real estate investor and I continue to learn so much from this podcast.
I love that Erika has taken a topic so many have felt is beyond their reach and made it easy and actionable. She has such an infectious way of engaging with those around her. I can’t wait to hear more episodes!
Perfect for anyone who wants to go beyond the Status Quo and achieve generational wealth for their family. The stories are relatable and makes me feel like if they can do it, so can I !
The podcast is informative & relatable. Also, because other topics in addition to real estate are discussed it feels catered to me. I KNOW others will agree!
