Divorce, Anxiety, and $8B in real estate with Holly Parker- Ep 96

Holly Parker is one of the most dynamic people I have ever met. A top NYC realtor who has sold over $8 billion in property, she is also a self-made millionaire, consummate connector of people, world traveler, twin mom, and author. In her new book, Back on the Market: A Realtor’s Guide to Love and Life Holly tells the story of her divorce, re-entry into the dating world as an ultra-successful woman, and how she earns the trust of billionaires who purchase $50mm+ apartments.  On this week’s episode Paul and Holly talk about the source of her (and to an extent, his) motivation: an anxiety born of wanting to be seen, liked, and respected. And about how she channels that energy to destroy her sales goals and give back to the world.  Learn more about Holly on her website.
