This week, Steve sits down with Melissa, a wildly successful luxury broker whose entire practice is built on one radical idea: never be attached to the outcome, only to serving the human in front of you.In this conversation, you'll discover:Why Melissa says she's "client-driven, never money-driven" — and how that paradox made her more successful, not lessThe right way to choose a realtor (hint: interview them, don't let them pitch you)How to separate the emotional side of buying a home from the financial side before you signWhy raising $14M+ for Mount Sinai's indigent care isn't a side project — it's the whole pointThe truth about "co-opetition": how competing brokers can lift each other upThe biggest myth about real estate agents, straight from someone who's lived itMelissa also opens up about the personal losses that shaped her values — losing her mother at nine, the stepmother who taught her that love, not biology, makes a family, and starting completely over when she left fashion for real estate.PS: Steve was so moved he half-jokingly asked for Melissa's address to crash her next dinner party. When a guest makes the host want to fly to Florida, you know it's a special one. Listen for the "your network is your net worth" moment around the halfway mark — it might reframe how you think about your own career.CTA: If just five minutes of this changes how you serve someone today, hit subscribe and share it with a friend in real estate.
