In this episode, we discover the unlikely paralells between creating legacy through real estate investing and doing the same by preserving our photos. Our guest, Kris LeDonne, host of the "Picture Love" podcast walks us through the intention behind preserving photos, which isn't much different than the legacy people desire to create by investing in real estate. It's no surprise that it often starts with love and wanting to be remembered as someone who had a positive impact on the world.

Here are the key takeaways from this episode:
1. The synergy between personal values, preserving memories, real estate investing, & entrepreneurial pursuits, reflects a holistic view of success.

2. There are some parallels between preserving photos and investing in real estate. Both require intentionality, organization, and a vision for the future. It's also interesting that while you may or may not have been taught how to do either, there is an opportunity to choose differently for yourself and your children.

3. There is no shame in asking for help in an area that is not in your zone of genius. In fact, it can be one of the most loving things you can do to make meaningful change in your life or the lives of your loved ones. Luckily, there are experts for everything, typically just a click away.

4. Whether it's through helping clients manage photos or guiding them in real estate investing, it's paramount to work with a professional that you trust in order to create lasting impact.

5. Collaboration is a key to success along with working with knowledgeable professionals in order to achieve goals and navigate challenges effectively.

When we feel stuck, it's because we're not in alignment. Learning to tap into the truest version of ourselves, getting clear on what we value, and being honest about whether or not our current life reflects those things is key. The strategies, our guest, Kimberly Gayle, uses to help her clients create authenticity in their brands and businesses can easily be applied to real estate investing.

As a consultant and coach, she helps people shed the layers that hold themselves back from getting visible and embrace their real, bold selves, so they can get well known and become highly sought after!

Here are the takeaways from today’s show:

1. If you have a little flicker inside of you that you want to do something different, even if that hasn’t been modeled for you, have the courage to seek out a way to make it possible.
2. When you face trauma in your life, which we all do at some point, you can either succumb to it or stand up and say this isn’t right and I’m going to do something about it to protect others from having to endure the same thing.
3. Love is at the center of who we are as human beings, and if we can see that, we seek to make choices that make the world a better place. Helping others see this too is key.
4. Kimberly’s innate ability to question things, led her to a point in her corporate career where she thought, “there’s got to be a better way of spending our time,” which then led her to start questioning her own values and what she actually stands for? And as importantly what does she stand against?
5. When the money is great and the titles are great, but you’re feeling miserable because the job is not in alignment with who you are and what you stand for, it’s hard to make the leap into the unknown in hopes of living a better life.
6. Getting really clear on your own identity and what you stand for creates so much ease when you’re making the leap from Corporate to entrepreneur.It also makes for clear branding which makes life as an entrepreneur so much easier and more enjoyable.
7. When you’re out of alignment, going through the motions, living on the hamster wheel, with the culture of hustle and grind that is so common in our country it’s not living, it’s existing. This happens when we violate our own value system. It then manifests as anger, frustration, even disease and if you don’t make a change, you may be denying yourself the opportunity to live a long life.
8. You have to be your own hero regardless of what you’ve experienced.
