In this special guest appearance on the Kenner French Show, we open up about our early beginnings, our unique journey into real estate, and how we built a lifestyle business around coaching and investing. From high school sweethearts to managing multifamily properties and helping others design lives they love, we cover a lot of ground—including real estate strategies for every stage of the journey.
