Ever feel like business growth is a test you didn’t study for? In this episode, Tiffany McQuaid—marketer-turned-real-estate-leader—breaks down what it really takes to grow, lead, and scale without losing yourself in the process.

Tiffany shares her full journey: building an independent brokerage from scratch, navigating market challenges, and ultimately merging with Ryan Serhant’s organization to expand her mission. She opens up about what most founders don’t talk about—the fear of letting go, the pressure of leading a team, and the internal “test” that always shows up before the next level.

Inside this conversation, we dig into:

• The emotional side of scaling a business
• How to know when it’s time to partner instead of go it alone
• The mindset shifts that keep you moving through discomfort
• Quiet building, selective sharing, and protecting your momentum
• Daily habits that keep Tiffany grounded: pre-dawn mindset audio, gratitude laps, reframing
• How to lead through uncertainty and stay aligned with your bigger vision

Tiffany also shares tools and resources—like The The INth Degree: How to Stand Out By Going All In and her children’s book There Is Always Hope—that help entrepreneurs reset fear, strengthen clarity, and stay connected to what matters most.
