In Episode 100 of The Real Deal, host Janine Igliane and co host Ryan Hatcher sit down with Shanda, entrepreneur, wife, mother of four, and founder of Inbox Studio.

Shanda shares her journey from building a successful salon in Los Angeles to launching Inbox Studio, an email marketing agency that serves real estate professionals with authentic and strategic communication. With a heart for connection and community, she explains why email marketing creates deeper relationships than social media alone and how personal storytelling builds trust, loyalty, and long term client relationships. As an entrepreneur at heart, Shanda offers insight into branding, serving people well, and balancing business growth with family life.

This episode takes a deeply personal turn as Shanda opens up about her husband Jared’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis at just 43 years old. What began as minor health concerns quickly became life changing news. She shares how they navigated the shock of the diagnosis, the conversations with their children, and their decision to pursue alternative, personalized treatment options after being told there was no cure under the standard of care. Through faith, community support, and innovative testing that identified targeted treatment options, their family experienced hope in the middle of uncertainty.

This conversation is raw, honest, and faith filled. Shanda reflects on what it means to receive support when you are used to serving others, how community and prayer carried their family, and how hope can coexist with fragile seasons. If you are walking through a health crisis, supporting someone who is, building a business while raising a family, or seeking deeper purpose in difficult circumstances, this episode offers encouragement and perspective that will stay with you long after it ends.

Listen in for a powerful story of love, resilience, entrepreneurship, faith, and the strength found in community.

In this insightful episode, host Janine Igliane and co-host Ryan Hatcher sit down with Tiana Cole, founder of Blank Slate Staging.

Tiana’s journey into home staging began organically after styling her own home and helping friends achieve incredible results. What started as a passion quickly turned into a business, leading her to launch Blank Slate Staging in Northern California in 2019. After relocating to Arizona in 2025, Tiana relaunched her company with the same people-first approach, meeting sellers where they are and helping them navigate what can be a stressful season with clarity and confidence.

This episode goes beyond décor and design. Tiana breaks down why staging plays such a critical role in selling a home, how buyers form emotional connections before ever stepping inside, and the small details that make a massive difference in both photos and in-person showings. From kitchens and bedrooms to entryways, smells, and maintenance, she shares practical, real-world advice that helps sellers position their homes for success.

If you are a homeowner preparing to sell, a real estate professional looking to elevate your listings, or someone who enjoys thoughtful conversations about business, service, and intentional living, this episode is one you will not want to miss.
