In this episode of Tribe Builders, Tanya sits down with Mariah Hamm, a St. Paul real estate agent who leads boldly with her queerness and authenticity. Mariah shares how getting laid off became the catalyst for building a business fully aligned with who she is—and how that alignment attracts clients who deeply resonate with her values.
