In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Elaine Stageberg — a Mayo-trained psychiatrist whose remarkable journey has taken her from being an emancipated minor to co-founding one of central Minnesota’s most animal-friendly real estate companies. When the world shifted during the COVID-19 pandemic, so did Elaine. Alongside her husband, she transitioned from clinical practice to entrepreneurship, growing Black Swan Real Estate into a purpose-driven venture that reflects their shared values of family, freedom, and compassion. Elaine shares how she educated herself into the life she envisioned — one that includes meaningful work, a thriving business, a close-knit family, and a deep commitment to evolving with intention.

Elaine Stageberg, MD, MHA is a psychiatrist, mother of 5, visioning expert, & Owner of Black Swan Real Estate. She owns & manages a portfolio of over $400M in assets under management. Through real estate investing, she reached financial freedom in her 30s and now helps others to do the same; Black Swan has delivered exceptional returns to hundreds of passive investors through their unique investor-focused private equity funds which enjoy no sponsor fees whatsoever.
