On this episode of Controlling Your Chaos, Cortney sits down with Lacy Hendricks of Hendricks Property Management to talk about what it really looks like to leave a corporate career at Apple and Facebook, move to a new city, and take over a family business you knew nothing about.

Lacy shares how she and her husband Kyle went from Austin tech life to San Antonio property management almost overnight, walked into an office of 13 people running on Windows 98, and slowly but surely made it their own. She opens up about the hard and fast rule that kept their marriage intact while working together, how they ditched the PTO policy and changed the culture of the office, and what it looked like to navigate COVID with a one-year-old at home while simultaneously helping shape rental assistance policy for the entire city.

Lacy and Cortney also dive into the power of volunteering as a way to build confidence, why the property management community in San Antonio is unlike anywhere else in the country, and why prioritizing the small moments with your kids, even the ones that only last a minute, is something you'll never regret. This one is for every woman who figured it out as she went and built something great anyway.

On this very special episode of Controlling Your Chaos, Cortney hands over the mic to her 17-year-old daughter Vivienne, and gets put in the hot seat for a change. Vivienne asks the questions this time, pulling back the curtain on what it was really like growing up alongside a mom building a property management empire from the ground up.

Cortney opens up about how she fell into property management while pregnant with Vivienne, grew GSG from 20 doors to almost 400, and learned early on that if she could plan her day, her day wouldn't run her. She shares her wildest property management horror stories and gets real about balancing two daughters, a growing business, and showing up every single day even when she didn't feel like it.

Vivienne and Cortney also talk about what it means to build a career as a woman in a male dominated industry, why reading is one of the least expensive investments you can make in yourself, and what Cortney is most excited about for the next chapter, including a European Thanksgiving and hopefully a speaking career that takes her around the world. This one hits different. Don't miss it.

On this episode of Controlling Your Chaos, Cortney sits down with Lily Garcia, marketing and community director for I Have a CPA Guy, a virtual CPA firm she co-owns with her husband Robert, to talk about what it really looks like to build a business with your spouse without losing your marriage in the process.

Lily shares how she went from eight years as a stay-at-home mom to saying yes to entrepreneurship, after months of saying absolutely not, and how running a virtual firm alongside her husband has actually given their family more time together, not less.

Lily and Cortney also dive into raising civically engaged kids, the power of believing in yourself even when it's hard, and why perfection is the enemy of actually getting things done. This one is for every mom who's ever felt guilty for taking time for herself and needed permission to stop.
