Kurt McNevin-Zablocki's real estate career began with initiative at just 15, he reached out to sales managers across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs looking for after-school work, and landed at Di Jones Real Estate, where he spent over five years building a strong foundation in the business. In 2016, driven by ambition and a sense of adventure, Kurt took that same proactive approach to New York City, reaching out to every top brokerage in Manhattan before he'd even made the move. A decade on, he's Director of Operations for the Holly Parker Team, the number one team in New York and number three in the entire United States - proof that curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to start small can take a career further than anyone might expect.

Joined by Kylie Walsh, Kurt shares what it really takes to run operations for a team doing hundreds of millions in volume each year, from managing New York's uniquely complex co-op and condo processes to building the checklists and systems that keep nothing falling through the cracks. He opens up about hitting a quiet patch in his career and how changing his environment reignited his energy and growth, why treating people with respect and genuine communication is what keeps great talent in a business, and his advice for anyone considering their own leap into a new city or career: take it, because you never know who you'll meet or where it might lead. It's a conversation about grit, structure, and backing yourself so what's the leap you've been putting off?

Holly Parker's career started young - right out of college, having grown up watching her father, an investment manager, build relationships and grow wealth for high-net-worth families. That early exposure sparked a passion that's carried her for 32 years and over $13 billion in career sales, making her one of New York's most decorated real estate professionals. Holly recently made the leap to Compass after 24 years at Douglas Elliman, a move driven entirely by the need to protect her energy and stay aligned with her values, proof that even at the top of the game, it's never too late to choose what serves you best.
Holly shares openly about leading through some of life's hardest moments, including navigating the loss of both her parents, and why she believes vulnerability in leadership is what allows a team to truly step up and support one another. She describes her approach to client relationships as being "a friend to 2,000 clients," built on genuine care and old-school gestures that never go out of style. Holly also opens up on the art of patient negotiation, why burnout has no place in a sustainable career, and how her passion for self-development, marketing, and giving back including executive producing a film on human connection and energy, continues to fuel both her business and her purpose. It's a conversation about energy, compassion, and finding your tribe - so where are you filling your tank, and where are you running on empty.

Sara Rotter's path into real estate started with an unexpected turn while completing her pre-med studies at Harvard, a chance run-in with her property manager during a rental mix-up sparked a curiosity about the industry that she couldn't shake. She followed that curiosity and never looked back. Today, Sara is Senior Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Sales Downtown at Brown Harris Stevens, one of New York's most storied luxury real estate firms, founded in 1873. With over 25 years in the industry, Sara co-leads the Union Square and SoHo offices, overseeing around 200 agents within a company that manages roughly 400 buildings across New York City.
Joined by Kylie Walsh, Sara opens up about the leadership lesson that changed everything for her: energy management. After hitting a wall from years of saying yes to everyone, Sara learned to set boundaries, protect her time, and lead from a place of sustainability rather than burnout. She shares her philosophy on building confident problem-solvers rather than handing out answers, her go-to method for delivering hard feedback with care, and the guiding principles: grace, generosity, and doing right by others that shape how she leads her team and shows up in every negotiation.
It's a conversation about what it really means to lead with intention, energy, and heart so what would change in your business if you led with energy first, and everything else second?
