In this no-nonsense episode of We’re Doing This Right. Right?, Cheryl & Colleen sits down with Candy Miles-Crocker, author of The Reality of Real Estate and Senior Sales Manager at Compass, overseeing 350+ agents, to talk about what it really takes to build a thriving, sustainable business in real estate.

Candy shares her belief that “you can’t expect full-time results from part-time effort,” and explains how discipline, consistency, and mindset are the keys to long-term success. Together, they unpack how to define success on your own terms, set boundaries, and replace comparison with clarity.

This conversation is packed with practical strategies to help you plan better, market smarter, and maintain your energy — especially when the industry feels chaotic.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

• Why part-time effort leads to part-time results

• How to define your version of success (not someone else’s)

• Practical ways to stay accountable and consistent

• How to romanticize the mundane parts of your business

• Why sustainable growth matters more than social-media optics

• Tips to manage your time, energy, and clients effectively

In this inspiring episode, Cheryl and Colleen sit down with Brandy Jemczura, founder and executive director of Seeds of Caring, a nonprofit rooted in Central Indiana and Central Ohio that’s teaching children as young as two years old how to serve, lead, and create change in their communities.

Brandy shares the journey of building Seeds of Caring from a personal search for meaningful family volunteer experiences into a thriving organization that now supports over 38,000 child volunteer experiences annually. You’ll hear her insights on:

• Why empowering kids through service matters now more than ever

• How to teach empathy, kindness, and leadership in age-appropriate ways

• The impact Seeds of Caring is having on families, communities, and nonprofit partners

• How Brandy transitioned from teacher to social worker to nonprofit founder

• Tips for parents and grandparents who want to raise compassionate kids

• Why adults benefit just as much as kids from giving back

Brandy also invites listeners to get involved — whether that’s participating with your family or becoming an ambassador to help grow the mission. Her passion is contagious, and this episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to raising good humans and building a better world.
