   15. Celebrating Nonet Reese's 50th Birthday

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) For her 50th birthday, Nonet Reese turns the mic around on Start a Conversation and answers questions from family and friends in Fairhope, covering self-belief and the business advice that changed how she delegates. Her husband John Reese asks what she wishes she had started earlier. Nonet says being bold, along with knowing her strengths and surrounding herself with people who are good at what she is not. Her new daughter-in-law, Emma Claire, asks what she is proud of outside her career, which leads Nonet to her family and 27 years of marriage. Ansley asks what has surprised her about getting older. Longtime friend Emmy Sorrels draws out advice Nonet got about six months ago from her Empire Circle ladies: if a delegated project is 80% done, let it be done and correct it on the back end. 5 Key Takeaways Self-belief is worth building early, and knowing your weaknesses is as useful as knowing your strengths. Nonet said her boldest move has been understanding what she is not good at and surrounding herself with people who are good at those things. A career can be built in service of keeping your family close. She described building the business to provide new experiences for her family, and named 27 years of marriage and a close-knit family as her proudest achievement outside work. One person can accomplish more than you might expect, including after hard times. Turning 50, she said what surprised her most was watching people around her come through hard times and do amazing things, and she still has many things she wants to do. When you delegate, accept work that is 80% done and fix the details afterward. For decades she was the bottleneck on projects because she wanted everything done exactly her way, and implementing at 80% with small tweaks on the back end keeps the needle moving. A peer group can hand you a lesson that fixes a long-standing habit. She picked up the 80% rule only about six months ago from her Empire Circle ladies, calling it her biggest takeaway from her first few days with them.

   14. Menopause Hormone Therapy and the Study That Scared Women with Dr. Emily McInnis

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) "It's not your job to diagnose yourself. You come to me if anything's off," says Emily McInnis, an OB/GYN at Lee OB, who joins Nonet Reese on Start a Conversation to talk about women's health in October and why menopause and hormone therapy are finally getting attention. A DO who attended Auburn University, she urges women to speak up about their symptoms and to keep up with mammograms and screenings during breast cancer awareness month. Emily describes canceling all of her interviews late in medical school after delivering a baby with Kenny Harris, a choice that steered her away from reconstructive surgery. She also recalls being one of 10 VCOM students in a pilot group that rotated at East Alabama in 2012 and 2013, before the Auburn campus existed. Her exam rooms carry a QR code linking menopausal patients to Dr. Mary Claire Haver's podcast, Unpaused, which she assigns as homework. 5 Key Takeaways Be willing to change course when firsthand experience shows you a better fit, even late. After a simple, joyful delivery with Dr. Kenny Harris, Emily canceled her reconstructive surgery interviews and called her school administrator to redirect, during one of her last rotations. People surrounded by conflicting information value one advisor they trust. Her patients tell her it is so nice to have someone they trust answer their questions instead of sorting through so many opinions on the internet, and she counts that among her best compliments. Look at the whole picture, because a simple approach sometimes works when the usual fix fails. A VCOM speaker described a plantar fasciitis patient who, after medications failed, cured it by rolling his foot nightly on a frozen tennis ball. Old research can keep people afraid of options newer studies support, so review them with a physician. A '90s study scared a generation off hormonal therapy; she now hands menopausal patients a QR code to Dr. Mary Claire Haver's podcast, Unpaused, as homework. Take care of yourself first and tell your doctor when something feels off, since diagnosing it is not your job. This October, get your mammograms and screenings, and mention symptoms like a short fuse or breast tissue that feels different. Memorable Quotes "I feel like I do have that ability ... hold somebody's hand while I tell them that they have ovarian cancer, and then go then into the next room to an infertility patient that's pregnant and get to celebrate with her." "I had two people today that tell me that they don't feel crazy anymore because they started hormonal therapy." "You have got to make sure that you are mentally and physically healthy before you can make sure that the people around you are."

   13. Why Self-Managing Your Airbnb Fails for Remote Owners with Ansley Hinson

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) “I know everyone thinks it's a get rich quick scheme and you're on vacation all the time, and that is so not true. And even when you are on vacation, you're always working,” says Ansley Hinson, realtor with 360 Real Estate and founder of Southern Joy Properties, who joins host Nonet Reese on Start a Conversation to share how she went from working the front desk as a high school junior to running her own short-term rental management company. What began as helping one out-of-state family friend with their property grew from five properties to 25 across Auburn and Lake Martin in just one year. Ansley explains why so many investors "put the horse before the buggy" by buying first and asking questions later. She also shares what it really takes to get 25 homes guest-ready before a football weekend, and how she blends automation with the personal touches that keep guests coming back. She reveals her plan to guide investors from "concept to closing," and why she believes Auburn's short-term rental market is where the opportunity is. 5 Key Takeaways Most investors buy first and ask questions later, and that is backwards. Talk to a short-term rental professional about revenue, location and the bedroom-bathroom mix before you make an offer. A listing on a booking site is not a management plan. If you live out of state, line up local boots on the ground, trusted cleaners and on-call maintenance before your first guest arrives. Every turnover needs a set of eyes and proof. Have someone inspect the property before each check-in, and keep time-stamped, dated photos, because the guest is not always right. Automation should handle the repetitive work, not the relationship. Template your check-in and welcome messages, put your phone number on everything, and follow up on the reason each guest came. Businesses often start with the thing people keep asking you to do. Ansley's one favor for a family friend grew to 25 properties, so pay attention to the requests you keep getting and turn them into your next step. Memorable Quotes "I put a big emphasis on someone has to see it before guests enter, because for the price that they're paying, you just can't have these guesses." "A lot of people put the horse before the buggy. They get the Airbnb, buy the property, and then come to me afterwards." "You're always talking to me. Your guests are always talking to me. And I care, because it is mine."

   12. Real Estate Investing for Young Entrepreneurs: From Detailing to Rentals with Jones Garner

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) “I'd rather make $1,200 off a customer throughout the course of a year than $300 one time,” says Jones Garner, entrepreneur and investor, who joins Start a Conversation to reveal how he built a thriving multi-location detailing business at just 22—beginning with nothing but his mom’s vacuum, a bottle of Turtle Wax, and a drive to do things differently. By focusing on affordable pricing, relentless follow-up, and client-first service, Jones not only carved out a massive loyal clientele in his hometown of Auburn but also generated the capital to jump straight into real estate investing before he turned 20—flipping his first $32,000 property into a multi-property portfolio. In this episode, Jones opens up about the gritty realities of scaling from solo operator to leading a 30-person team across five locations, why recurring revenue trumps big one-off deals, and his bold pivot into wealth management to empower the next generation. Start a Conversation listeners will come away inspired by a story of hustle, intentionality, and the powerful results of betting on yourself—no college degree required. 5 Key Takeaways Start small and solve real problems—use what you have to launch a service, even if it’s just a vacuum and basic supplies. Focus on recurring revenue—prioritize building relationships and repeat business over one-time payouts. Put the client first every time—be flexible, accommodating, and reliable to stand out and foster loyalty and referrals. Embrace delegation to grow—hire thoughtfully, train hard, and don’t fear relinquishing control to scale beyond yourself. Invest early and often—turn business profits into real estate or assets that cash flow and compound your success over time. Memorable Quotes "I started my business when I was 17 years old, back in high school. I was a terrible student. I didn't have college in my future, and it really motivated me to start something and make something for myself." "The money's always in the follow-up. In any business, everybody's cars get dirty every single month, so you can continue to hit them. It might be a little annoying, but sometimes that's what you have to do to make a business work—don't be afraid to be a little bit annoying and push yourself out there." "After being in the detailing business for over five years, I realized I would regret not trying something different. If I didn't bring on a partner who is a very hard worker and super passionate about the business, I wouldn't have a succession plan inside the company. Now I'm super happy and grateful for that."

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) “If my name's attached to it, I want it to be the best, and I want to put everything I've got into it,” says Seth Snider, co-owner of 360 Management, who joins Start a Conversation with Nonet Reese to show how genuine partnership and unwavering integrity built one of Auburn’s fastest-growing property management firms. Seth shares how he and Nonet's contrasting leadership styles—his approachable, empathetic problem-solving and her firm, standards-driven decision-making—create a unique synergy that’s powered decades of collaboration, rapid expansion, and an ambitious company rebrand. From starting with just a handful of properties to managing over a thousand, Seth reveals why transparent communication, honesty, and treating people right are at the heart of their continued success and future plans for growth. 5 Key Takeaways Pour your absolute best into everything that bears your name—honesty and integrity outlast talent every time. Embrace a leadership style that’s uniquely yours, but partner with people whose strengths complement yours—collaboration sharpens every result. Don’t wait until every detail is in place—just start, even if you don’t have all the answers. Action beats paralysis. Hire for resilience and problem-solving, not just experience—surround yourself with people who can handle tough days and keep solutions front and center. Let your brand and reputation grow with you—refresh your image and processes as you expand, so your value is clear wherever you go. Memorable Quotes "Once they get past the wall, I feel like I'm very nice. So Seth, how do you feel like our leadership styles complement each other?" "I try really hard to make that road ahead, and he's like, I just want everybody to be happy while they're doing all of the things that you ask them to do." "Just start even though you don't have all the answers would be what I would say."

In this episode of Start a Conversation, Nonet shares powerful reflections on balancing community passion with progress, why leadership means serving the greater good, and how ambitious projects—from mixed-use neighborhoods to iconic hotels—move from blueprint to beloved local institution. With over 25 years of experience and deep involvement in city planning, she reveals behind-the-scenes insights into what it takes to guide growth while honoring the stories and voices that make a community feel like home. 5 Key Takeaways Listen deeply to your community—every opinion shapes the future of where you live. Take responsibility in every seat you serve; always put your city’s needs ahead of your own. Embrace the challenge of growth—balance passionate opposition with the benefits of new projects for all. Champion smart development; vibrant neighborhoods and better infrastructure begin with your input and support. Trust the process and share your story—your unique perspective inspires collective progress and stronger connections. Memorable Quotes "You really learn to listen and take to heart how people feel, how passionate they are about any change that might be coming near where they call home." "It's important to know that having someone have faith in you puts the responsibility in your hands to make sure you're always doing the best you can when you're in those seats." "When you're in a position to approve projects that you know will be to the betterment of the city as a whole, and also allow the revenue for the city to continue the services you hold dear, it's important to know that your challenges always come from a place that people feel are most important—and you still listen."

   9. New Construction Homes: What Most Buyers Miss About Customization

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) "You never know what you're going to have to tackle every day," says Sarah Heatherly, vice president of development at Louder New Homes, who joins Start a Conversation to share how real creativity, relentless teamwork, and on-the-fly adaptation take a new construction project from raw, family-held land to a thriving, 52-home Summerlin neighborhood. Drawing on almost 15 years in construction, Sarah reveals how challenges like small footprints, surprise retaining walls, and shifting market demands are met not just with expertise but with in-house ingenuity and a commitment to transparent communication. If you want an inside look at how a builder, agent, and sales team collaborate to turn obstacles into opportunities—and why so many buyers end up customizing and upgrading their dreams in the process—this episode of Start a Conversation is one you won’t want to miss. 5 Key Takeaways Surround yourself with skilled professionals—engineers, real estate agents, designers—to overcome challenges and elevate any project. Build your dream team from day one. Embrace flexibility; be prepared to adapt plans mid-project when unexpected obstacles or opportunities arise. Pivot quickly and turn challenges into wins. Prioritize transparent, timely communication across your team and with clients to avoid surprises and keep projects running smoothly. Make clear, open dialogue your standard. Offer buyers choices—customization and upgrade options increase excitement and satisfaction. Give clients room to put their personal touch on every home. Let the market guide your product—start with a variety of options, listen to buyer feedback, and adjust designs and finishes to match real demand. Stay agile and responsive at every stage. Memorable Quotes "I think every project has its own challenges. Summerlin was one of those. Most people have seen as we've started developing this property, we've added some significant retaining walls and had to adjust and pivot as we went." "We used that natural barrier, even required green space location, to have this transition between a smaller product and a larger product. It actually flows really nicely with the topo of the property, and we felt like that became something that instead of being a challenge, was an opportunity to diversify our products." "I think we are very fortunate at Louder New Homes that we have people in house that can be very creative with floor plan design. Especially even the house that we're in now, it's a corner lot. It's one of the most challenging lots to build on. The footprint was very small. We had to make adjustments to the plan. We made it work."

   8. New Construction vs Resale Homes: What Buyers Need to Know with Emmy Sorrells & Taylor Pair

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) “You do have to have a little bit of a special brain to sell new construction... the amount of brain space that it hooked up,” says Emmy Sorrels, veteran real estate agent with the home team at 360 Real Estate, who brings more than a decade of deep builder and buyer expertise to Start a Conversation. Emmy—joined by colleague Taylor Pair—dives into the “adventure” of new construction, revealing how every builder and client is different, why staging transforms the buying process, and how agent-builder partnerships turn empty land into coveted homes. From the savvy first-time buyer to the customization-obsessed client, Emmy’s perspective sheds light on the juggling, organization, and creativity it takes to thrive in the ever-changing world of new builds. If you want to know what really happens behind the scenes of those picture-perfect new homes, you’ll want to hear more from Emmy. 5 Key Takeaways Strong communication with builders is everything—build solid relationships and share your expertise to shape better homes and deals. Know your market and pricing—help builders back into land and development costs for real profit and quick sales. Treat staging as non-negotiable—stage homes to show buyers the possibilities and boost your chances of closing. Guide clients through every step—use technology, walk-throughs, and personalized touches to help buyers visualize and trust the process. Embrace adaptability—every builder and project is different; stay organized and flexible to deliver top-tier results every time. Memorable Quotes "I find that clients who are maybe at the lower end of the budget are sometimes even more picky than those who are building half-million up to million dollar plus houses, because those people are savvy but not quite as particular since they know their dollar is going to go a little bit further." "The selection process is always really fun too. I love to take it from beginning to end with a buyer client because they'll say, ‘I love the fireplace in this house, but I really love the tile in the bathroom in this other house,’ so it's kind of like mixing and matching Lego pieces to make their own unique home." "I think if builders are smart, they will stage a home because it really shows how you can use a space in so many different ways. Staging is very important, and that's true in resale as well; if you go in and your house is full of personal pictures, take them down."

   7. Women in Business: Finding Balance Without Burning Out

   📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) "Strength does not require hardness, right? So you can be amazing and a leader, but that doesn't necessarily mean strength is a weakness," says Nonet Reese, real estate expert, business builder, and community leader, on Start a Conversation. Drawing on her 25+ years of industry experience, Nonet delves into the law of polarity, sharing insights on how women in business can navigate life's dualities—from rest versus ambition, to pain versus purpose—while leading with both compassion and grit. Her refreshingly honest take on failure, emotional balance, and the pressures women entrepreneurs face will make you rethink what real strength means. Don’t miss Nonet’s reflections on thriving in chaos, turning setbacks into wisdom, and why believing a challenge is preparing you—not punishing you—can transform your journey. 5 Key Takeaways See setbacks as stepping stones—every challenge holds a lesson that can push you closer to success. Lean into adversity and ask: what strength is emerging right now? Balance your drive with true rest—ambition requires self-care to sustain. Schedule downtime and protect your energy as fiercely as your goals. Lead with both strength and empathy—you don’t have to choose. Speak your truth directly while remaining compassionate and empowering toward others. Pause before reacting—emotions are fleeting, but actions linger. When tension rises, breathe and respond intentionally rather than impulsively. Embrace every season of growth—life will shift, and so will you. Trust that pain or confusion now may be shaping your purpose and expanding your wisdom. Memorable Quotes "You're not confined to one moment, one emotion, or one season. You're always capable of shifting, which plays into several of the things it was talking about." "Strength does not require hardness. You can be amazing and a leader, but that doesn't mean strength is a weakness. We all feel like we've got to be nice and cordial all the time, when really, you can still lead with compassion and empathy." "Rest versus ambition—those are the two polars. I really have to lean into self-care for myself, because it's not laziness. It's part of what we need to be better humans, not just better leaders, moms, or spouses."

    6. Building Client Relationships in Real Estate: What Most Agents Miss with Sandi Williams & Josh Wyckoff

    📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) "It's very easy to get someone to try your product once. It's getting them to come back a second time and a third time and so on. That is the secret to success," says Josh Wykoff, a former Delta flight attendant turned real estate agent, who joins Start a Conversation to reveal how airline-style customer service and relationship-building underpin his standout approach to real estate. Alongside Josh, seasoned agent Sandi shares how, for her, success starts with people, not property. She emphasizes, "You have to get to know somebody and figure out what they want. Sometimes you have to help them figure it out themselves," highlighting the transformative power of authentic relationships and ongoing client support—even long after the closing table. Together, Josh and Sandi offer an inside look at the boutique brokerage mindset: from delivering "first class" service and hands-on teamwork to navigating negotiation challenges and nurturing client loyalty for years to come. Whether you're fascinated by the parallels between hospitality and real estate or want to discover how top agents turn transactions into lifelong partnerships, their conversation on Start a Conversation will leave you wanting more. 5 Key Takeaways Build real relationships from the start—focus on understanding your clients’ unique stories and needs, not just transactions. Always clarify client expectations—offer tiered levels of service and ensure they know the difference so they get exactly what they want. Stay proactive throughout the process—anticipate issues, communicate clearly, and arrive with solutions ready. Maintain connections after the sale—follow up with past clients, offer ongoing support, and be their trusted resource long after closing. Embrace the changes—discuss buyer agreements early, adapt to new industry standards, and confidently guide clients through evolving processes. Memorable Quotes "I try to provide as top notch of a level of service as I can because I believe in building relationships from the very first moment that I meet a client." "It's very easy to get someone to try your product once. It's getting them to come back a second time and a third time and so on—that is the secret to success." "I think it's always about people, not property. I want them smiling when they get up from the closing table—whether it's because they have keys in their hand or a check in their hand—I want them to just be happy."

    📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) “Being in nature isn't a luxury. It's for everybody,” says Nonet Reese, a real estate professional and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience, on "Start a Conversation." In this refreshing solo episode, Nonet reflects on how stepping outside—even for just a few minutes each day—can ground and energize us, both in life and business. From feeding birds by hand to soaking up the sun and seeking stillness by the water, Nonet shares simple, actionable ways anyone can reconnect with nature, regardless of their schedule or environment. Tune in to discover how Nonet's unique approach to being “solar powered” could inspire realignment, creativity, and growth, leaving you eager to find your own peace in the natural world. 5 Key Takeaways Nature is for everyone, not a luxury—step outside daily, even for five minutes, and let nature recharge your mind and energy. Break the cycle of distraction—use grounding moments outdoors to reset your focus and conquer negativity fast. Reconnect with your roots—schedule quiet time in nature each week to realign your goals and intentions. Find your simple nature ritual—feed the birds, walk the block, or just feel grass under your feet, and let it restore your balance. Don’t keep it to yourself—share how you ground yourself in nature and encourage others to find their own peace outside. Memorable Quotes "Being in nature isn't a luxury. It's for everybody. Young, old, boy, girl. It's out there and we need to get out and enjoy it." "I feel taking those five or ten minutes to be outside, to feel the warmth on your skin, eyes, hair, and feet—whether in shoes or not—is important. Being restful and appreciative, feeling thankful and present in nature, makes a difference." "Your environment matters, how you’re taking care of yourself matters. Whether you're using the sun, the water, or the beauty of a space you've created and cultivated yourself, those are all moments where you really need to take the time to come back to center."

    4. The Secret Behind Thriving Gardens and Thriving Communities with Rex Ponder

    📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) "It's about beautifying the world one customer at a time," says Rex Ponder, third-generation horticulturist and community connector, who joins Start a Conversation to share wisdom from a lifetime spent in Alabama's soil. In this episode, Rex unearths the secrets behind thriving gardens and thriving communities, revealing why relationships—not just roots—grow deepest when it comes to plants, people, and place. From the best plants for the Southeast, to demystifying organics and native species, and even how talking to your houseplants might just make all the difference, Rex offers learnings that go far beyond the garden gate. Whether you're nurturing curb appeal or cultivating resilience, his practical tips and storytelling will leave you eager to learn more about growing both your green thumb and your neighborhood. 5 Key Takeaways Building relationships is the root of great gardening and thriving communities—connect with your local experts and neighbors for advice and camaraderie. Don’t just pick plants by looks—ask questions about soil, sunlight, and native varieties before you buy to ensure lasting success. Be proactive, not reactive—prep your gardens early with proper fungus and insect controls, tailored to your environment, to avoid headaches later. Go organic when you can—research animal- and kid-friendly products so your gardening enhances your home safely for all. Invest in knowledge for houseplants too—learn about lighting, repotting, and specific needs so your indoor oasis flourishes rather than flops. Memorable Quotes "I told you we set up kind of our philosophy as beautifying the world one customer at a time. And that's kind of what we do—helping them go back and beautify their yard or business, and that overall helps beautify the world." "It's more about those relationships with people that I have had as customers for many years that have become just friends. As I work with them, it's more than just selling a plant or telling them how to plant it." "If you're killing ivy, we've got a problem. We're not selling you any more ivy until I talk to you and find out what you're doing, why this ivy isn't thriving. Because I said, if you're killing ivy, we've got a problem. So I talked to her about her conditions and where she was using them, pots, how often to water, and the sun/shade factor. After a while, she got to where she was doing well."

    3: How Claire Goldman Discovered the Winning Blueprint to Scaling a Landscape Business

    📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) "You can hide bad architecture with landscaping. You can't hide bad landscaping," says Claire Goldman, co-owner and design lead of R&R Landscape, as she joins Start a Conversation to talk about how outdoor spaces can elevate not just a home’s value but its entire emotional impact. Claire, who went from employee to owner, shares her passion for connecting people to the outdoors, her journey as a woman business leader in a male-dominated industry, and how she and her husband learned to balance marriage and management. Claire reveals the surprising ROI of landscaping—both financially and emotionally—and why trees are the single most impactful investment new homeowners can make. She discusses her role in shaping the design-build focus of R&R, the value of national peer groups, and the lessons that came from learning to say no, so her business could scale the right way. Along the way, she opens up about building a company culture that encourages authenticity, connection, and continual learning. Tune into this episode of Start a Conversation to discover why curb appeal is more than a first impression—and how purposeful, creative landscaping can transform the way you live in and love your home. 5 Key Takeaways Find your unique strengths—don’t settle for fitting in; embrace what makes you different and confidently bring it to every table you enter. Invest in your outdoor space. Trees, landscape design, and quality hardscapes don’t just make your home beautiful— they boost its value and your joy. Seek out learning and mentorship—peer groups and industry connections fast-track your evolution from skilled worker to empowered leader. Set boundaries in your business. Clarify what you do best, say no to distractions, and focus fiercely on mastery to attract the right clients. Stay connected with other driven, supportive people—build relationships that fuel your growth, offer perspective, and remind you you’re not alone on the journey. Memorable Quotes "I think the skills that we bring that are different sometimes can make us feel self-conscious, but those are also what's needed. Learning how to be proud of what makes you different instead of feeling like you have to assimilate into whatever room you're walking into is not easy, but it's important and it's an effective way to maximize whatever opportunity you have." "We learned that we can't train crews across different quality levels. That was the catalyst of us clarifying our identity. We don't have to be everything to everyone; we need to understand what we do well and make sure we do it to a level of as close to mastery as we can get it." "The single most impactful thing people can do in their landscapes is get some trees in and let them start maturing, especially because we deal with so much new construction and we're lacking that. If you think about a $1,000 tree today, that's a $10,000 tree in 10 years."

    2.The Importance of Stress Reduction in Boosting Your Cardiac Wellness with Kate Ruud

    📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) “Women do not always have the typical signs and symptoms associated with heart disease—or the things that we see on TV, the jaw, the chest, all of those things,” says Kate Ruud, director of critical care at East Alabama Medical Center, who joins Start a Conversation to reveal why heart disease has stubbornly remained the number one killer for over a century—and why it continues to catch women by surprise. Today, Kate shares the unexpected factors that put women at risk, from misattributed symptoms to the cardiovascular implications of menopause and pregnancy. She explains why sleep, stress, and even lifestyle changes as simple as mindful breathing can make all the difference. With a background in cardiac ICU nursing, Kate brings both clinical depth and practical wisdom to help listeners take heart health seriously—especially when “small changes can make a huge difference.” Tune in to Start a Conversation to learn why your habits, genetics, and stress might be more central to heart disease risk than you ever realized—and why paying attention to your body could save your life. 5 Key Takeaways Your heart sends signals—don’t ignore them. Take symptoms seriously and seek help fast; your body is talking, so listen and act. Regular check-ups save lives. Schedule routine visits and know your numbers—catch risks early and stay ahead of heart disease. Small changes yield big results. Prioritize sleep, stress relief, exercise, and a Mediterranean-style diet—progress isn’t all-or-nothing. Don’t write off stress—manage it intentionally. Build stress-reduction and breathing techniques into your routine; your heart will thank you. Moderation is your superpower. Enjoy treats, alcohol, and indulgences in balance but ditch the smoking for good—your future self depends on it. Memorable Quotes "Women do not always have the typical signs and symptoms associated with heart disease or the things that we see on TV—the jaw, the chest, all of those things. Women are also much more likely to write their symptoms off as anxiety or back pain. Having those atypical symptoms and then being much more hesitant to seek help are some of the reasons that women can get themselves in trouble." "Our heart works primarily as a pump, but what it services is the rest of our body and those blood vessels. So when our heart isn’t working as well as a pump, we’re not feeding all of our important arteries and organs like we should be." "I think it’s really important to have regular checkups, know your numbers, and pay attention to any symptoms you’re feeling. Small changes can make a huge difference. The sooner we can do things, the better."

    1: Discovering the Power of Community to Strengthen Heart Health with Sara Teel

    📺 Watch the Video on Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/6RqgT6bTyqAjQDGr67XyTH?si=5d1566cd22ce41c0) & YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@startaconversationpodcast?sub_confirmation=1) “Some people who have never enjoyed exercising will come to TRU40 class and tell me after class, oh my goodness, I love that so much. I’ve never actually liked exercising until this moment. So try it out, can’t hurt,” says Sara Teel, owner of TRU40 Auburn, who joins the show to reveal how reimagining movement as self-care can transform not just your physical fitness but your entire relationship to yourself. From her beginnings as a 4th-grade teacher to leading an empowering fitness community, Sara shares the unexpected ways group exercise cultivates connection, resilience, and joy—even for those who’ve never loved the gym. She explains how TRU40’s signature blend of heart-healthy workouts and supportive community helps people of all backgrounds unlock functional strength and rediscover the joy of moving, often for the first time. Sara offers candid stories of clients who overcame health hurdles, revealing that transformation lies not in punishment, but in finding a space that grounds and fills you up from within. Ready to rethink what loving yourself can look like? Tune in to Start a Conversation and discover how Sara Teel is redefining movement, heart health, and self-care—one class, one story, one heart at a time. 5 Key Takeaways Moving your body is essential—not just for your heart, but your mind and everyday life. Find an activity that works for you and make movement a joyful, regular part of your self-care. Community matters. Whether you thrive in group exercise or prefer solo walks, choose spaces and people that uplift and motivate you. Self-care isn’t about luxury; it’s about nurturing yourself in ways that ground and nourish you from the inside out. Prioritize meaningful rituals that truly fill you up. Small changes yield big results. Physical activity can improve blood pressure, mobility, and make daily tasks easier—commit to just one class or walk to start. Don’t wait for motivation—try something new like a TRU40 class, even if you’ve never liked exercise. Take the first step and discover the joy of feeling better in your own body. Memorable Quotes "Moving your body is just so good for you on so many levels. Getting your heart rate up, helping with stress management—TRU40 was kind of my place then. It was a safe place I could come move my body, sweat, and get to know the people too." "I think you have to find what works for you. For me, that's with other people, but at the end of class, I love this quiet time that we have, stretching and just not talking, relaxing. You're with people, but you are kind of by yourself at the same time." "It's not just strengthening and making you feel better, but making you able to do things—just daily life things."

    Welcome to Start a Conversation

    Most conversations today feel loud, rushed, and surface-level — and yet the decisions that shape our businesses and lives deserve something deeper. Join Nonet Reese for thoughtful, elevated interviews with founders, leaders, and visionaries who care about clarity, growth, and building something that actually lasts. Each episode features intentional conversations designed to cut through noise, challenge assumptions, and explore what it really takes to move from concept to closing — in business and in life. If you’re an ambitious professional, entrepreneur, or creative who values substance over hype and wants real insight on leadership, strategy, personal growth, and meaningful success, this show is for you.
