She opens up about the pivotal moments that shaped her career, including a defining lesson in integrity that ultimately paid off in a big way.
From navigating uncertainty during the 2020 shutdown to expanding into new markets like Orange County, Renee offers real, practical insights on business, sales, and staying true to your values.
If you're an entrepreneur, creative, or business owner, this episode is packed with wisdom on growth, risk-taking, and building something that lasts.
