Customer Reviews
This podcast is incredible!
Candice shares so much insight that you really need to hear!
A lot of times when listening to real estate, entrepreneurial endeavours or business/investment genre of podcasting; they say a lot of generic things that you can’t really put into practice, but Candice gives you key things to do!
I can find myself rewinding, taking notes to make sure I remember what she and guests are saying so I can implement it into business!
Episode 14
This was my first time listening to these Podcasts. I am very impressed with the smoothness of the interview. Very conversational and flowed well. I was interested right from the start. Would like to go see this place now.
Love
I highly recommend these podcasts to anyone who is interested in real estate, entrepreneurial endevours or business in any way. I especially enjoyed the episode with Mike Gillespie. I have seen Candice speak at a Durham REI meeting and was blown away by her knowledge and down to earth attitude. It translates into the podcasts!!! I love them, you will too!
