    From Fired to First Place: Aaron Woolard's Journey to Building a High-Performance Team

    In this episode of the Property Career Podcast, we're joined by Aaron Woolard, who recently took out the number one spot at Place's Annual Awards: The Celebration. Aaron reflects on his journey in real estate, from starting out at Place New Farm and learning by watching established agents, to navigating the setbacks that shaped his career, including being fired from his first real estate job. The conversation explores Aaron's transition from working independently to building a successful team, including the moment he realised he couldn't do everything himself, the importance of having the right support system and how the Place model and Josh Phegan's approach influenced his thinking. Aaron also shares his approach to leadership, trust and building a team where everyone can benefit from each other. He discusses why creating a sustainable business takes time, and why real estate should be viewed as a five-to-ten-year plan rather than a quick win. The episode offers an honest look at the lessons, setbacks and mindset behind building a long-term career in real estate, and what it takes to reach the top while bringing others along with you.

    It's Never Too Late: Naomi Butterworth's Move from Hairdressing to Real Estate

Naomi shares what prompted the career change, from a hairdressing apprenticeship at 15 through senior sales roles in the haircare industry, and why real estate finally felt like the right next step. She talks about starting out as a business development manager, the fundamentals that role taught her around follow-up, negotiation and communication, and the reality of her first, chaotic week in sales.
