This week is our 12th episode in our monthly Upmarket Mastermind series! Each month Reed sits down with a mastermind group of Real Estate Media Creators from around North America who are all at different stages of scaling their businesses, quality control and drone drama. With the mastermind format, you'll be able to journey along with each company as they navigate the different times of year and always changing circumstances RE Media creators face. The Upmarket Mastermind consists of: *We missed you this week* Alex Coombs of Northern Spruce Media in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Kelly Clark of Local Flavor Films in Atlanta, Georgia.

Fast turnaround times, new team members, raises, and managing expectations—running a growing business is rarely as simple as it looks. In this Mastermind, the group discusses whether faster delivery is actually creating better client experiences or just raising the bar, how customers react when familiar team members move on, and what goes into deciding when someone has earned a raise. They also share honest stories about leadership, employee growth, and the moments that remind you why building a great team is worth it.
