Success Behind The Numbers
Why Intuition, Confidence, and Energy Are the New Cornerstones of Real Estate Leadership #50
In Episode 50 of Success Behind The Numbers, we sit down with Ashley Knox - a Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker at Keller Williams with deep experience in sales, marketing, and the art of building authentic relationships.
Ashley walks us through the evolution of her career, from retail leadership roles to navigating the early stages of her real estate journey during the COVID-19 pandemic. She shares how she leaned into education, surrounding herself with experienced mentors, and taking every opportunity to learn something new. Whether it was door-knocking or shadowing top agents, Ashley made growth her non-negotiable.
We talk about the value of relationship-building, the pressure of wearing multiple hats as a parent and agent, and why it’s so important to find alignment in both business and leadership. Ashley also opens up about what keeps her grounded, how she finds energy in helping others, and the leadership lessons she’s still learning every day.
This episode is packed with honest insights on starting from scratch, embracing the discomfort of being new, and turning everyday conversations into lasting relationships.
