Just finished an inspiring conversation with Gaby Proctor, host of “Real Estate Talks” and entrepreneur extraordinaire!

What stood out most in our interview was Gaby’s commitment to lifelong learning and her thoughtful approach to building both a business and a life that truly matters.

We delved into her journey from a marketing career at Univision to full-time real estate agent, her experience co-hosting a podcast in Spanish AND English, and the challenges (and rewards!) of working closely with her husband as a business partner.

Gaby dropped so many gems about the importance of preparation when teaming up with a spouse, how curiosity fuels creativity, and why seeking genuine connection with your podcast audience is everything.

One of my favorite takeaways: creating consistent, quality content isn’t just about the next episode—it’s about building a legacy and making a lasting impact.

Her perspective on health, wellness, and entrepreneurship was refreshing, and her honesty about real estate’s challenges—and scams to avoid!—is exactly why we love these deep-dive conversations.

Plus, we nerded out about podcast strategy and how building community is the secret sauce for podcast longevity. If you’re an entrepreneur, real estate fan, or podcast lover, there’s SO much for you in this chat.
