💥 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why Renee sees herself as the “Home CEO”—Celebrating Every Opportunity

✨ Renee’s mantra: HOPE — Help One Person Every Day

🎯 Renee’s Advice: Be consistent. Invest in relationships. And don’t be afraid to hustle in creative ways—because the people who make it are the ones who don’t quit when it gets hard.
