Episode Details

Stacey Glenewinkel spent 15 years on the inside of one of the world's biggest commercial real estate firms, learning exactly how the game is played, and exactly who it's played against.

Then she flipped sides.

Stacey is the founder of Magnolia Project Partners, and she's built her business around challenging one of the most accepted norms in her industry: the belief that the landlord holds all the power. In this conversation, she shares a real example from her own work, a routine lease review that uncovered something her client's landlord had no obligation to disclose, and that ended up saving her client nearly $4,700.

We talk about where her convictions come from, a childhood watching her parents run a small business, a deep belief in looking out for the underdog, and the moment she decided to build something that stands in the gap for tenants instead of landlords. We get into why she defines success not by the size of the deal, but by whether her clients can finally exhale, knowing someone's actually watching their back.

This is a conversation about power, information, and what it looks like to build a business advocating for the people the system wasn't built to protect.

If you've ever signed a lease without fully understanding it, or you're about to, this one's for you.
