TRANSCRIPT00:00:00 - Bill RisserHi, everybody. Welcome to episode 356 of the Real Estate Sessions podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you so much for telling a friend today we're going to do another do another shortcuts episode. This time it's Katie Day who is with the move Me to Texas team or the Move Me to TX team. Powered by Real Broker, LLC. We had Katie on the show about eight months ago, and she's doing some fantastic work with video and really focusing hard on her community in the Houston area. And I really can't wait to get back chatting with her. She had a nice change in her life that we're going to chat about as well. So let's get this thing started. Katie, welcome back to the podcast.
00:00:45 - Katie DayThank you so much for having me again.
00:00:48 - Bill RisserI can't wait to chat with our shortcuts episodes. It gives me a chance to go back in time. And for you, it was about 18 months ago. It was January of 2022, I believe you just started with Real about that time. So it was kind of a turning point in your career and some things. The first question that I ask every guest on these shortcuts is what's the most exciting thing that's happened for you in the last 18 months? Could be personal, could be professional.
00:01:15 - Katie DayOh, well, that's easy. So I had a kid. I had a baby in February, so I have a five month old daughter. So that's been the most exciting thing for me.
00:01:28 - Bill RisserThat was a no brainer. So let me just dig a little deeper there because I can't let that go. So the most surprising thing about being a mom, something that really surprised you, because I know I can imagine the prep work you did, the reading you did, you talked to a lot of family and relatives and friends, but is there something you just went, wow, I wasn't expecting that.
00:01:50 - Katie DayIt's funny you say that, because in almost all aspects of my life, I'm definitely a planner and I've got my lists and I've got my checklists and I do my research and things like that. And so is my husband. And we didn't do a ton of research or things prior to having Riley. And so it was a little, I guess, surprising. Right. So as far as things that we weren't sure about or things like that, that was pretty much all of parenthood so far, right. Which I think was a good thing to some extent, right. Just to kind of not have expectations, because I think that a lot of times people will try to plan things out and try to have like, this is our plan for having the kid. This is our plan for when we bring them home and this is the schedule that they'll stick to and all of these things. And we've just kind of figured it out as if we've gone. So that's been interesting, for sure.
00:02:44 - Bill RisserBillions of people in this world on earth have done the same thing. Right? Just let's see what happens and let's go from there. Yeah, that's cool. That's great. Well, congratulations. That's fantastic. Okay. That's the best shortcuts answer so far.
00:02:59 - Katie DayIt was kind of a softball for me, right? I was trying to think of something that had happened in business and we said personal. I was like, oh, sweet. Like, I've got something.
