The business world often gives us this facade that everyone has it together, especially when you're in a position of power or influence. It's easy to assume that professionals in the real estate sector must excel in all facets of life—be it negotiation skills, market knowledge, or even simple math. However, what this episode uncovers is that we're all human; we all have our quirks, fears, and challenges—even something as seemingly fundamental as mathematics can be a source of extreme anxiety for some.
In this refreshingly candid episode, Lexy Glassman, VP of Development and Compliance at Platinum Real Estate Professionals, peels back the layers to talk about her fear of numbers. Yes, you heard that right—a leading name in real estate, involved in multi-million dollar deals, confesses her anxiety around mathematics. It's a shocking revelation but incredibly humbling, showing us that it's okay to be vulnerable and that success doesn't equate to perfection.
Jeff Fargo doesn't shy away from echoing Lexy's sentiments. In fact, he adds another layer of complexity to the discussion by sharing his own experiences—right from the sweaty palms to the nervous ticks that manifest whenever faced with the need to crunch numbers. The beauty of this episode lies in its rawness; there's no glamorization of the struggles. It's raw, it's real, and it's comforting to know that even those who have scaled the heights of professional success can have relatable challenges.
The conversation takes an even more relatable turn as they delve into everyday scenarios that trigger their math anxiety. Ever been to a big group dinner and felt your heart rate spike the moment the check lands on the table? Lexy shares an amusing anecdote about a similar situation involving her mother, turning an otherwise stress-inducing moment into a light-hearted and communal experience.
This episode doesn't just stop at identifying the problem; it also talks about coping mechanisms and the importance of embracing one's limitations while striving for growth. It underscores the overarching theme that it's okay to have limitations. More importantly, it's okay to talk about them and to seek help, whether it's a mentor, a calculator app, or a supportive community like this podcast aims to provide.
Through laughter, a few awkward confessions, and plenty of real talk, this episode brings to light the less talked about, yet equally important, aspects of being a professional.
