Kortney Ross:  Supporting Working Parents

Kortney Ross: Supporting Working Parents

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM June 14, 2024 Duration: 15:29

This week on Women Influencers, I spoke with Kortney Ross. She is a business consultant and podcaster who helps leaders support working parents so that they can create workplace cultures that attract and retain the best people.

We discussed how she grew up with young parents in a tight knit family, and became the first college graduate of that family. Her whole life she wanted to be a teacher, and that is a goal she achieved. She taught music in Nashville to children of all age groups ranging from Pre-K to High School. Her career began to change when she had her son only 2 weeks before the COVID Pandemic lockdowns began. As you can imagine, adjusting to life as a new parent and teaching in a newly remote environment was a challenge.

Eventually, Kortney found that although teaching had been a goal and a joy for so long, it came to the point that it wasn’t working for her and her family any more. She had to be brave and make a change. 


We spoke about bravery, influence, and DEI.

Hosted by Veronica Malolos, CCIM-Founder and CEO of Capital Stack Real Estate Group-the Women Influencers podcast moves beyond surface-level success stories to explore the nuanced realities of leadership, ambition, and personal philosophy. Each conversation delves into the practical strategies and formative experiences of women who have shaped their fields, with a particular lens on business and commercial real estate. These are not just interviews; they are deep dives into the decisions, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a career. Veronica’s background as an operator in the Greater Orlando market informs a grounded, insightful dialogue that resonates whether you’re building a company, navigating a corporate ladder, or redefining your own path. The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement. Listen for candid reflections on balancing ambition with life’s other demands, the philosophical underpinnings of a leadership style, and the often-unspoken challenges of carving out space in competitive industries. It’s a series dedicated to amplifying voices that not only succeed but also thoughtfully pave the way for others.
