Below are the key takeaways from this episode:

  • Campaigning during a pandemic presents unique challenges, such as relying on virtual methods rather than in-person interactions.
  • Learning about diversity and unconscious bias is essential for fostering an inclusive environment in business and commercial real estate.
  • Privilege extends beyond financial status and includes considerations of personal safety and fair treatment based on race.
  • Using positions of influence to bring in diverse leadership is crucial for promoting equality and representation.
  • Tracy's story of overcoming adversity in the 2008 recession as a small businesswoman inspires and aligns with the podcast's focus on women influencers in business and commercial real estate.


The Importance of Recognizing Privilege: "We migrate to people who look and feel like us and talk like us and all of those things. So how do I learn what diversity means? How do I learn what others are experiencing and going through? Because I come from a very different place. I had to learn what coming from privilege meant." - Tracy Kasper

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.
