Why Playing Fair Is Overrated — How to Build Your Own Rules with Tricia Lee

Dec 30

#326: You don't have to play fair to win — you just have to play like you know who you are.

This week, we’re re-airing a conversation that’s packed with big energy, boss-level insight, and the kind of clarity that only comes from betting on yourself — again and again.

Tricia Lee is a serial entrepreneur, luxury real estate broker, and breakout star of Owning Manhattan on Netflix. But before the show, before the million-dollar listings, and long before she was mentoring the next generation — she was figuring it out like the rest of us: building businesses, walking away from things that weren’t working, and learning how to stop shrinking her magic to make other people comfortable.

If you're in a season of transition, ready to quit something (or everything), or just need a little reminder of how powerful you already are — this one’s for you.In this episode:

Knowing the difference between a growth challenge and pure chaos (and why perseverance isn’t always the flex)
What to do when you're the most prepared and the most underestimated person in the room
The truth about pivoting: how Tricia went from beauty entrepreneur to top NYC real estate broker
Mental toughness, mindset shifts, and why being your biggest fan isn’t arrogance — it’s freedom
How to show up as that version of you, even when you’re still building
Advice for women who’ve been conditioned to come in last — and are done with it

This is the kind of conversation that makes you sit taller. Save it. Revisit it. Share it with the friend who needs a nudge to take up more space.
