Confident. Striking. Caring. Expert. These are words that come to mind when describing Kristin Halton, a leading residential real estate broker in the US. Her 6' stature, paired with her striking blue eyes and platinum hair can throw you off, but don't let it. She's sharp, driven, hard working, and cares for her clients. She's built a team which now leads the US as one of Douglas Elliman's 1% top producers.  Kristin hails from the Pacific Northwest, worked her way through high school and college, then found herself traversing the United Sales training fitness facilities on how to open and run their businesses. By the time she reached Cincinnati, she'd opened a coffee shop, had her own personal training business, and continued consulting to fitness center operators. But she was cold and knew that Cincinnati wasn't the place she wanted to stay. On a whim, she took a mid-winter flight to vacation in Newport Beach and within 3 months, divested her businesses in Cincinnati and moved to start a career in real estate. 22 years later, Kristin and her team are recognized in the top 1% of residential real estate producers in the U.S. You're going to love this episode of MENTORdna.

Danny Sonenshine is the founder and CEO of Far West Services, the developers and operators of Wingstop restaurants on the west coast, as well as a developer and operator of Dunkin Donuts in Southern California. He had me at doughnuts! We chat about his undergrad days where he wasn't sure what he wanted to do, which led to law school and then a job at a law firm, which he disliked from day 1. He married his college sweetheart and she's been his cheerleader all along, encouraging him to try something different than being a lawyer.So, 5 years later, with no restaurant experience, Danny joined his dad into the world of franchise restaurants. And he didn't just traipse into a business that was already stood up. Danny had to get dirty and have patience. He learned everything from cleaning toilets to supply chain management, but the biggest lesson he's learned comes from his days at the law firm. Danny has learned a ton about what it takes to be an entrepreneur and shares his advice and stories, one which includes standing up for himself by telling off a landlord, thereby earning his respect. You'll love this episode of Mentor DNA.

When I talk to people about getting their MBAs, most of their focus is around gaining new technical skills like financial modeling or something similar. I strongly believe that connecting with classmates and creating new memories with those friends is more important than learning how to be an excel jockey. Bill Schlough is a perfect example of this as we never took a class together, but share fun memories from our days playing volleyball at Wharton - hours spent on the courts and traveling up and down the New England corridor for tourneys. Bill's held the role of Chief Information Officer for the San Francisco Giants since our graduation 25 years ago. It's no surprise that we chat a lot about the importance sports plays in the lives of our children and communities across the US. I incorrectly assumed that Bill, a former collegiate two-sport athlete and Olympics employee, seeks athletes in his hiring, so he fills me in on what he seeks in candidates. His hilarious story about the real life challenges Covid presented as he simultaneously navigated keeping his kindergartener on task during Zoom classes while dialing into his executive staff meetings amidst flying Nerf darts are sure to make you laugh.I've had a hunch about the long-term effects of innovation with remote work. The US boasts some of the most innovative companies in the world, but my experience is that ideas occur in serendipitous moments in the break room during your afternoon chocolate break. Bill says that being back at work breathes lives back into his work day, and he supports my thesis that being in-person is critically important to keeping the flywheel of innovation spinning.Bill's an incredible mentor and reveals that he loves giving back and particularly expressing his gratitude with the mentors in his life. With 600+ mentees over his career, Bill demonstrates a servant's heart and desire to help and guide others. This episode is truly inspirational as Bill is a down-to-earth executive with such rich and deep insights to share with anyone looking to break into the C-Suite.
