Doing What You’re Built For: The Business of Self-Awareness

In today’s episode of the Dirt to Sky Business Podcast, host Jordan Hill sits down with her husband and business partner, Mike Hill, to share an honest and powerful conversation about career pivots, leverage, and personal growth.

Mike walks us through his journey from the Army National Guard to IT, and ultimately into real estate—where he’s spent the last six years building a successful, people-centered business. He opens up about stepping away from the security of a W2 job into the uncertainty of a 1099 role, learning the hard truth that your results directly reflect your effort.

This episode dives deep into the importance of self-awareness, understanding your DISC personality, and why trying to “fix” your weaknesses may actually slow you down. Mike shares how leveraging the right people—from transaction coordinators to assistants and partners—allowed him to focus on what he does best: building relationships and leading.

You’ll also hear a powerful story about ego, confidence, and a perceived failure that became a defining growth moment—one that helped him close hundreds of deals and build long-term trust with clients.
