280. From Discomfort to Growth: Practical Mindset Tools with Elaine Stageberg

Mindset can feel abstract, but today’s conversation with Elaine Stageberg brings it down to earth. Elaine has built a $400 million real estate portfolio, leads a private equity firm, and is a trained psychiatrist and mom of five. She shows us how practical time management, goal setting, and a willingness to sit with discomfort form the foundation for real growth.

We talk about why real estate is the ultimate test—and teacher—of mindset, and how every big decision stretches us to new levels of belief. Elaine shares how to help our teams (and ourselves) get comfortable being uncomfortable, reframe negative stories, and become the kind of leaders who can handle anything. Her insights apply to business, family, and anyone ready to level up.
