Carissa Acker swore she’d never be a realtor. Now, she’s a force to be reckoned with in the industry, founding Real Estate by Design as a mainstay in the top 1% of North Texas real estate groups.

She’s overcome a lot in the last few years, even before COVID came to town. In this episode, we discuss the profound mindset shifts that helped her get to the other side of serious health issues, and the death of her sister, on the way to becoming an even brighter and more successful version of herself. She also talks about what drives her to keep building her empire, her family and traveling the world – with some incredible travel stories included.

Please note: This episode contains frank discussion about suicide, depression, and related topics.
