Hello everyone, welcome back to another podcast episode! This week we are excited to welcome our friend, Kayla Pennington, an investor in the Louisville, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee, markets. Kayla also attended one of our WIIRE retreats and joined us earlier in 2024 in CEO Bootcamp.Kayla started in investing journey in 2022 and now has 6 doors after ditching her golden handcuffs with a multi-six-figure job in medical sales. She decided to pursue real estate investing and entrepreneurship and is now scaling her REI business like a true CEO. It wasn’t that she didn’t love her job, but she learned that she was outgrowing it and the company was heading in a different direction than what she wanted out of her own life. She made the decision to pivot and never looked back.One lesson Kayla shares that we think will truly resonate with our audience is the importance of finding your tribe. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely. So find those who lift you up, drive you and keep you motivated to always stay moving forward.Head on over to Instagram and see what Kayla is up to next.Thanks for tuning in!  Resources:Check out Backflip in your REI bizCatch up with Kayla on InstagramGet your name on the waitlist for the next round of CEO BootcampLeave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram
