WEEEEOOO WEEEOOO Good episode dropping... I sat down with Claire VanderEyk — a Minnesota-based real estate developer who walked away from corporate life to carve out her own path in a male-dominated industry. Claire shares the origin story behind her bold leap into development, the creation of a Women in Real Estate Development retreat, and how she’s cultivating a powerful referral-based ecosystem of curious, capable women.

We talk about:

• The magic of building safe spaces for women in industries where they’ve been historically underrepresented

• Knowing your value and how to own it in any room

• Leveraging AI (yes, even ChatGPT!) to ask the “dumb” questions and get unstuck

• Finding mentors, making strategic introductions, and building a collaborative network

• The power of being development curious and why women bring an essential kind of energy to any room

Claire is a networking powerhouse and a beautiful example of what happens when you build a tribe — and then work with it. Whether you’re in real estate or just real-life curious, this conversation is packed with wisdom, heart, and actionable advice.
