@laurashin "Another reporter" here 🙂, I sometimes think about that divvying up conversation and the different paths it led us down. Glad to hear things are going so well!

I told my Forbes editors I wanted a change, so they threw me a bone. They came up with the Forbes Fintech 50 List and asked me to lead it with another reporter. She and I divided the list into categories and I took “digital currencies.” It was spring 2015. (8 years ago!)

I almost never post anything personal on Twitter, but today is the 10th anniversary of my being self-employed, and for anyone who needs to hear this, I feel compelled to tell the story of how this leap has led me to more career success than I ever could have imagined 🧚🏻

Sometimes when I interview people IRL I ask them to tell me the story of random items in their home or office. I really want to do that with the owners of this house (though I might be there for a few years)

Real estate agents🏡: I want to talk to you for a story about commissions past, present & future. Are you scrapping by or making more than you ever dreamed? Do you think commissions are too low, too high or just right? Wherever you stand, I want to know your stories & opinions.
