In this powerful conversation, Denise Fernandes shares her incredible journey from arriving in America at 17 with no English and only $1,000 split between five family members… to becoming a top-producing real estate leader at eXp Realty. Denise walks through her early years working nights, building (and rebuilding) businesses from scratch, and eventually reinventing herself into a high-performance agent who now teaches others how to create financial independence, passive income, and freedom through real estate. Denise also opens up about the mindset shifts that changed everything—doing small, consistent daily improvements, reading and learning every morning, visualizing goals through her mirror vision-board, and designing her life with intention. She reminds listeners that financial freedom isn’t just about money—it’s about who you become, how you treat people, and what you’re able to give back.
