Tiffany Rosenbaum is a motivational speaker, business strategist, real estate investor, consultant, and podcast host with nearly two decades of experience in property management, real estate, and business leadership. With a background in psychology and an unshakable belief in the power of mindset, Tiffany has built and scaled multiple multi-million-dollar businesses—all while helping entrepreneurs, leaders, and dreamers unlock their full potential.
 
But her story didn’t start with success. Tiffany and her husband were once a young, broke, newly married couple, living in Utah with a 3-month-old baby and barely making ends meet. With no clear path forward, they took a huge risk—moving to Arizona on nothing but faith, grit, and ambition. During the peak of the financial crisis, while most people were running away from real estate, Tiffany’s father gave her the bold advice to jump into the market and bet on herself.
 
It wasn’t easy. Tiffany was rejected by nine banks before finally securing her first loan of just $63,000—an opportunity that would change the course of her life. That small loan turned into a real estate empire, proving that with leadership, resilience, and the right mindset, anything is possible.
 
In this powerful episode, we unpack her full story—the struggles, the breakthroughs, the strategies behind her real estate success, and the lessons in leadership she’s learned along the way. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, an investor looking for your next move, or someone trying to find the courage to take a risk, Tiffany’s story will inspire you to take action and rewrite your own.

In this profound and inspiring episode of The Code to Winning, we sit down with Todd Conklin, the visionary Founder and CEO of Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties and Coldwell Banker Commercial Prime Properties, a $3 billion real estate empire that has redefined the landscape of wealth-building through real estate.
 
Todd’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary—rising from a life of instability and hardship to becoming one of the most influential figures in the real estate industry. His story is a testament to the power of resilience, hard work, and the unwavering pursuit of a better life.

Those early experiences not only helped him make life-changing money but planted the seeds of entrepreneurship that would define his future.
 
In 2002, Todd founded his real estate company, which has since scaled into a multi-billion dollar powerhouse with investments spanning across 90% residential and 10% commercial properties. But Todd’s mission goes far beyond building wealth for himself—his true passion lies in helping others acquire wealth through real estate, empowering individuals to transform their lives and break free from financial limitations.
