TRANSCRIPT

∎ Teaser / Highlighted Clip

[Lauren Curry] (0:00 - 0:29)

I don't want to live life on defense anymore. I want to live life on offense and I want to be able to exercise in the morning, listen to podcasts, read books, you know, do what I need to do before the day starts. So I think that's really important.

And it's funny because every time I tell people that I wake up at 5am, they think it's like the craziest thing in the world. But I'm like, everybody should do it. I'm a huge proponent of that

I think it's changed my life.

∎ Guest Introduction:

All right, so today's episode is a special one. I've got someone on who, funny enough, literally wrote this on her Q1 goals list, be on a podcast. And here we are.

Shes got a background in PR. She's a real estate agent, investor, creative, system builder, momentum maker. I mean, she wears a lot of hats.

She's partnered up with her powerhouse of a mom, Ann Curry. And together, they're building something special out in Tacoma, from flips to daddos to mentorship events that are honestly changing the game for investors. But what I really love is how Lauren thinks.

Her clarity, her mindset, and the way she leans into growth is just next level. So if you've been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or just waiting for that nudge, this convo might just be your sign. Let's get into it with Lauren Curry.

∎ Podcast Proper:

Lauren.

[Lauren Curry] (2:15 - 2:19)

Stephen, thank you for having me on. I'm so excited.

[Stephen Husted] (2:21 - 2:30)

Yeah, it's good. I thought that was an interesting, when we invited you, that was on your 2025 list was to be on a podcast.

[Lauren Curry] (2:31 - 3:29)

Yeah, it's crazy because I'm sure we'll talk about this in our conversation today, but I've turned into a very goals-oriented person and I wasn't always like that. And so now it's just kind of how I operate my life. But I've been trying a new thing this year where I write out my yearly goals, but then I sectioned it out by a quarter.

And so one of my goals for this first quarter of the year was to be on a podcast. And I kind of was like, I'm just going to have to pitch myself because I have a background in public relations. So I was like, all right, I'm just going to have to try to get myself on there.

And then there was one day I checked my email and your assistant had reached out to me and I was like, and it was just coming up towards the end of Q1. And I was like, oh my gosh, it's cool how when you write things out, it kind of comes to fruition. And so yeah, I texted you and I was like, Hey, you helped me meet my Q1 goal.

So thank you. I love it.

[Stephen Husted] (3:30 - 3:40)

Yeah, that was great. And that was cool. When I read that, I was like, okay, it's good.

It's coming up. And then they start to kind of come to life.

[Lauren Curry] (3:41 - 4:20)

Yeah. And we just did an event on this. You were able to come to Tacoma, Washington and do an event on momentum.

And I think that plays a huge part in goals, right? Because it's always hardest to start. You write these things down and you're like, I literally have no idea how I'm going to accomplish these huge things.

But once you just get started, you kind of see things coming to fruition. And it's just really cool. And a lot of that is because of the momentum and just doing what you need to do every single day, even when it feels monotonous and when you don't want to do it, and you're having a bad day and all of that.

So it's cool to see the momentum play out.

[Stephen Husted] (4:21 - 5:20)

Yes. And the momentum also, and I think I brought this up to your mom, it also feels like there's a lot of uncertainty to it at the same time. It's a very interesting scenario.

You will notice momentum when you look back a year later and you look at all the things you accomplished. But then during that period of time, when you're going through those issues, whatever was going on, you feel like you're at a standstill. And you just brought up something.

We're setting up a community for new investors to help them buy their first investment property out of state. And so now we're going through all the backend stuff, like how to have a portal with a place where a new investor can go to pull documents or learn something or whatever it means and building a community. All that stuff in the backend takes time to build out, unless you want to pay big bucks for somebody to come in and do it for you.

But if you have a team that's never done it and you're trying to figure it out and you're working through it.

[Lauren Curry] (5:20 - 5:29)

It's a learning curve. You're like, we're just doing this step by step. I don't know if it's right or not, but we're doing it.

I totally get that.

[Stephen Husted] (5:30 - 6:23)

But it's kind of cool because you look back and I remember when I first hired my first VA and we were starting to shoot content and I hired a social media manager. He worked with us for probably about a year. And then he fell off for a little bit.

He went to another company and then he came back on. And then when he came back on, I think it was probably maybe a year after that, we brought him back in and he's like, oh my gosh, you guys have all these systems in place. You've integrated all these tools and you've got this whole process.

He's like, dude, you guys have come a long way. But during that period of time, it didn't feel like that. It felt like we're just trying to work through it, second guessing and always trying to improve.

But I think that's how you have to do it sometimes, unless you want to spend a ton of money.

[Lauren Curry] (6:24 - 7:31)

Yeah, you do. And I think that's why it's so easy to give up is because you feel like you're doing all these things. You get up in the morning, you're working on your systems or whatever your goals are and you're not seeing it.

And you just wonder after a certain period of time, you're like, okay, is this even worth it? Is this even working? I don't know if it's working, but you don't know if it's going to work until you see it through, right?

But I think that's why it's easy to give up and most people give up on what they want to do or their goals and dreams, whether it be like investing in a ton of doors or investments or losing weight, what have you. But the momentum, like you said, it's in the everyday and it's not until you look back that you're like, oh my gosh, I've come so far. But when you're doing it, it doesn't feel like it.

But I would say the best feeling in the world is when you do see it and when you're like, okay, this is working because I didn't see it up until this point.

[Stephen Husted] (7:32 - 7:49)

Absolutely. That's why when your mom brought up the topic, that was kind of like my moment of you asking, saying that you wanted to get on a podcast this year and then it happens. Your mom comes up with the momentum and I'm like, oh, I love this topic.

This is just such a great topic because that topic, you could play that in decades.

[Lauren Curry] (7:50 - 8:51)

Yeah, it pertains to everything that you do, even if it's just your family life or personal life or business. Everybody, I think, wants the momentum but maybe doesn't necessarily know how to get there or what do you do when you reach your goals? You hear a lot of people talk about goal set and all these things, but you've probably experienced this in your life because you've done all these amazing things, especially in the past five to 10 years.

It's like, okay, well, when you meet your goals, now what? How do you get to that next level and the next threshold? Because then it's almost like you're not satisfied with where you are.

You want to get to- Always. Yeah. It's a never ending cycle.

You're like, all right, I'm going to be happy when I meet this goal or do this. Then you do it and there's still that thing inside of you because then you've built up this part of yourself that wants to keep achieving and accomplishing and doing amazing things. It's just this never ending cycle.

[Stephen Husted] (8:52 - 10:17)

It is. You brought up a good point. It's really cool when you're in the thick of it, I would say, and you feel like nothing's really panning out.

Then it starts to and then you look back. I think sometimes what I've noticed when I know that we're on the right track is people around me that maybe are getting into investing or working on their business and then we're helping them out. It could be anything.

I was helping a client who, I've said this before, he's very smart. He's got a PhD. He works in marketing for a big tech company and he didn't know about Upwork to hire video editors or anybody that could do work outside of the US.

That was a game changer to him. He's like, I can't believe this. I love Upwork.

He talks, it's been well over a year now, and he hires all these people through Upwork. Then it's small, little things that maybe we've taken for granted that we've learned over time that are super valuable to other people. When you pass that information along to them, it pushes them in the right direction.

Sometimes I don't step back enough and take it in. Instead of always feeling like, yes, you have to constantly be hitting goals, improving and doing all these things where you have to sometimes step back and enjoy it a little bit.

[Lauren Curry] (10:18 - 11:23)

You brought up a great point. It's like nothing that we experience is for nothing because everything that we go through, we can use that to help other people. If you're working with that guy and you're able to help him because of what you experienced, all of that.

I think that almost brings such a comfort that everything that we're doing, whether it be in real estate, we come up with these problems in real estate every day with properties or flips or we're helping our clients buy or sell a house. Everything that we're experiencing, we're able to use that and we're able to help somebody in their journey. It's just such a good feeling because then you know none of this suffering or pain or frustration is going to be wasted.

It's all going to be used to some degree. It may not be tomorrow. It may not be next year.

It could be in five years, 10 years, way down the line, but nothing is wasted. I love that too, especially in our industry of real estate.

[Stephen Husted] (11:24 - 11:36)

Absolutely. Another word that's been brought up last week, a gentleman that had on the podcast was suffering. We talked in depth about that word.

That's a big word.

[Lauren Curry] (11:36 - 11:37)

It is.

[Stephen Husted] (11:37 - 12:00)

I go through that all the time. I feel like I suffer for others. I don't know if that makes sense to you, but I suffer for others.

I go through this distress and whatever I'm going through and then whatever that is that I break through it, I pass it to somebody else so that they don't go through it.

[Lauren Curry] (12:01 - 12:51)

Whatever that is. That's what you have to do. Honestly, you're like, I hate it, but I also love it, right?

Because then somebody doesn't have to experience what you've experienced. But again, I think that's when you're in those seasons or moments of suffering, it's important to remind yourself of that. Sometimes it's hard when you are going through these things and you're like, I literally just want this to be over.

What is this? Why is this happening? But taking those moments to remind yourself, this is going to be able to help somebody else.

Then I think that gives you a different sense of not necessarily freedom per se, but you're like, okay, I can get through this because it's not just about me anymore. It's about somebody else.

[Stephen Husted] (12:52 - 14:16)

Absolutely. I try not to check email, text, or talk to anybody prior to the podcast because the morning time is me time. I just want to work out.

I want to do some audio books. I use BlinkList a lot now that gives me 15 minute clips of a book that I can learn from. Oh, that's cool.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. Then they do these other ones that are short, like five minutes. It's an app on my phone.

I'll go through that. The reason why I don't want to check emails, and I sometimes do this, but I like to have a clear head when I go into the podcast. My mornings can start off with a million fires.

Even the days when there isn't any, I'm anticipating them. You're mentally preparing. It is.

It's almost somewhat of a little bit of an anxiety curse in a way. I wake up and I'm like, what's going on? What's in it for today on certain things?

You're building. You have clients. You've got all these things going on.

You're juggling a million different things at one time.

[Lauren Curry] (14:17 - 16:04)

Yeah. I think that's why similar to you, I started waking up at 5 a.m. It's been a few years now because I got to a point in my life where this was before I was in real estate and I wasn't necessarily as driven as I am now, where I would wake up at seven. I would start work at 730.

It was like immediately I was on the defense because when you wake up and then you start work, you're checking your emails instantly. You're putting out fires. You don't have any time, like you said, even for yourself.

That's why I also, I started waking up really early because it gives you a time just to do what you need to do and have this moment where you're not obligated to respond to people. You can have your phone on, do not disturb. You can put the good stuff in because the rest of the day, then you're in a way on offense because you've already done these things that you need to do for yourself before then you're putting out fires, dealing with rental problems or whatever.

That's why I started waking up at 5am because I'm like, I don't want to live life on defense anymore. I want to live life on offense and I want to be able to exercise in the morning, listen to podcasts, read books, do what I need to do before the day starts. I think that's really important.

It's funny because every time I tell people that I wake up at 5am, they think it's like the craziest thing in the world, but I'm like, everybody should do it. I'm a huge proponent of that. I think it's changed my life.

[Stephen Husted] (16:04 - 16:05)

How long has it been?

[Lauren Curry] (16:06 - 16:12)

I would say it's probably been about three or four years now that I've done that.

[Stephen Husted] (16:13 - 16:20)

How long has your mom been doing it? I mean, decades. Really?

[Lauren Curry] (16:21 - 16:37)

Yeah, she's a 4am-er though. I'm not on the 4am game yet. I'm sticking to five.

I think she's at like 4.15 or 4.30. I think one day I'll work up to that, but 5am is like the perfect time for me right now.

[Stephen Husted] (16:38 - 16:39)

What about your dad?

[Lauren Curry] (16:39 - 17:00)

Does he get up really early too? No, he's like a 7am kind of guy, but he's more of a night owl, so he kind of works till 10 or 11 and then he'll kind of sleep in. My mom definitely, her discipline in that area rubbed off on me, which I'm super grateful for.

[Stephen Husted] (17:00 - 17:19)

Yeah, it's a good one, but it's interesting. So, going towards that, it seems like little by little, but I get this creative boost between 9 and 11 at night. My wife, she's a 4, 4.30am person.

[Lauren Curry] (17:19 - 17:19)

Okay.

[Stephen Husted] (17:19 - 17:38)

So, she gets up and that's her. But here's the other thing. That's her morning.

It's her time. Do not disturb her. She's working out.

She's doing her thing. Do not get in her space type thing. It's funny.

So, sometimes I'll creep in there pretty early and she's like, what are you doing?

[Lauren Curry] (17:38 - 17:40)

She's like, why are you here?

[Stephen Husted] (17:42 - 18:13)

I'm out of here. It's like that schedule, but it's slowly changing because the more and more things are getting put on my plate, I need that extra time. And it's just a process.

And I see the value in it being that I'm not at five yet. I'm not at five. I'm going to get to somewhere in that range.

But then I'm curious how, if I'm going to be tired through the day, would that push my time I go to sleep at night? What time do you go to bed?

[Lauren Curry] (18:13 - 19:31)

Yeah. I try to go to bed by 9 or 9.30. Definitely in the beginning though. I mean, when your body's getting used to it, you're going to feel tired.

I would say it's usually the early afternoon, like around one. I don't know if you even feel like that right now, but around one or two when you're in the middle of the day, you start to feel a little tired. But when I hit that point, I try to just go on a walk or get outside because it, yeah, it just re refreshes me too.

And I feel like, and you are huge on biking and being active. And I've seen you talk about this on your Instagram, but there's just something about exercise, even if it's just walking where you get so many good ideas, like some of my best ideas and most creative ideas have come from when I'm just on a walk and I just pull out my notes app on my phone and I write it down because there's just something about moving and you're looking around at nature, which sounds so corny, but you're kind of getting out from behind the screen or wherever you work, if you're in a cubicle or whatever, and you're just able to get a new atmosphere, which I think helps so much.

[Stephen Husted] (19:32 - 20:35)

Spot on. It's so true. And I sometimes hold back from talking about it a lot because I know, I mean, I just don't want people, you know, I put in the stories, especially running, like I'll run usually before a podcast because it will like calm down my brain anxiety and all that and help me focus and be present during the podcast.

But it also solves some of the little things that are going on that maybe are little stressors in the back of my head that I'm, they're there and I'm working through them and maybe they take a couple of days, but then I go on a run or I go on a bike ride and I'll work through it and go, okay, this is what I'm going to do now. This is what I'll do. Or I get a creative idea and then I'm doing the same thing.

I'll voice record things and I'll send things to my assistant through WhatsApp. And I don't have my glasses on, so I can't even read what I'm saying, but I'm like, she gets it back. And it's like, well, you said that, and I'm like, oh, I know exactly what I meant there.

[Lauren Curry] (20:35 - 20:38)

Yeah. You're like, I just need to send this to somebody.

[Stephen Husted] (20:38 - 20:46)

Yeah. Yeah. I just need it from my brain out, you know, I'll voice record stuff and send it to me.

It's hilarious, but it's true. It's true.

[Lauren Curry] (20:46 - 22:52)

It's amazing. Yeah. I mean, before I started exercising, there was a period of my life where I was not, where I wanted to be health wise.

And my mom is, Ann Curry is very healthy, very disciplined. She is like the pinnacle of health goals. I love her for that too, by the way.

Yes. I know. She's amazing.

And I always saw that in her and I was like, I don't have that. And, you know, I was not eating good. I was not exercising.

And this was right before I got into real estate. And there was a point where I only had one pair of pants that I could fit into because I had gained so much weight. And I hit a point where I was like, I'm done feeling this way.

And I started slowly exercising, you know, I was walking and then I added in weights and I lost all this weight, but really the best part about exercise wasn't even how it changed my body. It was how it made me feel. And I think that I wouldn't necessarily say it's a misconception, but like, it's a huge thing that I don't think is necessarily capitalized on enough when talking about your health, because it's not always about necessarily being like the healthiest person in the room.

It's just like, how can you do what makes you feel good? And exercise just feels good. If you practice like the muscle in your brain to even just get outside and go for a 30 minute walk, you're going to feel a million times better.

You're going to be able, like you said, you know, you do this on your bike rides, like you solve your own problems in your head. But when can you do that? If you're just getting up, working on your computer, caring for your kids or what other obligations you have, it just, I think it's an amazing tool and it's free.

You know, a lot of times it's free. You don't have to spend $50 for a workout class. You can do things that don't cost anything, which I think is amazing.

[Stephen Husted] (22:52 - 23:22)

Yeah. My wife works out at home. She doesn't have a gym membership.

She's got a treadmill in the garage and she goes walks when it's a little warmer out. But I call working out and cardio my selfish addiction. I love that.

And it really is. It's like, I'm very selfish about it because it makes me feel good. And you've said something there.

I really don't care the outcome of how I look more so on how I feel. It's probably the most important part of it.

[Lauren Curry] (23:23 - 24:13)

Yeah. And I think, yeah, I mean, when you do think when you're selfish with that time, even if it's an hour in the morning or in the afternoon or the evening, it makes you a better person to other people. It makes you a better business person, you know, in real estate, it makes you a better real estate agent or investor or partner.

Because when you're taking that time for yourself to feel good, and this is like, you hear this in every single book or podcast. So I hate that I'm even saying out loud. But when you take care of yourself, then like you show up better for other people.

But it's so true. You know, it's being selfish with that time. And then it makes you just a better person to work with and be around.

And it makes you want to do even more. So I think it's an amazing tool.

[Stephen Husted] (24:14 - 24:22)

So your mom's been at this for a while. So you've definitely seen those are all she's crazy.

[Lauren Curry] (24:23 - 26:12)

But she's almost like, to be honest, and she knows this. But to be honest, she's almost like so intense, that when I was not doing any of those things, it made me not want to do it. Because I'm like, she is so next level and so disciplined and seemed like at the time had no, like lenience towards just like living life.

That I was like, I don't want to live like that either. Like, I don't want to have absolutely like no flexibility and all these things. And she knows, you know, we've had this conversation and kind of like laughed about it.

But because I was somebody that was very much like, I want to go out and I want to like eat whatever food I want to eat. I don't want to be constrained by like my workout schedule or like, you know, my food. But and so when I was kind of like, I know I need to eat healthy.

She was so strict and rigid that I was like, I don't know if I want to be like, you know, like, like zero to 1000. Yeah, well seemed like, okay, that's not me. You know, like, that seems a little unrealistic.

But she knows she's an amazing role model in so many ways. She's been such a huge help for me. Obviously, personally, but professionally, you know, because we ended up working together.

And it has been amazing. And she has taught me so much about real estate and rentals. And even down to being an amazing real estate agent.

She's just an amazing person in every way. But it was definitely the health part that I was like, ah, that seems a little scary into this. Yeah, yeah, she'll take like a huge bag of lettuce and she'll eat the whole thing.

I'm like, you know, I don't know if I want to do all that.

[Stephen Husted] (26:13 - 26:16)

But yeah, doing together work wise.

[Lauren Curry] (26:16 - 30:01)

What are you working on? Yeah. So when I first started with her, my previous job was I was in public relations.

I worked for a public relations agency out of LA, New York. And so I lived in LA for a few years. I moved back to Tacoma, Washington during COVID.

And I moved in with my parents, because this is when we all thought COVID was going to be, you know, two weeks long. I may as well, if I'm going to work from home, I may as well come home for you know, to Tacoma for a few weeks. But then obviously, turned into a much longer period of time.

And so when I was working from home and working for this PR agency, my mom was like, Hey, you should really think about, you know, getting your real estate license while you're here making some extra money. And I was like, I don't know if I want to do all that. You know, it's always when you say, like, I'm not going to do something that you end up doing it.

Because I had been around real estate, obviously, I mean, a majority of my life. And I saw, you know, my brother and I during summers, we would spend our summers at her flips, we weren't hanging out the lake or doing any of like the fun kids things we were helping her carry out old toilets, and cleaning and, you know, lawn work and all this stuff. And so I was like, I don't know if I want to do all that into my adult life.

But when I was at my PR agency, and I moved home, and I ended up getting my real estate license, I was thinking like, you know, I really think I could help my mom kind of get her name on the radar, because she has so much knowledge, as you know, and so many different areas of real estate. And I knew how to pitch people, I knew how to get media stories and podcast interviews for other people. And so I was like, you know, I really think I can help my mom.

So when I originally came on, and I had approached her, like, I would love to help you with your marketing and PR stuff, I was doing a lot of that. But it has morphed into this really cool thing where I had felt like I was working for her in the very beginning with this stuff. But now it feels like we're very much partners and working together on these big goals.

So it kind of started off like PR and marketing and podcast interviews. And that's how we got connected to you, which is amazing. And I feel like we've known you forever.

But that's how we got connected to you. But it's turned into this thing where, you know, I told her, I really feel like we could get your name, not just in Washington and Tacoma, like nationwide. So how can we do that?

So right now, we're working on a few different things. We're working on expanding a mentorship program that she's doing. We do a lot of free investor events in Tacoma.

But I told her like, we should start doing these events across the country, not just in Tacoma. Because I feel like the more you get into the real estate industry, it seems like a small world, like any industry, you know, it's like this person knows this person who lives in this state. And so I told her, like, we should really start connecting with people who are not just in Washington.

And so right now, we're working on doing something in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is going to be really cool later this year. Yeah, working on building out courses and really just helping other people. But it's been a really cool, I would say, like partnership with her because she's like, let's do it.

She's down for anything. She's like, just bring me your ideas that we could figure out how to make it happen.

[Stephen Husted] (30:01 - 30:03)

And so that's perfect way to think of it.

[Lauren Curry] (30:03 - 30:30)

Yeah, like that has been really fun because she's so in the weeds with her projects. And so I've kind of become more of like the ideas person. And so I bring her these ideas, and she's like, all right, do it, just figure out how to make it happen.

So it's been really fun and really exciting. And being able to work with your parent has is and help them kind of like get their platform. It's just very rewarding.

[Stephen Husted] (30:31 - 32:24)

And when I first listened to your mom on BiggerPockets podcast, I was like, yeah, this lady is really cool. And then it was Furnished Finder. And I'm like, oh, she's got a great story.

I'm going to reach out to her. Let me see if she'll come on to mine. Probably won't, but I'm going to reach out.

She reached out in like two hours, you know, within a business meeting dinner, you know, and I was like, she's coming on, you know, and she has so much knowledge. Those are the people you want to learn from. You really do.

The interesting, there's a lot of people out there that don't have all the knowledge, don't have the experience, and they're the ones doing the courses and they're the ones like, you know, do it. And I brought this up to your mom when we were at the last event, because I can hear, you know, she was talking through some of these things. And I was like, you're the person that people need to be around and not just about being a really cool investor, getting up at five and how she eats and working out.

Those are all things too that come along with being a business owner and entrepreneur and investor. Like those are other qualities you kind of want to latch on to. And she has those, you know what I mean?

Like it's good. And I'm glad she's doing it, but that really leads back to, there's all these different, it's good. She's in the thick of things, right?

On these projects. That's like me, I'm going through all these projects out in Seattle. I got the projects here in San Jose as well.

And 10 minutes before this podcast, when I'm not supposed to be talking to anybody, I'm talking to my assistant and she's saying that we need to set up a community and we got to do this. And it's got to be tied to this portal. And I'm going, all right, who are we hiring?

Who are we hiring? Who's going to help? Who's helping?

Because, you know, how much more time do I have in the day? Already 12 hours a day. I don't feel like it's work either.

That's the funny part.

[Lauren Curry] (32:25 - 33:34)

But yeah, we live in such an amazing period of time because we have access to some of the greatest minds that have ever lived. And we get free access to them in so many different ways, right? Like there's podcasts, you can pay $15 for a book to hear about somebody's life and what they learned.

You know, you could go to conferences, but there's so many ways to learn from these big name people. And it's important to find the top 1% in whatever you want to do and just study those people because it can be very easy if you're just scrolling on, you know, social media or the internet to find somebody who's maybe done like something, but who claims to maybe do more than they've done. And so it's just important to like find the people in the top 1% and literally study every single thing that they do.

And I just feel blessed that, you know, a lot of the mentors that I have don't even know that I exist. They have no idea who I am.

[Stephen Husted] (33:34 - 33:36)

But I consider them my mentor.

[Lauren Curry] (33:36 - 34:06)

Yeah. But I consider them my mentor because I listen to everything they put out. I buy all their books, like everything that they come out with, like I consume it because I'm like, that's who I want to be.

That's who I want to know. And so what can I do to be more like you? And so it's just a really cool period of time that we live in.

But it's important to find those people and stick to what they say to do instead of listening to a lot of other voices out there.

[Stephen Husted] (34:07 - 34:48)

That's true. And I think people want to get around the people that they not only like, but they know them, they trust them, and they like their whole direction. Everything that they're going through is kind of like a key.

You want to jump on that train too and get into that energy, I would say. Because I do that with a lot of people that I start to, you know, see online or maybe I try to get connected to them. I did that to your mom.

It's plain and simple. And it wasn't just about her talking about, she did bring up her mentor, that journey, that beginning part. But then it was like the other things she was bringing up.

She brought up, you know, fitness and I could just faith and all those things. I'm like, okay, she's very well-rounded.

[Lauren Curry] (34:49 - 36:51)

Yeah. And I think, and I heard somebody say that when you meet somebody or see somebody that you admire, it's because you see those traits in yourself. And so I think that the internet is a really cool place because I mean, that's how you found my mom.

That's how we got connected. But you just get a sense about people, even if you're not, if you're like, I don't necessarily want you to be my mentor. I just want you to be my friend.

You can kind of sense it, even if it's over the internet. But we have access to, I mean, basically the entire world with a free tool of Instagram or Facebook or YouTube. And so I personally have been trying to make the most that I can of those tools in this period of life because I, and I'm sure a lot of your listeners and even you relate to this, but I feel like I'm in this period of growth in my life where I don't, I have limited my time with a lot of people because I know that this is my season to grow.

And it's a very lonely season, to be honest, but you have to do that in order to get to the next level. And so I've replaced, not necessarily replaced, but maybe the time that I was spending with certain people or doing certain things, I've replaced that with these mentors that don't know I exist. So, you know, I'm not always out on a Friday night anymore.

I'm watching YouTube or reading a book, but that's sometimes what you have to do. And so when you find these people, it's like, all right, I'm just going to stick to you. And I'm just going to listen to everything that you say and do everything that you say to do.

But I do think that it's tying back to what you said about finding my mom. It's like, you find these people on the internet that you're like, I want to be friends with you. I want to be connected to you.

But now we have that access, which is an amazing thing.

[Stephen Husted] (36:52 - 36:58)

Absolutely. It's so true. And that lonely part that you just said is definitely true.

It's a real thing.

[Lauren Curry] (36:58 - 38:34)

Yeah. Yeah. I went to a conference.

I don't know if you know who Ed Myla is, but he's actually one of my mentors. He's just my favorite. But I went to a conference where he spoke a few months ago and he talked about how when you're on this lonely road, you feel alone and you feel like it's never ending.

But eventually, your lonely road that you're on is going to lead to somebody else's lonely road and your guys's lonely roads are going to merge and come together. And I thought that was really cool. And it was something that I had never thought about before of everything that I'm doing, that it feels hard to do certain things alone and it feels hard to cut things out in order to replace it with something that might not even be here yet that's coming in the future.

Right. But something that's a little bit better, that's going to lead me to somebody else who's done the exact same thing and who's on the same path I'm on, whether that be friend or business partner or what have you. And our lonely roads are going to meet and then we're going to be able to work together or be together in some way.

And so that was almost like comforting to me because it's like, okay, when you're on the lonely road, you don't realize that there are other people on that same path. You know what I mean? Because you feel like it's only you and you're not trying to broadcast it to the world.

And so that almost makes it feel a little bit more lonely. But when you're doing all the right things, it's like these people come into your path that can help you and that you can help them, which is just a really cool thing.

[Stephen Husted] (38:34 - 39:38)

And that's what I think social media is really good at points, depending on who you follow. I know that there's times when I'm going through something that maybe I'm stuck in my shit for whatever that is. And then somebody that I know that I admire puts out a post that is like probably something they went through themselves and they've already worked through it now and they're putting it out there to the universe.

And then I grab that information. It recalibrates my brain and I move on too. Just like what you just said about, Ed, that lonely road.

It's so true. And you're going through that lonely road because you're in hyper growth mode and you have blinders up and you understand that some of these outside forces will distract you, will hold you back. And you want to go through these things a little faster and you want to absorb and get moving.

And you know that, but then when you connect to the people that have already kind of, they're at a somewhat of the same kind of point as you, you understand things and each other in a lot of ways.

[Lauren Curry] (39:39 - 39:39)

Yeah.

[Stephen Husted] (39:39 - 39:52)

It's really cool. It is really cool. This is what podcasting, like podcasts, some of my guests, we go right through this type of, you know, talking points.

That is great.

[Lauren Curry] (39:52 - 41:21)

It really does. And I love how that happens. But I, and I strongly believe that, you know, these people come into your life because you've done all the right things.

Like you did all the right things up until you launched the podcast that led you to meeting to these various people and getting connected to even more people because of those people. But it's because you did what you had to do to get there. Right.

And I think when you hit a point of momentum and growth that we talked about earlier, you kind of realize, like, I have to be my own biggest protector because nobody's going to protect me like I can protect me. And that's really hard. But when you are growing so much and you're learning so much and you get this mindset and like this mind shift, you kind of know, like if I go do that or hang out with these people, I know that it's going to kind of mess with that mind shift.

And I can't do that because you're in your zone. You're like, I can't get out of my zone. It can be lonely.

But, you know, like you mentioned it, it leads you to other people that have been through the same thing. And there's almost this like string attaching you that you can't even explain. But you're like, we've been through this together so we can relate on this together.

And it gives you this connection that you wouldn't have been able to get otherwise, which is just amazing.

[Stephen Husted] (41:22 - 42:21)

Yeah, I think the beginning of the year, I think when I went out to the event your mom had, it was kind of interesting to go through all these different like full circle moments and just the whole connection to Seattle back in the 90s for me up to now. It's so interesting. I look, I keep going through that process over and over, you know, or just how I ended up meeting people at the BiggerPockets conference that were from Seattle that got on the podcast.

And then it was your mom kind of sealed the deal on everything. After your mom, I was on a plane three weeks later. And it's just, that's how life shows up.

And I spoke to a lady that went to the Momentum event. She follows me on Instagram and I just had another conversation with her and it's just cool because she's trying to lead into getting, you know, buying investment properties and working through this, you know, and I had a 30-minute conversation with her and, you know, we finished and she was just like, okay, you put me on a different path here now. Like, thank you so much.

[Lauren Curry] (42:21 - 42:22)

I love that. I love that.

[Stephen Husted] (42:23 - 42:42)

She was so cool. She was so cool. I love that.

Yeah, it made my day. Like she just, you know what I mean? Like you give all that energy from something that you're going through and you just give it over to her like, here, I've already worked through this.

Now you go through yours and you pass it along down the road to somebody else.

[Lauren Curry] (42:42 - 43:20)

But, you know, if you track it back, it's like that's all because you took a leap of faith and reached out to one person in Tacoma, Washington that then led you to this group of 75 people that, you know, that brought that lady to you. And then who knows who she's going to introduce you to, you know, it's just, I just love when that happens, but it's all because you decide to take that leap of faith and be like, I'm just going to ask this random lady from BiggerPockets if she'll be on my podcast and she might not respond, but we'll see what she says. And here we are.

[Stephen Husted] (43:21 - 43:31)

Absolutely. So let's talk about some of the projects you guys have going on. Yeah.

What are you guys working on together? Like what are you guys partnering on?

[Lauren Curry] (43:32 - 46:00)

Yeah. So one really cool thing that we got to do together is I have one rental right now in Tacoma and I had approached her, it was probably a year and a half ago now, because she had bought this fire damaged house in Tacoma from a wholesaler and she's going to have to tear it down and build something new. And I was at that point looking to buy my second property because I had pulled a home equity line of credit out of my first house.

And so I had this chunk of money that I was like, okay, I want to, you know, buy another property. I don't know where that's going to come from. I didn't have to.

And so she bought this fire damaged house and she was going to build a new single family home on it. And there's room for a DADU in the backyard. And so I had approached her and I was like, Hey, how much are you planning on listing this house for when it's done?

And she told me, and I said, okay, if I can come up with enough money to buy that house from you for whatever you're going to list it for, could you just sell it to me and not put it on the market? And she agreed. And so about six months ago, the single family home was completed.

So I got to see how the new construction thing works, which was really cool. It was an amazing experience. And it's definitely different from anything that I have experienced before in real estate, which I'm sure, you know, it's like a whole other ball game.

But so that single family home that I now live in that I'll eventually rent out in the next year or so is mine. And then right now we're working on building a DADU in the backyard, and that's going to be done in the next few months. And then we'll rent that out.

And so it's cool to be able to do that together. She's very big, as you know, on the DADU play and kind of, from what I understand, convinced you or influenced you in some ways to do that here in Seattle. But it's a really cool opportunity that we have in this area to be able to have two rental properties on one lot and eventually be able to just split them off and then sell one of them if you want or keep both of them

But so that's what we're working on together right now, which has been really fun. It's been a huge learning curve.

[Stephen Husted] (46:01 - 46:05)

What have you been learning? Tell me some of the things that popped up you're like, oh.

[Lauren Curry] (46:06 - 48:48)

Oh my gosh. Well, I mean, in real estate in general, anybody who's listening that's in real estate knows you have to be quick with decisions, but especially in new construction, you have to just know. You have to just decide.

And I think that's one muscle that I really had to flex when the single family main home was being built is how to just decide and kind of also manage the contractors, which they are amazing. We're working with Tacoma DADU, but that's also been something of making sure everything's on track. And Matt has been obviously very helpful with that whole process.

Yeah. And so we're working with him and I know he was on the podcast too. And so it's just such a small world we live in, but he is amazing.

But there's just so many moving parts and just being able to make a decision fast has been a huge learning curve for me. But I just think that everything I'm learning now, I really want to be able to help my circle and my friends with, because a lot of the friends that I have that are my age aren't yet homeowners, property owners. And so a lot of this is like, I don't even know what a DADU is.

I don't know what any of this is. And so I'm kind of torn between this world of like all real estate, like real estate is life. And then this other world where like, Oh, I don't even know if it's possible for me to do this, but it's cool to be able to think about merging both of those worlds of doing this new construction project and DADU thing over here.

And then figuring out how to help guide my friends and people in my circle that you don't have to make real estate your full-time thing. The beautiful part of it that I have realized is that you can make real estate be whatever you want it to be. And to be honest, my mom knows this and we've talked a lot about it.

I don't want real estate to be my main world. I just want it to be like a part of my world that I'm able to use in other areas of my life. And so thinking about how can I merge like everything I'm learning from over here to like helping my friends and peers and all of that over on this other side has been something that I've really been trying to focus on.

And so being able to have these experiences because of my mom, which I feel super blessed and grateful for, I know it's going to help me like on this other side of my life. And so I'm just trying to like soak it all in, you know.

[Stephen Husted] (48:48 - 48:54)

Yeah and building is there's a lot of curveballs. Like did you guys have some pretty big scenarios happen in the very beginning?

[Lauren Curry] (48:56 - 50:07)

Yeah, it wasn't anything like earth shattering in the beginning. I mean this fire damaged house before they tore it down was like it was bad. It was a hoarder house and we were going to try to keep one of the walls up for permitting stuff and eventually like tear you know accidentally have it fall and then just build a new wall.

But that didn't pass with the permitting and so we kind of had to go through a whole new like permitting process. But Matt is an amazing person to work with because he's so connected with all the people that work for the of Tacoma and so he was able to get that permitting the new permitting passed pretty quickly. So that wasn't anything crazy but it just kind of goes back to like the new build stuff.

And even if you're flipping it's like things come up that you just have to be flexible for. And if you have a timeline of getting things done you know 99% of the time the timeline is going to get pushed because unexpected things always come up. That's what makes for interesting stories you know.

[Stephen Husted] (50:08 - 50:45)

Oh yeah I'm going through that right now on our third project in Seattle and I'm partnered on that one with my designer slash now friend that helped me do one of my projects in San Jose. And so she's got the whole designer you know mentality like amazing at that but she's learning now like the process and like hey they open up the walls now we got to change this and you know now we gotta replace the roof and they're holding back like yeah you open up the walls you find treasures. It's either good or bad as simple as that.

[Lauren Curry] (50:46 - 50:47)

Every time.

[Stephen Husted] (50:47 - 51:12)

Yeah and so I'm like all right well we got to move it forward and that's why then it leads right back to you know what did I tell you in the very beginning is as long as we buy it right and the numbers make sense and we have a little bit of flexibility in there then we should be fine. You know and we'll figure out other ways to add value to that property and then continue moving on. But the key is moving on and moving on fast.

[Lauren Curry] (51:12 - 51:22)

Yeah not wasting time because time is money you know time is money all the time like we got to make this snappy.

[Stephen Husted] (51:26 - 51:27)

Who's fixing what?

[Lauren Curry] (51:28 - 52:03)

Yes yeah oh my gosh yeah the same goes with even being an agent even if you're just an agent it's like every transaction there's something new that you're like I didn't even know this existed or this could even happen but we're going to figure it out we're going to move on. It's the same with these real estate projects it's like every time I feel like something there's something new but then you're able to like we've talked about a lot you know you're able to use that and kind of keep in your arsenal to help other people or so that you know for next time what to do or what not to do.

[Stephen Husted] (52:04 - 52:11)

Oh yeah it turns I mean it at first it starts off as a problem you're trying to solve but then it turns into an asset because you get to tell the story later on.

[Lauren Curry] (52:12 - 52:12)

Yeah.

[Stephen Husted] (52:12 - 52:57)

Which is so good yeah and I think people out in Tacoma or Seattle I tell this to friends and clients of mine that opportunity out there is gold in a lot of ways. So you could both you know husband and wife boyfriend girlfriend working and you find a house and move into the house but you got the backyard now you build out the datu in the backyard and then you sell that off let's say you make a couple hundred grand maybe three hundred thousand depending on location what you do now you just recouped all your down payment on the house you just bought and you got money in the bank on top of that you still probably have a nice size backyard depending on where you bought it's so crazy.

[Lauren Curry] (52:58 - 52:58)

Yeah.

[Stephen Husted] (52:58 - 53:02)

It's such a great it's a great scenario or it's an investment property.

[Lauren Curry] (53:03 - 54:43)

It's kind of it's yeah it's funny that it's like happening in Tacoma because in so many ways I feel like Tacoma is behind on just certain things but then with this I'm like oh my gosh Tacoma is actually ahead because you know in Seattle because we can do these things and then eventually if slash when it expands out to these other metropolitan areas we can kind of be the ones to help other people and like mentor other people on that and what we've experienced or like even the benefits of it you know like we work with a lot of investor clients or even just clients that are like I don't necessarily want to own 20 doors or 20 investments I just want to have like something that brings me extra money and we're telling them like you got to look for these houses on like corner lots you know we're able to mentor them right now and be like you have such a unique opportunity that not a lot of other people have yet and so a lot of it is just trying to get people on the train here before it becomes like a huge thing everywhere else it's going to be it is it will be it's a really cool unique opportunity and I'm like I love that Tacoma is on top of it yeah we could be the first ones and it's cool that you were able to take action on that and you know you're like all right I live in California but I'm just gonna fly over every few months and try to do this and be one of the first ones to do it in a lot of ways so I think that's awesome that you took action on it yes I

[Stephen Husted] (54:43 - 56:09)

think that was years of investing out of state and learning processes and how to put a team together because I learned you know everything the hard way because I really didn't have any support when I first started out in Detroit in Kansas City I thought because I was an agent that you know I could just figure everything out and you know that that wasn't the case I could figure out some things but a lot of it just came over actions and consequences of losing money and going through things and so it's funny when it got to the point that it got to Seattle and then I started having all the different people on the podcast that's when it clicked and I said I have the team I have the right team you know easy to get there two hours on the plane and then you get on the ground you go to the meetups and you start being around the right then you get comfortable you meet the contractors you see how the contractors are intermingled into these different like spring board or thatches group so I knew okay these contractors are in that group or my agents in that group you're on top of your game when you're in these type of groups one if you're a really bad contractor and you're in a group like thatches you'd be out so fast if you were screwing up that's just the reality of it because they don't want people doing you know screwing over clients and things like that so it all made sense but it's just funny that it took you know a very long

[Lauren Curry] (56:09 - 56:28)

decade to get to that point I feel like you went from zero to a hundred you know you just decided and then like a month later you already had a property under contract you're like all right I'm not wasting any time you know which I think is amazing boy was it and it's been so crazy

[Stephen Husted] (56:28 - 56:48)

because now we have so we have several daddos getting built and I'm getting like triple bills of everything here's a good example we oh that's fun one two three one two three one two three one two and we're gonna what we're ordering two sets of refrigerators stoves washer and dryers

[Lauren Curry] (56:48 - 56:56)

you know for you know like all these things are you doing like similar you know designs I guess

[Stephen Husted] (56:56 - 58:07)

for all along are you keeping them pretty basic so they're different designs and now that I have my friend who's the designer in the mix all bets are off now everything's designed she chose all the paint colors for me and it got to that point where I would just you know she'd fly out there she was she just got back so she went to look at our project and I said hey can you go stop by our the project that we're going to put on the market she did the quick walkthrough she gave me some you know feedback she helped me with all the hardware through the house the light fixtures things you know I mean paint tones which has taken a lot off my plate so I'm used to more streamlined like go in there make a thing good let's do these floors this color you know blackout hardware and let's move on but she's like the complete opposite so I'm letting her roll with that I don't think she loves doing it so I'm like you're like please take it away yeah and you know what she's really great at and she loves it and she's putting a little bit more flair I would say on a project than I would or if I would spend a lot of time to do it and I don't know if that's the best use of

[Lauren Curry] (58:07 - 58:57)

my time yeah that's it I was gonna say that you have I've just noticed that you have such a cool mix of gifts and creativity is one of them because the Cambrian project you're working on right now right it was the one that you sold before that the flip in California and it was absolutely beautiful I was like oh my gosh Stephen like what can't you do I know you have a whole team behind you but you just have this unique set of gifts where it's like creativity and strategic and smart and also like a great interviewer and great conversationalist so you're able to like do all these things but you know every project that I've seen that you've done is beautiful so I wouldn't expect anything less for your dad use in Seattle yeah I know and it's going that

[Stephen Husted] (58:57 - 1:00:30)

way you know I talked to an appraiser which was really helpful information because we took a single family two bedroom one bath 800 square feet built out the basement right two units and now we're going to build the daddy in the backyard so I was picking his brain it was this property is a little closer to the freeway I asked him how much he hit us on value as far as you know off the price he said well if it was a busy street I'd take off 25 grand but since it was closer to the freeway I took off 50 but since you have a big lot you're going to build bigger dad who's down the road so you'll make up your money there but he gave me such amazing information you know it was just a 30-minute and most appraisers it's hard to get a lot of things out of them but I was trying to figure out like about how these daddies work and the value for them and he was just spilling the beans telling me everything that I needed to know and I am new to it you know just like I just you know now that we condoized the three we now we got three property tax bills they just showed up so here's one more coming in threes more bills I'm off I took him I took photos of him I sent it to we have a dedicated assistant for Seattle now oh I love that she's amazing and so I just I first I look at him like ah and I go I'm taking photos I'm like it's off my plate now she's taking care of it she's got a handle moving on I'm gonna

[Lauren Curry] (1:00:30 - 1:00:37)

I'm gonna pick out white pictures yeah on to the next she'll figure it out

[Stephen Husted] (1:00:39 - 1:00:51)

totally one last thing what is one of your biggest goals this year that you really want to achieve what's one that's like you think about a lot you haven't done it yet but you want to

[Lauren Curry] (1:00:51 - 1:02:42)

yeah oh that's a good question I am in this phase of my life where I am kind of thinking about my own not that I've never thought about my future because I think about it a lot but kind of thinking about where I want to step into next because I'm like all right I got the real estate thing down you know me and my mom have a lot of and the whole team at Anne Curry homes have a lot of really cool stuff coming and so that part of my life feels like it's moving and going forward and it feels not necessarily settled but it feels like it's going at a good pace and so I've thought a lot about like all right what are other areas that I want to continue to grow and expand and so I'm thinking of my goal of eventually I'm gonna write books and speak on stages and things like that and really want to help other people in their own journey of self-development and growth and kind of use my experiences for that and so I recently started a newsletter called reset and it comes out every Monday and I am working right now on building it more into like a website and having more interviews and tips and tricks and growing it just not just for a newsletter but more of like a platform that people can go to and so I've put a lot of my extra time and energy towards that because I'm like all right I feel like I got the real estate thing down the team is doing amazing and we're doing a lot of amazing amazing projects for that side but I'm kind of thinking about my own personal like Lauren Curry brand which I hate even like saying that out loud but the things that I want to do more personally of helping people so that's what I'm working on right now which is really cool and exciting and I think everything I've learned in real estate will have a huge impact in that too.
