Episode 2 is here: The Edge of the Dive

In Episode 2, The Edge of the Dive, Lauren joins Max to talk through her looming career change—leaving adolescent mental health to step into real estate. She hasn’t told her current job yet, but the decision is alive in her head and heart. Together, they explore what it means to trade a helping profession for a business often judged as superficial or greedy.

The conversation ranges from Park City’s $28 million deals to the awkwardness of calling yourself a “realtor,” from the weight of financial risk to the search for community impact. They talk judgments, hypocrisy, and whether authenticity can survive in an industry driven by commissions.

At its core, this episode is about transition: the fears that come with it, the excitement that fuels it, and the hope that building something genuine—relationships, community, and a life of balance—is possible on the other side.
