You Don’t Have to Follow Everyone Else’s Path

What if building the right career isn’t about following the expected path, but finding the one that actually fits you? In this episode, Amy Sylvis talks with Talia Sader about beginning a career in commercial real estate, finding confidence in a male-dominated industry, and having the courage to change direction when a role no longer aligns with what you want. Talia shares how her interest in architecture, finance, and the built environment led her to real estate and why the variety of opportunities within the industry initially drew her in. She also opens up about leaving her first post-college job after only nine months to pursue work that felt more aligned with her values. From finding mentors and learning on the job to getting comfortable being the youngest person or only woman in the room, Talia offers a refreshing perspective on building a career through curiosity, thoughtful decisions, and the willingness to create your own path.
