This week, we’re honored to welcome Yanelys Thompson, a powerhouse Global Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers Austin and San Antonio, whose story is one of bold reinvention and unwavering resilience.

Born and raised in Cuba, Yanelys began her professional life as a nurse—dedicated to caring for others in a country where resources were limited but determination ran deep. After immigrating to the United States, she pursued a degree in marketing and discovered her true calling in real estate. Eleven years later, she’s not only built a thriving business but also launched her own staging company, fusing creativity and strategy to help clients present their homes with style and impact.

Yanelys brings a rare combination of global perspective, business acumen, and deep empathy to her work—and in this episode, she opens up about the risks she took, the lessons she’s learned, and the values that continue to guide her today. Whether you're in real estate or simply inspired by stories of fearless transformation, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.
