In this episode of The Knowing Conversations, Christene Marie sits down with veteran, entrepreneur, and mortgage strategist Ed Parcaut to explore how life’s most challenging moments often become the foundation for the work we’re called to do.

From growing up in turmoil, to serving in the military, to becoming a trusted voice in the mortgage industry, Ed shares a raw and honest account of what it means to take risks, trust your instincts, and build a life that reflects your values.

Together, Ed and Christene dive into:

• How his childhood and time in the military shaped his mindset around trust and leadership
  
• The importance of taking ownership instead of outsourcing your power
  
• How to navigate industry transitions and economic shifts with strategy and integrity
  
• The real work of healing and becoming a conscious leader—without the Instagram fluff
  
• Why small business owners need both grit and heart to survive the long game
  

This episode is an invitation to reflect on where you’ve been, what you’ve overcome, and how your past equips you for the future you’re building.
