“Ultimately, we want this to serve our clients, right? And everything we do, we're asking, how does this help serve our clients? And that to me was a sign that what we're doing is working.”

Imagine a gathering where young leaders come together to share ideas and shape the future. That's exactly what happened at the RHY conference in Seattle, and this episode of The MY House Podcast brings you right into the heart of it. Michelle Overstreet sits down with Isaac Smolden and Jay Dagenhart to chat about their experiences at the conference and what it means for the future of MY House.
