Episode 31| Lauren Schreiber: Making a Difference with Tiny Homes

The Art of Connecting

In this episode of the Art of Connecting podcast, I sit with Lauren Schreiber, a real estate investor and philanthropist. Initially trained as a pharmacist, Lauren was inspired to transition into real estate in search of financial freedom.
As she ventured further into the field, she realized her true passion: helping underprivileged individuals secure safe and affordable housing.
Lauren shares her journey of moving from pharmacy to real estate, discusses her current project of creating a tiny home community, emphasizes the value of attending in-person real estate meetups, and shares the people, groups, and experiences that have significantly impacted her.
Tune in to learn about Lauren's mission to end the cycle of poverty and provide hope through affordable housing.
