Leadership in real estate isn’t about scripts or sales metrics. It’s about people, perspective, and the ability to lead through change.

This week, we’re honored to welcome Stacey Borgmann, Director of Sales at GFO Home and nationally respected Keynote Speaker, for a candid and deeply grounded conversation on what it truly means to lead in today’s housing market.

With more than two decades shaping high-performing sales organizations across Texas, Stacey brings a rare blend of operational excellence, emotional intelligence, and lived experience.

In this episode, we explore:
🔹 The evolution of sales leadership in a shifting market
🔹 How strong culture drives sustainable performance
🔹 Why empathy and accountability are no longer optional
🔹 What today’s buyers and teams actually need from leadership

This is a conversation for builders, brokers, sales leaders, and anyone who believes the future of real estate depends not just on how we sell, but how we lead.

🎧 Tune in and rethink what “home” really means.

🎙️ New Year. New Episode.

In this episode of From Waterloo to the Alamo, we kick off our first episode of 2026 with Glenn Hart, better known as LinkedGlenn, a connector, strategist, and catalyst helping firms win work, build meaningful relationships, and grow with intention across the commercial real estate landscape.

Glenn shares how a natural gift for connection evolved into LinkedGlenn, a business development platform rooted in strategy, market intelligence, and real opportunity creation.

We also dive into branding, visibility, and LinkedIn as a true business development tool, along with what Glenn is seeing across Central Texas as we head into 2026, emerging submarkets, evolving asset types, and where opportunity is quietly building. We wrap with a little Austin flavor and Glenn’s go-to spot for his famous LinkedGlenn Coffees ☕️

🔥 New Episode Alert - From Waterloo to the Alamo is back with a conversation that every builder, developer, investor, and future land-shaping visionary needs to hear.

This week, host Traci Turnquist sits down with Jack Meredith, Vice President of Masonwood Development, whose rise from Financial Analyst to CFO to Vice President offers a rare inside look at how major land development decisions get made in Austin and beyond.

Jack opens the curtain on his journey at Masonwood, the pivotal decisions that shaped his leadership trajectory, and how early field experience in civil construction still influences the financial strategy behind more than $400 million in development across Texas.

From underwriting and acquisitions to long-term community visioning, Jack breaks down the art and science of evaluating land in one of the fastest growing markets in the country. Builders and developers will love his insights on risk, returns, capital strategy, and the real differences that set Masonwood apart in the way it delivers thoughtfully designed communities.

We go deeper into leadership, culture, and the future of women in construction finance, exploring what it really takes to earn a seat at the table and the traits Jack looks for in the next generation of financial leaders. Population growth. Land scarcity. Infrastructure strain. Rising rates. Sustainability pressures. Jack shares where he sees the opportunities, where the risks are hiding, and how he “future proofs” the financial model for the next wave of Austin development.

This episode is a masterclass in strategy, leadership, and market insight from one of the sharpest minds in Texas development. Listen in and level up.
