"What if your real estate career wasn't just a job — but a calling? What if every closing wasn't just a commission, but a step toward a legacy? These are the questions Makeda Smith dares every agent to ask."

Are you a real estate agent living closing to closing, wondering if there's more? Is your business truly tied to your purpose — or are you just going through the motions? In one of LUXE Life's most powerful and deeply personal episodes, Jennifer Williams brings together two extraordinary women whose stories will stop you in your tracks and remind you exactly why you got into this industry in the first place.

First, meet Makeda Smith — CEO and Founder of Savvy Chicks in Real Estate®, and the woman her clients proudly call the Millionaire Maker. What began as a bold idea has grown into a global powerhouse, reshaping how women in real estate think about wealth, purpose, and the power of community. Makeda has been featured on FOX Soul, FOX 32 Chicago, Sheen Magazine, and the Chicago Tribune — and her presence on LUXE Life has been nothing short of electric.

Makeda pulls back the curtain on how she built a global community rooted in collaboration over competition, and shares everything you need to know about the Savvy Chicks in Real Estate® conference, Licensed & Unbothered® — including details on how to attend the 2023 event. She also dives into creating multiple streams of income, building a business with staying power, and what it truly means to align your work with your faith and your purpose.

Then Jennifer welcomes Erica Johnson, fellow Coldwell Banker Realty Realtor and a shining example of what Makeda's sisterhood looks like in action. Erica shares her deeply moving faith journey, how the Savvy Chicks community transformed her path, and the inspiration behind her very own children's book — Rae Renae Learns Real Estate, now available for pre-order. It's a story within a story, and it is beautiful.

True to LUXE Life form, this conversation is unscripted and unedited — and the magic that unfolds between Jennifer, Makeda, and Erica is something no script could have written. Prepare to be inspired, uplifted, and ready to move.
