In Episode 28 of The Trigger and The Truth, Tina White unpacks one of the most frustrating, unspoken truths about building a career in real estate—and in life: sometimes, the people who should support you are the ones who try hardest to block your shine.

“Still Spending Money From ’88” takes us deep into Tina’s early days as a rookie real estate agent navigating shady brokerages, passive-aggressive "mentors," and the power plays of women who saw her potential as a threat.

This isn’t just about a canceled real estate license.
