In this episode of Unconventional Wisdom about Conventional Wisdom, host Kim Miller-Hershon sits down with her friend and commercial real estate attorney, Katie Phetteplace of Star Finley, to unpack how authenticity, leadership, and resilience can transform the way we approach business and life.

Katie takes us on her journey from a tough cold-calling job to becoming a successful attorney who leads with empathy and collaboration. Along the way, she opens up about her worst job experiences, the career epiphany that reshaped her path, and why building genuine client relationships matters more than polished facades.

Listeners will hear candid reflections on:
* How the hardest jobs can shape long-term resilience
* The value of authenticity in networking and business development
* A collaborative leadership style that empowers rather than intimidates
* Handling mistakes with grace and turning them into growth moments
* Confronting imposter syndrome in high-stakes industries

With her down-to-earth perspective, Katie reminds us that professionalism isn’t about being perfect, it’s about showing up as your whole self, leading by example, and finding strength in vulnerability
