Unfolding with KK

A house can be perfect on paper and still feel hard to buy. That’s the gap home staging fills, and it’s why we brought on Tammy Wilkerson, CEO and president of Design to Sell, to talk about what actually moves the needle when you’re selling a home in the Richmond, VA real estate market and beyond. We start with Tammy’s path: the kid who constantly rearranged her bedroom, the middle-child peacemake...

Your next real estate advisor might not eat, sleep, or breathe and that’s exactly why we wanted to put ChatGPT in the guest seat. We get honest about how artificial intelligence is already influencing home searches, pricing expectations, marketing, lending, and the everyday decisions buyers and sellers make before they ever talk to an agent. We walk through the practical wins of AI in real estate:...

The real estate market isn’t just “good” or “bad” right now. It’s confusing because it’s multiple markets happening at once, and the difference between a buyer’s experience and a seller’s experience can be night and day. I want to slow the noise down and talk about what’s actually driving today’s housing market, using real numbers and real-world patterns I see every day. We start with the uncomfor...

Your kid is small until they’re suddenly not. I sat down with my 10-year-old son at the end of his lower school years, and what started as a simple check-in turned into a surprisingly honest conversation about growing up, letting go, and walking into middle school with confidence. We talk about what he loves right now (math, swimming, golf), what he’ll miss most, and why his school has felt like a...

I’m sitting down with my father-in-law, Terry Krupp, a man who survived multiple heart attacks and then hit the moment most of us never truly imagine: left-side heart failure, a terrifying diagnosis, and a blunt choice from a heart-failure specialist. Surgery or hospice. Terry is alive today because of an LVAD, a left ventricular assist device, and he doesn’t treat that as a tragedy. He treats it...

The salon chair is one of the last places left where people still exhale. I’m sitting down with master stylist Tony Miles to unpack why that happens and what it costs and gives back when your job is built on trust, touch, and being close to people’s real lives week after week. We talk about the unseen side of the service industry: why clients open up once they feel heard and seen, how personal spa...

A messy start doesn’t disqualify you, it can be the thing that builds you. We’re joined by Josh Klemmer, a leader in the mortgage industry, to talk about what happens when you stop waiting for a perfect moment and start stacking tiny choices that compound over time. His journey runs from surfing and barely surviving school to finding purpose, building teams, and learning what real success feels li...

Aiden’s story doesn’t start with triumph. It starts with a summer job, a gym routine, and a sudden wave of exhaustion that made a reading passage feel impossible and a workout unbearable. What followed was a maze of appointments, conflicting opinions, and the kind of uncertainty that can swallow a high-achieving teenager whole. Naming it—dysautonomia likely triggered by mono and COVID—offered clar...

What if the life you planned wasn’t the life that fit—and the pivot turned out better than your original dream? We sit down with artist and writer Colleen Hall to trace a fiercely intentional journey from bookish beginnings to bold murals in celebrity homes and royal spaces. Colleen opens up about the moment she realized she needed a “permission slip” to put herself back on the list, how a three-w...

The glossy version of success leaves out the 3:30 a.m. drives, the thousand folded newsletters, and the sting of “you’re only as good as your last month.” We go there. As sisters who built careers in real estate and lending, we unpack how authenticity, boundaries, and grit power real reinvention—and why the myth of overnight success falls apart when you measure profit, purpose, and peace. We trace...

A childhood of surgeries and speech drills could have written a story of limits. Instead, we explore how those early challenges forged a mindset built on service, humility, and relentless follow-through—and how that mindset scaled from a single hospital room to a community-wide impact. Sitting down with my dad, we trace the arc from parochial school discipline to the Golden Rule culture at UCrops,...
