Stay in Your Lane: Reaching New Heights by Being Yourself

In this episode you’ll be inspired and learn the true meaning of perseverance and how it pays off when it comes to living your best life and building your business.

This podcast episode was recorded while Christopher Alexander served as the president of RE/MAX Canada. As of March 3, 2025, he is no longer in this role. The insights shared in this episode reflect the speakers’ experiences at the time of recording.

After 15 years with RE/MAX, Kathy Thirsk of RE/MAX FIRST in Calgary, Alberta has proved to be a force to be reckoned with. With a lifetime achievement award to her name, and proven success in not one but two very different markets, Kathy shares how tough transitions were made possible with the support of the RE/MAX network. Get ready to be inspired as she opens up about a health crisis and how it reawakened her passion for real estate and reinforced her belief that persistence is the key to success.
