Delroy Gill grew up flipping candy in the playgrounds of South London, finding creative ways to make money at a young age. When he moved to America, saw the game from a different angle, and started building something far beyond himself. Early on a broken promise taught him that if he wanted something, he had to get it himself. That mindset carried him through the 2008 crash, into real estate, and all the way to the top of the luxury market. But the climb came with a cost. The walls he built to protect himself also kept people out. What followed was a personal rewiring. Through therapy, mentorship, and honest connection, the work turned inward. Along the way, Delroy discovered a richer definition of wealth. One rooted in legacy, stewardship, and the freedom to walk away from anything misaligned. Today, Delroy is a top luxury realtor but he’s not just selling homes. He is building legacy and blazing a trail for others to follow. In this episode we unpack: • Why representation matters in luxury spaces • The childhood betrayal that taught him to never ask for help • How he built a real estate career during a market crash • Why survival mode helps you win but keeps you isolated • How his definition of wealth evolved through healing • Why alignment matters more than achievement About Delroy Gill: Delroy Gill is America’s top Black real estate agent and ranks among the top 20 at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty in Colorado.

It started with a joke from his childhood. Dave’s mom told him they could afford a new bra for her or hockey gear for him. Then something snapped. That moment became more than a memory, it became a mission - he would never let money limit the life he wanted to live. And so he chased that life - financial freedom, independence and success on paper. But the higher he climbed, the more disconnected he felt, until it all came crashing down. In this deeply personal conversation, Dave and I walk through the messy moments behind the hustle. From selling stolen video games as a teen, to leading a company to success while his marriage silently unraveled. We unpack: The tiny, quiet traumas we carry from childhood and how they shape our drive How independence became Dave’s shield, and what it was really protecting Why financial control can still leave you feeling emotionally bankrupt The walkout moment that forced him to rewrite his whole story of success What it actually looks like to build wealth with your family - not just for them Why vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s leadership (especially at home) About Dave Inglis: Dave Inglis is a Canadian leadership and couples coach, speaker, and author of Chief Family Officer. He’s the founder of Strategic Solitude, where he guides high-achieving leaders to step out of the noise and into deeper alignment. Dave’s worked with everyone from startups to the Royal Canadian Air Force - but it’s his lived experience that hits hardest. He’s not here to perform wisdom—he’s here to live it.

What happens when you climb all the ladders you were told to, only to realize they may be leaning on the wrong wall? Shane Fuhrman has worn many hats: attorney, entrepreneur, public servant, and now founder of a hospitality brand redefining the art of atmosphere. His journey has spanned courtrooms, boutique hotels, and community leadership, but the deeper thread has been the same: how do you pursue ambition without losing presence? In this conversation, Shane shares what the mountains taught him about slowing down, why hospitality is more than service, and how creating spaces where people feel seen can be the deepest form of prosperity. We explore the lessons of leading a community through growth, the struggles of carrying big vision while avoiding burnout, and what it looks like to live in alignment with both place and purpose. About Shane Fuhrman Shane Fuhrman is the founder of VALEA, a hospitality brand rooted in the art of atmosphere and host culture. He previously practiced law, developed and operated a portfolio of boutique mountain properties including The Wyman Hotel and The Rochester Hotel, and served in public office in Silverton, Colorado, guiding the town through complex development initiatives while fostering community trust and sustainable growth.
