The Freedom CEO

In this powerful episode of The Wellthy CEO, host Shae Invidiata sits down with real estate powerhouse Debbie Cosic, a trailblazer who has helped shape over $26 billion in pre-construction real estate across North America. From her immigrant beginnings to becoming a respected leader in a traditionally male-dominated industry, Debbie shares the real story behind building long-term success in real estate, leadership, and life. This conversation goes beyond property sales and market trends, diving deep into company culture, strategic decision-making, women in business, and the responsibility of building generational wealth. Debbie unpacks what it really takes to lead teams with integrity, when and how to make hard leadership decisions, and why real estate is a long game that rewards vision, patience, and preparation. Together, Shae and Debbie explore legacy, succession planning, and how today’s leaders can empower the next generation to step into roles of impact.
