It's easy for you just to think, oh, I can kill it, I can kill, I can kill it, in the same way that it's easy to love yourself. But it's harder to apply what you learned in the Bible with other people” - Preston Perry  “It’s kind of a myth about marriage is that our significant other is supposed to be our everything. That's very intimidating for me [and] that's a lot of pressure for me to be someone's everything because I'm not.” – Erika Brown “We have similar gifts — we both are gifted to teach. We both are communicators [and] are creatives. So, we don't necessarily have tension when it comes to sharing a call, per se. I think we've had tension when one of us has a vision that the other doesn't feel like walking into. And so Preston will often have ideas that take me years to agree with.” – Jackie Hill Perry GUEST RESOURCES: Jackie Hill Perry | jackiehillperry.com  IG | @jackiehillperry Preston Perry | preston-perry.com IG | @preston_n_perry RESOURCES:  [SAVE YOUR SPOT!] Ready to elevate your real estate journey?
