Power Up Your Life® | Powered by GoBundance | Building Spaces With Purpose: Commercial Real Estate With Heart | Ep. 83 with Ashley Stiles
💫 Welcome to Power Up Your Life®, Powered by GoBundance Women!
In this episode, Mandy McAllister and Kelly Resendez sit down with Ashley Stiles, founder and CEO of Tribe Development, to talk about what it takes to build spaces that truly serve people.
Ashley shares how her 15+ years in commercial real estate have shaped her approach to development, design, and community impact. From developing over $1 billion in assets to helping bring the Buxton Hotel in Fort Collins, Colorado to life, Ashley explains why great spaces are shaped by the people who use them.
The trio also dive into practical advice for women who want to invest, raise capital, start a business, or simply take the next step toward a bigger life—including Ashley’s simple rule: if you can’t understand the math behind an investment, don’t do the deal.
✨ If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, business owner, or someone standing at the edge of your next big move, this conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to know every step—you just need to be willing to figure it out.
