The Unworthy Leader Podcast: From NFL Family to Real Estate Success (Ep21)
This week on The Unworthy Leader Podcast, host Kendra Dahlstrom sits down with Brooke Kromer—luxury real estate specialist, NFL betting host, and former NFL broadcaster—for a heartfelt conversation on resilience, confidence, and embracing change as a leader.
Brooke opens up about growing up as the daughter of an NFL coach, which meant moving constantly and learning to adapt to new schools, cities, and cultures every few years. Through those frequent transitions, Brooke cultivated a unique ability to build confidence, community, and connection—skills she now uses to support high-profile clients as they search for peace, privacy, and purpose along Florida’s stunning 30A coastline.
With warmth and honesty, Brooke shares how challenges shaped her leadership style, why authentic relationships are her secret weapon in both media and real estate, and how positivity and self-trust are the real game changers—on and off the field.

🎤 Confidence Through Experience, Not Perfection From the sidelines to the spotlight, Brooke learned that confidence is built through showing up authentically—even when you feel unworthy.
