Episode 26

From a Successful Real Estate Business to Traveling the Country with 4 Kids

With Guest Julia Gentry

, Founder

The Dream Factory & Co.

Julia Gentry

Have you ever asked yourself if there was something more to life? Do you have a dream but something is holding you back from going for it and it keeps you up at night?

By the age of twenty-three, Julia built a successful company in real estate that bought and sold millions of dollars’ worth of investment property only to end up $100,000 in debt. She then rebuilt her career as a business coach, advising hundreds of entrepreneurs on how to build a successful business. She bought the house and nice cars, had a few babies, and obtained “the American dream” only to realize it wasn’t her dream. Every night as she crawled into bed, she had this nagging question in the back of her mind: IS THERE SOMETHING MORE?

Julia, thankfully, identified the answer to that question (YES), and it has now become her mission to help others hear the “wake-up” call and live out their dreams. Whether it’s traveling full time, raising a family of four young children, building businesses, or growth coaching, Julia Gentry has dedicated her life to wake up dreamers everywhere and she’s inviting people into an opportunity to change the conversation to one that REALLY matters.

Whether it's traveling full time, raising a family of four young children, building businesses, or growth coaching, Julia Gentry has dedicated her life to wake up dreamers everywhere and she’s inviting people into an opportunity to change the conversation to one that REALLY matters. By the age of twenty-three, Julia built a successful company in real estate that bought and sold millions of dollars’ worth of investment property only to end up $100,000 in debt. She then rebuilt her career as a business coach, advising hundreds of entrepreneurs on how to build a successful business. She bought the house and nice cars, had a few babies, and obtained “the American dream” only to realize it wasn’t her dream. Every night as she crawled into bed, she had this nagging question in the back of her mind: IS THERE SOMETHING MORE? Thankfully, she identified the answer to that question (YES), and it has become a “wake-up call” that the people of the world didn’t know they always needed!

As a dreamer, author, business owner, and founder of The Dream Factory and Co., she provides a fresh, bold approach to creating greater alignment in life and encourages a more awakened way to live. She is on a mission to create a massive wake-up call that ignites people to be the light in the dark, the salt of the earth, and to be bold as lions in their faith, family, career, and community.

With her truth speaking, matter of fact, crazy practical approach, she just has an uncanny, one of a kind way of moving people forward. She claims her failures are just as epic (if not more so) as her successes and without shame shares it all.

Currently, we don’t know where Julia lives or what she’s doing next, but you can be sure it’s somewhere between brilliant and insane. Follow her journey at TheDreamFactoryandCo.com.
