Ep 189 Cosmetics, Courtrooms and Closings: Lexi Brine's Winding Path to Purpose
Law to real estate at Compass, Lexi Brine's career has taken more turns than most — and in this episode, she shares why she left litigation after becoming a mother (against a colleague’s warning that it would end her career) and how the “failed” detours along the way turned out to matter most. She also talks about building a real estate brand around trust and personality, and the women’s networking community she co-founded to help others navigate their own pivots!
Lexi Brine didn’t follow a straight line to where she is now — and that’s the point. After five years in luxury cosmetics marketing at Estée Lauder, she found herself drawn elsewhere, eventually landing at NYU Law after a stint volunteering on a 2008 presidential campaign. From there: litigation at a corporate law firm, a hard exit after becoming a mother, a wandering search through legal recruiting and LSAT tutoring, and finally a real estate career at Compass that finally clicked. Along the way, she co-founded Inc., a networking community supporting women through their own career transitions. In this conversation, Lexi talks candidly about ignoring well-meaning advice, treating “failures” as data rather than dead ends, and building a personal brand rooted in authenticity instead of perfection!
