In this episode of We Rest on Sundays, we sit down with Kirk McCoy II—real estate expert, business leader, and mentor—to discuss the power of mentorship, the importance of preparation, and the lessons he’s learned in both his professional and personal life.

With over a decade of experience in commercial real estate, Kirk has built a career rooted in strategy, execution, and guiding others toward success. But beyond business, he’s passionate about mentorship—helping others navigate their journeys by providing guidance, access, and real-world insight. We break down how to find the right mentors, how to come prepared for those pivotal conversations, and why mentorship is about more than just career advancement—it’s about personal growth.

Kirk also opens up about marriage, sharing his perspective on maintaining a strong relationship while balancing ambition and responsibility. We reflect on the dangers of comparison in both business and life, reminding ourselves that we are doing enough, that our journeys are unfolding exactly as they should, and that success isn’t just about achievement—it’s about fulfillment.

This is a conversation about wisdom, patience, and trusting the process. Tune in for an episode filled with real talk, practical advice, and a reminder to embrace the season you’re in.
