The Click Moment: Leah Smith’s Entrepreneurial Journey

Welcome to Wilder Possibilities podcast, where host Helton Wilder dives deep into the transformational moments that change lives. Anchored in this episode is Leah Smith, owner of Creative Cabana, a creative marketing agency that recently made a significant mark in the industry. Join Helton as he journeys through Leah’s past, tracing the ups and downs, shedding light on the moment everything clicked for her—the big click that set the path for her entrepreneurial success.

The Early Days: From Minnesota to California

Leah’s journey began in St. Paul, Minnesota, before she transitioned to life in the rural farmlands until the age of 9. Seeking wider horizons, her family moved to St. Paul, embracing a vibrant city life. Leah later pursued her education at Simpson College in Iowa, experiencing the quintessential Midwest lifestyle filled with cornfields and country parties.

Her thirst for adventure took her to London for a semester abroad and later ignited her passion for teaching English in Spain. Asheville moments and ending a relationship in Spain motivated Leah to pursue further adventures, leading her to Costa Rica, where she worked at a rainforest conservation center, sharpening her resolve and interests.

Settling in Los Angeles: Realizations and Relationships

Post-Costa Rica, Leah relocated to Los Angeles, entering the realm of education at Harvard-Westlake, immersing herself in academia and philanthropy. It was here she met her future husband amidst the buzz of trivia nights and mutual social circles. But the true turning point came after having two beautiful daughters, realizing staying idle wasn’t in her DNA.

The Real Estate Chapter and The Click

Exploring real estate was a pivotal period for Leah. Despite measurable success, it wasn’t her passion. Together with Helton, they navigated the capricious L.A. real estate market, a journey marked by stress and epiphanies. Her knack for writing and storytelling, refined through her real estate work and personal reflections, was awakening.
