Rebel's Center of Creativity
Welcome to The Center of Creativity — the podcast by Rebel, a creative brand studio in the Rebellion Group, where creative minds collide to celebrate the art and chaos of our crafts in a world that seems to value them less and less. We dive deep into the business of creativity, from breaking into the industry and building careers to navigating the freelance hustle. But it’s not all business — we’re here to laugh, learn, and let loose with some drinks. Whether you’re an artist, designer, writer, or maker, this is your space to recharge, rethink, and rebel.

Episode 37: Stories of Courage: Bess Edition
Of all the emotions that come with leadership, one is most important: courage.
When it feels hard. Scary. Daunting.
When you feel doubt, uncertainty, stress, unknown.
Something inside you draws you in — to lean into that moment and have the courage to do what’s right.
On today’s episode, we’re talking to Bess Freedman, the CEO of Brown Harris Stevens. She oversees 55 offices and more than 2,300 agents across New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Florida. Under her leadership, Brown Harris Stevens has grown into one of the largest and most successful privately held real estate companies in the United States.
Bess gets raw and real and shows her true courage on this episode.
