About this episode
Masha Klapanova is a commercial real estate investor and inspirational speaker who, in a short time, went from zero knowledge of this industry to owning and operating out-of-state self-storage facilities in Texas and North Carolina. Masha’s big ‘why’ is to find a lovely and caring home for one million dogs through the creation of a specialized foster program and to make a transformational impact on individuals, communities, and the earth, by moving others to do philanthropy so they move others to do philanthropy and so on.
