In this special holiday episode of Straight Up, Big Ideas with Dave Howard, Dave is joined by four Associates who each came up through Lee & Associates' Junior Associate Program.

Together, they reflect on their journeys, lessons learned, and how the program shaped their approach to business and growth. The conversation dives into career development, goal-setting for 2026, and what it takes to build momentum in today’s commercial real estate landscape—all while keeping things light with a touch of holiday spirit.

It’s an honest, forward-looking discussion about growth, opportunity, and what’s next for the next generation of Lee Atlanta brokers.
