Host: Martin Rowinski, CEO of Boardsi
Guest: Ginger Faith, Real Estate Broker
Welcome to another enriching episode of Boardsi Leadership Talks, where we spend time unpacking bold leadership, strategic growth and the journeys that define today’s most impactful professionals. I’m Martin Rowinski, CEO of Boardsi, and today I had the pleasure of speaking with a powerhouse in real estate, entrepreneurship and community empowerment—Ginger Crystal Faith. With nearly three decades in mortgage brokering, luxury development and Airbnb hosting, Ginger is also the founder of Women’s Wealth Network. Her mission? Building wealth and financial stability for everyday investors, especially women, and reinforcing communities one property at a time.
Discussion Points
1. From Ministries to Multifamily Homes
Ginger’s early career as a minister planted the seed of service. A Robert Allen book inspired her to buy properties to fund her ministry—she started with a six-family unit and never looked back. That desire to serve shaped her growth mindset and kept her anchored in purpose more than profit.
2. Hands-On Leadership through Real Estate
Having experienced every step—from mortgage brokering to ground-up building—Ginger’s leadership style is deeply informed and situational. She shared a moment from a triathlon backstroke when she realized how far she’d come. Growth, she told me, is less about destination and more about steadily stacking skills and experience.
3. Homeownership as Investment and Community Anchor
Ginger emphasized how homeownership fosters pride, security and long-term community health. Lenders often decline loans in heavily rented areas because renters typically care less for the asset. When someone owns property, they have a stake, a sense of responsibility. That investment doesn’t just change a home—it changes a neighborhood.
4. Aligning Education, Fear, and Opportunity
According to Ginger, new investors often struggle between fear of loss and overconfident guesses. Education is the bridge. Whether it’s a zoning restriction or property tax spike, knowing what you’re stepping into can make the difference between a return and a regret.
5. Empowering Women in Real Estate
Only 3% of commercial real estate is owned by women—and of that, just 1.5% are active investors. She challenged listeners to get licensed, get educated, seek mentorship and build communities. Financial independence isn’t just a personal victory; it’s a ripple effect for economic equity.
6. Lessons in Leadership: Mic Drop Moments
Two golden rules from Ginger: Know your numbers, and build a trustworthy team. She calls it the bathtub theory: stop the leakage, add more water. That’s good advice, whether you’re building homes or building businesses.
My Take as CEO of Boardsi
At Boardsi, we help executives elevate their leadership presence through education, branding and board matching. I was struck when Ginger referenced our recent conversation: executives who engage fully with our platform, complete courses and enrich their personal brand, become exponentially more visible and impactful. That commitment to growth isn’t optional—it’s a mindset. Ginger’s work mirrors our philosophy at Boardsi: invest in your capabilities first, and opportunities will follow.
Leadership & Wealth Advice from Ginger
Start and get educated: Know your market. Treat real estate like a locale-specific business.
Aim for discipline, not fearlessness: Too much fear freezes, too much boldness burns. Balanced urgency wins.
Commit with conviction: When people take ownership, they become protectors—and communities thrive.
