Meet the Founders
Jen Dillard | Real Estate Mogul & Business Strategist
Jen Dillard has built a high-performing real estate empire while helping countless agents scale their businesses with confidence.
As a top-producing agent and team lead of the powerhouse JDRE team—one of the most dominant in the Columbia River Gorge—Jen knows precisely what it takes to stand out in an ultra-competitive market. Licensed in Oregon and Washington, she has mastered the art of real estate success at every level.
But for Jen, real estate isn’t just about selling homes—it’s about building real wealth. With over 700 doors in her investment portfolio, she understands the game inside and out. And now, she’s on a mission to help agents do the same.
She’s not just a leader—she’s a true innovator. As a sought-after keynote speaker, a Certified Guide for Phil M. Jones (leveraging his proven framework for high-impact communication), and the founder of Reinventing You Mastermind, Jen helps women in real estate scale their businesses while achieving true work-life balance.
Her specialty? Systems, scaling, and reinvention—giving agents the exact tools they need to sharpen their skills, streamline operations, and grow with confidence. In Jen’s world, success is built on strategy, consistency, and strong branding.
And now, through Brick by Brick Collective, she’s bringing her game-changing methods to agents who are ready to break through to the next level.
Makena Finger Zannini | Scaling & Operations Expert
Makena Finger Zannini is the powerhouse behind The Boutique COO and CEO Confidant—a business strategist, operations expert, and the secret weapon for entrepreneurs ready to scale.
Her track record speaks for itself. After years of fine-tuning product-market fit, she scaled her own company to seven figures in just eight months. Now, she helps her clients do the same—doubling their revenue, on average, within their first six months of working with her. Unlike the cookie-cutter coaching programs flooding the market, Makena delivers highly customized, no-fluff strategies that drive results.
With decades of experience spanning Wall Street, tech, and small-business consulting, she knows what it takes to build something that lasts. Raised in a working-class family, she put herself through school and earned a B.S. in Business and Statistics from the Wharton School—proving that success isn’t just about where you start but how you execute.
Now, through Brick by Brick Collective, she’s bringing that same structure, strategy, and scalable back-end support to real estate entrepreneurs—helping them build thriving, sustainable businesses without the burnout.
