FSU Panama City to host real estate agent Britt Matthews for Entrepreneurship ‘Lunch & Learn’
The third session of Florida State University Panama City’s Entrepreneurship Lunch & Learn will be on Thursday, March 16, with instructor Brian Baber welcoming local real estate agent and poet Britt Matthews.
Each Lunch & Learn session is from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Holley Academic Center’s St. Joe Community Foundation Lecture Hall, 4750 Collegiate Drive, Panama City. There is no cost for admission, and a light lunch is provided. The public is invited.
Brittany “Britt” Matthews was born into the life of a real estate agent with both of her parents in the career field. She chose in 2012 to expand the family business by becoming not only a broker but also the director of public relations at Beachy Beach Real Estate.
She expanded her reach in 2022 to become both a broker and co-owner of a long-term rental company, Full Heart Rentals. While juggling these two roles, as well as the roles of wife and mother, Matthews found time to also find her voice as an author, singer and songwriter.
“I didn't find my voice until my forties,” Matthews said in a post to her website, BrittMathews.com. “Before that, I was caught in a cycle of people-pleasing—shifting myself to fit whatever role I was in: good daughter, wife, mother, fixer […] And somewhere in that mess, I rediscovered poetry—and my own voice.”
Matthews defines herself by three terms, calling herself a Late Bloomer, Overcomer and an Advocate. She describes herself as someone who is driven by one passion through her life: helping people find where they belong.
Baber, MBA, is the Entrepreneur in Residence at FSU PC’s Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, specializing in real estate and construction. He leads each Lunch & Learn session in a relaxed conversational style. View recordings of the sessions on FSU Panama City’s YouTube channel, YouTube.com/c/FloridaStateUniversityPanamaCity.
