Lisa Song Sutton has built a career out of stacking unlikely titles on top of each other: beauty queen, attorney, entrepreneur, congressional candidate, and real estate investor. Long before she was managing a multimillion-dollar property portfolio, she was crowned Miss Las Vegas and went on to become Miss Nevada. Lisa Song Sutton joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour to connect the dots between all of it.
The conversation moves from the pageant stage to the campaign trail to the closing table, with Sutton explaining how each chapter actually fed the next rather than standing apart from it.
