Rooted in faith, service, and vision, this book traces the paths of two women from rural roads to boardrooms, spanning careers in education, real estate, and community development.

Together their stories reveal the power of mentorship, the ripple effect of purpose-driven leadership, and what happens when women lead with heart and build with intention.

From Country Roads to CEO is more than a diary-it's a roadmap for becoming the kind of leader who leaves the world better than you found it. From Country Roads to CEO is a guide to building generational wealth through homeownership!

Brenda McClerking Scott is a proud country girl from a small rural community in Tennessee. Raised on a 130-acre farm alongside her parents, two brothers, and three sisters, Brenda's upbringing was rooted in strong family values, hard work, and love. At the age of five, her parents built a brick home. A milestone that marked the beginning of their family's journey toward generational wealth and left a lasting impression on her understanding of progress and legacy.Brenda pursued her education with unwavering determination, ultimately earning two Bachelor of Science degrees and a Master's degree from the University of Tennessee at Martin. She continued her academic journey at Freed-Hardeman University, where she earned both an Education Specialist (Ed.S.) and a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree. Before retiring at the age of 56, Brenda enjoyed a fulfilling career as a dedicated educator, lifelong learner, and passionate advocate for personal growth and resilience.Her knowledge of real estate empowered her to make wise financial decisions, including purchasing multiple homes, building a mortgage-free home, and acquiring commercial property with plans for future development. Brenda's passion for real estate grew stronger after retirement, leading her to enroll in FastTrack Real Estate School. There, she connected with her broker and CEO, Cheryl Harris, and entered a new and exciting chapter of her professional life.In her twenties, Brenda successfully operated several businesses. Though those ventures were not her true calling at the time, they taught her invaluable lessons about perseverance, commitment, and entrepreneurship principles she learned early in life from her parents. She understands that many people share similar beginnings and that with the right mindset, they can overcome obstacles and build something meaningful. She also wrote her first book, "Are You an Eagle Trapped in a Chicken Coop?"Brenda firmly believes that homeownership is a powerful tool for building generational wealth. Whether renting or owning, everyone needs a place to live, but owning creates opportunities for long-term stability and financial growth for families. Through her work and writing, she aims to inspire others to pursue ownership and build a legacy.Her first book, co-authored with Cheryl Harris, is the beginning of a mini-series designed to uplift and educate readers on the path to ownership and wealth.
